A Breath of Fresh Air

I have listened to 5 sessions of The Gutsy Podcast. Mandy has titled that properly, because she is gutsy, in a good way. I have worked alongside Mandy in the traditional medical environment, and she has worked with me one on one as a functional medicine doctor with my health challenges, and in both roles she is always willing to go up and beyond to advocate for the wellness of her clients! She is compassionate, respectful, and willing to work alongside people giving them the tools and knowledge base to make a difference in their lives.
Keep the podcasts rolling!

So glad to have this podcast out there!

Mandy is brilliant and explains things in a way that resonates, and that is authentic. Having a functional medicine perspective for fertility is welcome as there are many functional medicine podcasts but this one serves so many women in a field that needs more attention. I can’t wait to hear more episodes!
