Welcome back to Gut Talk! If you're new here - hi, we're so happy to have you.
This week we are getting real about where we’re at in life - dating in your late 20s, the pressure to "have it all together," and how social media has totally distorted how we view beauty, confidence, and success.
We talk about:

- Why turning 28 and 30 has actually felt like the start of our glow-up
- Building confidence without changing your face (or breaking the bank)

If you’ve ever felt behind, overwhelmed, or not “enough,” this episode is the deep, reassuring chat you didn’t know you needed. From skincare to soul work—this one’s for the girls in the messy middle.
Let’s get into it.

Welcome back to Gut Talk! If you're new here - hi, we're so happy to have you.
In this episode we sat down with functional nutritionist Micaela Riley (@bebalancedbymicaela) to talk about everything women need to hear about gut health, hormones, metabolism, and why so many are still feeling off - even when doing "all the right things."
Micaela opens up about her own journey of feeling dismissed by doctors, struggling with symptoms like hair loss, weight gain, acne, and burnout - only to later build a thriving wellness practice helping women get real answers.
We cover:
- The biggest mistakes women make when trying to “get healthy”
- Why 1,200-calorie diets and endless cardio aren’t working
- Over-supplementation and how it might be hurting your liver
- Mikayla’s glowy skin routine (and her take on the sunscreen debate!)
If you’ve ever felt dismissed, confused, or like something’s still not right, this one’s for you!

In this episode, we are sitting down for an honest, energizing conversation about what the past year of going through breakups and being single has looked like for both of us — and why it’s been one of the most transformative seasons of our lives.
We reflect on how being on our own has allowed us to reconnect with our intuition, raise our standards, and pour into our own energy like never before. This one’s all about celebrating the growth that happens when you're not in a relationship — and how that wholeness becomes the foundation for anything that comes next.
We chat about:
Why being single can be the best thing ever for yourselfHow we’ve deepened our relationship with ourselvesThe routines, mindset shifts, and rituals that helped us healDating with higher standardsThe freedom, clarity, and confidence that came from being on our ownWhether you're newly single, long-term solo, or just craving a deeper connection with yourself — this episode will meet you where you’re at.

In this episode, we’re joined by the brilliant Dr. Tim Spector—Professor of Genetic Epidemiology, founder of the renowned TwinsUK study, and co-founder of the science-driven nutrition company ZOE. Known for his groundbreaking research featured in the Netflix documentary Hack Your Health and over 900 published studies, Dr. Spector dives into the fascinating science of the gut microbiome, why identical twins don’t respond the same to food, and how ZOE’s massive nutrition study (published in Nature Medicine) is transforming how we understand personalized health. We unpack the science behind fiber (why he eats 30 different plants a week), what improves or damages your microbiome, and how gut health ties directly to mood, sleep, and metabolic health. Dr. Spector also shares his thoughts on mental well-being, the real issue behind the rise of protein, and offers an early peek at the new Processed Food Risk Scale. If you’re looking to go beyond basic nutrition advice and get into the real science of food, microbes, and health, this is the episode for you.

Dr. Fleishmann is the author of The Second Mouth: One Woman's Journey to Decode a Hidden Language for a New Era of Women’s Health, where she challenges misconceptions and empowers women to reclaim control of their bodies.

BABY WE ARE BACK! In this episode, we talk about the chaos of January, what our plans are to make GUT TALK better than ever, upcoming projects like Jenna’s launch of the 2nd round of TRACT (a 3 month program with her friend, Grayce) and the start of Jenna’s CN-P program.

We dive into the vital role of gut health, sleep, stress management, and diet in strengthening your immune system, emphasizing that immunity is about more than just avoiding sickness—it's connected to conditions like food allergies, IBS, chronic fatigue, and autoimmunity.
