    The Skin Detox Myth: What Actually Causes Acne & When Detoxification Can Help Clear Your Skin

    Skin issues and detoxification are often talked about hand-in-hand — especially when it comes to acne. But does breaking out actually mean your body is overloaded with toxins or that you need to detox? In this episode, I'm breaking down the real connection between your skin and your body's detoxification systems, why skin issues don't automatically point to a detox problem, and what could actually be driving them instead. I also share how I approach chronic skin concerns with my own clients to understand what's happening beneath the surface and determine what their skin actually needs.   Connect with Tanya: • Take the free quiz → • Get functional lab testing → • Let's connect on IG →   In this episode: 02:50 – Skin issues + the detox conversation 05:36 – The detoxification process 08:39 – What actually causes acne? 10:00 – Hormones + your skin 12:22 – Blood sugar, insulin + acne 14:24 – The gut-skin connection 16:28 – Nutrient deficiencies + skin supplements 18:59 – Stress, lifestyle + skincare 21:41 – Reducing environmental toxin exposure 24:39 – How to support your body's natural detoxification 27:43 – When a detox protocol may actually be appropriate 28:58 – How I investigate chronic skin issues + testing   I'm so grateful to have you here, friend.

    The Elimination Diet Trap: Rethinking Food Intolerances, Gut Symptoms, Finding the Root Cause & Healing Your Gut Long-Term

    If cutting out certain foods makes your bloating, gas, reflux, or other digestive symptoms disappear, it's easy to assume you've found the problem. But feeling better without a certain food doesn't necessarily mean that food was the root cause of your symptoms. Sometimes you've simply removed the trigger while the reason your body stopped tolerating it is still there. In this episode, we're talking about elimination diets: when they can actually be helpful, where they can go wrong, and why I don't want food restriction to become your long-term gut health plan. Our ultimate goal is to improve your gut health and give you more freedom around food.   Connect with Tanya: • Take the free quiz → • Get functional lab testing → • Let's connect on IG →   In this episode: 01:06 – Life update: Dog chaos and a big scare 12:53 – Why we need to be careful with elimination diets 16:39 – Food is often NOT the root cause 19:06 – When elimination diets can actually be helpful 21:01 – Temporary restrictions can't be the whole plan 24:04 – Low FODMAP: how it's actually meant to be used 25:56 – Why your food tolerance may have changed 27:38 – How your gut microbiome factors in 28:32 – Why there's no universal "gut-healing protocol" 30:43 – The digestive process 32:37 – How stress impacts your gut health 34:52 – The questions I ask my gut health clients 37:41 – Figuring out what's actually happening in your gut   I'm so grateful to have you here, friend.

    Is Your Menstrual Cycle Healthy? What Your Period, Ovulation, PMS & Cycle Changes Tell You About Your Health

    Your menstrual cycle can tell you so much more about your health than whether your period shows up every month. In fact, it's one of the first things I look at with my female clients because changes in your cycle can give us clues about your hormones, ovulation, nutrient status, thyroid, metabolism, stress response, and overall health. In this episode, we're breaking down some of the biggest signs that something may be off with your cycle, what's considered "common" vs "normal," why your own baseline matters, and how I use these patterns to determine what might be worth investigating further.    Connect with Tanya: • Take the free quiz → • Get functional lab testing → • Let's connect on IG →   In this episode: 01:06 – Life updates: so ready for fall… 07:16 – Your cycle provides clues for your overall health 11:28 – Cycle length and what's normal 14:52 – Irregular cycles and ovulation 16:06 – What happens throughout your cycle 19:59 – Heavy periods and the connection with iron depletion 22:33 – What light periods can signify 26:29 – Spotting: when it happens matters 28:00 – Is period pain normal? 30:59 – PMS beyond normal hormonal fluctuations 32:59 – Sudden changes in your cycle  35:50 – What to track + which labs are actually worth running   I'm so grateful to have you here, friend.
