Season 2, Ep 5
Welcome to The Chronic Chronicles, I'm SO happy that you're here!
In this solo episode of The Chronic Chronicles, I'm breaking down the science of how gut health and inflammation are connected and how that connection shows up in conditions like endometriosis, PCOS, autoimmune issues, and beyond.
Plus, I'm sharing my personal gut health journey (spoiler: it hasn't been linear), what's helped me the most, and what I'm still figuring out.
If you've ever wondered if gut health actually matters for your chronic illness — this episode is for you.
Disclaimer: I'm not a doctor, just a human with lived experience, a science background, and a whole lot of research. Always speak with your provider before making any changes to your care plan.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
