| Ep. 90: When Diets Failed Her: The Minerals That Finally Supported Lindsay's Metabolism [HTMA Series Part 3] | 13 Nov 2025 | 00:36:58 | |
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? In this episode, Lindsay shares: Want to understand your own metabolism and mineral patterns? Join the waitlist so you are the first to know about our Black Friday Sale!

| Ep. 89: Fixing muscle cramps, stress and sleep--the mineral makeover my mom didn't expect [HTMA Series Part 2] | 06 Nov 2025 | 00:30:07 | |
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:
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. ✨ HTMA Black Friday Sale Waitlisters get first access when doors open.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the truth about Candida overgrowth and why diet or antifungals alone don’t solve the problem.

You’ve done the SIBO antibiotics. Maybe even two or three times.

You’ll learn: ✔️ Why killing bacteria isn’t enough—and what to do instead If these stories resonate, you’re not alone, and there is hope for healing.

| Ep. 76: How to make your gut not "SIBO friendly" & add foods back in without symptoms [SIBO mini series part 3] | 29 Jul 2025 | 00:36:56 | |
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 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.

When Lacey started losing handfuls of hair postpartum, she thought it had to be a hormone problem. Her labs were “normal,” her doctor told her to give it more time, and yet, she didn’t feel like herself. That’s when we ran an HTMA test (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) and found what was really going on beneath the surface: extreme mineral depletion from pregnancy, breastfeeding, stress, and lack of sleep. In this episode, you’ll hear:

What if the biggest thing holding you back from healing isn’t your diet, your labs, or your supplement routine, but your beliefs about what’s possible?

| Ep 56: Why you need mineral support even if you eat healthy | 14 Nov 2024 | 00:35:36 | |
In this episode of the Love Your Gut podcast, we dive deep into why minerals are essential for hormone balance, gut health, and overall wellness. I share my personal story of struggling with GI issues for over 20 years, feeling stuck, and why addressing mineral deficiencies was the missing link in my healing journey. Many people try endless diets, detoxes, and hormone supplements without real results, often because they’re overlooking underlying mineral imbalances. We’ll break down what minerals are, why our bodies don’t produce them, and why they’re foundational to health—even if you’re eating a “healthy” diet. We also cover common mineral deficiencies like low potassium, sodium imbalances, and high magnesium, plus how these can impact digestion, energy, and mood. I share a real-life case study of a client whose bloating and constipation only improved once she supported her minerals, along with the powerful changes she saw in her sleep and stress resilience. If you’re curious about your own mineral levels, this episode is a must-listen! Be sure to stay tuned for our once-a-year Black Friday HTMA sale to learn more about your mineral health and start making meaningful changes.
