    How I Healed Years of Inflammation — The 5 Pillars That Actually Worked (SISTER SOLO)

    In this Sister Solo, Jenna walks through the 5 pillars that finally healed her after years of chronic gut issues, inflammation, bloating, hormonal acne, and feeling like sh*t no matter what she tried. If you've been doing all the "right" wellness things — eating clean, drinking water, taking supplements — and you still feel exhausted, bloated, or stuck in your body, this episode is for you. Jenna and Jill get real about Jenna's 2019-2023 era — the symptoms she normalized, the all-or-nothing trap that made her sicker, and the moment she realized the answer wasn't more restriction. It was less. We walk through the exact 5-pillar framework that changed everything — including the pillar nobody in wellness wants to talk about. In this episode: Jenna's "before" era: the symptoms she normalized that weren't normalThe all-or-nothing wellness trap and how it made her sickerPillar 1: Drainage — the foundation nobody talks aboutPillar 2: Gut health — and why probiotics aren't the answerPillar 3: Metabolic health — and why undereating is making women sickerPillar 4: Strength training — the day everything changedPillar 5: Curating a slower, intentional, balanced life — the pillar nobody talks aboutThe toxic friend auditWhat every woman feeling stuck in her body needs to hear Connect with us: Follow Gut Talk on Instagram: @guttalkpodcast If this episode resonated, share it with a friend who needs to hear it. 🍒

    The Case for Trimester 0 and Why Men Are 50% of the Fertility Equation with the Founders of WeNatal, Ronit Menashe & Vida Delrahim

    This week we're sitting down with Ronit Menashe and Vida Delrahim — the founders of WeNatal — for a conversation that needs to be had. Both Ronit and Vida went through miscarriages around the same time, and what they discovered through their own fertility journeys completely changed how they think about women's health, men's health, and the entire fertility industry.

Here's what we get into: Ronit and Vida's personal fertility journeys and the moment they realized this was being put all on womenWhy men are 50% of the fertility equation — and barely in the conversationWhat everyday habits are quietly wrecking male fertilityWhy most prenatals are under-dosed or full of low-quality ingredients (and what to actually look for)The role of metabolic health, stress, and nervous system regulation in conceptionThe fertility red flags people have normalizedTheir most unpopular hot takes — including whether women are being gaslit about their symptomsWhat they want every woman feeling hopeless in her fertility journey to hear Offer exclusively for the GUT TALK community: Start your WeNatal routine today by going to wenatal.com/GUTTALK and receive a free Rest+Digest Magnesium supplement ($40 value) with your first prenatal subscription.

    The Truth Behind “Better For You” Ice Cream with Alec’s Ice Cream Founder, Alec Jaffe

    This week we're sitting down with the founder of Alec's Ice Cream — the brand making ice cream that's genuinely indulgent and genuinely better for you. And no, those two things aren't a contradiction. If you've been around Gut Talk for a while, you know how we feel about the wellness world's obsession with demonizing food. Ice cream is one of the most fear-mongered foods out there — and this episode is a refreshing, honest conversation about why that needs to stop. We get into A2 dairy, regenerative farming, and why "healthifying" everything might be missing the point entirely. This one's for anyone who wants the real story behind a "better for you" brand — the ingredients, the business, and the truth about the healthy-dessert aisle. Here's what we get into: How a kid making ice cream turned it into a real business — and the moment the gap in the market became obviousWhat "indulgent but feel-good" actually means (and why that's not a marketing gimmick)Why the wellness world has spent years demonizing foods like ice cream — and why that's a problemA2 dairy explained simply — what it is, how it's different from regular dairy, and why your gut might careThe honest story behind the regenerative dairy sourcing challenge, and what they prioritize for quality nowWhy they removed seed oils, gums, and fillers — and how they develop new flavorsThe hardest parts of scaling a perishable product, and what raising $11M actually changedIce cream hot takes: is most "healthy ice cream" just marketing? Are low-calorie desserts missing the point?The hardest decision he's had to make as a founder Where to find Alec's Ice Cream: Alec's Ice CreamInstagram Connect with us: @guttalkpodcast

  7. PEPTIDES FOR YOUR SKIN?! Regenerative Skincare: The Skin Industry's Best-Kept Secret with Sara Douglas of Cellure

    May 6

    PEPTIDES FOR YOUR SKIN?! Regenerative Skincare: The Skin Industry's Best-Kept Secret with Sara Douglas of Cellure

    This week we're sitting back down with Sara Douglas — but this time we're talking about her other brand, Cellure. (If you missed our episode on Vitaclean, go listen after this one.) Sara is one of those rare founders who doesn't build companies for the sake of building — she builds them because she's lived the problem. Her skin journey is the reason Cellure exists, and what she's learned about how skin actually heals (vs. how the skincare industry tells you it heals) is going to change how you think about your routine. We're getting into why most skincare only addresses surface-level issues, what it actually means to have a damaged skin barrier, and the new category Sara's brand is building: regenerative skincare. Spoiler — it's a completely different approach to anti-aging, inflammation, and skin healing than what's on most shelves right now. If you've been throwing money at serums, sheet masks, and 12-step routines and your skin is still pissed at you, this episode is going to make a lot of things click. Here's what we get into: Sara's real skin journey and the moment she realized traditional skincare wasn't cutting itHow Cellure connects to Vitaclean (yes, they go together — and there's a reason)Why most skincare only treats the surface — and why that approach will never give you the results you wantWhat a damaged skin barrier actually is, the signs you have one, and how to actually fix itWhat "regenerative skincare" means in simple, non-marketing termsCellure's three targeted serums — Peptide Hydro Lift, Volufiline, and Tranexamic Acid — and what each one doesThe biggest skincare mistakes most women are making right nowWhether you can use these alongside retinol and other actives — and how to layer them correctly Mentioned in the episode: Use code GUTTALK15 for 15% on amazon and cellure.co website  Cellure Peptide Hydro Lift SerumCellure Volufiline SerumCellure Tranexamic Acid SerumVitaclean (our previous episode with Sara — a must-listen if you haven't yet) Where to find Cellure: Website: cellureInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cellurelabs/Sara's IG: @sarakdouglas Giveaway alert!!

    The Truth About Your Shower Water and Its Impact on Your Hair and Skin, with the Co-Founders of Vitaclean, Sara Douglas and Kristina Velkova

    This week we're sitting down with Sara Douglas and Kristina Velkova, the co-founders of Vitaclean — the shower filter that's quietly fixing the thing nobody told us was a problem: our shower water. If you've ever wondered why your skin breaks out, your hair feels brittle, or your scalp is dry no matter how many products you throw at it — this episode is going to make you look at your shower differently. We're getting into what's actually in the water coming out of your faucet (chlorine, minerals, and a few things you don't want to know about), why Texas hair is a real phenomenon, and what we both noticed when we started filtering our showers. Sara and Kristina also walk us through how they built Vitaclean — two women, a real problem, and a category that's blowing up right now for a reason. Here's what we get into: How Sara and Kristina met and what made them go from idea to actual business — the real version, not the LinkedIn versionThe personal hair and skin struggles that started this whole thingWhat's actually in your shower water (you're going to want to sit down)Why Texas water is wrecking Jill's hair and why Jenna's back acne might be a water issue, not a skincare issueWhy the shower filter category is exploding right now — and whether water quality is genuinely getting worseHow the 3-stage Vitaclean filter actually works (and why Vitamin C is the hero ingredient)What makes Vitaclean different from every other filter on the marketThe new Vitaclean Ultra — what it is, who it's forWhat you'll actually notice after you start using one (and how fast)Sara and Kristina's personal shower routines — products, ingredients, the stuff they swear by, and what they avoidTheir favorite health hacks right nowShower filter mentioned in the episode: Vitaclean Ultra: Use code GUTTALK for 20% off the vitaclean starter kit Where to find Vitaclean: Website: https://vitacleanhq.com/ Instagram: @vitacleanSara's IG: @sarakdouglasKristina's IG: @kristinavelkova Connect with us: If your shower water is officially scaring you now, come tell us in the DMs — we want to hear what you noticed when you started filtering.
