#160  - From Chronically Ill to Thriving: The Wellness Comeback Story You Need to Hear with Amy Kurtz, Author of Kicking Sick What happens when your body becomes the thing holding you back from living your life? In this episode of The Pretty Well Podcast, I'm joined by Amy Kurtz—author, speaker, and wellness warrior who's turned her own experience with chronic illness into a powerful mission to help others heal. We're talking about what it really takes to live well with invisible illness, how to become your own best advocate, and why your symptoms aren't “just in your head” (even if you've been told that one too many times). Amy shares the mindset shifts, do-able practices, and functional wellness tools that helped her go from barely surviving to thriving. If you've ever felt gaslit, overwhelmed, or just plain exhausted by the medical system, this conversation will feel like a deep breath and a power-up all at once. Because healing isn't linear—but it is possible. You don't have to settle for “you'll just have to live with it.”   More About Amy Kurtz: Facing debilitating pain and health issues since her teenage years, patient advocate and author Amy Kurtz well knows the frustration, fear and isolation that comes with chronic illness.  She wrote the bestselling book Kicking Sick as a reader guide to managing debilitating conditions and living fully. A distinct voice in the health space, Amy's work has been heralded by Mark Hyman,  Deepak Chopra, Kris Carr and more. Lena Dunham named Kicking Sick one of her “top 10 desert island books of all time” in NY MAG.  She has appeared in Oprah, as well as on Good Morning America several times, and Fox. Amy's second book, “But You Look Fine, Trapped in the Hell between Sick and Well and how to Break Free” is due out from Hachette in Spring 2026.  LInks & Resources: Website: https://amykurtz.com/ Social: https://www.instagram.com/_amykurtz https://www.facebook.com/amykurtzauthor   Amy's Book: *Kicking Sick: Your Go-To Guide for Thriving with Chronic Health Conditions https://amzn.to/4ixOQOd  *As An Amazon Associate I Earn A Small Commission From Qualifying Purchases At No Extra Cost To You*   Join the conversation: Share your thoughts with us on social media or in the comments!

#159 - Can You Really Get Rid of Cellulite Naturally? These 5 Natural Fixes Actually Work Cellulite: it's not dangerous, but it's definitely frustrating—and it's not just about age, weight, or genetics. In this episode of Pretty Well, we're breaking down what cellulite really is (hint: it's more about collagen, detoxification, and circulation than you think) and what you can actually do to reduce its appearance—no overpriced creams or painful liposuction packages required.  We'll talk about the root causes from a functional medicine lens, including inflammation, lymphatic stagnation, hormonal shifts, and nutrient deficiencies, plus how to support your skin from the inside out. You'll learn how to improve collagen integrity, support detox pathways, and why **HIIT workouts, hydration, dry skin brushing, and specific supplements** can make a real difference. And, I'm sharing my favorite anti-cellulite supplement with you - the one I personally use. Let me tell you, they're not all created equal. And no, you don't need to survive on celery juice or invest in cryotherapy leggings. Just strategic, sustainable changes that actually work. If you're ready to ditch the dimples (or at least quiet them down), this episode is your go-to cellulite game plan—no shame, no Spanx required.   LInks & Resources: Journal Article: Clinical trial of a natural and bioactive melon SuperOxide Dismutase (SOD B Dimpless®) on cellulite; Lemaire, Le Quere, Simoneau, Lacane; Journal:Phytotherapie https://www.robertet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/WhitePaper_Dimpless_NewScientificEvidences_Robertet.pdf Pretty Well Episode #85: The Hateful 8 is Wrecking Your Health.

#157  - Is It Really Just “Normal Aging”? The Hidden Hormonal Imbalances Wrecking Your Energy, Weight, & Youthfulness with Dr Prudence Hall   Ever been told that your weight gain, brain fog, and exhaustion are just “part of getting older”? Yeah, no. In this episode, I sit down with renowned hormone expert Dr. Prudence Hall to talk about why so many women are struggling through perimenopause and menopause—and why it doesn't have to be that way.   Dr. Hall, a gynecological surgeon turned regenerative and functional medicine expert, shares the biggest myths about midlife and menopause, the truth about bioidentical hormones, and why so many women in perimenopause and menopause are failed by conventional medicine. We dive into hormonal imbalances, how they affect weight, sleep, mood, beauty, and energy, and—most importantly—how to rebalance your body so you can look and feel amazing again.   If you're tired of being told “it's just aging,” this episode will change everything.  

Welcome back to Day 2 of the Hormone Real Talk Bootcamp! If you've ever wondered why your energy is up and down and if your stress is REALLY affecting you negatively...this one is for you!In this episode, I'm sharing the link between low energy and hormone imbalances: stress. Chronic stress puts the body in "survival mode" where it prioritizes stress hormones over sex hormones, leading to issues like low progesterone. Blood sugar imbalance can also trigger cortisol spikes and leave us feeling drained.The good news is nourishment can help reset this cycle.

I sit down with Jessica Rose—certified nutritionist, licensed cosmetologist, and holistic beauty expert—to unpack the truth about the beauty ingredients your skin craves and why your “anti-aging” serum might be aging you faster.

We talk about powerful clean beauty ingredients, the surprising benefits of face workouts (yep, your face needs exercise, too), and how to age beautifully without losing your mind (or your budget).
