    How Modern Stress Dysregulates the Gut–Brain Axis with Naturopath & Clinical Nutritionist Michaela Sparrow

    In this episode of Regulate — with Jasmine Chilcott, Jasmine and Michaela Sparrow, Naturopath & Clinical Nutritionist unpack how stress disrupts your gut, hormones, mood and energy, and why understanding the gut–brain axis is the foundation of a regulated life. Most people accept bloating, exhaustion, painful periods, anxiety and burnout as “normal.” They’re not. They’re signals. I created this podcast because I learned the hard way that you can’t out-supplement an unregulated system, and you can’t feel well if your gut and brain are constantly in survival mode. Regulate exists to give you science-backed clarity in a world that keeps pulling your body off-centre. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: How stress shuts down digestion Why symptoms don’t show up on standard tests The real role of the migrating motor complex (MMC) Why regulation matters more than quick fixes How to support your gut daily so it can support you This episode lays the foundation for everything to come, a new way of understanding your symptoms and your body.

    The Female Cycle Explained: the 4 Phases, Hormones & Your Gut with Clinical Nutritionist & Naturopath Michaela Sparrow

    Most women have never been taught how their cycle actually works, or why every phase changes mood, energy, cravings, digestion, confidence, and stress tolerance. In this episode, Jasmine and Michaela Sparrow, Naturopath & Clinical Nutritionist, break down the female cycle in a way that finally makes sense. You’ll learn why women don’t run on a 24-hour hormonal clock, but a 28-day cycle that shifts everything from gut symptoms to emotional regulation. And why understanding your follicular phase, ovulation, and luteal phase can completely change how you plan your life, your work, your rest, and your expectations of yourself. What You’ll Learn Why energy, mood and confidence rise in your follicular phase Why ovulation is your mental + physical “peak window” Why PMS, irritability and emotional sensitivity increase in luteal Why you’re hungrier (and need more food) pre-period Why women often gain 2–5kg of fluid before bleeding How the gut microbiome influences estrogen, PMS and heavy periods Why IBS is more common in women How to work with your cycle instead of against it If you’ve ever wondered, “Why do I feel like a different person each week?”, this episode gives you the clarity and language to finally understand your body.

    Decoding Gut Health: The Terms, Conditions & What They Actually Mean with Naturopath & Clinical Nutritionist Michaela Sparrow

    Understanding gut health shouldn’t feel overwhelming.In this episode, Jasmine sits down with Michaela Sparrow, Naturopath & Clinical Nutritionist, to break down the gut health terms everyone hears but few people genuinely understand. If you’ve ever been told “your tests are normal” while still dealing with bloating, fatigue, food reactions, brain fog, or hormonal symptoms… this episode shows you what’s actually happening inside your body, and what it means for healing. By watching this, you’ll finally understand the real drivers behind the most common gut conditions so you can take the right next steps instead of guessing. We unpack: • Dysbiosis — what an imbalanced microbiome really is (and why it causes such broad symptoms) • IBS — why it’s an umbrella label, not a diagnosis • SIBO — how bacteria move into the small intestine and trigger severe bloating and inflammation • Microbiome 101 — and why no two gut healing protocols should ever be the same • Candida — the overlooked symptoms nobody connects to the gut • Leaky Gut (Intestinal Permeability) — what tight junctions are and what happens when they loosen • Vagus Nerve — why a dysregulated nervous system keeps your digestive symptoms stuck • Gut–Brain Axis — how stress shuts down digestion in real time This episode cuts through the noise and gives you a clear map of what these conditions actually mean, so you can understand your symptoms, advocate for yourself, and begin healing with confidence.
