    Could a Sluggish Thyroid Be the Culprit of Your Messed Up Metabolism? with Nicole Fennell RD/N

    In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by functional dietitian and thyroid expert Nicole Fennell, RD/N, to unpack the hidden ways chronic stress, undereating, and over-exercising can wreck your metabolism, suppress your thyroid, and shut down your cycle. We explore how a sluggish thyroid can go undetected on standard lab work, and why low estrogen and thyroid dysfunction are deeply connected If you’re ready to finally understand the real reason behind your missing period, low energy, and brain fog—this episode is for you. Nicole Fennell is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, functional medicine expert, and the founder of Chews Food Wisely—a private practice where she and her team help women uncover the root causes of symptoms like fatigue, bloating, hormone imbalances, and thyroid dysfunction through a food-first approach. With nearly 15 years of experience, Nicole combines advanced functional lab testing with real-life nutrition strategies to create sustainable, personalized plans that actually work in the day-to-day. She also serves as a professor of nutrition at the University of Texas at Tyler, where she teaches future healthcare professionals to think differently about food and practice emphasizing nourishment over deprivation. Whether it’s in the classroom or the clinic, Nicole’s mission is to help women stop guessing, start healing, and feel empowered in their bodies again.

  2. The Wildly Overlooked Connection between the Nervous System, Digestion + Hormones with Megan Gerber RD

    The Wildly Overlooked Connection between the Nervous System, Digestion + Hormones with Megan Gerber RD

    This week on the podcast, I sat down with gut health dietitian Megan from Grounded Nourishment to unpack this wildly overlooked connection between your nervous system, digestion, and hormones. Because if you’re on the path to period recovery or trying to get pregnant naturally—healing your gut and regulating your stress response isn’t optional. It’s essential. Here’s what we got into: 🧠 Why women with hypothalamic amenorrhea often deal with chronic constipation, bloating, and food sensitivities 💥 How nervous system dysregulation (aka always being “on”) shuts down digestion and hormone production 🫀 The exact reason stress, undereating, and overexercising lead to poor gut motility and missing periods 🌬 Breathwork, bitters, and simple vagus nerve practices to get your gut—and your cycle—back online 💫 The trauma-gut-fertility link no one talks about enough Megan Gerber, RD, LD, IFNCP, CGN is a Functional Medicine Dietitian, Breathwork Teacher, and the founder of Grounded Nourishment. She's also the co-founder of JÜJ Digestive Bitters. Meg specializes in helping women heal from chronic digestive issues by addressing the root cause — not just through nutrition, functional testing, and supplements, but by naming what often gets overlooked: stress. In her practice, stress isn’t just a buzzword — it’s the elephant in the room that can wreak havoc on gut health and stall healing. While the wellness world often says “we are what we eat,” Meg takes it a step deeper: “We are what we digest and absorb.” This truth anchors her approach — one that integrates nervous system regulation as a non-negotiable part of gut healing. Whether it’s through mindful eating, parasympathetic breathwork, or EFT tapping, Meg helps her clients reconnect with their bodies, calm their systems, and finally experience relief.   Learn more from Meg: www.groundednourish.com www.livewithjuj.com breath work for gut health @groundednourish @jujbitters   Today's episode is brought to you by our exclusive program, Premier Period Recovery for Fertility.
