Could your fatigue, bloating, or random skin rashes be more than “just stress” or IBS? You might be shocked to learn they could actually be signs of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or even colon cancer — yes, it’s possible without having obvious digestive symptoms.

It’s unfortunately common to discover that you have Crohn’s or ulcerative colitis in your 60s, and not because of gut issues… but during a routine colonoscopy screening. Others are misdiagnosed for years while battling brain fog, thyroid problems, skin issues like psoriasis, vitiligo, eczema, or even unexplained anemia — all while the real problem quietly worsens.

I’m joined by Dr. Ilana Gurevich, a naturopathic gastroenterologist who specializes in complex GI disorders. We dive into the hidden signs of IBD, how it differs from IBS, sneaky signs of colon cancer (especially with skyrocketing rates), and the TRUTH about colonoscopies – why you should absolutely stop putting it off and never use a stool test for gut health as a replacement.

If you’ve been brushed off, gaslit, or still searching for answers, you don’t want to miss this.

Is Tylenol really safe?

With all the dramatic discussions online about acetaminophen, autism, and potential side effects (that include liver failure risks), my clients have been asking my opinion. The truth is somewhere in the middle because, as with anything – over-the-counter medications like this, herbs or even nutritional supplements – there are pros and cons.

Nothing is risk–free.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what acetaminophen does in your body, what it depletes (super important!), stats on side effects, and what to consider before reaching for it—plus some supportive options and cleaner alternatives.

Have you tried maca root for perimenopause, menopause, manopause (low T), adrenal fatigue, or hormone imbalances and felt like it didn’t work—or even made things worse? While it’s often marketed as a universal hormone balancer, not all maca is created equal. Different types of maca root affect the body in very different ways, so using the wrong kind can actually worsen symptoms triggering anxiety, acne, or energy crashes.

In this episode, Dr. Deanna Minich, PhD—nutrition scientist and educator —returns to unpack the science behind maca’s many forms. With over 20 years of experience in both academia and the natural health industry, Dr. Minich shares…

🤔Why not all maca root supplements work the same way

⭐️Best type of maca for perimenopause and menopause

😬How store-bought maca blends can worsen symptoms (beware if you’re just adding it to a smoothie or making maca balls)

🎉Tips to choose an effective maca supplement

Before you buy another bag of maca root powder or maca supplements, here’s what you need to know to choose the right type for your hormonal needs.

Is forgetfulness just a normal part of aging—or could it be the early signs of dementia?

After watching a loved one slowly lose their ability to speak, eat, and remember who they were, I knew I had to find answers. That’s why I sat down with Dr. Heather Sandison, ND, to explore the truth about Alzheimer’s and dementia—and what you can do to protect your brain long before symptoms take hold.

We’re talking early warning signs, testing to understand your dementia risk, hidden inflammatory brain triggers, dementia genes, and science-backed steps to get ahead of cognitive decline.

Yes, you can do something about this – and it has to start long before you’ve got symptoms!

👉 Tune in and learn how to give your brain a fighting chance.

Struggling with weight loss in your late 30s or 40s? You’re not alone. Perimenopause can throw your metabolism for a loop — such that your usual go-to strategies no longer work (and might even cause perimenopause weight gain).

In this episode, I’m joined by Amber Brueseke, founder of Biceps After Babies and MACROS 101, to unpack the real reasons perimenopause weight loss is so challenging — and what to do instead.

We dive into:

💪 Why muscle loss starting in your late 30s makes weight loss harder

🥑 What people get wrong about macro counting

⏱️ Whether fasting is your friend or foe

🚫 And why diet strategies like keto, low-carb or calorie counting isn’t the answer

Amber’s practical, no-BS approach will leave you feeling empowered — not defeated — about what’s possible in your 30s, 40s, and beyond.

✨ Is sun the only helpful type of light treatment?

✨ What other health issues should you watch out for?

If you are on a mission to make your psoriasis go away, this hopeful, empowering conversation will help you see what’s going on with your skin from a different perspective!

Dairy is often labeled as inflammatory and unhealthy—but is that really true? With rising dairy intolerance and the popularity of plant-based alternatives, it’s easy to wonder if milk still belongs in our diets.

Traditional dairy like yogurt, kefir, and cheese have nourished cultures for thousands of years, yet modern processing may play a role in today’s issues.

Joining me is Dr. Bill Schindler, archaeologist, primitive technologist, and chef, who studies ancestral diets and runs the Modern Stone Age Kitchen. Together, we unpack whether dairy is truly “bad” for you, why dairy intolerance is on the rise, and what you can do to better tolerate dairy.

Best known for weight loss and blood sugar control, GLP-1 drugs might also reduce the stubborn inflammation behind hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). Early research shows they may impact key inflammatory pathways—and even improve HS symptoms (including painful skin boils) without major weight loss.

But big questions remain: How do they interact with current HS treatments? Who can prescribe them? What happens if you stop?

Dermatologist and HS expert Dr. Steven Daveluy returns to unpack the science, share insights, and explore what this could mean for the future of HS care. Don’t miss it!
