Think gut health just means taking a probiotic or eating more fiber? Think again. In this episode, Shannon gets real (and a little cheeky) with gut and psychology practitioner Lisa Garrett—because if you’re not pooping every day, it’s time to make some real changes.
Lisa shares the messy, inspiring truth behind her son’s and her own healing journey—after years of chronic symptoms, meds, and dead-end doctor visits. You’ll hear why most “clean eating” and supplement advice completely misses the mark, the gut-brain secrets nobody tells you, and what actually works for fixing chronic bloat, fatigue, skin issues, and those “mystery” symptoms that labs never explain.
Inside this episode:
- The life-changing power of elimination diets (and why your doctor probably never mentioned them)
- What leaky gut really is—and how healing it unlocks energy, growth, mental clarity, and even stronger nails and hair
- Why “more exercise” is often the wrong answer for women in burnout or chronic gut distress
- The crazy connection between constipation, stuck emotions… and breakthrough transformation
- Lisa’s non-negotiables: ditching your “just a little” trigger foods, prioritizing pooping daily, and real talk on what healthy stool looks (and feels) like
- Why nervous system and gut healing must go hand-in-hand—and how slowing down changed everything for Lisa and her family
Hear practical, no-fluff steps to get your digestion moving and your whole life back on track—plus why talking about poop is the ultimate act of self-care.
