    How Women Should ACTUALLY Fuel Their Bodies to Build Lean Muscle with Angelo Keely, co-founder and CEO of Kion

    Are you eating healthy, working out consistently, and doing everything you think you're supposed to do — but still feeling exhausted, struggling to build muscle, or not seeing the results you want? It might be time to look at how you're fueling your body. In this episode of Gut Talk, we're sitting down with Angelo Keely to unpack how women should actually approach nutrition, protein, essential amino acids, and building muscle. We're breaking down the difference between eating enough and simply eating healthy, why chronic under-fueling deserves more attention, and how the way we nourish our bodies can affect our ability to feel strong and perform at our best. We're also getting into the protein craze: Are we overdoing it? Does protein timing matter? And what do women actually need when it comes to supplements like essential amino acids, creatine, and protein powder?Plus, we're discussing the importance of maintaining muscle as we age, how women taking GLP-1 medications can prioritize their nutritional needs, and practical ways to stop overcomplicating nutrition. If you've ever felt like you need to eat less, work out harder, or add another supplement to your routine to finally get results, this conversation is for you. IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER: - Are we eating too much protein, or are we still missing the mark? - Does spreading protein throughout the day make a difference? - How protein and amino acid needs can vary with different types of exercise, from Pilates to lifting and HYROX - Under-fueling: what happens when you're eating healthy and exercising consistently but still feel exhausted - The connection between fueling your body and supporting your health - Why muscle matters for women's health beyond aesthetics - What women in their 20s and 30s can do now to support strength and longevity - Essential amino acids vs. protein powder: what's the difference, and who might benefit? - Creatine, collagen, electrolytes, and supplement overload — how do you know what you actually need? - GLP-1 medications and the importance of protecting muscle and meeting nutritional needs - Three actionable ways to start fueling your body better today OUR BIGGEST TAKEAWAY: You don't have to make nutrition more complicated to take better care of yourself. Understanding your body's needs, fueling consistently, and building strength can be a much more empowering place to start than chasing every new wellness trend.

    MICROPLASTICS: How Worried Should We Really Be? (And What You Can Actually Do) with Dr. Nick Monsul

    Microplastics are everywhere — but how much should we actually be worrying about them? On this episode of Gut Talk, we’re joined by Dr. Nick Monsul, co-founder of Quorum Innovations, to break down the science behind microplastics and what we know so far about their potential impact on our health. We’re talking about how microplastics enter our bodies, what emerging research suggests about their relationship with gut health, the microbiome, hormones, and reproductive health, and the everyday sources of exposure you might not think twice about. Dr. Monsul also explains the role of protective biofilms and the science behind Quorum Innovations’ Qi601, including what research has shown so far and what still needs to be proven. Plus, we’re sharing practical ways to reduce everyday exposure, which plastic-free swaps may not be worth the hype, and how to take a proactive approach to your health without becoming fearful of everything around you. IN THIS EPISODE: What microplastics and nanoplastics actually areWhere we’re exposed to microplastics every dayHow microplastics may affect the gut microbiome and intestinal barrierWhat emerging research says about microplastics, hormones, and reproductive healthPlastic water bottles, food packaging, and heating food in plastic: what matters most?Protective biofilms and the science behind Qi601What we know — and what we still don’t know — about binding microplastics in the gutThe most impactful ways to reduce everyday exposureWhich plastic-free swaps may be overhypedHow to prioritize your health without falling into fear-based wellnessPlastic activewear?!

From the WeNatal founders and why preconception health starts long before pregnancy, to Stephanie Criscione's approach to acne and skincare, Dr. Antonia's insights on nervous system regulation, and Mila Magnani's advice on navigating PCOS, we're sharing the health lessons that have stuck with us most. We're also reflecting on Dave Friedberg's reminder that success isn't reserved for special people — it's built by staying curious and continuing to learn.

    SISTER SOLO: Being Single in Your Late 20s/Early 30s: Let’s Actually Talk About It

    This week on Gut Talk, we’re getting a little more personal — from our chaotic weekend and things NOT going according to plan, to the reality of building a life as a single woman in your early 30s. We’re also talking about social media and why it’s so important to remember that what you see online is a game, a job, and often a business. Everyone is trying to sell something, so take what resonates, leave what doesn’t, and use your own discernment. Plus: why we think we could all be a little kinder on social media, the pressure to have your life figured out by a certain age, and learning to trust your own timeline. In this episode we chat about: - Why we could all be a little kinder on social media - Remembering that social media is a business - Using your own discernment online - Our weekend: The Chainsmokers, a nada toe, and things not going according to plan - What it’s really like building your life as a single woman in your early 30s - Letting go of the idea that your life has to look a certain way by a certain age - Why your timeline doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s

    PARASITES: What’s Actually Living Inside You? The Truth About Symptoms, Testing & Cleanses with The Worm Queen, Kim Rogers

    #172: Parasites have become one of the biggest conversations in wellness— but how much of it is actually legitimate, and where has the internet taken it way too far? This week we're joined by Kim Rogers, aka the Worm Queen. We get into how common parasites actually are, what happens in the body when someone gets one, and the most common (and most surprising) ways people are exposed. Then we dig into the symptoms — bloating, fatigue, skin issues, cravings, even teeth grinding — that get blamed on parasites online, and which of those are actually legitimate versus wildly overhyped. We also cover parasite cleanses: who actually needs one, what red flags to watch for, and the truth about "die-off" symptoms. Kim walks us through her ParaFy protocol, what was missing from the products already on the market, and how to know if an approach like this is right for you. Finally, we get into the everyday stuff — sushi, washing produce, pets, travel — and how concerned you should actually be about each one. Here's what we get into: How common parasites actually are, and what a parasite even isHow people actually get exposed (and the myths around it)Symptoms that might indicate a parasite — and which ones are wildly overblown onlineHow parasites are tested and confirmedWho actually needs a parasite cleanse, and the red flags to watch forShould you have sushi?The truth about "die-off" symptomsKim's ParaFy protocol — what's in it, why, and how to know if it's right for youEveryday risk: sushi, produce washing, hygiene, travel, and petsThe 3 things Kim wishes everyone would do differently after this episode Connect with us: GET A PARAFY PARASITE CLEANSE KIT HERE: Use code GUTTALK for 20% off your order Follow Kim Rogers:  YouTube Tiktok Instagram SPONSORS: Farmer Focus Kion If this episode resonated, share it with a friend who needs to hear it.

    How to Actually Regulate Your Nervous System with Dr. Antonia Denison

    This week we're joined by Dr. Antonia — she holds a Master's in Neuroscience and a Doctorate of Chiropractic, and takes a truly holistic approach to how she treats patients. We get into why chiropractic care is about so much more than cracking your back, and spend the bulk of this conversation on the nervous system — how it connects to chiropractic care, why regulation tools don't work if your nervous system is still dysregulated, and what daily practices actually help. We also cover the corporate-desk-job reality most of us are living in — posture, tech neck, and what to actually do about the toll of staring at a screen all day. And we get into hormones, metabolic health, and a few tools Dr. Antonia swears by, including red light therapy and cranial work. If you've ever tried a breathing exercise or a meditation app and felt like "this isn't working for me," this episode explains why — and what actually helps. Here's what we get into: Why a chiropractor is more than just someone who cracks your backWhat to actually look for when choosing a chiropractorThe real benefits of consistent adjustments — including how it can improve sleep & anxietyHow to protect your posture and health at a desk jobTech neck — what it's actually doing to your spine and what to do about itHow the nervous system and chiropractic care are connectedWhy regulation tools don't work on a dysregulated nervous systemDaily practices that actually help regulate your nervous systemTools to maintain regulation once you've gotten thereThe connection between anxiety and physical pain — and how to recognize itWhy metabolic efficiency matters and how to support it (including how you eat and walking after meals)The upper cervical spine — what to knowRed light therapy — why Dr. Antonia uses itCranial work — what it is and why she uses it as a treatment Semi Rapid Fire: Who Dr. Antonia follows for health inspirationHer one tool for nervous system regulation, if she could only pick oneShoe recommendations from a chiropractor's perspectiveBook recommendations for nervous system regulationWhat to look for in a pillowMorning and night routine additions for a healthy body and mindHer best purchase this year Connect with Dr. Antonia: Follow Dr. Antonia on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.antoniadenison/ Follow Dr. Antonia on Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.antoniadenison Work with Dr. Antonia in San Diego: https://wellnesswavechiropractic.janeapp.com/#/staff_member/019fe80b-0c66-797a-a9e6-0fdbd0c4e679 If this episode resonated, share it with a friend who needs to hear it.
