The Gut Reset Mini Series, Ep 1: Why Gut Health Affects Everything
Fri Feb 06 2026
This episode kicks off the Gut Reset Mini Series — a 4-part deep dive into the foundations of gut health and how true gut repair works.
In this first episode, I'm walking you through how your gut influences nearly every system in your body and the most common root causes of gut imbalance I see clinically. Women often come to me with symptoms that feel "random" (things like acne, fatigue, PMS, anxiety, hormone imbalances, fertility struggles) and don't realize their gut is at the center of it all. Gut health has become one of the most talked-about topics in the wellness space, and also one of the most confusing. You'll hear people telling you to cut foods, add probiotics, do parasite cleanses, or follow generic gut protocols, but very rarely is anyone explaining why, who it's for, or how to personalize any of it. If you've ever felt like something is off in your gut, this episode will give you a framework for understanding what might be going on and where to start.
