    The Gut Reset Mini Series, ​Ep 4: Your Gut Health Questions, Answered

    In this fourth and final episode of the Gut Reset Mini Series, I'm answering listeners' questions. We discuss how stress, hormones, travel, sleep, and routine changes can impact your gut. We talk about why symptoms can flare even when you feel like you're doing "everything right" and what certain reactions can mean (like bloating, fiber intolerance, probiotics making things worse). I also share how gut health connects to skin and hormonal acne. If you've been following along with the series and suspect your gut is part of what's driving your symptoms, this episode will give you a lot of answers.     Resources: • [Free quiz] Which test is best for you? → • Get functional lab testing → • Follow Tanya on Instagram →   In this episode: 01:51 – Can stress alone cause gut symptoms? 02:51 – Symptoms flare even while "doing everything right" 04:42 – Why does travel affect digestion? 06:16 – Inflammation vs. a sensitive gut 07:48 – Bloating around your period: hormones or gut? 09:16 – Increasing fiber can hurt your stomach 10:39 – Can you heal your gut without supplements? 11:34 – What it means if probiotics make symptoms worse 12:54 – Gut overgrowth vs. microbiome imbalance 13:36 – Do you need to test if you know your triggers? 14:34 – Imbalances without symptoms 16:36 – Is gut health connected to cystic acne? 19:26 – Next steps to heal your gut   I'm so grateful to have you here, friend.

    The Gut Reset Mini Series, Ep 2: How I Find the Root Cause – Inside a Gut Test

    In this second episode of the Gut Reset Mini Series, I walk you through how I actually assess gut health and what can show up on a comprehensive gut test. Once you understand how connected your gut is to hormones, energy, skin, mood, and immunity, the next question is usually: how do I know what's happening in my body? We talk about why symptoms alone can be misleading and how the same symptom can stem from very different root causes. I also share why interpreting a gut test properly within your specific context (symptoms, health history, other labs, etc) is the only way to build a personalized and truly effective healing plan. If you've ever wondered whether gut testing makes sense for you, this episode will help you understand when it can be useful.   Resources: • [Free quiz] Which test is best for you? → • Get functional lab testing → • Follow Tanya on Instagram →   In this episode: 01:05 – Why symptoms alone don't tell the full story 02:47 – The power of a comprehensive gut test  05:14 – What a gut test will actually show us 06:49 – Digestion & why eating "healthy" isn't always enough 08:52 – Fat absorption, energy, and hormones 09:38 – Inflammation + immunity markers 11:47 – Gut barrier integrity 12:42 – Getting rid of pathogens and opportunistic microbes 14:52 – Parasites 👀 17:26 – A balanced gut microbiome 20:17 – Why context matters more than any single marker 21:50 – Who gut testing is (and isn't) for 23:35 – The gut repair framework   I'm so grateful to have you here, friend.

    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.

    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.
