Ep. 90: When Diets Failed Her: The Minerals That Finally Supported Lindsay's Metabolism [HTMA Series Part 3]
jeudi 13 novembre 2025 • Duration 36:58
Weight Loss Resistance, Stress, and the Mineral Patterns Behind a “Stuck” Metabolism
Today’s episode features an incredibly relatable story from Lindsay, a marriage and family therapist, military wife, mom of two, and someone who felt like she was doing everything “right”: eating well, following the plan, exercising, pushing herself… and still gaining weight, feeling exhausted, and being told her labs were “normal.”
After pregnancy and years of intense stress, deployments, and living abroad, her body felt completely out of control. Doctors offered restrictive diets, a thousand-calorie meal plan, and no real answers. Even after following those recommendations perfectly, nothing changed.
What did change?
Seeing her HTMA results and finally understanding why her metabolism was struggling and what her body needed to feel safe enough to start healing.
In this episode, Lindsay shares:
• What weight loss resistance felt like when nothing worked
• How chronic stress, postpartum depletion, and metabolism are deeply connected
• Why “normal labs” don’t tell the full story
• The moment she realized she wasn’t crazy and that she was actually depleted
• The difference mineral repletion made in her energy, digestion, mood, and confidence
• How improving her health shifted her marriage, parenting, and work life
• How she maintained her progress months later

Ep. 89: Fixing muscle cramps, stress and sleep--the mineral makeover my mom didn't expect [HTMA Series Part 2]
jeudi 6 novembre 2025 • Duration 30:07
In today’s episode, I’m joined by my mom, aka the one and only Queen Alice, to share her hilarious (and kind of wild) story about how supporting her minerals completely changed her health.
For years, she struggled with intense leg cramps, we’re talking full-body, middle-of-the-night, can’t-move kind of cramps. Doctors told her to drink more water, stretch, or just “deal with it.” But nothing worked… until we ran an HTMA test and discovered the real root cause: mineral depletion from years of stress.
You’ll hear:
- The moment we both realized something had to change (it involved an “exorcism-level” leg cramp)
- How stress, dehydration, and even margaritas were making things worse
- Why her magnesium was high but still not working and what that actually means
- The surprising benefits she noticed after balancing her minerals (better sleep, calmer moods, no more cramps!)
- How she titrated her custom mineral blend after her body said “uh, too fast!”
- Some sweet and slightly emotional memories about my journey as a shy child who is now an entrepreneur
If you’ve ever dealt with leg cramps, restless sleep, anxiety, or constant dehydration no matter how much water you drink this episode will help you connect the dots and see how simple mineral support can change everything.

Ep.80: The Missing Piece(s) in Gut Healing (That No One Talks About)
jeudi 4 septembre 2025 • Duration 19:52
Have you tried all the gut-healing protocols, supplements, and diets, but you’re still constipated, bloated, or exhausted? You’re not alone, and the reason you’re stuck may not be what you think.
In this episode of the Love Your Gut podcast, I’m sharing the overlooked foundations that can make or break your gut healing journey. These aren’t the flashy, “quick-fix” solutions you see all over social media, but they’re the simple, powerful pieces that actually help your gut recover.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- Why eating the same 5–10 foods can cause dysbiosis, leaky gut, and food reactions.
- How mineral depletion keeps you stuck in a cycle of low energy, hormone imbalances, and poor motility.
- Why low stomach acid, enzyme output, and bile flow can trigger infections like H. pylori and recurrent SIBO.
- The connection between nervous system dysregulation and low secretory IgA, reflux, and constipation.
- Practical steps you can start using today to finally support your gut the way it needs.
If you’ve been “doing everything right” and not feeling better, one of these missing pieces may be the reason.

Ep. 79: The Truth About Candida: Why Diets and Antifungals Alone Don’t Work
vendredi 29 août 2025 • Duration 21:34
Have you ever tried a “Candida diet” or an antifungal supplement only to find yourself right back where you started? You’re not alone.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the truth about Candida overgrowth and why diet or antifungals alone don’t solve the problem. Candida isn’t something you can just starve or kill into submission, the real key is fixing the terrain that allowed it to grow in the first place.
In this episode I cover:
- Why Candida is part of a normal gut microbiome (and when it becomes a problem)
- Myths that keep people stuck like “starving Candida” with diet or relying on antifungals
- The real root causes of Candida overgrowth, including blood sugar imbalances and depleted commensals
- Why Candida is so hard to detect on stool testing and other testing options
- Practical strategies to support digestion, motility, and minerals so Candida doesn’t keep coming back
Whether you’ve struggled with Candida symptoms for years or you’re a practitioner supporting clients, this episode will help you shift from the endless Candida-killing cycle to building a resilient gut terrain.

Ep. 78: Real SIBO Recovery Stories (And What They Had in Common) [SIBO mini series part 4]
mercredi 20 août 2025 • Duration 24:12
You’ve done the SIBO antibiotics. Maybe even two or three times.
But you’re still bloated, still stuck on five “safe” foods, and wondering…
“Why isn’t this working?”
In the final episode of this SIBO mini-series, Dr. Heather shares 3 real client stories that show that SIBO recovery is not one-size-fits-all. Each client had the same diagnosis on paper, but needed a completely different plan to actually feel better.
If you’ve been told “you’re fine” despite ongoing symptoms, or you’re burnt out from restrictive protocols that go nowhere, this episode is your reminder: there’s a better way.
You’ll learn:
✔️ Why killing bacteria isn’t enough—and what to do instead
✔️ How mineral depletion, bile flow, and scar tissue can stall healing
✔️ What true gut repair looks like after a SIBO protocol
✔️ The difference between managing symptoms and rebuilding resilience
✔️ Why your recovery plan should start with you, not the diagnosis
If these stories resonate, you’re not alone, and there is hope for healing.

Ep. 77: Hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto’s, and the Gut–Thyroid Connection with Dr. Eric Osansky
mardi 12 août 2025 • Duration 43:37
If you’ve ever been told your only options for a thyroid condition are medication, surgery, radioactive iodine, or a restrictive diet… this conversation will open your eyes to what’s possible when you focus on root causes.
I’m joined by Dr. Eric Osansky, a chiropractor, clinical nutritionist, and certified functional medicine practitioner who reversed his own Graves disease naturally and has been helping clients do the same since 2009. We’re sharing both sides of the thyroid spectrum: Dr. Eric’s journey with hyperthyroidism and my own with Hashimoto’s, plus the powerful gut–thyroid connection that changed everything for us.
You’ll hear:
- Why gut health is central to thyroid autoimmunity
- The most common gut-related triggers for hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism
- How herbs like bugleweed and motherwort can support hyperthyroid symptoms
- The role of stress, adrenal health, and lifestyle foundations in recovery
- How functional testing (like stool testing, adrenal testing, and HTMA) can uncover the real drivers of your symptoms

Ep. 76: How to make your gut not "SIBO friendly" & add foods back in without symptoms [SIBO mini series part 3]
mardi 29 juillet 2025 • Duration 36:56
You finished your SIBO treatment, so why are you still bloated, reactive, and stuck eating five foods?
In this episode of Love Your Gut, Dr. Heather shares what no one talks about after the “kill phase” of SIBO recovery ends. If you’ve tried antibiotics or antimicrobials, followed a low-FODMAP diet, and still don’t feel like yourself, it’s not because you failed. It’s because true healing happens in Phase 2: the rebuilding phase.
You’ll learn how to make your gut resilient again through food, lifestyle, digestion support, and terrain repair.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why symptoms often return post-SIBO treatment (and why that’s not a failure)
- How to repair your gut lining to reduce food reactivity
- Step-by-step guidance for reintroducing foods safely and strategically
- The truth about North-to-South digestion and what it means for motility
- How simple lifestyle shifts like sunlight, walking, and breathwork change the gut terrain
- The difference between healing and just treating

Ep 74: What SIBO Really Is (And Why the Standard Approach Falls Short) [SIBO mini series part 1]
mardi 15 juillet 2025 • Duration 32:08
If you’ve been handed another round of antibiotics or told to follow a strict diet for SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), yet you’re still bloated, constipated, and frustrated, this episode is for you.
In this kickoff to our SIBO mini-series, Dr. Heather shares what SIBO actually is (hint: it’s not just bacteria in the wrong place), why the standard “kill and restrict” approach doesn’t lead to lasting relief, and what really needs to happen for sustainable recovery. You’ll also hear the story of a client who treated SIBO four times without success, until she finally addressed the deeper imbalances behind it.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why SIBO is a symptom, not a root cause
- The difference between hydrogen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide SIBO
- Why antibiotics and restrictive diets often fail long-term
- The role of motility, minerals, and your nervous system in healing
- What truly needs to be restored for your gut to function again
