Some conversations stay with you long after the microphones turn off. In this episode, we're revisiting the advice, mindset shifts, and life lessons from our favorite guests that genuinely inspired us and changed how we approach our health, relationships, and everyday lives. From the WeNatal founders and why preconception health starts long before pregnancy, to Stephanie Criscione's approach to acne and skincare, Dr. Antonia's insights on nervous system regulation, and Mila Magnani's advice on navigating PCOS, we're sharing the health lessons that have stuck with us most. We're also reflecting on Dave Friedberg's reminder that success isn't reserved for special people — it's built by staying curious and continuing to learn. Plus, what we took away from Ice Cream for Bears founder Tim Berg about following your ethos, and our friends Emily and Nada's powerful conversation about resilience and navigating life's challenges. From skincare and cellulite to the importance of staying true to your values and learning how to move through hard seasons, these are the lessons we'd share with our younger selves and our closest friends. Because sometimes, the most meaningful thing we take away from a conversation isn't just new information — it's a shift in perspective that changes how we live.

This week on Gut Talk, we’re getting a little more personal — from our chaotic weekend and things NOT going according to plan, to the reality of building a life as a single woman in your early 30s. We’re also talking about social media and why it’s so important to remember that what you see online is a game, a job, and often a business. Everyone is trying to sell something, so take what resonates, leave what doesn’t, and use your own discernment. Plus: why we think we could all be a little kinder on social media, the pressure to have your life figured out by a certain age, and learning to trust your own timeline. In this episode we chat about: - Why we could all be a little kinder on social media - Remembering that social media is a business - Using your own discernment online - Our weekend: The Chainsmokers, a nada toe, and things not going according to plan - What it’s really like building your life as a single woman in your early 30s - Letting go of the idea that your life has to look a certain way by a certain age - Why your timeline doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s

This week on Gut Talk, we’re sitting down with Gastroenterologist Dr. Sanjana Luther to talk about the gut issues so many women deal with — and the symptoms we’ve been told are “normal” but might deserve a closer look. We’re getting into IBS-C, IBS-D, constipation and bloating, including common triggers, what actually helps, and when it’s time to see a gastroenterologist. We also break down the conversation around gluten, dairy, artificial sweeteners and food sensitivities, plus what Dr. Luther thinks we’re getting wrong about gut health. One of the biggest conversations in this episode is colorectal cancer in younger adults. We talk about why rates are rising, what symptoms to pay attention to, prevention, and what everyone should know about protecting their gut health. Plus, Dr. Luther shares her approach to proactive gut health, including fiber, probiotics, food, lifestyle, supplements and testing. In this episode, we cover: - IBS-C vs. IBS-D - Constipation & bloating - Common gut triggers - Gluten, celiac disease & dairy - Artificial sweeteners & ingredients - Why gut issues are so common - Rising colorectal cancer rates in younger adults - Colon cancer prevention & warning signs - Fiber, probiotics & supplements - Gut health testing - Your most-asked gut health questions If you’ve ever wondered “Is this normal?” when it comes to your gut, this episode is for you. 🤎 This episode is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice.

#172: Parasites have become one of the biggest conversations in wellness— but how much of it is actually legitimate, and where has the internet taken it way too far? This week we're joined by Kim Rogers, aka the Worm Queen. We get into how common parasites actually are, what happens in the body when someone gets one, and the most common (and most surprising) ways people are exposed. Then we dig into the symptoms — bloating, fatigue, skin issues, cravings, even teeth grinding — that get blamed on parasites online, and which of those are actually legitimate versus wildly overhyped. We also cover parasite cleanses: who actually needs one, what red flags to watch for, and the truth about "die-off" symptoms. Kim walks us through her ParaFy protocol, what was missing from the products already on the market, and how to know if an approach like this is right for you. Finally, we get into the everyday stuff — sushi, washing produce, pets, travel — and how concerned you should actually be about each one. Here's what we get into: How common parasites actually are, and what a parasite even isHow people actually get exposed (and the myths around it)Symptoms that might indicate a parasite — and which ones are wildly overblown onlineHow parasites are tested and confirmedWho actually needs a parasite cleanse, and the red flags to watch forShould you have sushi?The truth about "die-off" symptomsKim's ParaFy protocol — what's in it, why, and how to know if it's right for youEveryday risk: sushi, produce washing, hygiene, travel, and petsThe 3 things Kim wishes everyone would do differently after this episode Connect with us: GET A PARAFY PARASITE CLEANSE KIT HERE: Use code GUTTALK for 20% off your order Follow Kim Rogers:  YouTube Tiktok Instagram SPONSORS: Farmer Focus Kion If this episode resonated, share it with a friend who needs to hear it.

This week's Sister Solo is a full life update. We're getting into why the lack of an AM/PM routine is genuinely messing with us right now, coming out of seasonal depression, why dating is HARD, and the very real struggle of feeling like two different people depending on whether we're at work or at home (if you know, you know). We're also breaking down what's actually worth your attention in wellness right now — a new peanut butter ice cream for bears launch we can't stop talking about, AG1's new gummies, gluten-free Goldfish, a major acquisition in the better-for-you snack space, a beverage brand leaving the market, an electrolyte launch worth knowing about, and a wild new wearable that tracks blood flow to your head. Plus, Practitioner's Corner — why water quality actually matters and what we look for in a filter — and our current favorites, all linked for you to shop. Here's what we get into: Why we desperately need an AM/PM routine Coming out of seasonal depression Dating is HARD The Hannah Montana of it all: feeling like two different people at work vs. at home Our Dancing With the Stars hot takes ICFB's new peanut butter launch AG1 gummies Gluten-free Goldfish Purely Elizabeth's acquisition Unwell Beverages leaving the market Truvani's new electrolytes with monk fruit sweetener Lumia — the earrings that track blood flow to your head Practitioner's Corner: why water quality matters (and what we use) Current favorites — all linked on our ShopMy Shop our current favorites: https://shopmy.us/shop/jillandjenna?tab=collections&Section_id=1016140 Connect with us: Follow us on Instagram: @guttalkpodcast EPSIODE SPONSOR: FARMER FOCUS: https://www.farmerfocus.com/store-locator/

This week we're joined by Dr. Antonia — she holds a Master's in Neuroscience and a Doctorate of Chiropractic, and takes a truly holistic approach to how she treats patients. We get into why chiropractic care is about so much more than cracking your back, and spend the bulk of this conversation on the nervous system — how it connects to chiropractic care, why regulation tools don't work if your nervous system is still dysregulated, and what daily practices actually help. We also cover the corporate-desk-job reality most of us are living in — posture, tech neck, and what to actually do about the toll of staring at a screen all day. And we get into hormones, metabolic health, and a few tools Dr. Antonia swears by, including red light therapy and cranial work. If you've ever tried a breathing exercise or a meditation app and felt like "this isn't working for me," this episode explains why — and what actually helps. Here's what we get into: Why a chiropractor is more than just someone who cracks your backWhat to actually look for when choosing a chiropractorThe real benefits of consistent adjustments — including how it can improve sleep & anxietyHow to protect your posture and health at a desk jobTech neck — what it's actually doing to your spine and what to do about itHow the nervous system and chiropractic care are connectedWhy regulation tools don't work on a dysregulated nervous systemDaily practices that actually help regulate your nervous systemTools to maintain regulation once you've gotten thereThe connection between anxiety and physical pain — and how to recognize itWhy metabolic efficiency matters and how to support it (including how you eat and walking after meals)The upper cervical spine — what to knowRed light therapy — why Dr. Antonia uses itCranial work — what it is and why she uses it as a treatment Semi Rapid Fire: Who Dr. Antonia follows for health inspirationHer one tool for nervous system regulation, if she could only pick oneShoe recommendations from a chiropractor's perspectiveBook recommendations for nervous system regulationWhat to look for in a pillowMorning and night routine additions for a healthy body and mindHer best purchase this year Connect with Dr. Antonia: Follow Dr. Antonia on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.antoniadenison/ Follow Dr. Antonia on Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.antoniadenison Work with Dr. Antonia in San Diego: https://wellnesswavechiropractic.janeapp.com/#/staff_member/019fe80b-0c66-797a-a9e6-0fdbd0c4e679 If this episode resonated, share it with a friend who needs to hear it.

This week we're sitting down with Anna Rinke, Co-founder of Homebody Studios, for a conversation that covers SO much. We get into what burnout actually felt like for her before anyone else could see it, the delusion it takes to build something from nothing, and the advice she'd give any woman who looks successful on paper but knows deep down she's unhappy. We also dig into how Homebody actually came together, what building a real brand (not just a studio) looks like, and the boundaries she's had to build for herself now that work no longer comes before everything else. Anna has also become a real force online when it comes to AI education, so we get into what people are getting wrong about it, how to actually start using it if you're only using it like a fancier Google search, and how she uses it to level up her own life. We close out talking about what she's reading, watching, and listening to right now — the books that changed her life, the podcasts making her smarter, and the people whose brains she's obsessed with. Here's what we get into: Anna's path from corporate to founding HomebodyWhat burnout looked like for her before anyone else could see itAdvice for the woman who's successful on paper but knows she's unhappyThe delusion it takes to build something successfulHow Homebody actually came together — and why she saw room in a saturated marketThe difference between opening a studio and building a brandWhat real community actually looks likeHer take on the pilates vs. weightlifting debateThe health and fitness non-negotiables she lives by nowHow she became an AI education force online — and what people are getting wrongPractical tips for using AI in your workplace and your personal lifeThe books, podcasts, and people who've shaped how she thinksWhat she's currently obsessed with, reading, and consuming Connect with Anna: Follow Anna: https://www.instagram.com/annanoellerinke/?hl=en Find Anna on Substack: https://annanoellerinke.substack.com/ Follow Homebody: https://www.instagram.com/homebody__studios/?hl=en If this episode resonated, share it with a friend who needs to hear it. 🍒

Our friend Tim, CEO of Ice Cream for Bears, is back on the show! This time, we’re skipping the formal interview and just having a good old-fashioned friend chat — and somehow, we ended up talking about everything. We’re getting into dating, making friends in a new city, learning not to take yourself so seriously, and the male perspective on cosmetic injections (because we obviously had to hear Tim’s take 👀). We also dive into holistic health vs. Western medicine, what Jenna actually does in the functional health world, muscle testing, and what it’s like to run an ice cream company as a CEO. And, of course, we saved the biggest news for the episode… 🍦 THE NEXT ICE CREAM FOR BEARS FLAVOR IS REVEALED — launching September! It’s a very real, very unfiltered friend conversation with plenty of laughs, opinions, wellness talk, and a little ice cream business insider info along the way.

This week's episode is a real one. We're getting into the biggest life update we've had in a long time — Jill's Lyme disease — and everything that's come with it. The symptoms, the process of getting answers, what we're learning, how we're navigating it, and the honest reality of what it's like to be dealing with a chronic health situation while also going through massive life transitions. Because on top of all of it, we're finally moving into our own separate one-bedroom apartments after 5 years of living together. And, of course, nothing has gone perfectly. The moving debacle deserves its own segment (spoiler: it did not go smoothly). We're also catching up on our usual segments — Practitioner's Corner, Current Ins, and life updates — because life doesn't pause even when things get hard. Here's what we get into: - Jill's Lyme diagnosis — how it started, what led us to test, and what the process has been like - What Jill is doing right now to support her healing - The emotional side of a chronic diagnosis and how we're both processing it as sisters - Moving into our own apartments after 5 years — the good, the bad, and the "why is nothing going right" of it all - Practitioner's Corner - Current Ins — what we're loving right now - Life updates and how we're both holding up through all of it Connect with us: If you're in your own hard season right now, come tell us in the DMs. We see you.

This week we're sitting down with Ronit Menashe and Vida Delrahim — the founders of WeNatal — for a conversation that needs to be had. Both Ronit and Vida went through miscarriages around the same time, and what they discovered through their own fertility journeys completely changed how they think about women's health, men's health, and the entire fertility industry.
