Hi friend, in today’s episode, I’m so excited to welcome my very first podcast guest ✨ Jenn Blair ✨ a board-certified nurse practitioner and functional medicine coach who works with driven, high-achieving women who feel like they’re doing everything right… yet still feel exhausted, bloated, foggy, and burnt out.

Jen and I dive into what’s really going on beneath the surface when ambitious women hit a wall… from chronic stress and gut issues to hormone imbalance and the flaws of conventional “eat less, move more” advice. We talk about why burnout is so common for high performers, how functional medicine looks at the body as a whole, and the small, sustainable shifts that can help you feel back in control of your health without sacrificing your goals.

Plus, stay to the end for our fun rapid-fire wellness questions! There are some sweet, easy, and fun little things you’ll definitely want to steal for your own routine :)
