This week on Gut Talk, we’re sitting down with Gastroenterologist Dr. Sanjana Luther to talk about the gut issues so many women deal with — and the symptoms we’ve been told are “normal” but might deserve a closer look.

We’re getting into IBS-C, IBS-D, constipation and bloating, including common triggers, what actually helps, and when it’s time to see a gastroenterologist. We also break down the conversation around gluten, dairy, artificial sweeteners and food sensitivities, plus what Dr. Luther thinks we’re getting wrong about gut health.

One of the biggest conversations in this episode is colorectal cancer in younger adults. We talk about why rates are rising, what symptoms to pay attention to, prevention, and what everyone should know about protecting their gut health.

Plus, Dr. Luther shares her approach to proactive gut health, including fiber, probiotics, food, lifestyle, supplements and testing.

In this episode, we cover:

- IBS-C vs. IBS-D

- Constipation & bloating

- Common gut triggers

- Gluten, celiac disease & dairy

- Artificial sweeteners & ingredients

- Why gut issues are so common

- Rising colorectal cancer rates in younger adults

- Colon cancer prevention & warning signs

- Fiber, probiotics & supplements

#172: Parasites have become one of the biggest conversations in wellness— but how much of it is actually legitimate, and where has the internet taken it way too far? This week we're joined by Kim Rogers, aka the Worm Queen.

We get into how common parasites actually are, what happens in the body when someone gets one, and the most common (and most surprising) ways people are exposed. Then we dig into the symptoms — bloating, fatigue, skin issues, cravings, even teeth grinding — that get blamed on parasites online, and which of those are actually legitimate versus wildly overhyped.

We also cover parasite cleanses: who actually needs one, what red flags to watch for, and the truth about "die-off" symptoms. Kim walks us through her ParaFy protocol, what was missing from the products already on the market, and how to know if an approach like this is right for you.

Finally, we get into the everyday stuff — sushi, washing produce, pets, travel — and how concerned you should actually be about each one.

Here's what we get into:

• How common parasites actually are, and what a parasite even is
• How people actually get exposed (and the myths around it)
• Symptoms that might indicate a parasite — and which ones are wildly overblown online
• How parasites are tested and confirmed
• Who actually needs a parasite cleanse, and the red flags to watch for
• Should you have sushi?
• The truth about "die-off" symptoms
• Kim's ParaFy protocol — what's in it, why, and how to know if it's right for you
• Everyday risk: sushi, produce washing, hygiene, travel, and pets
• The 3 things Kim wishes everyone would do differently after this episode

This week's Sister Solo is a full life update. We're getting into why the lack of an AM/PM routine is genuinely messing with us right now, coming out of seasonal depression, why dating is HARD, and the very real struggle of feeling like two different people depending on whether we're at work or at home (if you know, you know).

We're also breaking down what's actually worth your attention in wellness right now — a new peanut butter ice cream for bears launch we can't stop talking about, AG1's new gummies, gluten-free Goldfish, a major acquisition in the better-for-you snack space, a beverage brand leaving the market, an electrolyte launch worth knowing about, and a wild new wearable that tracks blood flow to your head.

This week we're joined by Dr. Antonia — she holds a Master's in Neuroscience and a Doctorate of Chiropractic, and takes a truly holistic approach to how she treats patients. We get into why chiropractic care is about so much more than cracking your back, and spend the bulk of this conversation on the nervous system — how it connects to chiropractic care, why regulation tools don't work if your nervous system is still dysregulated, and what daily practices actually help.

We also cover the corporate-desk-job reality most of us are living in — posture, tech neck, and what to actually do about the toll of staring at a screen all day. And we get into hormones, metabolic health, and a few tools Dr. Antonia swears by, including red light therapy and cranial work.

If you've ever tried a breathing exercise or a meditation app and felt like "this isn't working for me," this episode explains why — and what actually helps.

Here's what we get into:

• Why a chiropractor is more than just someone who cracks your back
• What to actually look for when choosing a chiropractor
• The real benefits of consistent adjustments — including how it can improve sleep & anxiety
• How to protect your posture and health at a desk job
• Tech neck — what it's actually doing to your spine and what to do about it
• How the nervous system and chiropractic care are connected
• Why regulation tools don't work on a dysregulated nervous system
• Daily practices that actually help regulate your nervous system
• Tools to maintain regulation once you've gotten there
• The connection between anxiety and physical pain — and how to recognize it
• Why metabolic efficiency matters and how to support it (including how you eat and walking after meals)
• The upper cervical spine — what to know
• Red light therapy — why Dr. Antonia uses it
• Cranial work — what it is and why she uses it as a treatment

Semi Rapid Fire:

• Who Dr. Antonia follows for health inspiration
• Her one tool for nervous system regulation, if she could only pick one
• Shoe recommendations from a chiropractor's perspective
• Book recommendations for nervous system regulation
• What to look for in a pillow

This week we're sitting down with Anna Rinke, Co-founder of Homebody Studios, for a conversation that covers SO much.

We get into what burnout actually felt like for her before anyone else could see it, the delusion it takes to build something from nothing, and the advice she'd give any woman who looks successful on paper but knows deep down she's unhappy. We also dig into how Homebody actually came together, what building a real brand (not just a studio) looks like, and the boundaries she's had to build for herself now that work no longer comes before everything else.

Anna has also become a real force online when it comes to AI education, so we get into what people are getting wrong about it, how to actually start using it if you're only using it like a fancier Google search, and how she uses it to level up her own life.

We close out talking about what she's reading, watching, and listening to right now — the books that changed her life, the podcasts making her smarter, and the people whose brains she's obsessed with.

Here's what we get into:

• Anna's path from corporate to founding Homebody
• What burnout looked like for her before anyone else could see it
• Advice for the woman who's successful on paper but knows she's unhappy
• The delusion it takes to build something successful
• How Homebody actually came together — and why she saw room in a saturated market
• The difference between opening a studio and building a brand
• What real community actually looks like
• Her take on the pilates vs. weightlifting debate
• The health and fitness non-negotiables she lives by now
• How she became an AI education force online — and what people are getting wrong
• Practical tips for using AI in your workplace and your personal life
• The books, podcasts, and people who've shaped how she thinks
• What she's currently obsessed with, reading, and consuming

Our friend Tim, CEO of Ice Cream for Bears, is back on the show! This time, we’re skipping the formal interview and just having a good old-fashioned friend chat — and somehow, we ended up talking about everything.

We’re getting into dating, making friends in a new city, learning not to take yourself so seriously, and the male perspective on cosmetic injections (because we obviously had to hear Tim’s take 👀).

We also dive into holistic health vs. Western medicine, what Jenna actually does in the functional health world, muscle testing, and what it’s like to run an ice cream company as a CEO.

And, of course, we saved the biggest news for the episode…

This week's episode is a real one. We're getting into the biggest life update we've had in a long time — Jill's Lyme disease — and everything that's come with it. The symptoms, the process of getting answers, what we're learning, how we're navigating it, and the honest reality of what it's like to be dealing with a chronic health situation while also going through massive life transitions.

Because on top of all of it, we're finally moving into our own separate one-bedroom apartments after 5 years of living together. And, of course, nothing has gone perfectly. The moving debacle deserves its own segment (spoiler: it did not go smoothly).

We're also catching up on our usual segments — Practitioner's Corner, Current Ins, and life updates — because life doesn't pause even when things get hard.

Here's what we get into:

- Jill's Lyme diagnosis — how it started, what led us to test, and what the process has been like

- What Jill is doing right now to support her healing

- The emotional side of a chronic diagnosis and how we're both processing it as sisters

- Moving into our own apartments after 5 years — the good, the bad, and the "why is nothing going right" of it all

- Practitioner's Corner

- Current Ins — what we're loving right now

- Life updates and how we're both holding up through all of it

In this Sister Solo, Jenna walks through the 5 pillars that finally healed her after years of chronic gut issues, inflammation, bloating, hormonal acne, and feeling like sh*t no matter what she tried.

If you've been doing all the "right" wellness things — eating clean, drinking water, taking supplements — and you still feel exhausted, bloated, or stuck in your body, this episode is for you.

Jenna and Jill get real about Jenna's 2019-2023 era — the symptoms she normalized, the all-or-nothing trap that made her sicker, and the moment she realized the answer wasn't more restriction. It was less.

We walk through the exact 5-pillar framework that changed everything — including the pillar nobody in wellness wants to talk about.

In this episode:

• Jenna's "before" era: the symptoms she normalized that weren't normal
• The all-or-nothing wellness trap and how it made her sicker
• Pillar 1: Drainage — the foundation nobody talks about
• Pillar 2: Gut health — and why probiotics aren't the answer
• Pillar 3: Metabolic health — and why undereating is making women sicker
• Pillar 4: Strength training — the day everything changed
• Pillar 5: Curating a slower, intentional, balanced life — the pillar nobody talks about
• The toxic friend audit
• What every woman feeling stuck in her body needs to hear
