Heal Your Gut Heal Your Life – Details, episodes & analysis

Welcome to Heal Your Gut. Heal Your Life, the podcast for women everywhere who are ready to take back their health and raise kids that thrive.

I’m so excited to share this brand-new podcast with you! Season 1 officially launches Wednesday, 10th September with Episode 1.

Here’s the truth: almost 1 in 2 kids and 1 in 2 women are struggling with chronic health issues like allergies, eczema, ADHD, anxiety, IBS, fatigue, autoimmune disease and more. Not because our bodies are broken… but because we’ve become disempowered in a cycle of symptom management instead of treating the root cause.

This podcast is here to change that.

I’m Sharon Selby, gut health mentor, Today Show guest expert, and mum of two boys. I’ve taught over 25,000 students through my courses, membership, and online classes how to restore gut health and change their family’s health. And now, I get to share it with you too. 

In Season 1, you’ll get 12 bite-sized solo episodes (around 20 minutes each) that build your knowledge step by step. 

You’ll learn simple, practical strategies to:

• Recover from common health issues like eczema, allergies, IBS, behavioural challenges, and anxiety by driving down inflammation in the gut
• Boost your energy, mental clarity, and immunity naturally
• Overcome overwhelm with clear, proven action steps you can apply right away at home

No fancy tests. No expensive supplements. No late-night Googling. Just me as your personal health coach in your pocket, helping you cut through the noise, understand gut health, and take powerful action for you and your kids.

I can’t wait for you to tune in. I hope you find it helpful, empowering, and life changing.

Make sure to hit follow now so you don’t miss Episode 1 dropping Wednesday morning, 10th September. (Plus, I’ve got special prizes for my founding first listeners!)

In this first episode, I share the wake-up call that turned my health around from severe depression, chronic fatigue and daily meds to thriving again, and why gut health was the missing piece. You’ll learn the two simple changes that transformed my life, how to overcome symptoms, and one small step you can take this week to start healing your gut. Because the truth is, gut health isn’t complicated, and when you heal your gut, you really can heal your life.

In this episode, I pull back the curtain on my own health journey, from chronic fatigue, severe depression, weekly migraines, asthma, hay fever, and daily medication to finally discovering the missing piece that changed everything: gut health.

And the surprising part? I stumbled into it by accident. At the time I had no clue about nutrition, I wasn’t a health coach and I didn’t know what I was doing or why. I was just desperate for change. But the results were life changing.

What I learned through this experience is that gut health isn’t complicated. You don’t need endless tests, supplements, or superfoods to see results. Once you understand the basics and apply simple strategies at home, everything begins to shift. Symptoms ease, energy returns, and life starts to open up again.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• The two simple changes I made that completely transformed my health within weeks.
• Why so many of us get stuck in a cycle of chasing symptoms instead of fixing the root cause.
• How one small change this week can set you on the path to healing your gut.

This podcast is here to empower you with simple, practical steps that actually work so you can reclaim your energy, restore your health, and raise kids who thrive.

Our kids are now predicted to live shorter lifespans than us. In this episode, I reveal the hidden link behind the rise in allergies, eczema, ADHD, anxiety and more and how understanding gut health can change that trajectory.

This episode may feel quite confronting… but it gives you the answers to your “why’s” and therefore solutions.

Nearly 1 in 2 children in the U.S. has at least one chronic health condition. Allergies, eczema, asthma, ADHD, anxiety, and even suicidal thoughts are skyrocketing. This isn’t genetics or bad luck. It’s a health crisis fuelled by treatments that focus on symptoms instead of addressing the root cause: inflammation in the gut.

In this episode of Heal Your Gut. Heal Your Life., I not only reveal the hidden gut connection behind these rising statistics, but I also break down what gut health really means. You’ll finally understand terms like gut microbiome, dysbiosis, and leaky gut in a way that makes sense and see how they directly connect to your child’s symptoms.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• What the gut microbiome is and why it’s central to your child’s health
• How gut dysbiosis and leaky gut drive inflammation, allergies, and mood issue
• Why the medical system’s “band-aid” solutions aren’t working
• The powerful truth most practitioners don’t mention: leaky gut can heal, balance can be restored, and symptoms can subside naturally

When you know better, you can do better. You’ll leave this episode with a clear understanding of gut health basics and the confidence to start making powerful changes at home that will support your gut microbiome. Because when your gut microbes thrive. You do too.

Everyday choices from food to stress to toxins are slowly fuelling inflammation in the gut. In this episode, I uncover the 6 biggest gut disruptors driving fatigue, anxiety, autoimmune conditions, hormonal imbalances, eczema, and more.

Today’s episode is all about what’s driving inflammation. Because to restore gut health and your vitality, you first need to understand what’s working against you.

I’ll walk you through the 6 biggest disruptors that inflame the gut, overload the immune system, and throw hormones and mood out of balance. From hidden dangers in the modern diet to toxins in our kitchens, personal care products, and even medications, these disruptors are everywhere.

Once you know them, you can start making powerful upgrades at home, and in this episode, I’ll also share the best replacements and simple swaps you can make straight away. All these micro steps add up to make a huge difference in your overall health, not just for you, but for your entire family.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How the SAD (standard American/Australian diet), including hidden food intolerances feeds bad bacteria and damages the gut lining causing inflammation
• The shocking ways toxins and heavy metals sneak into food, water, and daily products
• Why even over the counter medication can disrupt gut health and which ones
• The unmown stress and lifestyle habits that keep your body in “fight or flight”
• And the #1 most powerful factor in gut health (this one will surprise you)

By the end of this episode, you’ll be able to spot the gut disruptors in your own life and start making simple changes that reduce inflammation, restore balance, and put you back in control of your health.

What if the antibiotics your child took years ago are still affecting their health today? In this emotional episode, I share the hidden risks of antibiotic overuse, the mum guilt I still carry from my own son’s story, and the heartbreaking journey my mum went through. You’ll also learn five practical steps to repair the gut whether your child is currently taking antibiotics or it happened years ago.

Antibiotics are one of the most overprescribed and misunderstood medications in children’s health. In this episode of Heal Your Gut, Heal Your Life, I share two deeply personal stories: my son’s recurring ear infections that led to chronic health issues, and my mum’s devastating decline after years of repeated antibiotics.

These stories are hard to share, but they highlight a powerful truth: what feels like a harmless prescription or decision in the moment can have long-term consequences for our immunity, gut health, and overall wellbeing.

But the good news is this…it’s never too late to turn things around.
In this episode you’ll learn:

• The long-term risks of antibiotic overuse (including obesity, ADHD, asthma & food allergies).
• The 5 critical questions to ask your GP before agreeing to antibiotics.
• Why avoiding antibiotics (when safe) can actually strengthen your child’s immune system.
• The 5 recovery steps to restore gut health during and after antibiotics. These are the exact strategies I use with my own family and inside my Gut Health Course.

If you’ve ever felt the weight of mum guilt or regret from past decisions, this episode will remind you that you’re not stuck. The gut can heal, health can shift, and the future really canbe different for your child and yourself.

What if colic, reflux, eczema, or behavioural issues aren’t “just a phase,” but a sign of hidden food intolerances? In this episode, I share my son Cooper’s story and the exact steps I used to uncover his food triggers, heal his gut, and reverse all his symptoms.

When my son Cooper was a baby, he reacted to almost everything he ate. He was down to just 10 safe foods. His reflux, eczema, and allergies were overwhelming and so was the fear that nothing would change.

But everything shifted when I discovered how to identify his hidden food intolerances and restore his gut health. By 18 months, he was symptom-free and today, he eats everything (without reacting).

This episode is for every mum who feels stuck, overwhelmed, and out of options. You’ll discover the exact process I used, the same HEAL™ framework I now teach inside my Gut Health Course so you can help your child too.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The surprising early signs of food intolerances in babies, kids, and adults

• Why standard allergy tests often miss food intolerances (driving symptoms)

• How to identify which foods are causing reactions (the key to getting relief)

• The best order to eliminate foods (without confusion or overwhelm)

• The critical gut-healing step most elimination diets miss

• How to safely reintroduce foods with the best chance of success

What if the very foods you think are relatively “healthy” are actually fuelling your symptoms? In this episode, I reveal the top 3 foods that consistently driving fatigue, anxiety, autoimmune flares, thyroid issues, hormonal imbalances, and more.

For years, I thought I was doing all the right things; eating well, exercising, trying to stay healthy. But I was still exhausted. Still inflamed. Still stuck in a cycle of migraines, depression, and autoimmune flares.

The missing link? Food triggers hiding in plain sight.Not allergies. Not something you’ll see on a blood test. But foods that quietly inflame the gut, overload the immune system, and create a ripple effect of symptoms in both adults and kids. In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The shocking stat that 9 in 10 people have food sensitivities and most don’t even realise it

• Why test results can come back “normal” while food is still driving symptoms

• The 3 top foods most likely to trigger fatigue, eczema, asthma, ADHD, anxiety, gut issues and more

• Simple swaps and delicious alternatives to start crowding out the culprits without feeling deprived

• How removing just one food for 2 weeks can spark a massive health breakthrough

This episode has the power to change everything you thought you knew about “healthy eating.” Because once you see the connection between food and symptoms, you’ll never look at your pantry the same way again.

If your child’s eczema won’t heal no matter how many creams, diets or doctors you’ve tried, this episode will give you the answers you’ve been searching for. I share two powerful, natural eczema treatment paths that helped my family recover. One focuses on gut health and food triggers, the other on viral and liver healing developed by the MedicalMedium. Discover what eczema really is, why creams alone can’t fix it, and how to restore your child’s skin and heal.

If you’re exhausted running on empty, up through the night, comforting your child while they’re scratching until their skin bleeds, wondering why nothing seems to work, my heart goes outto you. I remember those nights with my own son: the tears, the guilt, the endless questioning, and the quiet fear that things might never change.

But they did. And in this episode, I’m sharing the two healing paths that finally brought freedom from eczema to my family, after years of flare-ups, sleepless nights, and frustration.

The first path focuses on gut healing - identifying food triggers, repairing the gut lining, and reducing inflammationnaturally through nourishing, allergy-friendly meals. The second takes a deeper dive into the viral and liver connection popularised by the Medical Medium, which revealed the hidden role of viruses and toxins in chronic skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.

You’ll discover what eczema really is (and isn’t), why steroidscreams can’t fix it, and how healing the body from the‘inside out creates’ lasting results on the skin. I’ll walk you through the simple, practical steps that turned our family’s health around, steps that you can start using right now to calm flare-ups, restore your child’s confidence, and bring peace back to your home.

Because once you understand the root causes of eczema like gut imbalances, food sensitivities, liver overload, and viral triggers, you finally have the power to heal and recover.

• Why eczema is more than a skin condition and what it’s really trying to tell you
• The two powerful healing paths: gut repair vs liver-based viral detox
• How to uncover food triggers like dairy, gluten, soy, eggs, salicylates & amines
• The hidden role of viruses (like EBV) and toxins in chronic flare-ups
• The truth about steroid creams and what happens when you stop using them
• How to use food, supplements, and low-tox living to support deep healing
• Real stories from my family’s recovery to inspire your own

No matter how long you’ve been struggling with eczema, there is always a path forward. The body knows how toheal, it just needs the right support.

What started as a simple infection turned into the biggest heartbreak of my life. In this deeply personal episode, I share my mum’s story, how a common UTI treatment spiralled into years of antibiotic damage, health decline, and heartbreak.

But this isn’t a story about despair, it’s about purpose behind thepain. After my mums story went viral on Instagram and reached over 1 million views, thousands of families reached out with similar experiences, and it changed everything I thought I knew about health, immunity, and healing.

I’ll walk you through what I’ve learned, why some infections keep coming back, how antibiotics can impact your gut, hormones, and mood, and the gentle, natural ways to rebuild your body’s resilience and restore true health.

If you’ve ever felt helpless watching someone you love suffer… this episode is for you. Because even in the hardest moments, there’s always hope and healing is closer than you think.
