    19. Microbiome Testing Explained: What It Is, Why It’s Used & What It Can Actually Tell You

    Free offerings to get you started - FREE bloating masterclass ⁠here⁠ Work with me  Book a 1:1 consult⁠ ⁠with this link⁠⁠ Sign up to the gut compass ⁠here⁠ Microbiome testing has become one of the most talked-about tools in gut health - but it’s also one of the most misunderstood. In this episode of With Blu, I’m breaking down what microbiome testing actually is, why practitioners use it, and - just as importantly - what it can’t tell you. This isn’t about finding “bad bugs” or chasing perfect results. It’s about understanding patterns inside your gut ecosystem so your next steps are informed, strategic, and supportive - not reactive. In this episode we’ll unpack: What stool-based microbiome testing actually measures The difference between who’s there vs what they’re doing Why microbiome testing is not the same as standard pathology How practitioners use results to guide strategy What microbiome testing can - and can’t - tell you about your gut I created With Blu because I know firsthand how frustrating gut and skin issues can be- and I also know that quick fixes don’t work. As a Bachelor-qualified Naturopath, I’ve helped hundreds of women heal their gut, clear their skin, and finally feel their best by addressing the root causes, not just the symptoms.

    18. Everything You Need to Know About Your Thyroid (Why It’s Central to Gut Health, Hormones & Energy)

    If you’ve ever been told your thyroid labs are “normal” - but you’re still bloated, exhausted, foggy, or struggling with your weight, cycle, or mood - this episode is for you. In this episode of With Blu, I’m breaking down everything you need to know about your thyroid without overwhelm, fear, or medical jargon - and explaining why thyroid regulation sits at the centre of gut health, hormones, metabolism, and energy. This is about understanding thyroid function, not just thyroid disease - and why so many women feel dismissed, stuck, or confused long before anything shows up on paper. In this episode we’ll unpack: Why thyroid dysfunction is underdiagnosed in women The difference between thyroid disease vs thyroid dysfunction Why symptoms can exist years before labs change Common early signs women often normalise, including: Bloating, constipation, and slow digestion Fatigue despite “good” sleep Cold hands and feet Hair thinning, acne, and dry skin Brain fog, low motivation, and mood changes You don’t need a diagnosis to have a dysregulated thyroid - and this episode explains why. I created With Blu because I know firsthand how frustrating gut and skin issues can be- and I also know that quick fixes don’t work. As a Bachelor-qualified Naturopath, I’ve helped hundreds of women heal their gut, clear their skin, and finally feel their best by addressing the root causes, not just the symptoms.

    17. Building a Morning Routine That Actually Supports Your Health

    If the idea of a “perfect” morning routine makes you feel behind before the day has even started - this episode is for you. In this episode, Briana breaks down why supportive mornings aren’t about waking up earlier, doing more, or following someone else’s rigid routine. Instead, she shares a realistic, evidence-based framework to help you start your day feeling calmer, more regulated, and better supported - even on busy mornings. You’ll learn how to build a routine that works with your nervous system, digestion, and energy levels, rather than against them. No pressure. No perfection. Just simple foundations that make mornings feel less chaotic and more nourishing. In this episode we'll unpack: Why your body isn’t designed to wake up straight into stress How rushed mornings can impact digestion, blood sugar, inflammation, mood, and energy What a supportive morning routine isn’t (and why consistency doesn’t mean daily) The three core foundations of a health-supportive morning routine: Nervous system regulation Blood sugar stability Movement Simple, realistic ways to support your body in as little as 2–5 minutes How to build a routine that fits your real life - not an idealised version Why trust and consistency matter more than perfection I created With Blu because I know firsthand how frustrating gut and skin issues can be- and I also know that quick fixes don’t work.

    16. How to Actually Achieve Your Health Goals in 2026: Without burning out, over-supplementing, or blaming yourself

    If you’ve ever set health goals with genuine motivation - only to feel like they quietly disappeared by February - this episode is for you. In this episode of With Blu, Briana breaks down why most health goals don’t stick, and why it’s not a discipline problem - it’s a strategy problem. You’ll learn how to set health goals that actually survive real life, support your nervous system, and feel sustainable through every season – not just January. This is a grounded, no-pressure conversation about consistency, habits, regulation, and building a health plan your body can trust - all the way through 2026. Why most health goals fail (even when motivation is high) The difference between willpower and sustainable habits How to honestly assess where your health is right now — without judgment Why consistency does not mean doing something every day How to set SMART goals that are flexible, human, and supportive What’s actually in your control — and where you need buffers instead How nervous system regulation underpins long-term health success I created With Blu because I know firsthand how frustrating gut and skin issues can be- and I also know that quick fixes don’t work.

    15. Why ‘IBS’ Is a Cop-Out: How to Heal and Eat Onion & Garlic Again

    If you’ve ever been told “It’s just IBS” and sent on your way with no answers, no plan, and a long list of foods to avoid… you’re not alone. IBS is not a real explanation - it’s a label for symptoms, not a reason for them. And the good news? When you understand what’s actually driving your bloating, pain, or food reactivity, you can rebuild tolerance and enjoy foods like onion and garlic again. In this episode, Briana, Bachelor-qualified Naturopath and gut health practitioner, explains why IBS is often a dismissal rather than a diagnosis, what’s really happening under the surface, and the exact areas to investigate so you can heal properly - without restriction. FREE access to the bloating masterclass here ROME IV diagnostic criteria for IBS here In this episode we’ll unpack: Why “IBS” doesn’t tell you anything - and why you deserve more than a label. The real root causes behind food sensitivity (including onion, garlic, and high-FODMAP foods). How issues like SIBO, low stomach acid, dysbiosis, constipation, stress physiology, and inflammation can all present as “IBS.” What happens in the gut when FODMAPs trigger symptoms - and why eliminating them long-term can make things worse. The step-by-step approach to rebuilding tolerance so you can expand your diet safely and confidently. Why nervous system regulation is just as important as treatment when healing reactivity and restoring gut-brain communication. When to go deeper with testing, tailored protocols, or personalised support through Gut Compass or 1:1 consults.

    14. Going Into the Silly Season Gut-Health Ready

    FREE access to the bloating masterclass⁠ here⁠ Sign up to the gut compass ⁠here⁠ The end of the year is fun… until your gut decides it has other plans. Between social events, travel, foods you don’t normally eat, disrupted routines, and a little more stress than usual, it’s completely normal for symptoms to flare - but that doesn’t mean you’re powerless. In this episode, Briana, Bachelor-qualified Naturopath, shares exactly why gut symptoms tend to peak this time of year and how to calmly navigate it with a personalised toolkit that actually works for you. No restriction. No fear. No starting over in January. Why gut flares are so common in the silly season - from overeating to under-eating, alcohol, ongoing stress, late nights, and more disruptions than your gut likes. Increased anxiety around food and body image this time of year - why it’s valid and how to support your nervous system so digestion doesn’t spiral. How to understand your symptoms: identifying your personal triggers without labelling foods as “good” or “bad.” How to build your silly-season gut toolkit: simple, realistic strategies you can use before, during, and after events to keep symptoms calm. What to do if things still flare (because you’re human!) and why compassion, flexibility, and early support matter more than control.

    13. Are You Bloated or Is It Something More? How to Decode What Your Gut Is Telling You

    If body image is a triggering topic for you, skip to 03.45 When your lower belly feels constantly puffy or tight, it’s easy to assume something is “wrong” with you or that you just need to be more disciplined. But your lower tummy literally houses your uterus and bowel – it’s not designed to be flat 24/7. In this episode, Briana, Bachelor-qualified Naturopath and gut health practitioner, breaks down what’s actually normal when it comes to bloating, what’s not, and how to start mapping your symptoms so you can stop guessing. We’ll chat about body image, the role of your cycle, how to track your bloating patterns, and what you can do next if it’s starting to take over your life. FREE access to the bloating masterclass here Sign up to the gut compass here In this episode we’ll unpack: What’s normal vs not normal bloating - including meal-related fullness, cycle-related changes, and the red flags that deserve further investigation. Why your lower belly is not meant to be flat all month long - how your uterus, hormones, bowel movements and fluid shifts naturally change your shape. Body image and bloating: how chasing a constantly flat stomach can keep you stuck in shame, restriction, and second-guessing every food choice. How to map your bloating: simple ways to track timing, triggers, your cycle, bowel motions and other symptoms so your gut story actually makes sense. What to do with that information - from gentle nutrition tweaks and nervous system support through to when it’s worth booking a consult, testing, or joining my FREE Bloating Masterclass for a deeper dive.
