In this episode we chat with Meg Gerber, Gut Health Dietitian & JUJ Bitters Cofounder, about her Sober Curious journey and how her intentional relationship with alcohol impacted her healing journey and launched a whole new entrepreneurial business.Meg Gerber RD, LDN, IFNCP, CGN is a Functional Medicine Dietitian, Breath Work & Meditation Teacher and Founder of Grounded Nourishment (a private virtual nutrition practice). She is also the co-founder of JÜJ Digestive Bitters. Meg specializes in supporting those struggling with chronic digestive issues via a holistic approach that goes beyond the individualized nutrition to acknowledge the “elephant” in everyone's room - STRESS. Stress can lead to a broken digestive system. While 'we are what we eat' is a common refrain in the nutrition world, Meg expands this statement by instead standing by ‘‘We are what we DIGEST and ABSORB'. This foundational pillar of her practice and health philosophy lead her to prioritize tools that go beyond the food alone to optimize digestion like mindful eating, mealtime breath work and bitters. It was only natural then, that she curated JÜJ, a uniquely formulated, gluten free digestive bitters that optimizes digestion while also bringing more joy to the social experience of sober curiosity and drinking.  Links: Veri Continuous Glucose Monitor: Code "VSM-YBHYB" for a discount at checkoutBiokult Probiotic: Code "YBHYB20" for a discount at checkoutJUJ BittersInstagram @JUJBittersJillian:Jillian Greaves Functional Nutrition & Wellness WebsiteEat To Heal Your Hormones ProgramPCOS Root Reversal ProgramTake the PCOS Root Cause QuizInstagramAbby:Above Health Nutrition WebsiteNourished Gut Guide (NGG)Instagram

In this episode, dietitian Gayatri discusses the importance of addressing root causes for optimal health. A little bit about Gayatri: Gayatri Saldivar, MS, RDN, CLT, IFNCP is an expert in the art and science of lab-based protocol design to help clients achieve whole-body wellness. Integrating the Kalish method and the science of nutritional genomics into her work, she named her practice 23 Nutrition Therapy. She is certified in Lifestyle Eating And Performance (LEAP) therapy and customizes anti-inflammation and elimination diets.  In this episode, she emphasizes the gut hormone detox connection and how it can lead to symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, sleep issues, and gut problems. Saldivar shares her approach of comprehensive root cause analysis and testing to help clients rebalance stress hormones, heal the gut lining, and support detoxification for sustainable wellness. The episode also explores various testing methods, including gut testing, hormone testing, conventional lab work, and micronutrient testing, as well as the significance of personalized nutrition and lifestyle changes. Practical tips are provided to support gut healing, hormone balance, and detox pathways, while debunking diet misconceptions. Key Points:  • Comprehensive testing is crucial in identifying imbalances in stress hormones, gut health, and detoxification.  • Correcting the gut hormone detox connection in the right order can lead to significant progress in healing and overall well-being. • Detox pathways are evaluated, with a specific emphasis on liver function and glutathione levels. • A clear and structured plan is developed to address specific concerns in a phased approach. • Misconceptions exist on both extremes: thinking diet alone can solve everything or dismissing diet as unrelated to health problems. • Struggling with gut breakdown due to a poor diet but still wanting to consume trigger foods or drinks creates a disconnect. • Quick wins for gut, hormone, and detox health include focusing on chewing food properly and ensuring adequate protein intake.   Whether you're looking to enhance your understanding of your own health or seeking guidance to support others on their health journey, this episode has something for everyone.

IBS Case Study Ever wonder how a functional dietitian could help heal gut dysfunction? The microbiome is considered the powerhouse of our health, and when there is an imbalance of good commensal bacteria, your digestive health is likely to be compromised. Interestingly, Most of our GI-focused clients come to us as a last-ditch effort to find relief from chronic intestinal symptoms that may have been previously diagnosed by a gastroenterologist (IBS, SIBO, Crohn's, etc.). While the diagnosis is important, it is vital to know that the root cause of diagnosis might not be addressed and your symptoms may still be a hinderance - this is where a functional dietitian comes in. The benefits of working with a functional dietitian to help you heal your gut would include: Bioindividuality: we collect detailed information at intake to identify root causes and create an individualized nutrition care plan and support for your digestion. Functional stool tests to analyze the entire microbiome of the digestive system Supplemental support Vagal toning to improve the communication between the nervous system and digestive system. We are so excited to use this podcast episode as an opportunity to explain our clinical and functional approach to IBS. Join us for a case study with Erin Skinner, MS, RD, IFNCP as she discusses her two-phased approach for IBS symptoms and how it helped Susie have a successful recovery from IBS.

In this episode, I got to speak with Katie from the Homesteading RD over on Instagram. She shares an immense amount of super valuable content and knowledge about all areas of homesteading. I love following her for her insight on real food and functional medicine. We talk all about the broken medical system as it pertains to nutrition and recovery from illness. We also talk about how to get started making the switch to real food. This was such a valuable and real conversation, you don't want to miss it. Katie Krejci, MS, RD, LD, IFNCP is a dietitian and homesteader for over 10 years. She and her husband have 5 acres in central Minnesota and love living a self-sufficient lifestyle. They have several large gardens and raise chickens for both eggs and meat. What they don't produce ourselves, they like to source from other local small farms as much as possible. Her passion is teaching others how to become more self-sufficient in easy, sustainable steps. Her background as a dietitian has been an interesting one. She started out thinking her passion was in clinical nutrition working in large, metro hospitals. Over the years, she came to realize how broken our health system is and how much damage has been done to our bodies. Conventional medicine is too focused on treating rather than healing. She finally made the switch to functional nutrition in 2021 and loves the ability to help her clients correct their health issues from the root cause. Getting back to the basics and focusing on real food really is the way forward. You can find Katie on Instagram at @thehomesteadingrd or on her blog at https://thehomesteadingrd.com/

Why is eating healthy so confusing? Many times we don't know where to start or if we do start and pick a plan, we are then told this way of eating is out and some new diet is best. Wading through the mountain of information online leads to even more confusion as we find ourselves asking: is gluten bad, what kind of dairy is good for you, what's the deal with natural or unrefined sugars? In this episode, Seth is joined by Taylor Morgan to discuss what functional nutrition is and how to use it to bring clarity to your food choices. Taylor is a certified physician's assistant who also has her bachelor's degree in nutritional science. She discovered her passion for functional medicine at the beginning of her dietetics career, after using a functional approach to overcome hormonal imbalances, digestive complications, and thyroid issues. Taylor describes herself as a lifelong learner and is dedicated to staying up to date with the latest evidence-based research in order to provide the best possible care for her patients. She has completed coursework through the University of Arizona and the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine. She is an integrative and functional nutrition certified practitioner (IFNMT) and is currently undergoing certification to become an Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) certified practitioner. Taylor currently practices in Fort Worth, Texas at Taylor Dukes Wellness In this episode, Seth and Taylor discuss: How Taylor used diet and nutrition to treat her digestive issues How to use food as medicine Why what is optimal for your body right now and what's optimal for your body long term can be two different things How functional nutrition plans are individualized and personalized Why it is important to keep your stress levels low when it comes to following a food plan What is blood sugar dysregulation and what are the long-term effects of uncontrolled insulin levels? Where to find hidden sugar on processed food labels How cocaine and sugar are similar Who should avoid gluten? Tips for ordering gluten-free at a restaurant How dairy impacts autoimmune diseases Why food sensitivities can create a delayed inflammatory response Taylor's health tip: The first thing you should drink in the morning is water.  Staying hydrated throughout the day is essential to great health.
