Functional Health Q&A: Why You’re Constantly Bloated, the Truth About Supplements, and Navigating My Biggest Health Challenge

EPISODE #57 — SEPT 12, 2025

In this Q&A episode, I’m answering your questions while I wait for baby boy’s arrival. I share how holistic and functional practitioners differ from doctors and specialists, how I’m prepping for birth and postpartum, and how to tell if your fatigue is hormonal or something else. I also open up about my biggest personal health challenge, what’s most commonly behind daily bloating, and whether your supplements are actually worth the money. If you’ve ever wondered what holistic health really looks like in practice (or you’re curious about the behind-the-scenes of my own health and pregnancy), this episode is packed with insights.
