| Celiac, HLA, MTHFR and APOE4: The Story Behind the Genes We Fear Most | 172 | 09 Dec 2025 | 00:24:20 | |
There is something incredibly liberating that happens when you realize your genes are not a life sentence. We have all been told that if a gene runs in your family, you’re destined to live out the same story. Celiac. MTHFR. Hashimoto’s. Breast cancer genes. We’re taught to brace ourselves instead of learning how to influence the environment those genes live in. When the gut is overwhelmed, the immune system stays in a reactive state, and in that environment certain genes become more expressive than they would in a balanced body. And as the gut heals and the immune system steadies, those expressions often soften again. When we move through life in the energy of fearing our bodies, or resenting the parts of us that feel complicated or confusing, it creates a disconnect. Not just within us, but within our children. They feel it. They feel the way we brace around certain symptoms. They feel the heaviness we carry when we believe something is wrong with us, or wrong with them. Our energy teaches them what to believe about their own bodies, the world around them, and what is possible or impossible. If your child has a gene variant that society labels as undesirable, the most healing thing you can offer them is not fear. It’s acceptance. It’s steadiness. It’s the belief that their body is not broken. Because when you hold that belief, they learn to hold it too. Your body is not something you need to fear. Your child’s body is not something to fix. Every single part of you was designed on purpose. Every one of your gene variants is a page in your story. And when certain genes express, it is an invitation. It is your body communicating with you and bringing you back into alignment so you can show up in your life as the best version of you.. It is your body asking you to come closer, not pull away. When you view your body through this lens, everything shifts. You stop battling yourself. You stop bracing for what might happen. You begin partnering with your body instead of fearing it. And this is where your deepest power lives. In relationship. In understanding. In the environment you create on the inside. Your genes respond to you. They respond to the way you live, the way you nourish yourself, the way you support your gut and your nervous system, the way you speak to yourself, the way you choose to show up every day. And the more safety and nourishment you bring into your life, the more your genes settle into the expression that serves you. This is the freedom of gene expression. This is the empowerment that no lab report can ever take away from you. Thanks for listening! I would love to connect with you ♡

| Your Healing Timeline Has a Purpose | 171 | 02 Dec 2025 | 00:19:06 | |
Do you ever wonder why it feels like everyone else is healing faster than you or your child? Comparing timelines is something I see a lot of and it's something I have experienced myself. It can be really hard to be months into your journey and see someone else making remarkable progress in just two days! There’s this quiet pressure most women carry, and no one really talks about it out loud. The pressure to grow faster. Heal faster. Figure things out faster. To not fall behind. To keep pace with whatever invisible timeline we think we’re supposed to be on. And when healing is part of the story, that pressure multiplies. You start comparing your child’s progress to someone else’s. You compare how quickly someone else’s skin cleared or how fast another woman felt “better” in her body. You start thinking your timeline means something about you. Or your motherhood. Or your effort. Or the choices you’ve made. Your timeline is not a measure of how well you’re doing. Your timeline is a mirror of who you’re becoming. Healing isn’t just symptoms leaving the body. It’s the nervous system learning safety again. It’s the mind slowly moving out of survival mode. It’s the body trusting itself enough to let go of things it’s been holding for years, gosh, for most of us… our entire lives. And deep growth, the kind you actually feel in your bones, never happens on a schedule. It unfolds in the pace your life can hold. The pace your motherhood can hold. The pace your nervous system can hold. Thanks for listening! I would love to connect with you ♡

| Cleanses, Detoxes, and Fads I Would Never Follow (And Why) | 162 | 29 Jul 2025 | 00:31:09 | |
We are all bombarded with quick-fix “solutions” whether it is from a doctor, dermatologist or an influencer online, and it’s no wonder it feels confusing. One person is recommending a powder. Another is telling you to take ten different herbs. Then someone else is claiming you have to do a parasite cleanse before you can heal anything else. It’s a lot. And it’s really important to understand how these different cleanses, detoxes, and fads actually work (or don’t work) so that you can make the most aligned and intentional choices for your body or your child’s. So let’s take a closer look at some of the most common tools people are talking about or being told to use. Because I want to walk you through exactly why they’re not included in any of our formulas at ōNLē - and how that decision was made with deep, thoughtful intention. These aren’t ingredients we overlooked. They’re ingredients we intentionally chose not to include, because of what we now understand about how they interact with the body. When we know better, we can choose better. Thanks for listening! I would love to connect with you ♡

| When the Rashes, Reflux, and Delays Don’t Make Sense: Katie’s Story of Finding the Root Cause | 161 | 22 Jul 2025 | 01:02:11 | |
Have you ever found yourself sitting in a doctor’s office, holding your baby, knowing deep in your body that something wasn’t right… but every test, every specialist, every answer left you more confused? That’s exactly where Katie found herself. Her son Zion was struggling with severe reflux, eczema, allergies, developmental delays, and constant discomfort. Every specialist brushed it off. “It’s normal. He’ll grow out of it.” But her gut kept saying… “no”. In today’s Follow Your Gut Podcast episode, Katie shares the raw, honest story of how she found the courage to trust her intuition, uncover the real root cause, and completely transform her family’s health. This conversation will meet you wherever you are - whether your child is covered in a rash, experiencing reflux, food sensitivities, or delays… or you just feel stuck, questioning the system, wondering if real healing is even possible. It is. And Katie’s story will remind you of the power you already hold.👇🏼 Thanks for listening! I would love to connect with you ♡

| Why Rashes Get Itchier at Night and How to Support the Body Through It | 160 | 15 Jul 2025 | 00:17:12 | |
If you or your child struggle with eczema, hives, or any type of rash that feels itchier at night… you’ve probably noticed a pattern. Things feel fairly manageable during the day. Maybe the rash even looks like it’s calming down? But then nighttime hits, and suddenly the itching ramps up. Your child tosses and turns, they scratch until they bleed, they cry because they’re so uncomfortable. And as a mama, it feels so defeating. Especially because you’ve been doing everything you can to help them. I know that feeling so well. Sitting there in the dark, sobbing because you feel like you’ve done something wrong. This isn’t your fault and you and your child can heal. There’s a reason rashes flare at night. And understanding it changes everything. In this week’s Follow Your Gut Podcast episode, I’m walking you through exactly why rashes get itchier at night, the role histamine plays, and how gut imbalances, toxins, and sluggish detox pathways all contribute to these cycles. You’ll learn what’s happening inside the body… and exactly what your next steps can be - whether you’re brand new to ōNLē or you’ve been in this work for a while. We’ll talk about: You don’t have to stay stuck in this cycle. Your body is trying to heal. And now it’s time to help it do exactly that. Listen to the episode here 👇🏼 Thanks for listening!

| The Hidden Impact of Swimming, Antibiotics, and Accutane: Addiction, Anxiety, and Gut Health - My Husband’s Healing Story | 159 | 08 Jul 2025 | 01:20:47 | |
I’ve shared so much over the years about my boys’ healing journeys. About the years of struggle, battling every symptom that made us feel like something was wrong but no one could give us answers. The unhealthy poops, the rashes, the constant restless sleep, the allergies, the speech delays, the meltdowns and behavioral struggles that left us questioning everything. And how, through it all, rebalancing their guts didn’t just completely heal their bodies... It changed our entire lives. It changed me as a mother, and as a woman. But one part of the story I haven’t told enough… is my husband Ty’s. When we first started rebalancing our family, it wasn’t just about the kids. Ty was quietly carrying decades of symptoms that, at the time, felt totally normal. He grew up as a competitive swimmer which meant constant chlorine exposure, chronic ear infections and round after round of antibiotics, year after year. Then came the teenage acne, the Accutane, the antidepressants, and the sleeping medications. The list just kept growing. It wasn’t until we adopted a microbiome lifestyle (the one that healed out boys) that everything finally started to make sense for Ty. The decade of addiction, anxiety, depression, the constant food cravings, and the feeling that he was never fully present in his own body… it all traced back to the same root. Gut health touches every single part of who we are. This week, Ty is joining me on the podcast for a raw, vulnerable conversation about his journey. We’re diving deep into his past, and how for the first time in his life, he’s living medication-free and thriving. If you’ve ever wondered how your childhood exposures, gut health, or even your own microbiome might be influencing your mental health, your cravings, your hormones, or your child’s health… this episode is for you. Coming from a man who was very skeptical in the beginning, someone who questioned whether any of this could really heal our boys, let alone change his own life, his story is living proof that it absolutely can. P.S. This might be THE episode to sit down and listen to with your partner, especially if they are on the fence about all of this microbiome talk. 👇🏼 Thanks for listening! I would love to connect with you ♡

| What MTHFR Really Means for You and Your Child | 158 | 01 Jul 2025 | 00:20:20 | |
We’ve been taught to believe that our genes are fixed. That our health is this pre-written story that we just have to accept. But that’s not the full truth. Maybe you’ve been told you or your child have the MTHFR gene mutation. Maybe you’ve been suspecting it for a while, but no one’s given you real answers. Or maybe you’ve seen the signs… the skin rashes, the anxiety, the sensory struggles, the chronic fatigue… and you’ve been carrying that quiet fear that something deeper is going on. I want to tell you today… your genes are not your destiny. Up to 60% of the population has some form of the MTHFR mutation. It’s more common than most people realize. And while it can make detox, mood, energy, and overall health feel harder - it does not mean you or your child are broken. In this week’s Follow Your Gut Podcast episode, I’m breaking down everything you need to know about MTHFR… → What this gene actually does You have more control over your health than you’ve been taught to believe. Your genes are your blueprint… but you are the builder. I hope this episode reminds you just how much power you have to change your and your child’s story. Listen here. 👇🏼 Thanks for listening! I would love to connect with you ♡

| She Wasn’t Gaining Weight. Her Skin Was Raw. Now She’s Thriving! Sheridan and Her Baby’s Story | 157 | 24 Jun 2025 | 01:16:17 | |
When your baby isn’t gaining weight. When their skin is raw and bleeding and nothing you try is helping. When the doctors keep saying, “They’ll grow out of it,” but your gut is screaming, “something is wrong” - that is a kind of pain that most people don’t understand. But I do. And this weeks Follow Your Gut Podcast guest, Sheridan, does too. In this episode, I sit down with Sheridan, a first-time mom whose baby girl was covered in severe eczema, crying around the clock, refusing to eat, and losing weight. She did everything right. She went to the pediatrician over and over again. She tried every cream, every elimination diet, every piece of advice thrown her way. And nothing worked. Until she found ōNLē. Just ten days after starting the Gut Rebalance Kit, her daughter’s skin began to clear. She started gaining weight. She began making eye contact again. She started coming back to life and Sheridan could finally breathe. This episode is emotional, raw, and full of tears. It’s for the mama who’s in the thick of it. It’s for the family who’s been told to wait it out. It’s for the women who are ready to trust their intuition and finally find the healing they’ve been searching for. The healing you will hear about in this episode is from the Women’s and Children’s Gut Rebalance Kit and Body Biome Kit. I can’t wait for you to listen. I showed up to the conversation unprepared so make sure you have a box of tissues near by. Thanks for listening! I would love to connect with you ♡

| The Parasites Came Out of His Skin. Abi's Story of Trust and Healing | 156 | 17 Jun 2025 | 00:27:31 | |
Abi’s story stopped me in my tracks when she reached out and shared it with me. I had never heard someone healing quite like her son. He was covered in strange bumps, couldn’t sleep, and was the pickiest eater. She spent thousands of dollars on appointments and herbs from a naturopath, hoping something would finally work. But nothing brought true healing. She eventually couldn’t afford to keep working with this naturopath and that’s when she found ōNLē on Instagram. She immediately said yes to the Rebalance Kit before she even finished scrolling the page, and never looked back. What happened next is something every mama deserves to witness. Her son began to eat again. Sleep through the night. The rage and overwhelm she had quietly been carrying melted away. Parasites and candida literally began exiting both of their bodies - even through his skin. Yes. That’s how powerful healing can be when we let it be simple. When we stop second-guessing and start leading from trust. This episode is a raw, emotional look at what happens when a mama trusts her intuition and goes all in. Abi now mentors inside the Rebalancing Collective, our private support space for families walking this healing path and I couldn’t imagine a more beautiful leader to guide you. You don't want to miss this beautiful conversation! Thanks for listening! I would love to connect with you ♡

| It’s Not Just Eczema - It’s a Cry for Help | 155 | 10 Jun 2025 | 00:14:05 | |
I remember standing at the pharmacy, holding a prescription for steroid cream in my shaking hand. My baby was in his car seat at my feet, his tiny body curled under a blanket, with an oozing rash covering his whole body. He had those little cotton mittens on - the ones I used to keep him from scratching himself raw - but even through the fabric, he had clawed at his skin so badly that streaks of blood ran down his face. He was screaming. And I was sobbing into the phone with my husband. The pharmacist told me it was normal. That so many babies use steroid creams. That everything was fine. But everything in me knew it wasn’t. I didn’t know then what I know now but I knew there had to be a deeper reason for my baby’s rash. That day, I walked out of the pharmacy without the cream. Still crying. Still unsure. But I was done letting our system silence my son’s symptoms. That moment changed everything. In this episode, I’m sharing the full story - not just what happened that day, but the truth I’ve uncovered since. You’ll learn why eczema isn’t just a skin issue, what most doctors aren’t trained to see, and how real healing starts when we stop managing symptoms and finally get to the root. Whether you’re here for your child or yourself, this episode will help you see eczema in a completely different light. Thanks for listening! I would love to connect with you ♡

| This Is the Space I Needed When My Son Was Sick: Introducing the Rebalancing Collective | 154 | 03 Jun 2025 | 00:12:50 | |
I remember laying next to my restless son late at night, scrolling and searching for answers. We had already seen 17 different doctors. I was exhausted. I didn’t want more tests. I didn’t want another dismissal. I was looking for validation - something, anything, to hold onto. I wanted hope. I wanted to be seen. I wanted to feel like I wasn’t crazy for believing that my child could actually heal. But that space didn’t exist. So after years of sharing the healing that finally restored my son’s health, I’ve created it - for the woman I was then, and for the woman you are today. 🌿 The Rebalancing Collective is a private community space for women who are actively rebalancing with ōNLē. Whether you’re doing this for yourself or for your child, this is where you’ll find the daily support, clarity, and connection that makes healing sustainable. This episode is dedicated to teaching you everything you need to know about this space and to learn if it is a good fit for where you are on your healing journey. Thanks for listening! I would love to connect with you ♡

| Before You Decide on Wisdom Teeth, Fluoride, or Braces… Listen to This with Dr. Barry Gillespie | 170 | 25 Nov 2025 | 01:06:15 | |
Why is it so hard to find real guidance about wisdom teeth, fluoride, and braces for our families? When I first invited Dr. Barry Gillespie onto the podcast, I thought I was bringing on a traditional-turned-biological dentist. This is what I shared in my community The Rebalancing Collective, and what I shared on my instagram stories when I was gathering all the questions you wanted answered. But as soon as we began talking, I quickly realized I had misunderstood and what unfolded ended up being far more empowering than the conversation I originally imagined. What makes this conversation so powerful isn’t just Dr. Gillespie’s wisdom. It’s the honesty that only comes from someone who has lived inside the traditional system, followed the rules, believed in the model, and then had his entire perspective altered by real life. He’s here sharing his opinions after fifty years of seeing both sides… what dentistry teaches and what he now knows to be true about whole-body healing. And for me, that carries a different kind of weight. When I walked into my house after this interview, Ty and our kids asked me how it went, and the only words I could find were, “I feel like I just sat with one of those wise people you see in documentaries… someone who has actually lived the things he’s talking about.” His insight means so much to me, and I know to every single one of you listening, because we’re not here for symptom-masking or band-aids. We’re here for lived experience. And hearing from someone who has walked both sides and now chooses a different path is deeply grounding and profoundly empowering. You’ll hear his honest, unfiltered opinions on the things so many of us feel pressured into… wisdom teeth removal, fluoride, braces, root canals, and why, as he says, “you don’t want to go along with the herd.” He takes you out of fear and back into discernment. The conversation around wisdom teeth alone is going to shift how you think about dental timelines. We compare it to circumcision, how the culture tells us to do something simply because “that’s what everyone does,” instead of making decisions with intention and understanding. If you’re someone who’s ever sat in a dental chair or a doctor’s office wondering, “Is this really the only way?”... this episode is for you. It’s humbling, empowering, and filled with the kind of wisdom that helps you see your health in a whole new light. I can’t wait for you to meet Barry! Let’s get into it! Thanks for listening! I would love to connect with you ♡

You will learn how gut health, nutrient absorption, and inflammation affect milk supply and your baby’s symptoms. I will teach you about how rebalancing is not only beautiful while breastfeeding, but essential for healing both you and your baby from the inside out. If you are ready to understand the real story your body and your baby are telling you, and to step into a new level of independent health and trust in your healing journey, this conversation will show you the path forward.

| The Food Piece: Why it’s Important and How to Start Where You Are | 151 | 13 May 2025 | 00:16:17 | |
If the food side of your rebalance has ever felt overwhelming, this episode is for you. Today, we are having a real and honest conversation about why the food recommendations matter, how they support your healing, and why they should never hold you back from starting. Healing does not require perfection. It requires presence, courage, and a willingness to start exactly where you are. We will talk about the foods to avoid, the supportive foods you can lean into, how cravings shift as your microbiome heals, and how to navigate this journey with freedom instead of fear. Whether you are just thinking about rebalancing, are about to begin, or are deep in the middle of it, you will leave this episode feeling empowered to lead your healing journey in a way that is fully your own.

| The Healing That Happens When We Follow Our Gut: A Candid Conversation with Two Mamas Across the World | 146 | 08 Apr 2025 | 01:00:08 | |
In this deeply emotional episode, I’m joined by two incredible mamas from opposite sides of the world - Gayathri in Germany and Karen in Chicago - for a vulnerable, real conversation that so many of us need to hear. Gayathri’s son healed from severe food allergies and eczema after healing his gut with the Children's Gut Rebalance Kit.

So we brought them together for this beautiful, raw conversation. We talk about the fear, the doubt, the power of a mother’s intuition, and the deep healing that is possible when we stop outsourcing our children's health and start trusting ourselves.

| What Your Cravings Actually Mean | 169 | 18 Nov 2025 | 00:29:46 | |
We live in a culture that’s so obsessed with food and body image that most of us have learned to ignore our own hunger cues. We’ve been taught that control is strength, that shrinking is success, that discipline somehow equals worthiness. And for so many of us, especially as women, that conditioning runs really deep. There’s this constant pressure, both internal and external, to bounce back after pregnancy, to get it right, to do better. And underneath all of it is a quiet exhaustion that comes from trying to fight our bodies instead of learning to understand them. I know you’ve found yourself caught in that tug-of-war, thinking you “should be stronger.” I have too. It’s a constant teeter totter between convincing myself that I don’t care because I honor my sacred body so deeply, and then suddenly questioning, what am I even talking about, if I love my body this much, shouldn’t I want to feel good in it? I recently read that 75% of women will experience some form of eating disorder or body image struggle at some point in their lives. Seventy five percent. That means almost every woman you know has spent time believing she’s broken, when really, her body has just been trying to communicate. This isn’t an episode about body image, it’s about how we actually feel inside. I’ve gone through seasons where I didn’t trust my own hunger, where I tried to outsmart my cravings, where I told myself that if I just had more willpower, I’d finally feel good in my skin. But that never brought peace. What I’ve learned is that participating in this never ending pendulum of pressure only pulls us further away from what our bodies have been trying to tell us all along. Thanks for listening! I would love to connect with you ♡

| Histamine Reactions Are a Symptom. Here's Why Healing Starts in Your Gut | 142 | 11 Mar 2025 | 00:11:57 | |
Histamine is often misunderstood. It’s blamed for allergies, hives, and frustrating symptoms like flushing, itching, and congestion. But histamine itself isn’t the problem - it’s a symptom of a deeper issue. Your gut plays a crucial role in regulating histamine. It houses the bacteria that break it down and keep it in balance. But when the gut is imbalanced, harmful bacteria and yeast take over, inflammation rises, and histamine starts to build up faster than your body can clear it. The result? Chronic allergic responses, food sensitivities, headaches, and even more severe reactions. And here’s what most doctors won’t tell you - antihistamines don’t fix the root cause. While they can be life-saving in severe situations, they work by suppressing symptoms, not by addressing the underlying imbalance.

When silver was first introduced to me as a way to heal my son’s health issues, I was scared. A quick Google search overwhelmed me with warnings and horror stories about silver being unsafe. But desperation to heal my child pushed me to dig deeper. What I discovered not only transformed his health but also became the foundation for the healing work I share with ōNLē ORGANICS.

This week I'm introducing a brand-new format: Breakthrough Sessions. These episodes dive deep into personal journeys, unraveling the connections between health, trauma, and transformation to inspire healing in not only the guest but everyone who listens. At just 31 years old, Alisa was told she was in menopause – an unthinkable diagnosis for someone so young, newly married, and trying to start a family. This came after decades of chronic strep throat, endless rounds of antibiotics, and a cascade of health challenges that left her body depleted. Yet, not a single person ever paused to connect the dots. No one ever asked why. Alisa was left feeling like her body had failed her. In this episode, you will hear a pivotal conversation between the two of us where I asked her about the connection – the very first time she considered how her history of antibiotic use, her gut health, and her early menopause were all intertwined. Now, at 46, she’s walking a new path with her husband, JT, as they navigate IVF. This conversation is an emotional and eye-opening exploration of:
Alisa’s journey is a powerful reminder that healing is always possible, no matter where you are. If you are experiencing recurring infections, have needed multiple rounds of antibiotics, are going through early menopause or infertility or are considering IVF - this episode will leave you feeling seen, encouraged, and ready to take the next step toward healing. Thanks for listening! I would love to connect with you ♡

| Don’t Lose Yourself Trying to Get “There” | 168 | 11 Nov 2025 | 00:33:17 | |
When my son was unwell, I lost myself. I stopped sleeping. In the rare moments when he finally fell asleep, I sure as heck didn't sleep. I researched. Because I could feel him slipping further away from me and I was desperate to heal him. Somewhere along the way, I stopped breathing. I was holding my breath just trying to keep us all afloat. And I know so many of you are in this place right now... trying to heal your own body, or your child’s body, and it is all-consuming. It becomes the only thing you can see. You pour every ounce of yourself into the symptoms, into the protocols, into the fear. And somewhere along the way, you stop living. I want to share something with you that I didn’t understand back then... And if I could go back… I would do it differently. That’s what this week’s episode is about. I’m walking you through the raw, honest story of how we ended up living in a motorhome with no internet, how we nearly broke and then found each other again, how healing forced us to leave behind everything we thought we were supposed to be… so we could finally come home to ourselves. And I’m sharing what I wish someone had told me back then. It’s about how we live while we’re in it. Because healing isn’t the finish line. And if you hold your breath the whole way there just waiting for the perfect moment to finally feel peace, or presence, or joy? You will miss what it was all for. This might be the most powerful episode I’ve ever recorded. And I really believe it’s going to meet you right where you are. Thanks for listening! I would love to connect with you ♡

| Empowered Healing: The Course That Comes with Every Rebalance Kit | 127 | 03 Dec 2024 | 00:07:08 | |
Healing isn’t a quick fix. It’s a journey, and it can feel so isolating and overwhelming - especially when you’re trying to help your child heal. I know because I’ve been there, working through the endless nights of searching and hoping, visiting and investing in every kind of healthcare professional only to be faced with more questions than answers. When my son was struggling, I found myself in a place of such deep need, not only for practical guidance but for validation and reassurance - reassurance that he could heal, that his body was capable of restoring balance and that every twist and turn along the way was normal. But I didn’t have that. I didn’t have anyone to hold me, to help me believe that healing was possible, and to guide me with wisdom I could trust. That’s why I created my course and why I now gift you free access with every Rebalance Kit. To ensure you have everything you need in order to truly heal. Thanks for listening!

| Parasites and Gut Health: The Overlooked Connection | 126 | 26 Nov 2024 | 00:16:19 | |
Are you living with unwanted worms wriggling around inside of you and don’t even know it? In regions like Africa, Asia, and Latin America, traditional medicine often incorporates annual parasite cleanses as part of regular healthcare routines. These practices are deeply rooted in cultural beliefs and preventative health, acknowledging just how prevalent and detrimental parasites are. In countries like the U.S. and Canada, however, we rarely pause to consider parasites because we think we're "safe." Yet, the truth is, parasites don’t discriminate by borders. They are present in all corners of the world. In this episode we are diving into the hidden world of parasites - how we’re exposed every day, the surprising symptoms that could mean they’re affecting you, and why they thrive in an imbalanced gut.

| Your Poop is Trying to Tell You Something. Are You Listening? | 124 | 12 Nov 2024 | 00:09:00 | |
From the moment we’re born, most of us are conditioned to think of poop as something gross. Our parents wrinkle their noses, say “pee-yew,” and make faces as they change our diapers. It’s no surprise that culturally, we grow up viewing poop as something disgusting that we’d rather avoid talking about. But today, I want to help you shift this perspective. Your poop is an incredible window into your internal health. It provides important clues about how your gut is functioning, whether you're absorbing nutrients properly, and if there might be imbalances that need attention. The color, shape, smell, consistency and frequency - all matter. This episode is for anyone who has experienced diarrhea, constipation, or irregular bowel movements. Maybe you’re curious about what a healthy poop should look like or you want to better understand how your own or your child’s daily bathroom habits reflect your overall health. Because yes, your poop is trying to tell you something! Links from the episode: Thanks for listening! I would love to connect with you ♡

| The Gut/Brain Axis: Understanding How Gut Health Shapes Mood, Behavior, and Focus | 123 | 05 Nov 2024 | 00:15:34 | |
What if your child’s hyperactivity, behavioral issues, or even your own anxiety and brain fog aren’t what they seem? And what if there was a simple way to heal your body, so you didn’t have to wake up every single day ready to fight that same old uphill battle? In this episode, we are diving into the direct connection between your gut and your brain. About how your gut impacts your thoughts and brain function and how your brain impacts your gut. It’s called the gut-brain axis, and when your gut is out of balance, it can cause a whole range of issues - from your child’s developmental delays to your own struggles with focus, mood, and mental clarity. I’ve been there. I battled ADHD for years without realizing my gut was the root problem. Once I healed my gut, everything changed. I went from feeling chaotic and stressed to grounded, focused, and clear-minded. And I’ve seen the same transformation happen with my own kids, and now thousands of other families around the world. Tune in to learn how healing your gut could be the key to unlocking better health, peace of mind, and balance for your family. Thanks for listening! I would love to connect with you ♡

| When Everything Feels Like It’s Falling Apart | 167 | 04 Nov 2025 | 00:31:15 | |
I can’t quite express how happy I am to finally be back here with you! Everything behind the scenes feels a bit messy right now and honestly, that feels like the most honest way to begin. Because this? This is exactly what season five of The Follow Your Gut Podcast is all about. Real life. The raw, human, messy middle of being a woman and a mother in constant evolution. What’s unfolding behind the scenes has reminded me that we are never really in control of the timeline. Do you know those times when you’ve done everything “right”? Trusted every expert, followed every bit of advice… and somehow, things still feel messy? Maybe it’s your child’s healing journey. Maybe it’s your business, your body, or your life. You’re doing all the things and yet nothing is unfolding the way you planned. You start to wonder if you missed something. If God or the universe has somehow forgotten about you. You’ve poured your heart, your time, your hope into the process, and all you want is for things to finally get better. I know that place. When my son was finally healed, after years of sleepless nights, endless searching, and relentless fear - I made a promise to myself. I promised that I would never again let the fight to “figure it out” steal my presence from the moments right in front of me. Because I lost two and a half years of my son’s life to that fight. That grief has become my greatest teacher. It has shown me that control is an illusion - that we can do everything “right” and still be called to surrender. It taught me that our nervous systems don’t find safety in knowing what’s next, they find it in trusting that whatever comes, it’s exactly as it’s meant to be. So as we step into this new season together, my invitation to you is this: stop waiting to arrive. Stop waiting for the perfect moment when the house is calm, the symptoms are gone, or everything finally feels stable. Because this is the moment. Even if your baby is covered in an itchy rash. This is what this week’s episode is about: The Week Everything Fell Apart: Trusting the Timeline You Can’t Control. It’s a story about letting go when everything in you wants to fix, about finding alignment when nothing feels stable, and about realizing that sometimes, the mess is the path… the one that leads you exactly where you’re meant to be. Welcome to season five! Thanks for listening! I would love to connect with you ♡
