    I Got My Copper IUD Removed — Here's Everything I Wish I Knew

    I've been talking about this for over a year — and I finally did it. In this episode, I'm sharing the full story: my birth control history starting at 16, why I chose the copper IUD in 2020, the symptoms that were telling me for a long time that something wasn't right, and what finally pushed me to get it removed. This isn't an anti-birth-control episode. It's the conversation I wish I'd had before I made any of these decisions — honest, personal, and clinically grounded. Whether you're on the pill, a hormonal IUD, the copper IUD, or considering your options, this episode is for you.

    4 Mistakes I Made That Messed Up My Gut

    Gut health gets talked about a lot, but not like this. In this episode, Gabby pulls back the curtain on her own gut health journey and the innocent mistakes she was making that were creating serious dysfunction underneath the surface. If you've been dealing with acne, brain fog, fatigue, estrogen dominance, thyroid issues, or just feeling like something is off and can't figure out why this episode might be the missing piece you've been looking for. KEY TAKEAWAYS Your gut and your brain have a two-way relationship. When one is struggling, the other one feels it. Estrogen dominance, hypothyroid symptoms, acne, and nutrient deficiencies are often downstream of gut dysfunction — not the root cause itself. Digestion happens in 8 steps. If something is broken in step two, treating step six will never fix the real problem. Under eating is a physiological stressor — it suppresses stomach acid, enzymes, and bile, and starves the beneficial bacteria your gut depends on. Leaky gut turns your immune system against your own food. The food isn't always the problem. The barrier is. You cannot fully digest in a sympathetic state. Rest and digest is not just a saying — it's biology. Define is a 1:1 functional health coaching practice built for high-achieving women who are doing everything right and still not feeling well. Using functional lab testing including the GI Map, DUTCH test, and comprehensive blood panels, Gabby identifies the upstream drivers of your symptoms and builds a protocol specific to your body — not a generic plan. → Apply to work with Gabby at https://forms.gle/CBpqh4VdQ483b2R48 → Follow along on Instagram: @gabbyvillermaux → DM Gabby the word "DEFINE" on Instagram to start the conversation
