    Ep 59: How to Support Your Nervous System in Times of Chaos

    Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, frozen, or mentally exhausted lately? You're not alone — and your nervous system might be the missing piece.   In this episode, I dive deep into how chronic stress, constant stimulation, and modern life keep us stuck in fight-or-flight (or freeze), and how that dysregulation shows up in your thoughts, emotions, digestion, energy, and overall health.   You'll learn how to recognize the signs of nervous system overwhelm, why willpower isn't the solution, and how to start regulating your body using simple, practical tools you can implement immediately.   Hannah shares powerful strategies like reducing daily inputs, auditing your energy drains, creating mental space, and using somatic tools to calm your system — along with key nutrients, herbs, and lifestyle practices that support resilience during stressful times.   If you feel like you're struggling to support your nervous system right now, this is the episode for you.   WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN THIS EPISODE: Your nervous system state influences your thoughts, emotions, digestion, and energy Chronic stimulation from phones, news, and social media keeps many people in survival mode Overwhelm often leads to a freeze response that makes simple tasks feel impossible Healing requires helping your body feel safe — not forcing productivity Reducing daily inputs can dramatically improve clarity and emotional regulation Movement and breathwork are powerful tools to shift out of stress quickly Creating mental space allows intuition and creativity to return Chronic stress increases your body's need for key nutrients Blood sugar balance plays a major role in stress resilience Nervine herbs can nourish and regulate the nervous system naturally Sleep and human connection are two of the most powerful regulators     LINKS: Book a Strategy Call with Hannah HERE Take the Gut Health Root Cause Quiz for free!

    Ep 58: Debunking Mold Inspection, Remediation & Creating a Healthy Home with Andrew Melrose

    Mold is one of the most overlooked root causes of chronic gut issues, inflammation, fatigue, histamine intolerance, and stalled healing — and most people don't realize it until they've already tried everything else to heal.     In this episode of the Nutrient Dense Podcast, Hannah Aylward is joined by Andrew Melrose, founder of Melrose Mold Solutions, to break down what mold exposure actually looks like, why surface-level fixes don't work, and how your home environment can quietly keep your nervous system, gut, and immune system stuck in survival mode.     Andrew explains why mold behaves more like a living organism with roots and why fogging, spraying, or "killing" mold doesn't eliminate exposure. Together, Hannah and Andrew connect the dots between gut healing, histamine intolerance, detox capacity, and environmental stressors, helping listeners understand when mold needs to be part of the conversation...without fear, panic, or overwhelm.      If you've dealt with stubborn digestive symptoms, recurring SIBO, unexplained fatigue, skin issues, brain fog, or feel worse in certain buildings or homes, this episode will give you a grounded, practical framework for identifying environmental contributors and knowing what best steps to take next.   WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN THIS EPISODE: Mold is not just a surface issue — it behaves like a plant with roots embedded into materials Mold cannot grow without moisture Bleach, vinegar, fogging, or "killing" mold does not remove exposure if the source remains Indoor mold exposure is more problematic than outdoor mold due to enclosed spaces and air circulation Chronic gut issues, histamine intolerance, fatigue, skin symptoms, and neurological issues can all be linked to mold exposure HVAC systems, crawl spaces, attics, and wall cavities are some of the most commonly missed mold sources Air testing alone often fails to identify the real problem — thorough inspections matter more True remediation requires containment, material removal, and detailed cleaning, not shortcuts Healing improves when the environment becomes mold-safe, not necessarily mold-free LINKS: Book a strategy call with Hannah HERE Take the Gut Health Root Cause Quiz for free!

    Ep 57: What to Do When All of Your Labs Come Back "Normal" but You Still Feel Like Shi*t

    Have you ever been told "everything looks normal" — after blood work, a colonoscopy, or an endoscopy — yet you're still dealing with chronic bloating, constipation, diarrhea, reflux, or food reactions?     In this episode, Hannah breaks down why conventional testing often misses the root causes of digestive issues, what "normal" actually means in modern medicine, and how a functional approach helps uncover what's really going on beneath the surface.     If you've tried elimination diets, supplements, and been told it's "just stress," this conversation will help you finally connect the dots.               WHAT OUR HGSB STUDENTS HAD TO SAY:   After struggling for years with digestive issues, bloating, irregular bowel movements, etc, I am so relieved that I have finally found the root cause of my problems. After getting labs done from doctors, and being told nothing is wrong with me, this program has stood true and has found the reasons why I am dealing with my problems, AND has given solutions!   I've been on rounds of antibiotics time after time thinking it will "kill off" the problem in my gut. When I realized the real way to fix the problem is to find the source and treat that. I have learned so much from the practitioners, Hannah and the group of individuals in this program. I can say my digestive issues have improved greatly since starting this program. Not to mention how proud I am of myself for putting myself first, for prioritizing my health and my body! — O.T. Before this program - even as a nutritionist- I thought I had my digestive issues under control. But that was a fleeting feeling. I quickly exhausted my own knowledge of the digestive tract and felt at my wits end. I wasn't dealing with my daily stressors and my digestive system was adding even more stress. After completing this program, I have a renewed appreciation for how food can properly fuel my body, whereas before when I was trying to fuel my body, I was not truly feeding my gut with proper nutrients and knowing what works for my gut and what doesn't. The knowledge this team has is beneficial and will stick with you, they break it down in easy to learn sections that set you up for success. No one is a lost cause and they make you feel validated and heard every step of the way. — M.P. Less stress and anxiety! I feel more chill about everything! Increased ability to handle stress when it comes up. Consistent and easy BMs. Just went on a 10 day trip and had zero constipation! More energy. Before this program, I had to take multiple breaks a day to lay down. I don't need that anymore. Less bloating. I feel much more comfortable in my jeans. I lost 12 lbs. More mild PMS symptoms, less mood swings specifically. Also, found and got rid of mold in my home because of this program. Also, now I know how to address issues I have with my gallbladder. I'm still working through this, but now I know what to do when I have a flare up. Before this program, I could find next to zero information on gallbladder issues, except to eat a low fat diet or take it out completely. Now I have hope and feel empowered to heal my gallbladder. My daily routine has also shifted significantly. I added in so many nourishing habits that have literally changed the way I live my life. — K.S.   WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN THIS EPISODE: Why "normal labs" don't always mean optimal health The difference between conventional ranges vs. functional ranges Why blood work alone can't assess gut health or digestion How low vitamin D, iron, or B12 often point to deeper gut issues Why supplementing nutrients without addressing absorption often fails The truth about thyroid testing (and why TSH alone isn't enough) How gut dysfunction can exist long before disease is diagnosable What colonoscopies and endoscopies are great for — and what they miss How functional gut testing reveals microbial imbalances, infections, and maldigestion   LINKS: Join us in my gut healing group program, Healin' Guts + Shakin' Butts before enrollment ends on January 30th at 11:59 PM EST!             CONNECT WITH HANNAH: Instagram  |   Website               If you found this episode valuable, share it with a friend and leave us a rating/review!

    Ep 55: Client Case Study: From Constant Bloating, Gas, Constipation and Fatigue to "I could cry I'm feeling so much better"

    What if the reason your bloating, constipation, fatigue, and food sensitivities haven't resolved… is because no one has looked deep enough? In today's episode of the Nutrient Dense Podcast, I walk through a powerful client case study that highlights why surface-level solutions like elimination diets, probiotics, and random supplements often fail — and what actually works instead.   This client came in exhausted, bloated daily, severely constipated, struggling with painful periods, and feeling like she had "tried everything." Through functional stool testing, we uncovered multiple hidden root causes including H. pylori, bacterial overgrowth, fungal overgrowth, a parasitic infection, low digestive enzymes, and suppressed gut immune function. Hannah breaks down exactly how these findings connect, why traditional testing often misses them, and how a strategic, phased gut-healing approach led to dramatic improvements in just a few months — including daily bowel movements, zero bloating, more energy, and relief she thought was impossible.   If you've been told "everything looks normal" but you know something isn't right, this episode will help you understand why — and what to do next.   WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN THIS EPISODE: Why chronic bloating and food reactions are symptoms, not the root problem How H. pylori impacts stomach acid, nutrient absorption, fatigue, and downstream gut issues The connection between low stomach acid, low enzymes, and bacterial overgrowth Why probiotics can make some people feel worse How histamine intolerance often points to deeper gut and liver dysfunction Why highly restrictive diets (low FODMAP, anti-Candida, carnivore) rarely fix the issue long-term The role of gut immune function (secretory IgA) and chronic stress Why "you are what you absorb" matters more than "you are what you eat" What true root-cause gut healing actually looks like in practice     LINKS: Save your seat for my FREE 3 Phase Good Gut Formula Masterclass on 1/21!

    Ep 54: Why Your Gut Issues Haven't Healed Yet (Even Though You've Tried Everything)

    If you've tried elimination diets, supplements, cleanses, and even worked with practitioners — yet you're still bloated, reactive, constipated, or exhausted — this episode explains why.   In this deep-dive episode of the Nutrient Dense Podcast, I walk through the most common reasons gut healing stalls, even when you feel like you're "doing everything right." From poor detox capacity and low gut-immune function to missing root causes, incomplete testing, incorrect protocol order, and nervous system dysregulation, I break down what actually needs to be in place for true, lasting healing.   This episode covers why symptom-chasing doesn't work, why seven-day cleanses fail, how chronic depletion and over-restriction keep the body stuck, and why healing requires nourishment, safety, consistency, and the right strategy — not more willpower.   If you feel discouraged, confused, or stuck in a cycle of trying everything to heal your gut with no results, this episode will help you finally connect the dots and understand what your body has been asking for all along.   WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN THIS EPISODE: Gut healing fails when detox pathways, digestion, and elimination aren't properly supported first Killing bacteria or fungi without adequate liver, bile, bowel, and immune support can worsen symptoms Endotoxins released during gut protocols can increase inflammation Chronic gut issues lead to nutrient depletion due to poor absorption and long-term restriction Symptoms like bloating, reflux, histamine reactions, and food sensitivities are signals, not root causes Eliminating foods may reduce symptoms temporarily but does not resolve underlying dysfunction Proper testing is essential to identify bacterial overgrowth, fungal issues, infections, toxins, and immune status Generic protocols, cleanses, and short-term interventions often miss the mark Gut healing requires the correct order of operations, customization, and adequate time Nervous system dysregulation can stall healing by keeping the body out of repair mode Healing is about building safety, resilience, and trust — not eliminating stress completely     LINKS: Book a strategy call with Hannah HERE Take the Gut Health Root Cause Quiz for free!

    Ep 53: Is Nervous System Dysregulation Causing Your Chronic Gut & Digestive Issues?

    Is nervous system dysregulation really the root cause of chronic bloating, IBS, food sensitivities, and digestive discomfort — or is that only part of the picture?   In this episode, I break down how the nervous system and gut are deeply interconnected, why digestion is a nervous-system–regulated process, and why healing your gut requires more than just "calming your nervous system." This episode explains the science behind the gut–brain axis, vagus nerve, stress hormones, histamine overload, and microbiome imbalances — and why nervous system regulation and targeted gut repair must work together for lasting results.   You'll learn how chronic stress impacts digestion, gut motility, stomach acid, immune function, and the gut lining, as well as how gut imbalances themselves can drive anxiety, panic, and overwhelm. We also explore practical tools to regulate your nervous system, build stress resilience, and support digestion in real life — without needing expensive gadgets or extreme routines.   WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN THIS EPISODE: Nervous system dysregulation contributes to gut issues — but it is rarely the only root cause Digestion is a nervous-system–regulated process, not just about food or supplements Chronic stress suppresses stomach acid, enzymes, bile flow, gut motility, and immune function The gut–brain axis is bi-directional: the gut affects anxiety and stress, and stress affects the gut Cortisol and stress hormones damage the gut lining and contribute to leaky gut and inflammation Gut imbalances can increase anxiety through histamine overload, neurotransmitter disruption, and endotoxins Trauma, chronic overwhelm, perfectionism, and people-pleasing all impact gut health via the nervous system Nervous system regulation must be paired with microbiome repair, digestion support, and root-cause healing Simple, accessible tools like breathwork can rapidly shift the body into a rest-and-digest state Healing isn't about eliminating stress — it's about building capacity and resilience   LINKS: Book a strategy call with Hannah HERE Take the Gut Health Root Cause Quiz for free!

    Ep 52: 5 Main Causes of Non-stop Bloating (that aren't food related)

    Chronic bloating that doesn't go away — even when you're eating "clean" — can feel incredibly frustrating and confusing. In this episode of the Nutrient Dense Podcast, I break down the real root causes of nonstop bloating that most people are missing.   If you're waking up bloated, reacting to healthy foods, feeling bloated after drinking water, or living on elimination diets with little relief, this episode is for you. Hannah explains why bloating often has nothing to do with the food itself and everything to do with digestive output, gut infections, nervous system regulation, and microbial imbalances.   You'll learn the 5 most common underlying causes of chronic bloating — and why addressing digestion, gut motility, and the gut–brain connection is the key to lasting relief.   WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN THIS EPISODE: Chronic bloating is rarely caused by food alone — it's usually a deeper gut imbalance Low digestive output (stomach acid, enzymes, bile) can lead to bloating no matter how healthy you eat Microbial dysbiosis (including SIBO, fungal overgrowth, and bacterial imbalance) is a major bloating driver Chronic stress and sympathetic nervous system dominance directly suppress digestion H. pylori infections can reduce stomach acid and trigger bloating, reflux, and nutrient deficiencies Constipation — even mild or "normal" constipation — fuels gas, bloating, and abdominal distention Elimination diets and low-FODMAP approaches may reduce symptoms temporarily but don't fix root causes Supporting digestion, gut motility, bile flow, and nervous system regulation leads to sustainable healing Healing your gut improves far more than digestion — energy, brain fog, skin, hormones, and fertility are all connected     LINKS: Book a strategy call with Hannah HERE Take the Gut Health Root Cause Quiz for free!
