    Functional Nutrition, Stress, Sleep, Gut Health & Hormones

    Functional nutrition can feel confusing… so we unpack it. In this episode, Eric sits down with Treva Jungbluth (NBHWC-certified health & wellness coach, CPT) and Dr. Margaret O’Neill, DPT to connect the dots between gut health, stress, hormones, sleep, weight loss, autoimmunity, and injury risk/recovery for active adults and athletes.You’ll learn:What functional nutrition is (root-cause, whole-system approach) and how it differs from traditional dieteticsHow stress and sleep drive cortisol rhythms, recovery, metabolism, and injury risk (plus practical destress tactics you can start today)The gut–immune–hormone connection: SIBO basics, stool testing, leaky gut, and why 70–80% of your immune system lives in the gutWomen’s health & performance: cycle-aware training/nutrition, why injury risk can change across the cycle, and how to adjust workoutsAutoimmune & skin issues: why addressing gut and hormones can calm flares—and realistic timelines for changeSmart use of supplements & detox vs. “quick fixes,” and how PT + nutrition work together to heal fasterKey takeawaysTreat the body as a system: gut, adrenals, thyroid, metabolism, and brain all “talk.”Sleep is a pillar (aim for ~8–9 hrs for women; quality matters—deep & REM). Morning sunlight and nighttime blue-light hygiene help.Stress bucket and willpower: shrink hidden stressors (under-eating, gut issues, poor sleep) and add short breathing breaks + nature time.Progress takes time: think in months, not weeks. Quick meds may relieve symptoms but don’t always resolve causes.PT + functional nutrition together accelerate healing and reduce repeat injuries.Connect with the guestsTreva JungbluthIG: @functionalmed.trevaEmail: trevaj@vidalcoaching.comDr. Margaret O’NeilEmail: oneilmargaret45@gmail.comIG: @marge_oneil...Dr. Eric Broadworth is an Orthopaedic Clinical Specialist, sports physical therapist, and Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist in Grand Rapids, MI and the owner of Fuel Health & Wellness.
