EP59. Ever feel like you’re doing everything right—eating healthy, working out, trying all the things—but you’re still bloated, exhausted, and feel stuck? It’s not in your head, and it’s NOT just about food. Your gut health, stress, and hormones are working behind the scenes, and if you don’t address them, the cycle continues.

In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Brittany Carpenter, a registered dietitian and functional health expert, to unpack:
- Why traditional diets don’t work (and actually raise your stress hormones)
- How your gut health controls your weight, cravings, and even anxiety
- The biggest mistakes women make when trying to “fix” their bloating
- Why elimination diets and food sensitivity tests might be doing more harm than good
- How to break the cycle of stress, inflammation, and frustration—for good

Brittany and I are breaking down real strategies to help you stop spinning your wheels, calm your nervous system, and finally feel energized, balanced, and confident in your body.
