Could your fatigue, bloating, or random skin rashes be more than “just stress” or IBS? You might be shocked to learn they could actually be signs of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or even colon cancer — yes, it’s possible without having obvious digestive symptoms.

It’s unfortunately common to discover that you have Crohn’s or ulcerative colitis in your 60s, and not because of gut issues… but during a routine colonoscopy screening. Others are misdiagnosed for years while battling brain fog, thyroid problems, skin issues like psoriasis, vitiligo, eczema, or even unexplained anemia — all while the real problem quietly worsens.

I’m joined by Dr. Ilana Gurevich, a naturopathic gastroenterologist who specializes in complex GI disorders. We dive into the hidden signs of IBD, how it differs from IBS, sneaky signs of colon cancer (especially with skyrocketing rates), and the TRUTH about colonoscopies – why you should absolutely stop putting it off and never use a stool test for gut health as a replacement.

If you’ve been brushed off, gaslit, or still searching for answers, you don’t want to miss this.

Is Tylenol really safe?

With all the dramatic discussions online about acetaminophen, autism, and potential side effects (that include liver failure risks), my clients have been asking my opinion. The truth is somewhere in the middle because, as with anything – over-the-counter medications like this, herbs or even nutritional supplements – there are pros and cons.

Nothing is risk–free.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what acetaminophen does in your body, what it depletes (super important!), stats on side effects, and what to consider before reaching for it—plus some supportive options and cleaner alternatives.

Have you tried maca root for perimenopause, menopause, manopause (low T), adrenal fatigue, or hormone imbalances and felt like it didn’t work—or even made things worse? While it’s often marketed as a universal hormone balancer, not all maca is created equal. Different types of maca root affect the body in very different ways, so using the wrong kind can actually worsen symptoms triggering anxiety, acne, or energy crashes.

In this episode, Dr. Deanna Minich, PhD—nutrition scientist and educator —returns to unpack the science behind maca’s many forms. With over 20 years of experience in both academia and the natural health industry, Dr. Minich shares…

🤔Why not all maca root supplements work the same way

⭐️Best type of maca for perimenopause and menopause

😬How store-bought maca blends can worsen symptoms (beware if you’re just adding it to a smoothie or making maca balls)

🎉Tips to choose an effective maca supplement

Before you buy another bag of maca root powder or maca supplements, here’s what you need to know to choose the right type for your hormonal needs.
