Season 2, Ep 5

Welcome to The Chronic Chronicles, I'm SO happy that you're here!

In this solo episode of The Chronic Chronicles, I'm breaking down the science of how gut health and inflammation are connected and how that connection shows up in conditions like endometriosis, PCOS, autoimmune issues, and beyond.

Plus, I'm sharing my personal gut health journey (spoiler: it hasn't been linear), what's helped me the most, and what I'm still figuring out.

If you've ever wondered if gut health actually matters for your chronic illness — this episode is for you.

Disclaimer: I'm not a doctor, just a human with lived experience, a science background, and a whole lot of research. Always speak with your provider before making any changes to your care plan.
