Jill and Jenna
Listen to 27 episodes of SEASON 1 OF GUT TALK featuring sisters on a mission to help make gut health more ~digestible~ for the every day person. Through interviews and personal experiences, Jill and Jenna break down the importance of gut health, how to get started on your gut health journey and how to make sustainable, realistic changes.
Welcome back to Gut Talk!
We’re recapping our ACL weekend—what we loved, how we treated ourselves, and how we let loose. Honest reflections, fun moments, and a reminder that it’s okay to enjoy yourself while staying mindful.
Today we’re joined by Jade Brandt (@itsmejadeb) to talk about rebuilding life after heartbreak, dating in your 30s, and finding balance in a health + wellness world full of extremes.
Jade opens up about going viral on TikTok, creating the 75 Hotter Challenge, and why she’s honest about using weight loss meds in a space that loves to gatekeep. Plus: Big Ass Breakfast Salads, calling out the fear-mongering “crunchy” wellness crowd, and of course… Bravo gossip.

This week on Gut Talk, we’re opening up about the highs and lows of health, wellness, and everything in between. Jill shares her recent experience of leaving a gynecologist who never listened and finally finding one who did — a reminder that advocating for yourself in the doctor’s office is everything. We also dive into a TikTok questioning why wellness influencers always seem to be “fixing” something, and share our unfiltered thoughts on the nuance of living in a sick society while trying to feel our best. And because life is about balance, we wrap it all up with Jenna’s skin updates, reflections, and a passionate Dancing with the Stars recap.
What we cover:
- Jill’s experience switching gynecologists & finally being heard
- Advocating for yourself in the medical system

Welcome back to Gut Talk! If you're new here - hi, we’re so happy to have you.
In this episode, we’re back on the couch (literally!) recording together in person, catching up on life lately, what’s been on our minds, and the shifts we’re making both personally and with the pod. From corporate life and side hustles to confidence, dating, and vlogging, this episode feels like chatting with your girlfriends about everything that really matters.
We open up about the pressure women feel to put themselves in a box - to either be “serious” and respected or fun and carefree + why we’re refusing to choose just one.
We also dive into how building confidence changes everything: relationships, career, and how you see yourself.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re juggling multiple identities (career woman, health girlie, fun friend, confident dater) this one’s for you.

REPLAY FROM 11/13: In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Stacy Barczak Baker and dive into the often overlooked connections between hormones, insulin, and environmental factors like lighting and food. We discuss how everyday habits—like staring at screens, exposure to blue and artificial light, even the chemicals we use in our daily routines—and how they are silently contributing to chronic stress and hormone issues. Dr. Stacy shares simple lifestyle changes—such as getting sunlight early in the day, wearing yellow glasses, or using incandescent bulbs—and how these habits can drastically help reset your body's internal clock and support healthy hormone levels. We also discuss the increasing diagnosis of breast cancer and how we can adjust certain lifestyle habits to reduce our risk of certain types of breast cancer.
Episode Topics:* Why balancing insulin and hormones is critical for your health * The shocking effects of blue and artificial light on your cortisol levels * Simple, effective tips for protecting your hormones from environmental stressors * How food, light, and chemicals interact with your body in ways you may not expect * Daily practices to improve hormonal balancing * Breast cancer awareness: How to address hormonal imbalances to avoid cancer diagnosis * How we can be empowered when it comes to understanding how to prevent certain cancers, like breast cancer * much much more!

In this episode, we are sitting down for an honest, energizing conversation about what the past year of going through breakups and being single has looked like for both of us — and why it’s been one of the most transformative seasons of our lives.
We reflect on how being on our own has allowed us to reconnect with our intuition, raise our standards, and pour into our own energy like never before. This one’s all about celebrating the growth that happens when you're not in a relationship — and how that wholeness becomes the foundation for anything that comes next.
We chat about:
- Why being single can be the best thing ever for yourself
- How we’ve deepened our relationship with ourselves
- The routines, mindset shifts, and rituals that helped us heal
- Dating with higher standards
- The freedom, clarity, and confidence that came from being on our own
Whether you're newly single, long-term solo, or just craving a deeper connection with yourself — this episode will meet you where you’re at.

In this episode, we’re joined by the brilliant Dr. Tim Spector—Professor of Genetic Epidemiology, founder of the renowned TwinsUK study, and co-founder of the science-driven nutrition company ZOE. Known for his groundbreaking research featured in the Netflix documentary Hack Your Health and over 900 published studies, Dr. Spector dives into the fascinating science of the gut microbiome, why identical twins don’t respond the same to food, and how ZOE’s massive nutrition study (published in Nature Medicine) is transforming how we understand personalized health. We unpack the science behind fiber (why he eats 30 different plants a week), what improves or damages your microbiome, and how gut health ties directly to mood, sleep, and metabolic health. Dr. Spector also shares his thoughts on mental well-being, the real issue behind the rise of protein, and offers an early peek at the new Processed Food Risk Scale. If you’re looking to go beyond basic nutrition advice and get into the real science of food, microbes, and health, this is the episode for you.

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Max Dula, a Holistic Physician trained in Chiropractic Medicine, Functional Medicine, and Brain Retraining. Throughout this episode, we explore the root causes of gut issues, chronic illness, and inflammation, emphasizing that symptoms are messages from the body, not the problem itself. We dive into how addressing the root cause, rather than relying on supplements, is key to healing. A major focus is on the nervous system’s crucial role in gut health, including how stress and emotions impact digestive function. We discuss practical ways to calm the nervous system to support overall health. Tune in for insights on detoxification, constipation, and even histamine intolerance, all with a holistic approach to healing.

BABY WE ARE BACK! In this episode, we talk about the chaos of January, what our plans are to make GUT TALK better than ever, upcoming projects like Jenna’s launch of the 2nd round of TRACT (a 3 month program with her friend, Grayce) and the start of Jenna’s CN-P program. The main focus is Jill’s decision to mute every health influencer on social media due to the overwhelming and often contradictory health advice they spread. From claims that everything causes cancer to confusing messages about what's healthy, Jill discusses how this constant noise makes it hard to know what to trust. We explore the basics of staying healthy — sweating, lifting, eating real food, and focusing on what our bodies truly need. Plus, Jill shares her frustration with what she believes is wrong with health and wellness influencers. We wrap up with each of us sharing one thing we're doing this week to get our SH*T together!

This conversation stems from our first hand experience trying to follow the guidance of the fitness industry and ending up with gut issues, acne, hormonal imbalances, and more. From the low quality supplements to the nutrition choices and high volume of workouts, we are convinced that FIT does not equal HEALTHY.
You'll hear our answer in the episode as well as our thoughts on the industry, what we think is and isn't working for women, fitness companies that don't care about health, companies that we love, how to find balance while trying to create a movement routine, and so much more!
We get into the juiciness around minute 11 if you want to skip the intro!

This week, we're bringing you a bit of a different solo episode. While we pride ourselves on always being authentic, we feel like we have lacked our connection with our community the past year. While it's hard to admit that we've let ourselves down, it's important that we are honest with you all. We debated posting this episode, but after coming to the conclusion that the health and wellness space needs more authenticity, we felt it was necessary. We're hoping to share more of our struggles to show 1. Our human-ness and 2. Hopefully make you realize that you're not alone. Enjoy our most candid conversation we've had yet!

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT AT THE END OF THE EPISODE
It's important for us to stay completely transparent with our Gut Talk Fam, and therefore we are sharing that...we are SO off our routines right now. As self proclaimed "big routine gals," we want to come clean and share the truth. We'd be lying if we told you we have everything together, so we wanted to use this episode as a way of sharing our thoughts, feelings and opinions when it comes to routines. Like why we think they're important, the value they have when it comes to our productivity, how routines improve your health, why we feel like we are "off" our routine game right now and how we're moving through it.

Get ready to learn more about:
- Proper tongue placement in mouth to improve breathing in nose

Are you like us and tired of living a "medium" life?! We got inspired by a conversation we had on our couch: That we're sick of doing things half-ass, if you will, or not reaching our fullest potential with the things we want to achieve. This is especially when it comes to our skin, health, environment and other areas. We're using this candid conversation as a way of talking through HOW we are going to approach leveling up our lives (Spoiler alert: This isn't about working harder than you ever have before, rather doing the things that make you feel your best to become the happiest and healthiest version of yourself). This isn't a "pick apart your life" project, but rather a "how can I improve the things that I care about in order to live a really good life?"

Today's conversation was inspired by our last podcast episode about metabolic health. As we talked through this, we realized there was a large gap between facts and what our society thinks is "healthy" based on what we've been told through the media, marketing and the influence of our family/friends. What we've discovered is that no one is talking about health markers, so we are diving into it today. Get ready to join us in a candid conversation about:
- How marketing and the media has influenced us
- What we are told health looks like
- What it means to listen to your body
- Questions to ask yourself to determine how healthy you are
- Signs of a healthy body
- What is your metabolism (in digestible terms)
