Ever wondered how much your late-night aches, fatigue, or brain fog tie directly back to your digestive health?

In this episode of Wide Awake and Wondering, host Kristin Mason chats with health coach Regina Polk, founder of The Well Stop. Regina details her journey from a painful rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis to discovering leaky gut syndrome and natural healing protocols.

• What leaky gut actually is and how gap junctions affect your immune system.
• Navigating elimination diets (gluten, dairy, nightshades) without losing your mind.
• How to avoid "supplement burnout" and advocate for yourself with your doctors.
• Managing dietary slip-ups with grace, humor, and self-compassion.

Regina Polk is a certified health coach helping adults overcome chronic gut and inflammation issues through her practice, The Well Stop.
