50. 20 Hidden Ways Your Body Is Screaming for Health

There is no shortage of “healthy eating” advice out there, but most of it is built around convenience, marketing, and confusion rather than what the body actually needs. In this episode, Lisa walks you through exactly what she eats in a day and why. Not as a rigid plan to follow, but as a real-life example of how to support gut health, reduce inflammation, and stay energized without overcomplicating things. From morning habits and hydration to protein intake, fermented foods, and simple meals, Lisa explains how small daily choices add up to big changes. She also breaks down common mistakes people make with “healthy” foods, why certain habits lead to weight gain or cravings, and how to start paying attention to what your body is actually telling you. This episode is a reminder that you are not a victim of what’s on your fork. You are in control, and your daily habits matter more than any trend. In this episode, Lisa explores: * What a real day of eating looks like for gut health and energy * Why hydration and electrolytes are foundational * How protein, fermented foods, and timing impact your body * The truth about “healthy” packaged foods and hidden inflammation * Why you are always in control of what you eat Key Moments 00:00 – Lisa introduces how small symptoms are early warning signs from the body 03:12 – The idea that “little signs” build into bigger health issues 07:45 – Real-life examples of ignored symptoms turning into diagnoses 12:30 – The connection between nutrient deficiencies and chronic issues 17:58 – How everything ties back to gut health and absorption 24:10 – Final takeaway: your body is always communicating, you just have to listen FREE GUT ANALYSIS CALL 🎁 Schedule your free gut analysis call with me!

49. Your Skin Isn’t a Surface Problem — It’s an Inside Job

Your skin is not a surface problem. It is a reflection of what is happening inside your body. In this episode, Lisa Garrett breaks down the truth about skin health and why chasing products, treatments, and expensive routines often misses the mark. Instead of focusing on what to put on your skin, she shifts the conversation to what is happening internally, from gut health and stress to nutrient deficiencies and daily habits. Lisa walks through the biggest factors that impact your skin, including chronic stress, elevated cortisol, low fat intake, and inflammation. She explains how these show up as acne, rosacea, dryness, and dull skin, and why true healing starts from within. This episode is a reset. A reminder that glowing skin is not about more products. It is about supporting your body so it can do what it is designed to do naturally. In this episode, Lisa explores: * Why your skin is a reflection of your internal health * The connection between gut health and skin issues * How stress and cortisol break down collagen * The role of healthy fats, nutrients, and hydration * Simple ways to support real skin health from the inside out Key Moments 00:00 – Lisa opens with why skin health starts internally, not with products 03:23 – The connection between gut health and visible skin issues 07:59 – Inflammation and how it shows up on your skin 13:46 – Why topical solutions alone don’t fix the root problem 20:08 – Foods and nutrients that support real skin repair 27:21 – Final takeaway: glowing skin starts with what you put inside your body FREE GUT ANALYSIS CALL 🎁 Schedule your free gut analysis call with me!
