What do you do when you need to create some data but you haven't built out the UI for that data yet? A seeder is a great approach, but is it always the right one? In the latest episode of the No Compromises podcast, we dive into a real project where starting with the most complex feature made test data management painful. Instead of exploding the complexity of our seeders, we built a minimal UI to manage test data. We also talk about some other unexpected benefits, and talk through the trade-offs and why detours like this should feel uncomfortable (and be tightly scoped).(00:00) - Starting deep exposes messy user permutations (02:45) - Seeder explosion vs. a minimal UI (03:45) - Reframing the “detour” after using it (05:30) - Why the mini-UI helped: faster iteration, fewer seed resets (07:45) - Dogfooding + tester debugging benefits (08:00) - Guardrails: detours should feel uneasy and stay tight (09:00) - Silly bit Need help on your Laravel project?

Symptoms like... Bloating, fatigue, constipation.Skin issues like acne or eczema.Hormonal symptoms like PMS or mood swings.Or mystery symptoms your doctors can't find a cause for.

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin explores the fascinating link between dietary habits and sleep quality, particularly nightmares. Discussing a recent study published in Frontiers in Psychology, Leyla explains how consuming certain foods, especially late at night, can influence dream patterns. Foods like sweets, dairy, and allergens such as gluten and lactose were found to have significant effects on sleep disturbances. She emphasizes healthy eating habits, particularly avoiding food allergens and late-night eating, and suggests practical tips for improving sleep quality. Leyla also touches on how cultural beliefs and anecdotal evidence support the scientific findings, providing a comprehensive overview of how diet can directly affect dream content and sleep health.

Think bloating is just about what you eat? Think again. In this episode of The Happy Hormones Coach Podcast, I share why bloating in perimenopause often has more to do with hormone shifts, stress, sluggish digestion, and water retention than it does with gluten or dairy. You'll learn the hidden triggers that keep you feeling puffy — even when your diet is “perfect” — and why over-restricting foods can actually make bloating worse. I'll walk you through practical, hormone-friendly strategies to support digestion, reduce water retention, and calm your nervous system so you can feel lighter and more comfortable without cutting out all your favorite foods.

If your energy is constantly drained, the scale won't budge no matter what you try, or your gut feels like it's staging a daily rebellion—your hormones could be the hidden culprit. In this episode, I sit down with functional medicine expert Dr. Betty Murray to unpack how perimenopause, hormone metabolism, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) play a much bigger role in our health than most of us are told. We get into the real reasons behind chronic fatigue, weight loss resistance, bloating, brain fog, and IBS—and why typical lab tests are missing the mark. This conversation is your backstage pass into what's really going on with your metabolism, your mood, and your midsection—and what to do when “normal” labs still leave you feeling off. What You'll Hear in This Episode: • Why perimenopause symptoms can start up to a decade before menopause—and the subtle hormone shift that might explain your energy crashes • The shocking truth about estrogen and breast cancer risk (spoiler: the data may surprise you) • The real reason your hormones might not be working—even if you're on HRT • How hormone metabolism and detoxification are key to healing gut health and resolving symptoms like bloating and IBS Here's Why You'll Want to Hit Play: Most women are only testing their estradiol levels—and missing the bigger picture. In this conversation, Dr. Murray shares why hormone replacement isn't just about putting hormones in… it's about how your body clears them. She also reveals how factors like gut health, inflammation, and adrenal fatigue influence your entire hormone pathway. We talk about the HPATG axis, how cortisol and stress impact your cycle, and why symptoms like constipation, leaky gut, and low progesterone are often overlooked. Plus, we break down the Dutch test, estrogen dominance, and how the right hormone therapy could transform your energy, cognitive health, and even protect your bones. If you're dealing with: Daily fatigue that coffee can't fix Unexplained weight gain and belly fat Bloating, gas, or IBS symptoms that won't go away Brain fog and memory issues that scare you Mood swings, sleep struggles, or crashing energy... ...this episode will give you the “why” behind it all—so you can finally take the right next step.

Today I sat down with someone I admired from afar. I knew not only did I need to sit down with her to have this conversation, but also to experience what I've seen as one of the best results for lymphatic drainage. I share in this conversation how I discovered the importance of the lymphatic system and that was actually because of my dog and also an incredible interview I had a few years ago with an expert about the lymphatic system. Since then I have been conscious of taking care of mine and being mindful of the extra little things we can do to support it. Raena O'Neil is the founder of Lymphatic Organic, specializing in lymphatic drainage techniques and education. She developed the LO Method, a lymphatic drainage technique, and offers online certification courses in it. Her work focuses on detoxifying the body, enhancing immune function, and promoting overall wellness through lymphatic drainage. After our conversation I got to experience it for myself and truly I have to say, there is nothing like it and I felt renewed after it. Trust me when I say, I would have no problem driving 2 hours to have a session with her once a month, which is her recommendation, unlike some others. She wants you to learn how to support your own lymphatic system at home. In this conversation we talk about: The importance of your lymphatic system What makes her method different Why you might be retaining water Common histamine issues What to do before and after drainage massage Balancing your blood sugar Why caster oil is so beneficial and more For full show notes and episode resources head to: https://ericalippy.com/raena-oneil/ Watch episode on YouTube Find our guest at: Raena O'Neil: Website, Instagram Certification Course Follow me on Social Media: Your Host: @ericalippy Podcast: @passionlovepursuit YouTube PASSION LOVE PURSUIT PODCASTS: https://ericalippy.com/the-podcast/

In this encore episode, we detail overlap among intestinal methanogen overgrowth (IMO), hydrogen-dominant small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (H₂-SIBO), and hydrogen sulfide-dominant SIBO (H₂S-SIBO), discussing their mechanistic interactions. We discuss methanogenic archaea, as well hydrogen sulfide- and hydrogen-producing microbes and their contributions to altered gastrointestinal motility, epithelial barrier function, and neuromuscular signaling. We detail host endogenous defense mechanisms, including gastric acid secretion, pancreatic enzymatic activity, bile flow, intestinal motility, and more.Topics:1. Introduction- Overview of intestinal methanogen overgrowth (IMO), hydrogen sulfide-dominant SIBO, and hydrogen-dominant SIBO - Discussion of overlap 2. Intestinal Methanogen Overgrowth (IMO)- Characterized by an overabundance of methane-producing archaea - Methane and intestinal transit- Bloating, abdominal discomfort, constipation - Associated with irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) 3. Overlap Between IMO and SIBO Subtypes- Hydrogen as a substrate for methane and/or hydrogen sulfide production- Shared potential root causes 4. Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) and Protective Mechanisms- The small intestine remains relatively free of bacteria due to protective mechanisms - Gastric acid secretion - Pancreatic enzymes and bile - Intestinal motility- Structural abnormalities 5. Hydrogen-Dominant SIBO - Increased hydrogen and intestinal transit- Potential symptoms, diarrhea, postprandial bloating - Different forms of SIBO can coexist 6. Hydrogen Sulfide-Dominant SIBO - H₂S and intestinal motility- H₂S and intestinal epithelial integrity- Symptoms, associations with IBS diarrhea 7. Host Defense Mechanisms Regulating Microbial Balance- Gastric acid secretion, pancreatic enzyme activity, bile flow, intestinal motility, and more 8. Gastric Acid and Its Role in Microbial Regulation- Parietal cells secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl) and intrinsic factor - Chief cells secrete pepsinogen, conversion into pepsin in acidic conditions - Gastric acid, digestion and antimicrobial defense 9. Hypochlorhydria - Low gastric acid impairs microbial defense- Reduced acidity disrupts digestion and downstream pancreatic enzyme and bile release 10. Pancreatic Enzymes and Their Role in Microbial Regulation- Pancreatic enzymes, digestion, antimicrobial activity - Enzymes modify chyme to limit fermentable substrates that fuel microbial proliferation 11. Intestinal Motility - Coordinated contractions propel food, microbes, and waste through the GI tract - The enteric nervous system (ENS) and gut motility- The myenteric plexus controls peristalsis, while the submucosal plexus regulates secretion and absorption 12. Conclusion- Intestinal methanogen overgrowth (IMO), hydrogen-dominant SIBO, and hydrogen sulfide-dominant SIBO - Overlap in symptoms and microbial interactions - Host defense mechanisms, including gastric acid, pancreatic enzymes, and motility - Intestinal motility and ENS function in microbial homeostasis - Hydrogen sulfide as a gasotransmitterGet Chloe's Book Today!

We've had it wrong! You're not really bloated!! My guest explains what ‘bloated' is … and isn't… How your hormones and gut interface happen and why adding protein might NOT be the thing you need to do right now if you're not really bloated. My Guest: Shefaly Ravula, PA-C, IFMCP is the visionary founder of Precision Gut Health, a virtual telehealth practice on a mission to unlock the secrets of gut health, nutrition and longevity. At the heart of her practice lies a powerful fusion of functional medicine, culinary nutrition, and a profound commitment to digestive and metabolic health optimization. Using a deeply individualized approach, she is dedicated to guiding patients towards a future where gut health and longevity are intricately entwined—and where vibrant health is not just a destination but a lifelong journey. Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:06:57] What is the difference between bloating and distention? [00:20:10] Why stomach acid matters but also why it makes me nervous, as a practitioner? [00:14:44] What is the purpose of an elimination diet and when is it misused or misunderstood? [00:28:03] In terms of hormones, how important is gut health? [00:27:40] Chicken or Egg type of question: Do hormones changing influence gut health or does gut health changing influence hormones? [00:30:17] In terms of gut health and hormones, how important is protein? Bloating vs. Distention? Bloating is a sensation, often tied to hormonal changes, water retention, or constipation. Distension is visible abdominal swelling, often worsening throughout the day. What is Gut Health? Optimal functioning of your entire digestive system, which includes not just your intestines but your stomach acid, enzymes, gallbladder, and liver Fix Your Gut Health, Maybe You're Not Really Bloated Stomach Acid: Essential to digestion. Without enough acid, food isn't properly broken down, which can lead to bloating, distension, and other digestive problems. Hormones: Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can slow down digestion. Estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, and DHEA affect gut motility, inflammation, and the body's ability to detoxify through the digestive tract Protein: With ongoing gut issues, trying to hit high protein goals can add stress to an already compromised digestive system. Timing is key — healing the gut first, then optimizing protein intake for metabolic and hormonal benefits. What is the Elimination Diet? Helps identify food sensitivities or reduce inflammation. Designed to be short-term and therapeutic — not permanent. Elimination diets are often misused. Done wrong, they lead to excessive restriction and fear of reintroduction.

In Day 3 of the Shift with CJ podcast, this episode helps you understand what inflammation really is, the difference between acute and chronic inflammation, how it impacts fat loss and hormones, and what you can start doing today to heal from the inside out.What You'll Learn:What Inflammation Actually Is CJ uses simple metaphors to explain how acute inflammation is a healing signal from the body (like when you stub your toe), while chronic inflammation is like an unwanted houseguest who refuses to leave—and slowly wrecks the place. Chronic inflammation messes with hunger hormones like insulin and leptin, making fat loss harder and hunger constant.Top Causes of InflammationProcessed seed oils (canola, sunflower, peanut)Sugar and its hidden forms (e.g., high fructose corn syrup)Refined carbs (pastries, bread, sugary snacks)AlcoholProcessed meats (bacon, sausages)CJ's Approved Cooking Fats For cooking, switch to stable fats like coconut oil, ghee, or butter. When eating out, ask for food cooked in olive oil or ghee instead of vegetable oils.Foods That Heal Inflammation and Burn Fat Nature has given us plenty of inflammation-fighting, fat-burning foods:Avocados: rich in healthy fats that support metabolismBerries: full of antioxidants that stabilize blood sugarApples & pears: fiber-rich for satietyGrapefruit: helps reduce appetite via GLP-1Sweet potatoes: steady your blood sugarCruciferous veggies (broccoli, cauliflower): loaded with nutrientsChili peppers: boost metabolismWild-caught salmon & fatty fish: loaded with omega-3sApple cider vinegar: improves insulin sensitivityMatcha and green tea: rich in antioxidantsGreek yogurt (if tolerated): supports gut healthNuts like pistachios and macadamias: nutrient-dense, but best kept to 10 per servingKey Takeaways:Inflammation is a signal, not the enemy. Acute inflammation heals. Chronic inflammation harms.What you eat matters. Cooking oils, added sugars, and processed foods are major inflammation triggers.Hormones are involved. Chronic inflammation distorts hunger and fullness signals, making it harder to lose weight.Nature has answers. Whole foods with fiber, antioxidants, and healthy fats can dramatically reduce inflammation.Bloating is a symptom. If you feel gassy, heavy, or inflamed, your gut and metabolism are asking for a reset.5 Things to Start Doing Today:Audit your pantry. Remove seed oils, processed meats, and sugary snacks. Replace them with clean alternatives.Switch your cooking oils. Use ghee, butter, or coconut oil at home and ask restaurants to avoid vegetable oils.Add inflammation-fighting foods to your meals. Aim for at least 3 from CJ's list each day (e.g., berries, salmon, cruciferous veggies).Start your meals with a shot of apple cider vinegar and lemon. Do it 20–30 minutes before eating to stabilize blood sugar.Track what you eat for a few days. Reflect on how foods make you feel—bloating, mood, energy—and start connecting the dots.Final Thought: Inflammation isn't the enemy—it's a signal that your body needs support. Start listening to it, nourishing it, and healing it one choice at a time
