You're scrolling and suddenly you see a headline on The New York Times saying: "Protein Is Overrated." "Cold Plunges Don't Work." "Supplements Are a Waste of Money." And now you're spiraling. In this episode, I teach you how to spot oversimplified, click-driven health information - even when it comes from major media outlets. Because let's face it: most of it is total BS. In this episode, I'm divi...

Somewhere along the way, vaginal birth got labeled "natural" and C-sections got labeled "failure," and women have been quietly carrying the weight of that narrative ever since. Myself included, since Jasper ended up being a C-section baby - something I had never even considered would be possible. In this episode, I cover: What actually happens hormonally and physically during a vaginal birth Why a...

Gallbladder and bile issues are some of the most common digestive problems in the western world - and with good reason. But you have more control over preventing these problems than you might think -- meaning you don't have to wait for the pain to be so intense that you get your gallbladder removed. (And even then, it might not solve your issues). In today's rebooted show, I'm telling you all abou...

Did you know that you're really only highly likely to get pregnant during 5 days out of an entire menstrual cycle? Because most people don't - that's why hormonal birth control is so popular.

Listen on to find out: - how to take...

If listening to your body were really that easy, we'd all be in perfect physical and healthy shape. In this episode, I'm talking about why this is some of the most well intentioned but poorly explained advice in wellness - especially if you've lived in chronic stress, diet culture, postpartum depletion, or burnout. I'm talking: How chronic stressors distort hunger, fatigue, and cravings Why exhaus...

From a functional medicine perspective, fatigue isn't caused by a single thing; it's the result of multiple systems being depleted at the same time. In this episode of Paige Talks Wellness, I unpack why "just rest" often isn't enough for chronic fatigue, burnout, postpartum depletion, and nervous system exhaustion, and why struggling to feel better doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong. Why res...

If you're feeling overwhelmed by wellness advice, discouraged by your lack of progress, or like your body just isn't responding the way it "should," this episode is for you.

If you've been on any kind of health-related social media this month, you know that all the hype is about eating enough protein, having enough fiber, and balancing your blood sugar.

As parents, we expect the occasional food reaction. Maybe a rash, some fussiness, or a tummy ache. But what happens when your child suddenly becomes violently ill hours after eating something they've had before, and no one seems to know why? That was my reality when Jasper had this kind of reaction to shrimp. Inside this episode, I'm digging into: What FPIES is and how it differs from IgE-mediated...

This Thanksgiving, while you're trying to enjoy time with family and eat the meal you spent hours preparing, the world is loudly jumping back on the "skinny" trend.

I used to follow every clean-eating rule I could find. From the outside, it looked like I had it all together. But on the inside? I was completely consumed by food.
