This episode is for every woman who’s ever walked out of a doctor’s office feeling dismissed, overwhelmed, or more confused than when she went in. Jennifer Nelson-Hawks joins me to unpack:

* How your lymphatic system is like your body’s sewer system (and how to actually get it flowing)

* The truth about hydration and why just drinking water isn’t enough

* Gut health: why it’s called your second brain and what it’s really trying to tell you

* How to know when your doctor isn’t really on your side, and how to get honest answers

This isn’t about giving you another to-do list. It’s about learning how to trust your body, ask better questions, and finally feel like you’re in the driver’s seat of your health again.

My eight-year-old Doberman, Coconut, was strong, active, and training with me for Patagonia until one day she collapsed in pain at the dog park. We were told she had Wobblers Syndrome, and we spent months doing everything possible to support her... only to find out the diagnosis was wrong.

Think you're iron deficient? You might be… but not for the reasons you think. In this replay episode, I sit down with Functional Nutritionist Michael, who breaks down what your iron markers really mean. We talk through the common missteps in diagnosing iron deficiency, the role of copper, vitamin A, and adrenal function, and when hormone imbalances are actually the root cause of your fatigue.

Plus, we unpack when organ supplements help, when they don’t, and how to dig deeper if your labs look normal but you still feel off.
