What if your chronic fatigue, anxiety, and bloating aren’t all in your head, and medication isn’t the only answer?
In this episode, I’m joined by Colleen Kurtz, a Clinical Therapist and Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner who shares her powerful story of being completely burnt out, unmotivated, and handed a list of over 10 prescriptions… only to find real relief by changing what was on her plate.
We dive into:
- How gut health impacts mental health (and vice versa)
- Why women are especially vulnerable to burnout, anxiety, and digestive issues
- What traditional therapy training gets wrong about serotonin, dopamine, and the gut
- Small, realistic steps you can take today to start restoring your energy and digestion, without restriction, shame, or chasing symptoms
Whether you’ve been dismissed by doctors, overwhelmed by supplements, or stuck in survival mode, this episode will remind you: you’re not broken, and healing is possible with the right tools.
