    22. Why Fat Is Essential for Your Gut, Skin & Hormones (And Why Avoiding It Backfires)

    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 If your skin is dry or breaking out, your hormones feel chaotic, and your digestion is unpredictable - and you’re still avoiding fat - we need to talk. In this episode, we unpack why dietary fat became so confusing in wellness culture, what actually matters when it comes to fat quality, and why under-eating fat can quietly sabotage your gut, skin and hormonal health. This is not a keto pitch. Not a “cut carbs” conversation. And definitely not about drinking oil. It’s about physiology, balance, and fuelling your body properly - without fear. In this episode we’ll unpack: Why fat became demonised (hello 90s low-fat culture, clean eating confusion, and social media extremes) The flawed research that shaped our fear of fat — including sugar industry influence and outdated heart health studies The four main types of fats, explained simply and without overwhelm Why fats are essential for: Skin barrier strength, hydration and acne recovery Hormone production, cycle regularity and mood Gut lining integrity, bile flow and nutrient absorption Signs you might be unintentionally under-eating fat How to add fats back in without going extreme or restrictive 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.

    21. Nutrition series: Let’s Talk Protein: Why Most Women Aren’t Eating Enough (And How It’s Wrecking Their Gut, Skin, Mood, Energy and hormones)

    If you’re eating healthy but still bloated… breaking out… exhausted by 3pm… this episode is probably for you. Today we’re talking about protein, but not in a macro-tracking, carb-cutting, gym-bro way. This is a physiology-first conversation about how protein impacts your gut, skin, hormones, mood, and energy — and why under-eating it is one of the most common reasons women feel flat, inflamed, and exhausted despite “doing all the right things”. Protein isn’t just about muscle. It’s about function.

    20. Pregnancy, Poops & Period Pain: What Every Woman Should Know About Pelvic Floor Health

    Find Chloe: Website Instagram Podcast When most women hear pelvic floor, they think pregnancy, birth or “that’s something I’ll deal with when I’m older.” But the pelvic floor is deeply connected to your bladder, bowels, period pain, gut symptoms, sexual function - and even your ability to fully relax. In this episode, I’m joined by Chloe from The Lady Physio, a pelvic floor physiotherapist with nine years’ experience helping women improve their quality of life through better pelvic health. Together, we unpack why so many women experience gut issues, constipation, pain, or urgency without realising the pelvic floor is part of the picture. This episode is genuinely eye-opening - especially if you’ve ever struggled with constipation, endo pain, incomplete evacuation, pain with sex, bloating flares, or that feeling of “something’s not quite right.” 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 In this episode we’ll unpack: What pelvic floor physio actually is (and why it’s not just for postpartum) Why symptoms often first appear during pregnancy or menopause How constipation can be caused by pelvic floor dysfunction — even if your diet is great Signs that your pelvic floor might not be relaxing properly The sneaky link between endometriosis, chronic pain and a “switched-on” pelvic floor Why tightness (not weakness) causes symptoms for many gym-goers How pelvic floor tension can trigger gut symptoms or worsen period pain Why learning to relax the pelvic floor is just as important as learning to contract it 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.

    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.

    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.
