EP59. Ever feel like you’re doing everything right—eating healthy, working out, trying all the things—but you’re still bloated, exhausted, and feel stuck? It’s not in your head, and it’s NOT just about food. Your gut health, stress, and hormones are working behind the scenes, and if you don’t address them, the cycle continues.

- How your gut health controls your weight, cravings, and even anxiety
- The biggest mistakes women make when trying to “fix” their bloating
- Why elimination diets and food sensitivity tests might be doing more harm than good
- How to break the cycle of stress, inflammation, and frustration—for good
Brittany and I are breaking down real strategies to help you stop spinning your wheels, calm your nervous system, and finally feel energized, balanced, and confident in your body.

EP55. This episode is personal, raw, and honest. I’m sharing my story—the moment my life was split into a “before” and an “after.” It was August 31, 2013, when I laid in a hospital bed next to my husband and heard him take his last breath. He was healthy by all accounts—on paper, in the gym, and by the way he lived his life. But stress was silently working against him, and I didn’t know how deeply it was working against me, too.
I walked out of the hospital and straight into a life where I lived in nonstop fight-or-flight, trying to hold it all together for my boys while secretly dying inside. Maybe you’re there right now—juggling it all, overwhelmed, and wondering why your best efforts still leave you feeling less-than.
In this episode, I’m unpacking the four pillars of health that will take you out of fight-or-flight and into living at your best. These pillars are the foundation for managing stress, lowering inflammation, and stepping into the healthiest, happiest version of yourself.
If you’re ready for actionable tips and relatable stories that help you simplify health and start feeling better today, this episode is for you.

EP48. Have you ever felt like you're in what feels like an endless battle with your own body?
Stuck in a cycle of chasing Diets and wondering why your body is not responding the way you desire? Even worse, have you tried a diet that a friend had GREAT RESULTS with, only to leave you feeling less than.
You're not alone. I've been there, and so has my next guest, Jenn Trepeck.
In this episode, we dive into how you can truly join forces with your body. This isn’t just about food or exercise; it’s about transforming your mindset and reclaiming your health from the inside out.
Jenn grew up as the “skinny one” in a dieting-obsessed family, she knew how to count weight watchers points as a teenager. Maybe you did too?
She was stuck in what she calls a “weight management saga” for years. Instead of letting that narrative control her, she took charge of her story. After learning better nutrition practices herself, she started to make the shift from girl to empowerment and celebrating momentum over motivation.
Having over a decade of helping her clients to the same, Jenn is on a mission to help women help themselves. It's time to break free from the confining 'all or nothing' mindset, get a better understanding of the science behind your cravings, and learn how to get your body to work FOR YOU!

EP 43. In this episode I sit down with Dr. Courtney Chichilitti, a pharmacist turned functional medicine practitioner, to dive deep into gut health, cortisol management, and how to truly get to the root of your health issues. After over 20 years in the pharmacy world, Dr. Courtney made a massive career shift and retired from traditional medicine to focus on what really matters—helping people heal from the inside out.
We chat about the overwhelming stress, inflammation, and nervous system burnout that so many of us face, and how she discovered a better way to support her health. She opens up about her personal journey of being on birth control from a young age, dealing with endometriosis, and spending 16 years on antidepressants. Dr. Courtney shares the pivotal moment that led her to take control of her own health through holistic practices, focusing on the gut-brain connection, and getting off meds.
We also dive into the scary truth about the supplement industry and how most people don’t realize they’re taking low-quality products that don’t work. Dr. Courtney’s mission is to help people understand the power of probiotics, quality supplements, and real stress management that can actually help you heal.
Plus, we talk about the importance of becoming your own health advocate, listening to your body, and knowing when Western medicine isn’t the only answer. Dr. Courtney gets real about what it’s like to run through life with your hair on fire, and how she’s found her calm, happy place by prioritizing gut health, stress resilience, and truly nourishing her body.
If you’re ready to break free from prescriptions, constant exhaustion, and feeling like you’re not in control of your health, this episode is a must-listen!

EP35. Grief is weird and brutal; and can be suffocating. In this episode, I open up about the moment I became a widow and the hard moments that followed. I stuffed my dead husband’s ashes in a closet. True story.
I share some deeply personal experiences to encourage you to stop stuffing whatever it is you don’t want to face and recognize you are not alone. I’m being totally honest because I know now that it is critical to confront our feelings so you don’t spend years ‘faking fine.’
Cancer may have killed my husband, but faking fine almost killed me. My cortisol levels were out of control and I couldn’t figure out how to prioritize myself in the overwhelm of loss. What I’ve learned can help you survive challenges better than I did. What I share in this podcast will help you fight for YOU.

EP19. Learning about the impact the gut microbiome has on our overall happiness and stress resilience was a pivotal point in my journey from an overwhelmed and anxious widow to a thriving single mom. What Dr. Shawn Talbott shares in this episode will help you outline your own path to developing true stress resilience.
Our conversation is full of insight on how to naturally fortify the internal defenses that shape our responses to stress, leaving you with renewed peace and energy to face all of life’s challenges.
If you are thinking about anti-depressants, or have been on them for years, you'll want to hear what your doctor isn't sharing with you about SSRI's. I know the concerns all too well. One of my boys' health issues as a toddler led me to learn more about the intricate connections between leaky gut syndrome, mental health and impacts on behavior. Dr. Talbot and I unpack the gut’s far-reaching impact on our mind and body, and offer some dietary changes that can make a huge difference.
You don’t have to be a doctor to understand the science. Dr. Shawn breaks down the gut-brain axis in a simple way we can all understand!
Dr. Shawn's expertise gives him a front row seat to the future of mental wellness. Hear what he says about the growing role of probiotics, and the latest to hit the market: psychobiotics. Ooooh plus, I’ll give you the scoop on my everyday favorite mood-boosting mocktail!
From the depths of anxiety and overwhelm to living a thriving and fulfilled life, I hope the transformative strategies shared in this episode will elevate your mental state and help you show up for yourself better, because you’re worth it!

EP01. I have a problem with fine. When someone asks you how you are, and you reply with "I’m fine," what does that actually mean? "Fine" is a curtain we often hide behind to protect ourselves from living more authentically.
