Ep 11 | Stress Is Wrecking More Than You Think: How Stress Affects Your Gut, Sleep & Blood Sugar

Episode 94

Tuesday, September 8, 2026 • Duration 18:17

Stress doesn’t just affect how you feel emotionally. When your body spends too much time in a state of stress or fight-or-flight, the effects can show up in places you might not expect.

In this episode of Every Symptom Has a Story™, Wendy Handy explores how chronic stress may affect digestion and gut motility, change eating patterns, disrupt sleep, influence blood sugar, and even affect the gut microbiome.

If several things in your body seem to feel “off” at the same time, stress may be one piece of the story worth looking at.

Because every symptom has a story—and understanding the connections can help you start asking better questions about what your body may be trying to tell you.

What’s actually hiding in the products you put on your skin every day?

In this episode of Every Symptom Has a Story, I’m sharing five ingredients I personally chose to ditch from my beauty and personal-care routine, why I made those changes, and what I use instead.

This isn’t about fear, perfection, or throwing everything in your bathroom away overnight. It’s about becoming more aware of what you’re using, asking better questions, and making simple swaps that feel right for you.

We’ll talk about ingredients that may show up in everyday skincare and beauty products, why I started paying closer attention to them as part of my own body-listening journey, and some of the alternatives I chose.

Ep 8 | Cortisol 101: Why "Just Relax" Doesn't Fix Your Stress Hormones

Episode 91

Tuesday, August 18, 2026 • Duration 08:44

"Just relax" is the most useless advice anyone can give you about stress — and today we're talking about why. Cortisol, your body's primary stress hormone, is essential in the right amounts but wreaks havoc when chronically elevated: disrupted blood sugar, poor sleep, digestive issues, and even other hormone imbalances. In this episode, I break down what cortisol actually does, what happens when it stays elevated too long, and the real, physiological strategies that help regulate it — because relaxation alone isn't enough.

In this episode:

What cortisol actually does (and why it's not the enemy)
What chronic stress does to your blood sugar, sleep, and hormones
The gut-hormone-stress connection
5 real strategies for regulating cortisol (beyond "just relax")

Ep 7 | You're Eating Healthy, So Why Don't You Feel Better?

Episode 90

Tuesday, August 11, 2026 • Duration 11:04

Ever feel like you're doing everything right — eating clean, exercising, getting enough sleep — and still dealing with afternoon fatigue, brain fog, or bloating you can't quite explain? In this episode, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and Health Coach Wendy Handy breaks down why "doing everything right" doesn't always mean feeling right — and why the symptoms you've quietly accepted as normal might actually be your body's way of communicating.

You'll learn: ✔️ Why symptoms like fatigue, bloating, and brain fog are information, not personal failure ✔️ How "normal" quietly gets redefined over time, without you ever deciding it should ✔️ A simple, no-overhaul way to start listening to your body this week

Whether you're navigating unexplained fatigue, digestive issues, or that nagging sense that something's a little off even though your labs came back "normal" — this episode will help you start asking better questions about your health.

🌿 Every symptom has a story. Get curious enough to understand yours.

Ep 6 | Magnesium The Missing Mineral Behind Your Fatigue, Sleep and Stress

Episode 89

Tuesday, August 4, 2026 • Duration 07:50

Magnesium deficiency might be the missing piece behind your fatigue, sleep, and stress — and most people don't even know they have it. In this Supplement Spotlight episode, I'm breaking down everything you need to know about magnesium: why it's one of the most common mineral deficiencies today, the signs your body might be low, and why standard bloodwork often misses it entirely.

We'll also cover the four main types of magnesium — glycinate, citrate, malate, and threonate — and which one actually fits your specific symptoms, whether that's poor sleep, anxiety, muscle cramps, low energy, or brain fog. If you've tried "a magnesium supplement" before and felt nothing, this episode explains exactly why the type matters as much as taking it at all.

In this episode:

Why magnesium deficiency is so widespread, even with a "healthy" diet
The most common signs of low magnesium (sleep issues, anxiety, muscle cramps, fatigue, headaches)
Why blood tests often fail to catch magnesium deficiency
Magnesium glycinate vs. citrate vs. malate vs. threonate — what each is actually best for
How to choose the right type of magnesium for your specific symptoms

Ep 5 | What Your Bloating Is Actually Trying to Tell You

Episode 88

Tuesday, July 28, 2026 • Duration 07:38

Ever feel like your gut's trying to communicate with you through rumbles, gurgles, and that "food baby" feeling by 3pm? In this episode, I'm breaking down why chronic bloating isn't random — it's your body's check-engine light. We'll cover the five most common root causes of bloating (from eating too fast to low stomach acid to hormonal fluctuations), plus simple, practical steps you can start today to decode what your gut is actually telling you. If you've normalized bloating as just "what happens when you eat," this episode will change how you think about your symptoms for good.

In this episode:

Why bloating is data, not just an annoyance
The 5 most common causes of chronic bloating
The truth about stomach acid (it's often too LOW, not too high)
How stress and the vagus nerve affect digestion
Simple first steps to start troubleshooting your own symptoms

Episode 86

Tuesday, July 14, 2026 • Duration 12:54

Have you ever stopped to wonder if your symptoms are actually trying to tell you something?

Most of us have been taught to view symptoms as problems to eliminate as quickly as possible. But what if they're something more? What if they're your body's way of asking for your attention?

In this episode of Every Symptom Has A Story, Wendy Handy shares the mindset shift that transformed her own journey with ulcerative colitis and explains why learning to listen to your body can change the way you approach your health.

Ep 2 | When Your Diagnosis Becomes Your Identity (And How to Take it Back)

Episode 85

Tuesday, July 7, 2026 • Duration 13:47

Can a diagnosis change your life without defining who you are?

When we're diagnosed with a chronic health condition, it's easy to let that diagnosis become part of our identity. We begin making decisions through the lens of fear instead of hope, and sometimes we forget the person we were before our symptoms began.

In this episode, I share my own journey with ulcerative colitis and the mindset shift that completely changed the way I viewed my health. We'll talk about why a diagnosis is an important piece of information—but it's never the whole story.

You'll learn:

✨ Why a diagnosis doesn't define your future

✨ How curiosity can replace fear

✨ The question that changed my own healing journey

✨ A simple exercise to help you reconnect with who you are beyond your symptoms

Whether you're navigating autoimmune disease, digestive issues, hormone imbalances, fatigue, or another chronic condition, I hope this episode reminds you that your story is still being written.

Because every symptom has a story... and every story deserves to be understood.
