    Episode 25: Top Reasons I Know Someone Needs Gut Work (Even If They Say It’s Fine)

    You don’t have to be bloated to have a gut problem. If you’re tired all the time, snapping at people you love, waking up foggy, or feeling like your body just isn’t responding anymore… your gut might be at the root of it. In this episode, Dr. Kacey Wallace reveals the silent signs of gut dysfunction most women miss — even when their digestion seems “normal.” She shares how hidden inflammation in the gut quietly drives everything from mood swings and fatigue to hormone chaos and autoimmune patterns — and how healing your gut can help you reclaim your energy, focus, and peace again. You’ll also hear the story of how her own “normal” labs missed everything — until functional testing revealed what was really going on beneath the surface. Because real healing doesn’t start with chasing symptoms. It starts with repairing the roots. ✨ Stop managing symptoms. Mend the mess. Rebuild your resiliency. Reclaim the Real You.

    Episode 24: What if Peace, Not Perfection, Was Your Health Goal This Season

    Everywhere you look this season, someone’s telling you to do more—eat cleaner, move more, plan better, be more grateful.But what if the most healing thing you could do… is less?

Mend the mess. Rebuild your resiliency. Reclaim the Real You.

    Episode 22 Wine O’Clock Isn’t the Answer—Here’s Why

    In this episode of The Anchored to Wellness Show, we’re getting honest about the end-of-day ritual—wine, sugar, Netflix, scrolling—and what it’s really telling you. This isn’t about blame. It’s about signals. If your nightly wind-down is the only way to “turn off,” your body isn’t weak—your resiliency tank is low and your nervous system is asking for help. We’ll unpack: – Why we reach for it: the ritual that marks “I made it” (and why culture normalizes it) – What’s happening under the hood: cortisol rhythm, blood sugar swings, sleep architecture, HRV – The dependency loop: why short-term relief drains tomorrow’s capacity – Resiliency > willpower: how Reset → Repair → Rebuild restores calm, focus, and steady energy No shame, no scare tactics—just physiology you can work with and small shifts that rebuild capacity. ✨ Stop managing symptoms.

    Episode 21: 3 Signs You’re Aging Faster Than Your Biological Age

    In this episode of The Anchored to Wellness Show, we’re talking about the age that actually matters—your biological age. Chronological age is candles on a cake; biological age is how resilient your systems are on the inside. Here’s the bold truth: those “just getting older” symptoms—afternoon crashes, brain fog, restless nights, weight that won’t budge—aren’t inevitabilities. They’re signals that your resiliency tank is running low. I’ll walk you through the three biggest signs your biological age may be pulling ahead (and what to do about it): – Collapsing energy curve: what it means when mitochondria sputter and cortisol rhythm flattens – Losing your brain’s edge: why fog, slower recall, and decision fatigue are early reserve warnings – Repair capacity failing: slower healing, more inflammation, and why “metabolic mess” accelerates aging You’ll learn how anchoring rhythms, calming your nervous system, and supporting cellular repair can slow—or even reverse—the pace of biological aging. No shame, no scare tactics—just the truth your body has been trying to tell you and a path to rebuild resiliency. ✨ Stop managing symptoms. Mend the mess. Rebuild your resiliency.

    Episode 20: What "Root Cause Medicine" Really Means

    In this episode of The Anchored to Wellness Show, I’m pulling back the curtain on one of the most overused—and misunderstood—phrases in health right now: root cause medicine. Here’s the truth: conventional medicine saves lives. But functional medicine restores them. If you’ve ever been told “your labs are normal” while you still feel foggy, exhausted, or dismissed… this conversation is for you. I share why most of today’s system stops at managing symptoms, how I personally experienced the gaps in care, and why I believe the real power lies in asking why. We’ll walk through: – Why symptom management ≠ healing – How the Reset → Repair → Rebuild framework addresses roots, not just leaves – My personal journey with IBS and the shift that changed everything – The dangers of labels without answers (like dementia at 44) – What root cause medicine really means — and why it matters for your life This isn’t just about buzzwords. It’s about reclaiming your energy, your clarity, and your resiliency. ✨ Stop managing symptoms. Mend the mess. Rebuild your resiliency. Reclaim the Real You.
