Wellness can quickly start to feel like a full-time job. So what do we actually come back to when we want to feel our best? In our first solo episode of this season, we’re sharing more of our own health journeys, how those experiences ultimately led us to build Omni-Biotic U.S., and why we created The Wellness Digest.

Then we get practical: we break down the 10 wellness non-negotiables that have earned a lasting place in our lives. These aren’t necessarily the newest, trendiest, or most complicated practices. They’re the things we return to because they help us feel more grounded, energized, and resilient in real life. Think of this episode as a chance to get to know us better, and a reminder that supporting your health doesn’t have to mean doing everything.

What if symptoms aren’t isolated problems, but clues to a bigger pattern? Dr. Felice Chan, Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncturist, joins us to explore the fundamentally different way Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) looks at the body and what this ancient framework can teach us about modern health.

We unpack how TCM approaches digestion and gut health, stress, hormones, fertility, and inflammation, and why seemingly unrelated symptoms may be more connected than we realize. Dr. Chan also explains some of the patterns she looks for in her own patients and how practices like acupuncture fit into a broader approach to restoring balance. We round out the episode with simple ways to bring some of this ancient wisdom into everyday life, without needing to overhaul everything we already do.

In this episode, we sit down with leading functional medicine expert and bestselling author Dr. Will Cole to explore cellular health and why it matters for how we feel, function, and age. We dive into gut health, chronic stress, environmental exposures, peptides, raising resilient children, and the simple practices that can help us build healthier, happier, and more resilient bodies from the inside out.

In this episode of The Wellness Digest, we sit down with integrative health practitioner Tapp Francke to explore a root-cause approach to feeling and living well. We discuss Lyme and chronic illness, gut health, GLP-1s, and peptides, plus the foundational practices and emerging therapies Tapp believes can support long-term health.

The Wellness Digest is a weekly reset for anyone trying to feel well without turning wellness into a full-time job.

Hosted by sisters Hannah and Lena Kleinfeld, the founders behind Omni-Biotic U.S., the show draws on their unique perspective working alongside microbiome scientists, clinicians, and thousands of people navigating symptoms that are often misunderstood, dismissed, or left unexplained.

Each week, they explore the patterns shaping modern health, from burnout and nervous system overload to hormone shifts, skin changes, fatigue, and digestion, and what these signals may be trying to tell us.

Through expert conversations and honest discussions, Hannah and Lena share what they are learning through their work, their own health journeys, and the practitioners they trust, offering a clearer, more grounded understanding of how to support your body in real life.

The gut remains a throughline, but the mission is bigger. To help you cut through noise, return to foundations, and better understand what it takes to feel well today.

As we close out Season 1 of The Wellness Digest, we’re dedicating our final episode to the foundation of women’s health, resilience, and longevity: the gut.

When your gut is off, everything feels off, and that’s not a coincidence. Your gut microbiome acts as a central control center, influencing energy, mood, immunity,  inflammation, and how well you age. And for women especially, gut imbalances show up faster and louder, from bloating and constipation to burnout and hormonal disruption.

In this episode, we break down:

• Why gut microbiome balance matters for healthspan, not just lifespan

• Why women are disproportionately affected by digestive issues and gut imbalances

• How chronic stress and burnout disrupt the gut–brain axis 

• The estrobolome explained: how gut bacteria regulate estrogen, fertility, PMS, PCOS, and more

• Why low-grade inflammation accelerates disease and aging 

• The gut–skin connection and what the science says about glowing from within

• Why daily gut care is one of the most powerful forms of preventative self-care for modern women

We also share simple, realistic gut-support rituals, from nourishing food choices to targeted probiotic support, designed to fit into real life.

Your gut is not just about digestion—it’s about vitality, clarity, and longevity!

We believe the phrase “Your skin is the external mirror of your gut” to be very true. In this episode of The Wellness Digest, we’re unpacking the powerful gut–skin connection, and why so many skin concerns are actually signals that your gut is struggling. From breakouts and eczema to dullness and inflammation, your skin is often the first place gut imbalance shows up. In this episode, we cover:

• How the gut and skin communicate through the immune system and inflammation
• What leaky gut and dysbiosis really mean and how they affect skin clarity
• Why stress, antibiotics, sugar, alcohol, and low fiber intake disrupt the gut and the skin
• How probiotics and prebiotics support the gut barrier, immune regulation, and nutrient absorption
• Clinical research showing significant improvements in acne, eczema, and overall skin complaints with targeted probiotics 

If you’ve tried every topical product with limited results or simply care about your skin, this episode invites you to zoom out and start where real skin health begins: the gut.

Most people think inflammation is something you feel, but one of the biggest drivers of health issues, chronic disease, and premature aging is something far more subtle: low-grade inflammation. And, it's quietly being fueled by the gut.

In this episode, we unpack what low-grade inflammation is, why it’s so widespread, and how today’s lifestyle — stress, processed food, sleep deficits, environmental toxins — keeps the immune system on a slow, steady simmer. We break down how the gut lining and gut–brain–immune loop can either drive inflammation… or calm it.

Most importantly, we’ll share the daily habits, foods, and clinically studied probiotics that help soothe this internal fire. If you’ve been feeling tired, puffy, moody, foggy, or “off,” this episode will help you understand why — and what to do about it.

As the weather cools and the days get shorter, our routines, cravings, and energy shift — and so does our gut. In this episode of The Wellness Digest, we break down how fall and winter impact the microbiome, immunity, and mood, and why this season can bring everything from sluggish digestion to more stress and more colds.

We’ll explore how seasonal changes influence microbial balance, why the gut is the control center for immune training during cold & flu season, and how holiday foods, travel, and stress affect digestion. We also dive into the gut-brain axis, explaining how less sunlight and altered serotonin levels can shape both mood and gut function.

Plus, we discuss the surprising role of gratitude and social connection in supporting microbial diversity and reducing inflammation.

This is one of Hannah and Lena’s most personal episodes yet. Both of them have navigated persistent Lyme disease at different points in their lives, but with the same confusion, misdiagnoses, and long stretches of feeling unwell without clear answers. They share what Lyme really is, why it’s so often missed, and how it can impact the body in ways most people never hear about. They also talk about the healing side—the resilience, clarity, and transformation that ultimately came from their journeys. You’ll hear what helped them rebuild, why supporting the gut and immune system was essential, and the simple prevention habits every family should know. Whether you’re dealing with Lyme, exploring chronic symptoms, or just wanting to better understand Hannah and Lena’s journeys, this conversation offers compassion, insight, and hope.
