The first 1000 days of motherhood are often the hardest and also the most important for your baby’s developing body.

In this episode, Kylie sits down with Cheryl Sew Hoy, founder and CEO of Tiny Health, for a grounded, science-backed conversation about how early gut development shapes immune, skin, and metabolic health both short-term and long-term.

Cheryl is a mom of three and reviews infant microbiome lab results daily. In this conversation, she shares what she’s consistently seeing make the biggest difference during early life, and how small, realistic changes can support a baby’s gut without adding pressure or overwhelm.

Rather than focusing on doing everything “perfectly,” this episode explores how parents can support gut health in practical, doable ways during pregnancy, postpartum, and early childhood.

You’ll hear about:

• Why the first 1000 days are such a critical window for immune and metabolic health
• Simple food and lifestyle choices that support a healthy microbiome
• How probiotics and prebiotics actually work in infants
• The role of outside exposure and environment, even for families living in cities
• Whether testing your baby’s microbiome can be helpful
• How dads and the household environment play a role in a baby’s gut health

If you’re pregnant, postpartum, or raising young children, this episode offers a clearer, calmer framework for understanding baby gut health and what actually matters most early on.

If you struggle to fall asleep, wake up during the night, or feel like your sleep is light and unrefreshing, this episode is for you.

In this episode, Kylie sits down with Dr. Meredith Broderick, a Stanford-trained neurologist and sleep medicine physician, to explore why sleep issues are rarely about willpower or bedtime routines alone.

This conversation looks at sleep through a deeper lens, focusing on rhythm, stress, and the signals your body uses to decide when it is safe to fall asleep and stay asleep.

• The difference between sleep habits and sleep signals

• Why some popular sleep tools help some people and backfire for others
• The connection between sleep, hormones, gut health, and energy

The holidays are supposed to feel joyful, but for many women they bring more stress, anxiety, and physical symptoms than any other time of year.

In this episode, Kylie explains what holiday stress is actually doing inside your body, especially to your hormones, gut, and energy levels, and how to support yourself without trying to do everything perfectly.

You’ll learn:

• Why stress hits the body harder during the holidays
• The hormone most responsible for anxiety, fatigue, and digestive issues
• One morning habit that can set the tone for your entire day
• How caffeine and sugar can quietly worsen stress (and what to do instead)
• Foods and nutrients that support calm and steady energy
• Why boundaries and letting go of perfection matter more than willpower

If the holidays usually leave you drained, bloated, or emotionally overwhelmed, this episode will help you move through the season feeling calmer and more grounded.
