Follow Your Gut Podcast

When it feels like everyone needs something from you, it’s easy to focus on how little you have left to give.

In this episode, I’m sharing a meditation my husband, Ty, read aloud one morning and the perspective shift it created for me as a woman and mother.

Being needed can feel incredibly heavy, especially when you are caring for a child with symptoms, struggling with symptoms yourself, managing a home, loving your famil...

Your poop and your child’s poop are some of the clearest windows into what is happening inside the body. But most of us have been taught to plug our noses, flush quickly, and treat elimination as something disgusting or embarrassing.

In this episode, Juniper changes the way you understand poop.

You will learn what healthy poop looks like from infancy through adulthood, how breastfed and formula-fed baby poop differs, what withh...

Two hundred episodes ago, I started the Follow Your Gut podcast because I wanted to create what I desperately needed while healing my son… a place where someone who understood how hard it was behind closed doors, believed what I was seeing, and could hold hope for me when mine had been crushed by years of dismissal.

For this 200th episode, I am not sharing 200 lessons, revisiting the most downloaded episodes, or giving you an...

Everyone experiences the release phase during rebalancing but not everyone notices it happening.

As harmful bacteria, yeast, mold, fungus, parasites, heavy metals, toxins, and waste are cleared, the body has to process and eliminate what is being released. Some women and children notice temporary changes in energy, digestion, poop, sleep, skin, mood, or the symptoms they are healing. Others move through the release phase without fee...

Should you wait until you move out of the mold? Until your child gets over strepthroat? Until after vacation, the holidays, or the next busy season?

If you are waiting for the perfect time to begin healing, this episode is for you.

Your body doesn’t need life to become calm before it can receive foundational support. The mold exposure, active illness, stressful season, or disrupted routine is not automatically a reason to leave...

If you feel overwhelmed by everything happening in your body or your child’s body, this is where you start.

You don’t need a separate answer for the eczema, constipation, food reactions, recurring infections, anxiety, poor sleep, hormonal symptoms, sensory struggles, or exhaustion. Different symptoms are different ways the body communicates the same foundational imbalance.

In this episode, Juniper explains how the gut mic...

My son fully healed. Every single symptom went away. But when I look back at the first two years of his life, I barely remember them.

I was so focused on finding answers, monitoring every symptom, and trying to heal his body that I missed the child right in front of me. I missed two tender years of my daughter’s life. I missed two years of my marriage. I lost two years of myself.

That is my biggest regret from healing my son, a...

She had spent years searching for separate answers to bloating, PCOS, poor sleep, excessive gas, and fertility struggles. Then her son developed reflux, mucus in his stool, constipation, poor sleep, and obvious digestive discomfort.

She kept researching probiotics, calming remedies and nervous-system support because everything felt fragmented. Then in listening to other episodes on the podcast, she realized something that changed th...

In this episode, Juniper shares a short, personal story from the night her daughter pulled her aside feeling scared, telling her it burned when she peed and there was blood.

Juniper walks through what it felt like to sit with her daughter in that moment, not from a place of fear, but from a place of already knowing what to do. She reflects on what it means to have a real protocol in place before the hard moment ever arrives. She wal...

What if the way you’ve been trying to heal isn’t wrong?

In this episode, Juniper shares a deeply personal shift happening inside the Follow Your Gut Podcast and invites you to look at the hidden “rules” you may be following in your own healing, motherhood, creativity, and expansion.

Recorded from the side of a trail instead of behind a podcast mic, this conversation is about breaking free from the boxes we cre...

There is a difference between managing symptoms and actually healing.

And most of us were never taught that difference.

If you’ve been managing bloating, anxiety, fatigue, skin flares, hormone dysregulation, constipation, or your child’s eczema, reflux, diarrhea, sleep struggles, behavioral outbursts, or discomfort in their body, this episode will help you understand what the body is communicating underneath the symptom.

J...

If you have a cabinet full of supplements, saved protocols, screenshots from Facebook groups, and a notes app full of symptoms… this episode is for you.

And if you’re a mom who has tried everything for your child… the creams, the drops, the prescriptions, the probiotics, the food swaps, the routines and still feels like you’re missing the bigger picture, this conversation will feel deeply familiar.

In this e...

Most women don’t find gut health because they think there is a gut issue. 

They find it because they’re trying to understand the symptom right in front of them.

In this episode, Juniper  shares the deeply personal story of trying to understand her son’s eczema, reflux, colic, food allergies, mucus-filled stools, behavioral challenges, and speech delays and how she eventually realized these symptoms were no...

What do you do when you’ve experienced years of symptoms and no real answers?

In this episode of Follow Your Gut, Juniper shares her deeply personal story of trying to heal her son after years of reflux, eczema, food allergies, mucus-filled stools, allergies, explosive meltdowns, and being dismissed by professional after professional.

This episode is for the woman or mother who knows something is off, even when labs look &ldquo...

In this episode, I’m sharing one of the simplest practices that has created the most transformation in my life: speaking what you desire as if it already exists.

This isn’t about pretending, bypassing what’s hard, or ignoring the very real symptoms and challenges in front of you. It’s about helping your brain, body, and nervous system begin to recognize healing, peace, and possibility as safe.

I share how affi...

You know the feeling.

You’re exhausted… but you slept.
You’re showing up… but not fully there.
You’re doing everything “right”… but something still feels off.

And at some point, you stopped questioning it.
You started explaining it away.

“This is just life right now.”
“This is what happens when you’re a mom.”
“I just need more rest.&r...

I've recently become aware of something and now I can't unsee it. I've been quiet and I've been seeing this a lot in our customers and the women in our community.

We've been quiet, not because life is hard, but because the opposite, because it's so profoundly good.

Most people don't talk about this, that when life is so abundantly good, we can kind of isolate ourselves because we don't want to make other people feel uncomfortable. An...

We keep getting asked about swollen tonsils and adenoids and related symptoms, so today we are having the conversation no one is having.

Because what’s happening right now is that so many parents are being told the same thing. Your child keeps getting sick. Their tonsils are enlarged. Their adenoids are swollen. Maybe they’re mouth breathing, they are not sleeping well, or maybe they are dealing with constant congestion ...

There are several research studies that have recently come out that show that 30 to 50 % of oral antibiotics have been unnecessarily prescribed. If we go with this lower number, 30%, this means one in three antibiotic prescriptions are unnecessary.

This equals about 47 million unnecessary prescriptions per year in the United States alone. This is significant because when you are prescribed these antibiotics, you're not being educate...
