I’m talking about one of my favorite topics: The Gut.

This is where everything from the gut series comes together. Becaus...

Most people focus on what to eat, but almost no one is asking if their body is actually breaking that food down and using it. In this episode, I'm talking about the digestion problem that quietly drains your energy, even when you’re eating well. If you deal with bloating, fatigue after meals, brain fog, or feel like food just “sits” in your stomach, this is a conversation you need to hear. I'll wa...

In this episode, I break down one of the biggest misconceptions I see in women’s health: collagen is not a complete protein.

In this episode, I'll break down what omega-3 fatty acids (EPA & DHA) do in the body and why they become more important during perimenopause and menopause.
