Youâve probably been told sulfur-rich foods are good for you.
Think: garlic, onions, cruciferous veggies, eggs.
And they are â until theyâre not.
In this weekâs episode of Rewilded Wellness, I explore what most practitioners overlook: why your body might not be able to process sulfur effectively, and how that creates confusing symptoms like:
Bloating after meals
Brain fog or mood shifts
Fatigue that doesnât make sense
Sensitivities to healthy foods or supplements
This isnât about demonizing sulfur â itâs about respecting your bodyâs current terrain. Minerals, microbes, genetic tendencies, detox capacity, and even emotional trauma all shape how your body responds.
The wellness world tends to treat symptoms like enemies.
But your bodyâs reaction to sulfur isnât a failure â itâs communication.
Itâs feedback about whatâs missing, whatâs overwhelmed, and whatâs ready ...
The Hidden Connection: How Your Digestive Issues May Be Triggering Your Anxiety
Have you ever noticed that your anxiety seems to flare up alongside your digestive symptoms? This isn't a coincidence. What if I told you that the butterflies in your stomach, the knot in your throat, and the racing thoughts in your mind might all share a common origin?
The Gut-Brain Axis: Your Second Brain at Work
Scientists have discovered what many ancient healing traditions have known for centuries: your gut and brain are engaged in constant, intimate conversation. This communication highway, known as the gut-brain axis, is reshaping how we understand both digestive issues and mental health concerns.
Your digestive system houses what scientists call your "second brain" â an intricate network of over 500 million neurons called the enteric nervous system. This neural network produces many of the same neurotransmitters found in your brain, including a staggering 90% of your body's serotonin â the "happ...

In this episode I take a dive into a topic that doesnât always get the attention it deserves but thankfully itâs starting to - is absolutely crucial to your healthâfiber. Yes, fiber.
You may have heard itâs essential, but do you really know why? Letâs dig in and talk about the amazing, transformative power of fiber and its relationship with your gut and overall well-being.
But first . . . I feel like in the holistic health space, it seems like everyone's been searching for solutions to their problems, and for over a decade, the main advice has been: "Just eliminate it."
But short-term relief doesn't equal true healing or recovery. Categorical eliminations galoreâcutting out dairy because itâs "bad," going gluten-free because wheat is "bad," actually wait we should avoid all grains, oh and also letâs avoid legumes too or avoiding a myriad of other plant...
Episode #207: The Microbiome Revolution: Why Itâs Time to Rethink Gut Health

In recent years, weâve learned so much about the microbiome and its impact on overall health. Our understanding of gut health has evolved dramatically, and with it, our approach to healing the gut. But what does it really mean to heal your gut? The answer lies in one simple truth: healing your gut means rebuilding your microbiome.
Microbes Matter More Than You Think
Our relationship with food and gut health has never been static. The way we eat and how food is produced has always evolved, driven by environmental changes, resources, and our ever-expanding understanding of what true health looks like. Yet, as humans, we cling to familiar patternsâespecially when it comes to our health. We tend to defend our habits and resist change, even when they no longer serve us.
In the realm of gut health, this resistance often shows up in the form of rigid dietary protocols, q...

**Unlocking the Healing Power of Mushrooms: From Culinary to Medicinal & Beyond**
Mushrooms have always held a special place in my heart and health journey. Whether Iâm cooking them up for a nourishing meal or tapping into their potent medicinal properties, these little fungi have become some of my most trusted allies. In my recent podcast episode, I dove deep into the many ways mushrooms can support not only your gut health but also your overall wellnessâfrom beginner-friendly culinary mushrooms to more advanced medicinal and entheogenic varieties.
Today, I want to expand on that conversation and offer you a deeper look into the fascinating world of mushrooms. Letâs explore the profound health benefits they provide, the science behind their healing properties, and how you can start incorporating them into your life with intention and respect.

Navigating Gut Health and Histamine Intolerance
Recently, I shared on Instagram that I submitted my hair sample for my HTMA retest. After ten years of testingâthis being my 38thâIâve come to view these assessments as seasonal checkpoints in my journey to health.
Reflecting on my early experiences, I remember grappling with a highly volatile system. I was hypersensitive to everything, making it challenging to identify what my body could tolerate. My health felt like a constant cycle of crashing and burning, followed by brief recoveries, all while managing immense stress from multiple factors, including living in a water-damaged home. One of my most significant challenges was severe leaky gut, compounded by a relentless histamine response. For two long years, eating became a daunting task, as I never knew which foods would trigger a reaction.
During that time, I often found myself in a heighten...

The Importance of Gut Health: Rethinking Our Approach
Many people, if not most, are experiencing some degree of gut dysbiosis or "leaky gut." This observation stems from both clinical experience and a growing body of research on the human microbiome, as well as insights from ancestral health practices.
Surprisingly, most individuals who come to me have not adequately addressed their gut health. They may believe theyâve tackled itâoften claiming to have healed their guts by eliminating problem foods or following various protocols to address pathogens. However, thereâs little evidence that they have truly repaired their gut or are consuming enough nutrients for their microbial health, particularly the essential carbohydrates, plants, and fibers.
What Does Gut Repair Mean?
When I refer to "gut repair," Iâm primarily talking about restoring the ...

In this episode talk about how you are what you digest and absorb nutrient wise - aka ASSIMILATION because that term is coming up for me holistically speaking on the heels of the sound healing retreat Iâve felt there was a lot to digest, absorb and assimilate. So letâs dig into it because itâs important and comes up in every client I work with -in fact today I just reviewed a BiomeFX with one of my favorite doctors and we talked about digestive inefficiency and how itâs a top priority in any case regardless of the differences in results.
There are several symptoms that lead us to suspect that poor absorption or maldigestion is taking place before the first test is ever even done. These may include bloating, burping, upset stomach, diarrhea, gas, a desire to eat when not hungry, indigestion, undiges...

As you know I believe minerals run the show of the human body, even the microbes in your gut rely on mineral balance. Minerals & Microbes are foundational elements every one of us needs to thrive. In this episode I want to hone in on one aspect of gut health that I see as a key anyone can focus on improving to also benefit their whole health.

When the gut microbiome is running low in its keystone species this impacts systemic functionality as well.
For example; one function I see low on all of my clients BiomeFX stool sample results is low butyrate function. Itâs one of many BUT hereâs why even this one function alone in the low range can impact many things.
What is butyrate?
Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid that provides fuel for the cells of our gut lining, supports i...
Navigating food intolerances/sensitivities is something I have gone through myself and itâs something I have to explore with many clients as well. There can be a lot of moving parts to this food âallergyâ equation. Itâs not as simple as ONLY avoiding or removing because then you never uncover what led to this and what can lead you back towards freedom.
That shared, in episode #106, I share some thoughts and a reframe for you as well as some considerations to start with before going straight to eliminating foods.

It is important to honor our bodies where they are at when they signal a NO around a food. BUT itâs equally, if not more so, important to live in a FREE body. A body that doesnât have to view real food as a threat. That is not a joyful way to have to live.
