    Reduce the Load: The First Step to Calming Inflammation

    "Healing doesn’t happen in a dramatic overhaul. Healing happens in small, consistent, compassionate choices made over time. Before you add, you must remove." — Kylie Buckner, RN In this first installment of our "Inflammation Reset" mini-series, Kylie breaks down the most overlooked pillar of healing: Reducing the Load. Before we add expensive supplements or complicated protocols, we have to look at what is filling our "cellular bucket" to the point of overflowing. Today, Kylie explains why your body might be in a constant state of high alert and how simple, sustainable swaps in your daily environment can give your liver and your hormones the breathing room they need to heal. In this 10-minute "Glow & Go" segment, you’ll learn: The "Bucket Theory" of inflammation and why your body is struggling to keep up. The staggering reality of chemical exposure (the "200 chemicals before breakfast" rule). Why "removing" is often more powerful than "adding" when it comes to hormonal health. The connection between your liver, your skincare, and your estrogen levels. Your 1-Week Challenge: One simple swap to start lowering your toxic burden today. 📚 Resources Mentioned EWG.org (Environmental Working Group): The gold standard for researching the safety of your tap water, cleaning products, and EWG's "Skin Deep" database. Think Dirty App: A quick and easy way to scan your beauty and personal care products to see how they rank for toxicity and hormone disruptors. Ready to stop guessing and start healing?

    The Issues in Your Tissues: A Deep Dive into Fascia, Pain & Whole-Body Wellness with Dr. Abby Perone

    "Pain comes to the party last. You've had dysfunction for months — sometimes years — before the pain ever shows up. Your body has been helping you out the whole time without complaining. Pain is just its way of finally saying: I'm done." — Dr. Abby Perone What if the aches, tension, and patterns in your body aren't random — and your fascia, posture, and even the way you stand are telling a much bigger story? In this episode, I'm sitting down with my neighbor, dear friend, fellow mama, and total wealth of knowledge, Dr. Abby Perone — Doctor of Chiropractic, biomechanics specialist, and fascia expert at Love Health in St. Petersburg, FL. Abby has spent 15 years working with everyone from Olympic athletes to everyday mamas, and she has a gift for translating complex body science into something you can actually feel and use. We're talking all things fascia — what it is, why it matters, and why your pain is almost always a lagging indicator of something that's been building for months (or years). We get into the silk vs. saran wrap analogy that will change how you think about your tissue health, what Abby can tell about you just from looking at your feet, how repetitive movements (yes, even holding your baby on one hip) shape your body over time, and the emotional side of tissue — because the issues really are in the tissues. And because Abby is also my go-to lash girl and the creator of our favorite concept, Fasch & Lash — we close it out with a little conversation about why wellness and beauty can absolutely coexist. This one is so good. You're going to want to take notes. Connect with Dr. Abby: 🌐 wearelovehealth.com 📸 Instagram: @MrsLoveHealthDoc Show Notes / Resources Mentioned "The Fuzz Video" by Gil Hedley — A classic, eye-opening look at fascia and what happens when we don't move. Search "Gil Hedley fuzz video" on YouTube. (Abby has been referencing this for 25 years — it's a must-watch!) "You Can Heal Your Life" by Louise Hay — The self-help classic with an appendix connecting physical ailments to emotional root causes and limiting beliefs. A resource Abby references regularly in her practice. Thomas Myers / Anatomy Trains — Abby references Thomas Myers as one of the foundational voices in fascia research. His work on fascial lines and connective tissue is widely respected in the field. Want support putting all of this into practice in your own life? Through coaching, I help women build realistic, nourishing habits for whole-body wellness.

    Glow & Go: Issues in Your Tissues? 6 Simple Tools for Fascial Release at Home

    "We carry a lot in our bodies. Literally and figuratively. We carry our babies, our stress, our grief, our to-do lists... and so many of us have normalized feeling tight, stiff, achy, or restricted. But fascia is not a passive tissue. It is alive, it is responsive, and it absolutely wants to be cared for." — Kylie Buckner, RN Ever feel stiff, tight, or just "off" in your body, no matter how much you stretch? It might not be your muscles—it might be your fascia! In this quick Glow & Go segment, I’m giving you a foundational primer on the most abundant (and most ignored) tissue in your body. Drawing from my years as a yin yoga teacher, nurse, and holistic health coach, we’re talking about what fascia actually is, why it gets "sticky" from stress and repetitive mom-life movements, and why we need to stop normalizing chronic tension. Plus, I’m sharing my top 6 simple, at-home tools you can use today to release tension, restore your body's natural glide, and get your glow back. Consider this your perfect warm-up for our full-length interview with chiropractic and fascia expert Dr. Abby Perone, dropping later this week! In this episode, we cover: What I learned about emotional release and tissue health from teaching Yin Yoga The difference between muscle tightness and fascial restriction Why women and moms are especially prone to "sticky" fascia 6 accessible, at-home tools for fascial release (no expensive equipment required!)

    "Your Gut is Talking — Are You Listening? Unpacking SIBO, IBS & the Misdiagnosis Maze with Dahlia Marin, RDN"

    "Your bowels are not irritable for no reason — just like your child wouldn't be irritable for no reason. Something is going on, something is off. And it's our job to find out what." — Dahlia Marin, RDN Show Description What does your gut have to do with your hormones, your skin, your brain, and your long-term health? Everything. In this episode of the Green Glow Lifestyle Podcast, host Kylie Buckner, RN sits down with Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and gut health trailblazer Dahlia Marin, RDN, LD, CGN, co-founder of Married to Health, for a conversation that is equal parts clinical deep-dive and heart-to-heart between two healthcare mamas who have been there. Dahlia has spent nearly 14 years in the field — from inpatient hospital dietetics to pediatric lifestyle medicine to integrative and functional GI nutrition — and she brings all of it to this conversation. Together, Kylie and Dahlia pull back the curtain on the "gut health trend," break down what's really going on when you're told "it's just IBS," and explain why your bowels are never irritable for no reason. Kylie also gets personal — sharing her own 20+ year journey of chronic constipation, bloating, pain, and misdiagnosis that ultimately led to a Stage 4 Endometriosis diagnosis — and how addressing the root cause finally resolved the GI symptoms she had been living with for decades.
