Here’s what to expect from this episode:

Ever feel like you’re doing all the “right” things for your health but still stuck with brain fog, weird bloating or energy that’s seriously MIA? SAME. In this episode, I’m spilling all the tea on my own gut health journey including what it’s actually like to take a GI Map test. I get real about the stuff your regular doctor’s gut tests miss and how finally diving deeper gave me some major aha moments, like finally understanding why I was so tired, even while getting decent sleep and doing everything “right.”

And since I’m not about half-answers, I brought on Jillian Smith, a functional registered dietitian and my personal gut expert, who interpreted my results and totally changed my approach to healing. We’re breaking down exactly what the GI Map looks for and walking through my personal results. I’ll let you in on why cutting this ONE thing from my diet cleared my brain in days, what to do after antibiotics or a C-section and how the right supplements backed by data, not influencer hype, made all the difference. 

Here’s the best part… we go step-by-step through what my custom protocol looked like. From foods, lifestyle tweaks and supplements that actually made a difference (plus how you can figure out the right stuff for you, not just what worked for me). If you’ve ever wondered if you should get gut testing done or you’re curious about what’s possible if you stop guessing and start looking at real data, this is your sign. 

Curious what my test revealed, why a personalized approach matters so much and what a functional protocol could do for you? Hit play, I promise you’ll walk away with answers (or at least know what to do next)!
