The Truth About Gut Health (When Your Labs Say You're Fine)

Episode 48 Published 3 weeks ago

This week on The Functional Aesthetician Podcast, we're talking about nutrition, gut health, hydration, and supplements worth taking.

We also talk about why so many women hear "your labs are normal" and still don't feel like themselves.

My guest is Jackie Klein, a board certified holistic health practitioner and author of Holistic Healing From the Inside Out.

Jackie builds her approach on the foundational things that move the needle before testing or supplements even come into play.

If you've ever been told everything looks fine on paper but you still feel bloated, tired, or stuck, this episode is for you.

In this Episode, You’ll Learn:

Why so many women get "normal" labs but still don't feel normal
The first food Jackie removes from almost every client's diet, and why
The 4 supplements Jackie considers non-negotiable — and the ones that aren't worth it
Why vitamin D deficiency is so common (hint: it's not just about diet)
How toxins get stored in fat cells, and why "keto flu" usually isn't the keto flu
Why hydration alone can't fix constipation without electrolytes
Why walking beats HIIT and cardio for women 40+
The truth about alcohol and your gut microbiome, especially during perimenopause
