    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. If you've ever felt like fertility was something only your body was responsible for figuring out — or you've been handed a prenatal at your OB's office without anyone explaining what's actually in it — this episode is for you. 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.

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

    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

  4. 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.

    SISTER SOLO: The Scrappy Reality of Building a Business, Pepsi's New Fiber Soda, and Giving Up Protein???

    We're back!! And this time from the studio we ACTUALLY built — kind of. It's mostly done. Sitting-on-the-floor era → full studio in 5 days and we are still a little bit in shock. This one's just us. No guest, no script, just two sisters catching up on what's actually going on behind the scenes of building a business, why we're over influencer drama, and the health trends we're low-key side-eyeing right now. What we get into: - The studio glow up — going from zero to a real space in less than a week. Shoutout to the team who made it happen, we love you. - The not-so-aesthetic part of owning a business — loans, landlord meetings, fighting with Amazon over a missing mic. It's not all pretty lighting and iced matchas. - The Alex vs. Alix of it all — we're genuinely so over the influencer drama. Our dad told us to "go read a book and climb a tree" and honestly? That's the energy we're bringing into 2026. Health hot takes: Pepsi's fiber soda — is it a health move or just giving gimmick? (Spoiler: we're sticking with our gut-friendly faves) The ozempic olympics — our real thoughts on the skinny-girl energy at Coachella and everywhere else rn Things we won't shut up about: Claude AI — Jill is officially a claude girly for her business systems K18 dry shampoo — THE holy grail for volume + skipping wash days Saying no — protecting your energy is a whole vibe Lifting weights — Jenna's whole thing lately, the confidence shift is real Eating Less protein -- should we talk more about this? Mentioned in the ep: Emma Grede's audiobook Dermot Kennedy's new album Tubing mascara — genuinely life-changing for easy removal Come hang with us!! If you have ideas for new segments or just want to say hi, we're on socials. We love our girls — you guys literally kept us going through every moment we thought about quitting 🍒

    The PCOS Advice I’d Give My Younger Self with Mila Magnani

    In this episode, we sit down with Mila Magnani for a raw and eye-opening conversation about what it really looks like to struggle with undiagnosed hormone issues—and the long road to finally getting answers. After seeing over 20 doctors and repeatedly being told “everything looks normal,” today’s guest shares how she nearly gave up on finding a diagnosis… until she decided to take her health into her own hands. We dive into her journey with PCOS—from the symptoms she didn’t realize were connected, to the frustration of being dismissed, to the moment everything finally clicked. This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever felt like something is off in your body but can’t seem to get clear answers. WHAT WE COVER: The first signs and symptoms of PCOS (and what gets overlooked)Being told “everything is normal” despite clear symptomsSeeing 20+ doctors and still not getting answersWhy hormone health is more complex than basic lab workThe turning point for Mila: taking control of her own healing journeyKey supplements that supported her (like inositol & selenium)What PCOS actually is and how to approach itWhat to do if you think you might have PCOSNon-negotiables for balancing blood sugarWhy quick fixes aren’t the answer to hormone healingThe physical and emotional transformation over timeSharing her journey online and helping others feel less alone Get MILAMEND here: https://www.milamend.com/GUTTALK (GUTALK for 15% off)

    WELCOME TO OUR VERY OWN PODCAST STUDIO: Studio plans, Bravo drama, and life updates

    SURPRISE!!! This week’s episode is a BIG one—because we’re officially building out our own studio (!!!!!) and stepping into a whole new era. We talk about what it’s really looked like behind the scenes: getting honest with ourselves, taking risks, and pushing through the uncomfortable parts to actually go after what we want. For the first time, we’re starting to see the fruits of our labor come back around—and learning how to slow down enough to feel grateful for it. We also share a reminder we both needed: you can be in the absolute lowest place and still turn things around. Truly. Then of course… we get into the BRAVO of it all. Our (mainly Jill's) raw, unfiltered reactions to the Ciara/West/Amanda drama. We talk about where the line should be, why Jill's ALMOST lowkey feeling bad for Amanda (??), and how important solid friendships are—especially when things get messy. Who speaks up? Who stays quiet? And how many people just turn a blind eye? and of course our biggest question, WHY?! We wrap with some life updates: - Jill's at home coffee shop (Breville update)- a gut health update (H. pylori & muscle testing)- Jill's new job - Jenna's part time job- Duke’s attackGratitude mindset  Sponsor: KION EAAS: You can get 20% off here:http://getkion.com/guttalk
