    S04E15. What Really Matters When Choosing Supplements with Kat Schneider

    What Really Matters When Choosing Supplements with Kat Schneider Not all supplements are created equal, and the pretty bottle on Instagram is not a good enough reason to buy it. Kat Schneider is the founder and CEO of Ritual, the number one clinically studied prenatal supplement brand in the US. After struggling to find a prenatal she could actually trust during her own pregnancy, Kat built a company from the ground up with transparency, safety, and real science at its core. In this episode, Katie and Cris sit down with Kat to break down what you actually need to know before putting any supplement in your body. From decoding certifications and clinical studies to understanding heavy metals, supply chain transparency, and why most studies weren't even done on women, this one is going to change the way you shop the supplement aisle for good. In This Episode We Cover What certifications to look for on supplement labels and why they actually matter.Why the term "clinically studied" is more misleading than you think.The truth about heavy metals in supplements and why transparency in sourcing is everything.Why "organic" on a supplement label doesn't mean what you think it does.How most nutrition studies have been done on men and why that's a problem for women.Why getting back to the basics of foundational health will always trump the latest supplement trend.

    S04E10. Client Journey: Savannah’s Story of Chronic Acne, PMDD, and Finally Feeling Like Herself Again

    Savannah's been dealing with acne since middle school. She's tried Proactiv, prescription topicals, birth control, esthetician peels, and literally everything the internet told her to try. So when she says this journey changed her life... she means it. In this episode, Savannah joins Katie and Cris to get real about what six months of inside-out skin work actually looked like, and spoiler: the biggest shifts had nothing to do with skincare. In this episode: Why doing "all the things" (we're talking whole food plant-based, clean supplements, monthly peels) still wasn't cutting it, and what was actually going on beneath the surface. The wild connection between unprocessed trauma, a calcium shell on your HTMA, and why your skin won't budge, no matter how clean you're eating. How three back-to-back cycles with zero breast tenderness and manageable periods showed up after years of debilitating PMDD, without the pill or an SSRI. The real reason Savannah kept putting it off, and the mindset shift that finally made her say "okay, let's do this" (hint: it wasn't just about the money). What "cocooning" actually looks like in real life, and why the emotional work might just be the most important part of your whole skin journey.
