    46. What I Eat in a Day (And Why It Actually Works)

    There is no shortage of “healthy eating” advice out there, but most of it is built around convenience, marketing, and confusion rather than what the body actually needs. In this episode, Lisa walks you through exactly what she eats in a day and why. Not as a rigid plan to follow, but as a real-life example of how to support gut health, reduce inflammation, and stay energized without overcomplicating things. From morning habits and hydration to protein intake, fermented foods, and simple meals, Lisa explains how small daily choices add up to big changes. She also breaks down common mistakes people make with “healthy” foods, why certain habits lead to weight gain or cravings, and how to start paying attention to what your body is actually telling you. This episode is a reminder that you are not a victim of what’s on your fork. You are in control, and your daily habits matter more than any trend. In this episode, Lisa explores: What a real day of eating looks like for gut health and energy Why hydration and electrolytes are foundational How protein, fermented foods, and timing impact your body The truth about “healthy” packaged foods and hidden inflammation Why you are always in control of what you eat Key Moments 21:22 – Lisa introduces the episode and why she’s sharing what she eats in a day 23:32 – Frustration with the food system and rising obesity 28:13 – Morning routine and how your breath reflects gut health 32:56 – What her actual meals look like and why protein matters 44:52 – Cheat foods, cravings, and how she approaches balance 58:47 – Final message: you are not a victim of what’s on your fork FREE GUT ANALYSIS CALL 🎁 Schedule your free gut analysis call with me!

    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!

    42. My Hair Secrets at 60. The Unexpected Connection between Your Hair Health and Your Gut Health

    Hair loss can feel frustrating, personal, and impossible to fix, especially when it seems to show up out of nowhere. In this episode, Lisa Garrett breaks down one of the most common complaints she hears from women over 45: thinning, shedding, brittle hair that just does not feel like you anymore. Instead of chasing miracle shampoos or trendy supplements, she brings the conversation back to what matters most: the health of your gut. Lisa explains why hair is one of the last places your body sends nutrients, which means any gut dysfunction, chronic inflammation, blood sugar chaos, or long-term stress can show up first in your scalp, your skin, and your energy. She connects the dots between poor nutrient absorption, cortisol, hormone imbalance, and the foods that can actually help your body rebuild from the inside out. This episode is both practical and reassuring. Lisa gives clear starting points for supporting healthier hair through real food, better digestion, and honest stress management, while reminding listeners that lasting results do not come from surface-level fixes. They come from giving the body what it has been asking for all along. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why hair is one of the last priorities in the body. How poor gut health can lead to thinning, shedding, and brittle hair. The role of inflammation, cortisol, and blood sugar in hair loss. Which foods can support gut healing and healthier hair growth. Why better hair starts from the inside, not the shower shelf. KEY MOMENTS 00:01 – Lisa introduces the link between thinning hair and gut health 02:20 – Why nutrient absorption matters for stronger, healthier hair 04:48 – How chronic stress and high cortisol keep hair stuck in the shedding phase 09:37 – Lisa shares gut-supportive foods that can help improve hair growth 25:55 – Why there is no magic supplement and better hair starts within FREE GUT ANALYSIS CALL 🎁 Schedule your free gut analysis call with me!

    41. What Your Skin Is Trying to Tell You

    In this episode, Lisa Garrett sits down with her longtime friend Lora Bush, the founder of Serena’s Soaps and Salves, for a conversation that goes far beyond skincare. What begins as a discussion about handmade goat milk soap opens into something much deeper: the connection between skin health, inflammation, ingredients, and the body’s internal balance. Lora shares how her daughter Serena’s complex skin challenges pushed her to question conventional advice and search for a more holistic path. Together, Lisa and Lora unpack why skin issues are rarely just surface-level problems. They talk about the gut-skin connection, the limits of quick-fix treatments, and the difference between truly nourishing products and the heavily processed options most people use every day. Lora also explains why goat milk, herbs, and simple ingredients can support the skin in a way commercial products often do not. At the heart of the episode is Serena’s story. Lora shares how building this business became a way to support her daughter, highlight her capabilities, and create something rooted in family, purpose, and real-life care. It is a conversation about advocacy, motherhood, resilience, and choosing a slower, more intentional way to care for ourselves. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why many skin conditions begin with inflammation inside the body How Serena’s health journey led Lora to a holistic approach What makes handmade goat milk soap different from commercial products How ingredient quality affects skin health and overall wellness How Serena’s Soaps and Salves became a business built on purpose and capability KEY MOMENTS 00:00 – Lisa introduces Lora Bush and the mission behind Serena’s Soaps and Salves 02:39 – Lora shares how Serena’s skin struggles led her to start researching natural solutions 07:02 – The conversation dives into HS, elimination diets, and the gut-skin connection 17:36 – Lora explains why goat milk is so nourishing and how handmade soap protects the skin differently 41:56 – Lora reflects on Serena’s role in the business and what capability really means FREE GUT ANALYSIS CALL 🎁 Schedule your free gut analysis call with me!
