Hi! I’m Katie Truscott-Howell, Nutritionist and behaviour change specialist. I’ve spent years studying the gut–brain axis, inflammation and what actually drives long-term healing... and I’ve also lived it for over a decade, navigating Crohn’s disease into remission. This podcast is less produced, more real. Honest reflections, practical insight and a deeper look at what’s really holding people back from healing.

EP3 — UltraHuman vs Oura Ring... the initial review! In this episode, I’m starting a real-time comparison between the UltraHuman Ring and the Oura Ring. I’ve used wearables for a long time, not because I think they should replace body awareness, but because the right data can help you understand patterns around sleep, recovery, stress, training, hormones and nervous system load. But the really important question is this: Does the data actually help you respond better or does it make you more obsessive? In this initial review, I talk through my first impressions of both rings, what I’m noticing already, how the data compares and which features feel genuinely useful for someone navigating gut health, training, chronic illness, stress and recovery. I also unpack the psychology of wearable data, because sometimes tracking can give you clarity, but other times it can pull you further away from trusting your body. This episode isn’t about which ring looks better on paper. It’s about whether the information helps you live, train, recover and regulate better in real life.

This week reminded me that emotional stress doesn’t just stay in your head... it shows up in the body. I'm talking about client wins but this episode is also about what was happening in my own body at the same time. Emotional stress. Dysregulation. Symptoms creeping in. Training feeling harder than it should. And the reminder that even when you know the tools, your body still needs you to listen. In this episode I talk through what it looked like when my nervous system felt overloaded, how emotional stress showed up physically and what I actually did to bring my body back towards baseline. I also cover: Why emotional stress is not - just in your head How dysregulation can affect digestion, energy, symptoms and training Why symptoms rarely come out of nowhere What regulation looks like in real life, not the polished version How awareness helps you respond before things spiral This is a diary style episode on the messy, honest side of healing... the part where you know what to do, but still have to practise doing it when life hits.

This episode marks a shift. After a year of building this podcast with Amanda, she’s stepping into a new chapter and it made me stop and ask what this space actually needs to be moving forward. The answer was simple. Less polished. More real. This episode is the start of turning this podcast into a diary... documenting what healing actually looks like behind the scenes. Not just gut health, but the nervous system, behaviour change, stress and the patterns that quietly build into flare-ups over time. I break down one of the most important things I’ve learned through psychology and working with clients - people don’t resist change because they’re lazy, they’re at different stages of readiness. And if you don’t understand that, you’ll keep trying to force change that isn’t going to stick. This is where we start looking at what’s really going on underneath the surface and how small shifts in awareness can completely change the trajectory of your health.

Can autoimmune disease really be reversed — or is lifelong symptom management the only option? In this episode of The Healing Chronicles , Amanda and Katie sits down with Casey Hibbard , journalist, founder of Rebuilding My Health , and author of Overcoming Autoimmunity , for a grounded and deeply human conversation about what’s actually possible when it comes to autoimmune healing. After facing rising autoimmune markers herself and being told there were no real answers beyond monitoring and management, Casey began asking different questions — not just how to manage symptoms, but why autoimmunity develops in the first place. That search led her through her own healing journey and into interviewing hundreds of people who’ve experienced remission or profound improvement by addressing root causes. Together, we explore what those recovery stories have in common and why healing often begins when people move beyond a diagnosis-first mindset and start looking at the body as a connected system. In this episode, we discuss: What autoimmunity really is and why it may be more dynamic than we’re told Whether autoimmune diseases can be reversed or put into remission Common root causes behind autoimmune conditions, including gut dysfunction, chronic inflammation, toxic load, and chronic stress The role of gut health and the nervous system in autoimmune healing How belief, identity, and safety can influence physical outcomes The difference between managing symptoms and reclaiming your life This episode isn’t about miracle cures or false hope. It’s about restoring agency, possibility, and a more complete understanding of healing especially for those who’ve been told “this is forever.” 🎧 Listen in and explore what might be possible for your body and your future. To connect with Casey and explore more autoimmune recovery stories, visit Rebuilding My Health or listen to her podcast, Rebuilding My Health Radio , where she continues to share real, hopeful stories of healing and remission.
What happens when you stop numbing, stop performing, and start telling the truth about who you are? In this episode of The Healing Chronicles , Amanda and Katie sit down with Samuel Gegen for a grounded conversation about identity, sobriety, and the internal shifts that change how we show up in our lives... not just our work. While Samuel is known for mentoring founders, the heart of his story is deeply human. He shares how choosing sobriety became a turning point that forced him to confront his beliefs, regulate his nervous system, and rebuild trust with himself from the inside out. Together, we explore what happens when you remove the coping mechanisms that once kept you functioning and how clarity, confidence, and capacity begin to return when your system finally feels safe enough to be honest. This episode is for anyone who feels like they’ve been surviving on autopilot and is ready to come back into themselves. In This Episode, We Explore: How identity shapes the way we experience confidence, safety, and self-trust Why sobriety can be a catalyst for deep personal and emotional healing The connection between overwhelm, coping strategies, and nervous system capacity What happens when you stop numbing and start feeling — without judgment How belief systems quietly shape the choices we make every day Why healing often begins with responsibility, not perfection Connect With Samuel: Instagram & YouTube: @samuelgegen Podcast: Million Dollar Seller
The holidays don’t have to derail your health — but they do require a different kind of support. In this episode of The Healing Chronicles , we’re talking about how to stay connected to your body, your energy, and your nervous system during one of the most disruptive times of the year. Because the problem isn’t holiday food or celebrations — it’s the loss of rhythm, safety, and regulation that so many of us experience this season. This is a gentle, realistic conversation about maintaining anchors instead of chasing perfection . In this episode, we cover: Why the holidays feel so hard on the body (especially if you live with chronic stress or illness) How blood sugar, sleep, and the nervous system get thrown off — and how to support them Simple daily anchors that help your body feel safe, even when routines change Why rest, boundaries, and nourishment matter more than discipline How to move through the holidays without needing to “start over” in January This episode is for anyone who wants to enjoy the season and care for their health, without restriction, guilt, or burnout. ✨ You don’t need to do more. ✨ You need to stay connected.

In this powerful and deeply compassionate conversation, we sit down with Dr. Tina Schermer Sellers — psychotherapist, researcher, and author of Sex, God, and the Conservative Church and Shameless Parenting — to explore how sexual shame, trauma, and cultural conditioning shape our relationship with our bodies, our health, and our capacity for connection . Together, we unpack how shame (often formed early and carried silently) can live in the nervous system, disrupt intimacy, and even contribute to chronic stress and illness. Dr. Tina shares how reclaiming pleasure, safety, and embodiment isn’t indulgent or taboo — it’s a pathway to wholeness . In this episode, we discuss: How sexual shame forms and why it’s so deeply embodied The link between trauma, the nervous system, and chronic illness Why pleasure is not frivolous, but actually healing How cultural and religious narratives disconnect us from our bodies What it means to heal sexuality gently, safely, and at your own pace Why reclaiming intimacy restores not just relationships, but self-trust This is an honest, expansive conversation for anyone who has ever felt disconnected from their body, struggled with shame around intimacy, or sensed that healing requires more than symptom management.

In this episode, I’m opening up about my own journey with colitis—how it began, what it took from me, and the unexpected ways it reshaped my life. For years, I let my diagnosis dictate what I believed I could and couldn’t do. I built a life around avoiding flare-ups, managing symptoms, and staying “safe.” But somewhere along the way, I realized I wasn’t just protecting my health... I was shrinking my world. In this deeply personal conversation, I share: The early signs I ignored and the turning point I couldn’t avoid What it felt like to lose pieces of my identity to illness Why chasing “remission” isn’t the same as healing The mindset shift that helped me stop living like a patient and start living like me again How rebuilding trust with my body became the foundation for everything else This isn’t just a story about colitis. It’s about breaking out of the limitations we place on ourselves when life doesn’t go to plan. If you’ve ever felt defined by your diagnosis, my hope is that this episode helps you see the possibilities that still exist, even when the path forward looks nothing like you imagined.
