Gut health seems to be at the center of every health conversation, but it's also become one of the most misunderstood topics online. In this episode, I break down what the latest research actually tells us about the microbiome, why so many people feel worse when they start "eating healthy," and the biggest misconceptions I see in my functional nutrition practice. We'll talk about food sensitivities, restrictive diets, stool testing, the gut-brain connection, and the simple habits that make the biggest difference for long-term gut health.

In this episode, I'm joined by Dani Coleman, VP of Training at PVOLVE (and Jennifer Aniston's longtime trainer!) to separate fact from fiction when it comes to exercise.

Are fatigue, brain fog, and low energy really just signs of aging? In this episode, I explore emerging research on vitamin B12 deficiency, why absorption matters just as much as intake, and who may be at greater risk for low B12 levels. Then I revisit one of today's most talked-about supplements, creatine , and explain why it's gaining attention far beyond the fitness world. We'll discuss the evidence behind creatine's benefits for muscle, brain health, recovery, and healthy aging, along with practical tips for choosing a quality supplement and using it safely.

In this episode: In health news you can use, a new 2026 study reveals that simplifying your meals (by eating more consistent foods and maintaining steady calorie intake) may actually support greater weight loss. While variety isn’t inherently bad, reducing decision fatigue and creating structured routines around meals could make it easier to stay on track and see results. In veggies of the matter, we break down the difference between helpful acute inflammation and harmful chronic inflammation, and how the latter contributes to issues like fatigue, digestive problems, and long-term disease. You’ll learn how gut health, diet, lifestyle habits, and targeted supplements all play a role in reducing inflammation and supporting overall wellness.

This episode covers: A new study from Yale showing that parental stress may be a major, often overlooked driver of childhood obesity that's impacting parenting behaviors, children’s eating habits, and weight outcomes more than nutrition advice alone. In the veggies of the matter, we take a deep dive into what stress actually is (any demand requiring the body to adapt) and how cumulative “stress bucket” overload from emotional, physical, and environmental sources can lead to symptoms like hormone imbalances, digestive issues, fatigue, and blood sugar dysregulation. I also outline a few practical ways to manage stress by both reducing inputs and increasing resilience through sleep, nutrition, recovery, and lifestyle shifts.
