You asked, I'm answering. 🎙️

In this episode, I'm answering some of the health and wellness questions I get asked ALL the time—from supplements and cortisol to bloating, acne, coffee, protein, birth control, and more.

We're keeping this one conversational and straight to the point. No overcomplicating wellness, no telling you that you need 15 supplements, and no pretending there's one perfect answer that works for everyone.

In this episode, we're talking about:

• If I could only choose a few supplements, what would they be?
• How do you actually know if your cortisol is high?
• Is it normal to be bloated every day?
• Does hormonal acne automatically mean your hormones are imbalanced?
• Is coffee actually bad for your hormones?
• How much protein do women really need?
• My thoughts on hormonal birth control
• Do you need electrolytes every day?
• Are probiotics actually worth taking?
• Should you eat before a morning workout?
• Which wellness trends I wouldn't waste money on
• The health habits I think are completely underrated

This episode is your reminder that health doesn't need to be as complicated as the internet makes it seem. Symptoms are clues, context matters, and more supplements, more restriction, and more wellness rules aren't always the answer.

Consider this your rapid-fire health Q&A with a functional medicine practitioner who wants you to understand your body—not become obsessed with optimizing every second of your life.
