  1. The Gut Reset Mini Series, Ep 1: Why Gut Health Affects Everything

    The Gut Reset Mini Series, Ep 1: Why Gut Health Affects Everything

    This episode kicks off the Gut Reset Mini Series — a 4-part deep dive into the foundations of gut health and how true gut repair works. In this first episode, I'm walking you through how your gut influences nearly every system in your body and the most common root causes of gut imbalance I see clinically. Women often come to me with symptoms that feel "random" (things like acne, fatigue, PMS, anxiety, hormone imbalances, fertility struggles) and don't realize their gut is at the center of it all. Gut health has become one of the most talked-about topics in the wellness space, and also one of the most confusing. You'll hear people telling you to cut foods, add probiotics, do parasite cleanses, or follow generic gut protocols, but very rarely is anyone explaining why, who it's for, or how to personalize any of it. If you've ever felt like something is off in your gut, this episode will give you a framework for understanding what might be going on and where to start.   Resources: • [Free quiz] Which test is best for you? → • Get functional lab testing → • Follow Tanya on Instagram →   In this episode: 01:05 – A lot of gut health info is wrong or incomplete 😬 03:28 – The surprisingly wide range of symptoms 04:59 – Why so many systems trace back to the gut 06:25 – How the gut affects hormones 07:40 – How the medical system fails gut health 11:19 – Root causes of gut imbalance I see most often 12:14 – Two medications that massively affect the gut 13:49 – Cutting calories and certain food groups 16:27 – Why personalization and testing matter so much   I'm so grateful to have you here, friend.

  2. Unexplained Infertility, Explained: Understanding the Root Causes of Fertility Challenges Through a Holistic Lens

    JAN 30

    Unexplained Infertility, Explained: Understanding the Root Causes of Fertility Challenges Through a Holistic Lens

    In this episode, I'm getting into fertility from a holistic perspective and breaking down why so many women feel stuck when standard labs come back "normal." I'm seeing this come up again and again in my practice: women who are doing all the right things, tracking their cycles, eating well, taking supplements, and still being told they have "unexplained infertility." The thing is, fertility is a reflection of your overall health as a woman. That's why so many aspects of your own health (e.g. stress, gut health, inflammation, etc) can block conception. When you understand what your body's asking for, your fertility health will naturally follow.   Resources: • [Free quiz] Which test is best for you? → • Get functional lab testing → • Follow Tanya on Instagram →   In this episode: 01:05 – Subfertility vs "unexplained infertility" 02:55 – Fertility is a reflection of your whole-body health 05:54 – Chronic stress  is an underestimated barrier 07:59 – Gut health & inflammation 09:51 – Blood sugar imbalance, under-eating, and restriction 10:56 – Going deeper than hormone levels 13:42 – Reasons for nutrient depletion 15:10 – The functional lab tests I use to uncover fertility issues 19:33 – Creating your own personalized plan   I'm so grateful to have you here, friend.

    Wellness From Within: Which Trends Can Backfire and How to Listen to Your Body Instead

    In this episode, I'm joined by Kylie Ivanir, a registered dietitian and the founder of Within Nutrition, to talk about what actually supports healing and what can get in the way. We discuss why so many women feel like they're doing everything right (eating well, taking supplements, exercising) yet they are *still* struggling with gut issues and hormone imbalances. Kylie shares her perspective on fasting, elimination diets, protein, biohacking, and supplements – and why it's so important to apply personalization when using any of these tools. This conversation is really about coming back to the basics and the importance of slowing down instead of constantly trying to "fix" yourself. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by wellness advice or confused by all the conflicting information out there, this episode's for you.   Find Kylie Ivanir on Instagram @within.nutrition and on her website!   Resources: • [Free quiz] Which test is best for you? → • Get functional lab testing → • Follow Tanya on Instagram →   In this episode: 01:05 – Introducing Kylie Ivanir, hormone + gut dietitian 03:36 – Wellness around the world 07:06 – Biohacks & trends: which ones are actually effective 11:24 – Carnivore, keto, and low-FODMAP diets 16:29 – Restriction and elimination diets  21:54 – Danger of the social media sounding board 23:23 – The impact of modern life on health 27:14 – The smallest things make the biggest difference 28:41 – Stress & the female vs male nervous system 33:16 – Why personalization matters more than doing "everything right" 37:55 – What women are missing nutritionally 42:55 – Be wary of supplement marketing 46:03 – Tiny Health, gut testing for children 51:09 – Rapid-fire questions with Kylie   I'm so grateful to have you here, friend.

  4. Holistic Seasonal Healing: An Ayurvedic Guide to Supporting Your Body Through Winter

    JAN 16

    Holistic Seasonal Healing: An Ayurvedic Guide to Supporting Your Body Through Winter

    In this episode, I share the concept of seasonality through the lens of Ayurveda and how our bodies are designed to shift with the seasons. Modern society and productivity culture often clash with our actual biology, especially during winter. Honoring your body during this restorative season can make a meaningful difference in your energy, digestion, mood, and hormones. This episode is an invitation to meet your body where it is and work with your natural rhythms instead of against them.   Resources: • [Free quiz] Which test is best for you? → • Get functional lab testing → • Follow Tanya on Instagram →   In this episode: 01:05 – Each season has a specific energy 02:59 – Looking at your health through an Ayurvedic lens 05:40 – Nature's effect on energy, digestion, mood 07:01 – Expectations versus biology 09:13 – What happens in your body during winter 10:54 – Feeling out of seasonal alignment 14:29 – Practical steps to feel well during winter 18:29 – Personalizing by listening to your body   I'm so grateful to have you here, friend.

    The Truth About Detox: Why Harsh Cleanses Can Backfire and How to Reset Your Body Naturally

    In this episode, I talk about something top of mind about this time of year: detox culture. I explain why extreme cleanses and juice fasts almost always backfire and walk you through what natural detoxification actually looks like in the body. I break down the roles of your liver, gut, kidneys, and other detox pathways, and share which holistic habits will truly move the needle. My goal is to help you see detox as a process of coming back into balance rather than punishing yourself for moving more slowly during winter.   Resources: • [Free quiz] Which test is best for you? → • Get functional lab testing → • Follow Tanya on Instagram →   In this episode: 01:05 – A little life update + Luna's health plan 05:37 – Holiday habits and falling out of our routine 07:08 – How to know if your body's out of balance 08:18 – What detox culture/marketing gets wrong 12:22 – Why harsh detoxes backfire 13:18 – How natural detox actually works in the body 15:03 – What might cause your natural detox system to slow 16:44 – Identifying the exact cause through lab testing 17:23 – Noah shares his two cents  18:15 – Foundational habits that support natural detox   I'm so grateful to have you here, friend.
