She explains how these show up as acne, rosacea, dryness, and dull skin, and why true healing starts from within. This episode is a reset. A reminder that glowing skin is not about more products. It is about supporting your body so it can do what it is designed to do naturally.

    45. I Listened So You Don’t Have To: Gut Health Advice That Missed the Mark

    There is no shortage of gut health advice out there, but how much of it actually helps you feel better? In this episode, Lisa Garrett breaks down a popular podcast on gut health and shares where it fell short. While the information was accurate on the surface, it lacked the one thing people actually need: clear, actionable steps that make a real difference. Lisa walks through the biggest gaps she sees in mainstream gut health conversations, from oversimplified solutions like “just eat more fiber” to the dismissal of root causes like leaky gut and food sensitivities. She explains why constipation, bloating, and digestive issues are rarely just mechanical problems and why surface-level fixes often keep people stuck. This episode is about cutting through the noise and getting back to what actually works. Real food, real habits, and understanding what your body is trying to tell you. In this episode, Lisa Garrett explores: Why common gut health advice often misses the root cause The truth about constipation and why it is more than a mechanical issue Why “eat more fiber” is not a universal solution How food sensitivities and gut imbalance drive symptoms What your body is really asking for when digestion is off KEY MOMENTS: 00:53 – Lisa introduces her reaction to the gut health podcast05:40 – Why gut issues go far beyond gas and bloating12:41 – The misunderstanding around constipation and mechanics21:60 – Red flags for colorectal cancer you should not ignore28:58 – Why going every three days is not normal37:49 – The controversy around leaky gut and probiotics45:08 – Real solutions versus surface-level advice FREE GUT ANALYSIS CALL 🎁 Schedule your free gut analysis call with me!

    44. The Truth About Nutrition No One Is Teaching Anymore

    There is a growing disconnect between what we are told about health and what actually works in the body. In this episode, Lisa sits down with her mentor, Joseph Antell, to unpack decades of real clinical nutrition experience and why so many modern approaches fall short. Joseph brings over 50 years of hands-on work with practitioners and patients, offering a perspective that challenges the supplement-driven, symptom-focused model most people have come to accept. Instead of chasing quick fixes, this conversation brings the focus back to foundational principles. Whole food nutrition, understanding body systems, and addressing root causes instead of isolated symptoms. From gut health and cholesterol myths to fatigue, inflammation, and even cancer, this episode is a reminder that the body is not broken. It is responding exactly as it was designed to. And when you start working with it instead of against it, everything changes. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why modern nutrition has shifted away from treating the whole person The difference between whole food nutrients and synthetic supplements How gut health connects to chronic illness and fatigue The truth about cholesterol and why it rises with age Simple daily habits that have the biggest impact on long-term health KEY MOMENTS 00:01 – Introduction to Joseph Antell and clinical nutrition approach 04:42 – Why nutrition shifted from whole-body care to symptom treatment 11:21 – The body recognizes food, not synthetic nutrients 18:33 – Where chronic fatigue and illness actually begin 30:15 – The truth about cholesterol and aging 48:39 – Simple habits that create real health change FREE GUT ANALYSIS CALL 🎁 Schedule your free gut analysis call with me!
