What’s Really Wrecking Your Digestion & Cycle: Gut Health with Dr. Ashley de Luna

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2536756/fan_mail/new] Have you tried elimination diets, cut out countless foods, and done random internet cleanses, only to find yourself still dealing with uncomfortable bloating, irregular periods and gut issues? In this episode, we sit down with licensed naturopathic doctor, yoga instructor, and women's health expert, Dr. Ashley de Luna. Dr. de Luna shares her personal journey navigating severe gut issues from her earlier days as a vegetarian to medical school, and reveals why the secret to her healing wasn't a restrictive vegan diet—it was regulating her nervous system.   We pull back the curtain on how the gut acts as our "second brain" and why true digestive wellness must start with a safe, grounded nervous system. Dr. de Luna breaks down the physiology of the vagus nerve and explains why eating while stressed prevents your body from properly releasing digestive enzymes. You will learn direct, actionable strategies to shift your body out of "fight or flight" and into a "rest and digest" state. We also touch on parasites, mold, leaky gut, and hormones, for a holistic conversation on gut health for women.

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2536756/fan_mail/new] Is it actually possible to avoid microplastics in a world where they seem to be everywhere? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Megan Wolff, the Executive Director of the Physician and Scientist Network Addressing Plastics and Health (P-SNAP), to demystify the noise around plastic pollution. Dr. Wolff shares the research that has been done around microplastics and explains the difference between particle effects and chemical effects, revealing why the real danger often lies in the 16,000+ synthetic chemicals used to make plastic—many of which are known neurotoxicants and hormone disruptors.  We dive deep into the most impactful, easy swaps you can make today, specifically in the kitchen and your beauty routine. Dr. Wolff shares why you should ditch the non-stick pans for cast iron, the truth behind ‘microwave-safe’ labels, and how to tell if your laundry detergent is actually fragrance-free.  I’m excited for you to hear her tips—because the impact of microplastics are real, but there are some super simple and easy things we can do, to reduce our exposure and keep ourselves healthy. This conversation is not about fear-mongering; it’s about giving you the agency to make informed decisions for your family's long-term well-being.

Tools for Mental Health, Anxiety and Grief with Dr. Tash

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2536756/fan_mail/new] What happens when a psychologist who specializes in helping families through with mental health suddenly finds herself on the other side of the table? In this episode, Dr. Natasha Poulopoulos (known as Dr. Tash) shares her deeply personal journey of losing her father to glioblastoma. We dive into the eerie quiet that follows a medical battle, anticipatory grief, and the science of the grieving brain.   We also tackle the vast world of mental health and regulation. Dr. Tash explains why thoughts aren’t facts and how we can use cognitive diffusion to separate our identity from our anxious feelings. We discuss the critical difference between having a hard moment and having a clinical disorder, highlighting the power of behavioral activation—like movement and greenery—to shift our physiology and help us move through emotions in as little as 90 seconds.
