- How to Actually Regulate Your Nervous System with Dr. Antonia Denison
This week we're joined by Dr. Antonia — she holds a Master's in Neuroscience and a Doctorate of Chiropractic, and takes a truly holistic approach to how she treats patients. We get into why chiropractic care is about so much more than cracking your back, and spend the bulk of this conversation on the nervous system — how it connects to chiropractic care, why regulation tools don't work if your nervous system is still dysregulated, and what daily practices actually help.
We also cover the corporate-desk-job reality most of us are living in — posture, tech neck, and what to actually do about the toll of staring at a screen all day. And we get into hormones, metabolic health, and a few tools Dr. Antonia swears by, including red light therapy and cranial work.
If you've ever tried a breathing exercise or a meditation app and felt like "this isn't working for me," this episode explains why — and what actually helps.
Here's what we get into:
- Why a chiropractor is more than just someone who cracks your back
- What to actually look for when choosing a chiropractor
- The real benefits of consistent adjustments — including how it can improve sleep & anxiety
- How to protect your posture and health at a desk job
- Tech neck — what it's actually doing to your spine and what to do about it
- How the nervous system and chiropractic care are connected
- Why regulation tools don't work on a dysregulated nervous system
- Daily practices that actually help regulate your nervous system
- Tools to maintain regulation once you've gotten there
- The connection between anxiety and physical pain — and how to recognize it
- Why metabolic efficiency matters and how to support it (including how you eat and walking after meals)
- The upper cervical spine — what to know
- Red light therapy — why Dr. Antonia uses it
- Cranial work — what it is and why she uses it as a treatment
Semi Rapid Fire:
- Who Dr. Antonia follows for health inspiration
- Her one tool for nervous system regulation, if she could only pick one
- Shoe recommendations from a chiropractor's perspective
- Book recommendations for nervous system regulation
- What to look for in a pillow
- Morning and night routine additions for a healthy body and mind
- Her best purchase this year

1h 20m - Sep 9, 2026 - Corporate Burnout, The Art of Pivoting, Building a Pilates Brand, and Becoming an AI It Girl with Anna Rinke, Co-Founder of Homebody Studios
This week we're sitting down with Anna Rinke, Co-founder of Homebody Studios, for a conversation that covers SO much.
We get into what burnout actually felt like for her before anyone else could see it, the delusion it takes to build something from nothing, and the advice she'd give any woman who looks successful on paper but knows deep down she's unhappy. We also dig into how Homebody actually came together, what building a real brand (not just a studio) looks like, and the boundaries she's had to build for herself now that work no longer comes before everything else.
Anna has also become a real force online when it comes to AI education, so we get into what people are getting wrong about it, how to actually start using it if you're only using it like a fancier Google search, and how she uses it to level up her own life.
We close out talking about what she's reading, watching, and listening to right now — the books that changed her life, the podcasts making her smarter, and the people whose brains she's obsessed with.
Here's what we get into:
- Anna's path from corporate to founding Homebody
- What burnout looked like for her before anyone else could see it
- Advice for the woman who's successful on paper but knows she's unhappy
- The delusion it takes to build something successful
- How Homebody actually came together — and why she saw room in a saturated market
- The difference between opening a studio and building a brand
- What real community actually looks like
- Her take on the pilates vs. weightlifting debate
- The health and fitness non-negotiables she lives by now
- How she became an AI education force online — and what people are getting wrong
- Practical tips for using AI in your workplace and your personal life
- The books, podcasts, and people who've shaped how she thinks
- What she's currently obsessed with, reading, and consuming

In this Sister Solo, Jenna walks through the 5 pillars that finally healed her after years of chronic gut issues, inflammation, bloating, hormonal acne, and feeling like sh*t no matter what she tried.

Jenna and Jill get real about Jenna's 2019-2023 era — the symptoms she normalized, the all-or-nothing trap that made her sicker, and the moment she realized the answer wasn't more restriction. It was less.

- The all-or-nothing wellness trap and how it made her sicker
- Pillar 1: Drainage — the foundation nobody talks about

- Pillar 3: Metabolic health — and why undereating is making women sicker
- Pillar 4: Strength training — the day everything changed
- Pillar 5: Curating a slower, intentional, balanced life — the pillar nobody talks about

30m - Jun 10, 2026 - The Case for Trimester 0 and Why Men Are 50% of the Fertility Equation with the Founders of WeNatal, Ronit Menashe & Vida Delrahim
This week we're sitting down with Ronit Menashe and Vida Delrahim — the founders of WeNatal — for a conversation that needs to be had. Both Ronit and Vida went through miscarriages around the same time, and what they discovered through their own fertility journeys completely changed how they think about women's health, men's health, and the entire fertility industry.
If you've ever felt like fertility was something only your body was responsible for figuring out — or you've been handed a prenatal at your OB's office without anyone explaining what's actually in it — this episode is for you.
Here's what we get into:
- Ronit and Vida's personal fertility journeys and the moment they realized this was being put all on women
- Why men are 50% of the fertility equation — and barely in the conversation
- What everyday habits are quietly wrecking male fertility
- Why most prenatals are under-dosed or full of low-quality ingredients (and what to actually look for)
- The role of metabolic health, stress, and nervous system regulation in conception
- The fertility red flags people have normalized
- Their most unpopular hot takes — including whether women are being gaslit about their symptoms
- What they want every woman feeling hopeless in her fertility journey to hear

58m - Jun 3, 2026 - The Truth Behind “Better For You” Ice Cream with Alec’s Ice Cream Founder, Alec Jaffe
This week we're sitting down with the founder of Alec's Ice Cream — the brand making ice cream that's genuinely indulgent and genuinely better for you. And no, those two things aren't a contradiction.
If you've been around Gut Talk for a while, you know how we feel about the wellness world's obsession with demonizing food. Ice cream is one of the most fear-mongered foods out there — and this episode is a refreshing, honest conversation about why that needs to stop. We get into A2 dairy, regenerative farming, and why "healthifying" everything might be missing the point entirely.
This one's for anyone who wants the real story behind a "better for you" brand — the ingredients, the business, and the truth about the healthy-dessert aisle.
Here's what we get into:
- How a kid making ice cream turned it into a real business — and the moment the gap in the market became obvious
- What "indulgent but feel-good" actually means (and why that's not a marketing gimmick)
- Why the wellness world has spent years demonizing foods like ice cream — and why that's a problem
- A2 dairy explained simply — what it is, how it's different from regular dairy, and why your gut might care
- The honest story behind the regenerative dairy sourcing challenge, and what they prioritize for quality now
- Why they removed seed oils, gums, and fillers — and how they develop new flavors
- The hardest parts of scaling a perishable product, and what raising $11M actually changed
- Ice cream hot takes: is most "healthy ice cream" just marketing? Are low-calorie desserts missing the point?
- The hardest decision he's had to make as a founder

41m - May 13, 2026 - PEPTIDES FOR YOUR SKIN?! Regenerative Skincare: The Skin Industry's Best-Kept Secret with Sara Douglas of Cellure
This week we're sitting back down with Sara Douglas — but this time we're talking about her other brand, Cellure. (If you missed our episode on Vitaclean, go listen after this one.)
Sara is one of those rare founders who doesn't build companies for the sake of building — she builds them because she's lived the problem. Her skin journey is the reason Cellure exists, and what she's learned about how skin actually heals (vs. how the skincare industry tells you it heals) is going to change how you think about your routine.
We're getting into why most skincare only addresses surface-level issues, what it actually means to have a damaged skin barrier, and the new category Sara's brand is building: regenerative skincare. Spoiler — it's a completely different approach to anti-aging, inflammation, and skin healing than what's on most shelves right now.
If you've been throwing money at serums, sheet masks, and 12-step routines and your skin is still pissed at you, this episode is going to make a lot of things click.
Here's what we get into:
- Sara's real skin journey and the moment she realized traditional skincare wasn't cutting it
- How Cellure connects to Vitaclean (yes, they go together — and there's a reason)
- Why most skincare only treats the surface — and why that approach will never give you the results you want
- What a damaged skin barrier actually is, the signs you have one, and how to actually fix it
- What "regenerative skincare" means in simple, non-marketing terms
- Cellure's three targeted serums — Peptide Hydro Lift, Volufiline, and Tranexamic Acid — and what each one does
- The biggest skincare mistakes most women are making right now
- Whether you can use these alongside retinol and other actives — and how to layer them correctly
Mentioned in the episode: Use code GUTTALK15 for 15% on amazon and cellure.co website

52m - May 6, 2026 - The Truth About Your Shower Water and Its Impact on Your Hair and Skin, with the Co-Founders of Vitaclean, Sara Douglas and Kristina Velkova
This week we're sitting down with Sara Douglas and Kristina Velkova, the co-founders of Vitaclean — the shower filter that's quietly fixing the thing nobody told us was a problem: our shower water.
If you've ever wondered why your skin breaks out, your hair feels brittle, or your scalp is dry no matter how many products you throw at it — this episode is going to make you look at your shower differently. We're getting into what's actually in the water coming out of your faucet (chlorine, minerals, and a few things you don't want to know about), why Texas hair is a real phenomenon, and what we both noticed when we started filtering our showers.
Sara and Kristina also walk us through how they built Vitaclean — two women, a real problem, and a category that's blowing up right now for a reason.
Here's what we get into:
- How Sara and Kristina met and what made them go from idea to actual business — the real version, not the LinkedIn version
- The personal hair and skin struggles that started this whole thing
- What's actually in your shower water (you're going to want to sit down)
- Why Texas water is wrecking Jill's hair and why Jenna's back acne might be a water issue, not a skincare issue
- Why the shower filter category is exploding right now — and whether water quality is genuinely getting worse
- How the 3-stage Vitaclean filter actually works (and why Vitamin C is the hero ingredient)
- What makes Vitaclean different from every other filter on the market
- The new Vitaclean Ultra — what it is, who it's for
- What you'll actually notice after you start using one (and how fast)
- Sara and Kristina's personal shower routines — products, ingredients, the stuff they swear by, and what they avoid
- Their favorite health hacks right now

50m - Apr 29, 2026 - SISTER SOLO: The Scrappy Reality of Building a Business, Pepsi's New Fiber Soda, and Giving Up Protein???
We're back!! And this time from the studio we ACTUALLY built — kind of. It's mostly done. Sitting-on-the-floor era → full studio in 5 days and we are still a little bit in shock.
This one's just us. No guest, no script, just two sisters catching up on what's actually going on behind the scenes of building a business, why we're over influencer drama, and the health trends we're low-key side-eyeing right now.
What we get into:
- The studio glow up — going from zero to a real space in less than a week. Shoutout to the team who made it happen, we love you.
- The not-so-aesthetic part of owning a business — loans, landlord meetings, fighting with Amazon over a missing mic. It's not all pretty lighting and iced matchas.
- The Alex vs. Alix of it all — we're genuinely so over the influencer drama. Our dad told us to "go read a book and climb a tree" and honestly? That's the energy we're bringing into 2026.
Health hot takes:
Pepsi's fiber soda — is it a health move or just giving gimmick? (Spoiler: we're sticking with our gut-friendly faves)
The ozempic olympics — our real thoughts on the skinny-girl energy at Coachella and everywhere else rn
Things we won't shut up about:
Claude AI — Jill is officially a claude girly for her business systems
K18 dry shampoo — THE holy grail for volume + skipping wash days
Saying no — protecting your energy is a whole vibe
Lifting weights — Jenna's whole thing lately, the confidence shift is real
Eating Less protein -- should we talk more about this?
Mentioned in the ep:
Emma Grede's audiobook
Dermot Kennedy's new album
Tubing mascara — genuinely life-changing for easy removal
Come hang with us!! If you have ideas for new segments or just want to say hi, we're on socials. We love our girls — you guys literally kept us going through every moment we thought about quitting 🍒

In this episode, we sit down with Mila Magnani for a raw and eye-opening conversation about what it really looks like to struggle with undiagnosed hormone issues—and the long road to finally getting answers. After seeing over 20 doctors and repeatedly being told “everything looks normal,” today’s guest shares how she nearly gave up on finding a diagnosis… until she decided to take her health into her own hands.
We dive into her journey with PCOS—from the symptoms she didn’t realize were connected, to the frustration of being dismissed, to the moment everything finally clicked.

WHAT WE COVER:
- The first signs and symptoms of PCOS (and what gets overlooked)
- Being told “everything is normal” despite clear symptoms
- Seeing 20+ doctors and still not getting answers
- Why hormone health is more complex than basic lab work
- The turning point for Mila: taking control of her own healing journey
- Key supplements that supported her (like inositol & selenium)
- What PCOS actually is and how to approach it
- What to do if you think you might have PCOS
- Non-negotiables for balancing blood sugar
- Why quick fixes aren’t the answer to hormone healing
- The physical and emotional transformation over time
- Sharing her journey online and helping others feel less alone

1h 0m - Apr 8, 2026 - WELCOME TO OUR VERY OWN PODCAST STUDIO: Studio plans, Bravo drama, and life updates
SURPRISE!!! This week’s episode is a BIG one—because we’re officially building out our own studio (!!!!!) and stepping into a whole new era.
We talk about what it’s really looked like behind the scenes: getting honest with ourselves, taking risks, and pushing through the uncomfortable parts to actually go after what we want. For the first time, we’re starting to see the fruits of our labor come back around—and learning how to slow down enough to feel grateful for it. We also share a reminder we both needed: you can be in the absolute lowest place and still turn things around. Truly.
Then of course… we get into the BRAVO of it all. Our (mainly Jill's) raw, unfiltered reactions to the Ciara/West/Amanda drama. We talk about where the line should be, why Jill's ALMOST lowkey feeling bad for Amanda (??), and how important solid friendships are—especially when things get messy. Who speaks up? Who stays quiet? And how many people just turn a blind eye? and of course our biggest question, WHY?!
We wrap with some life updates:
- - Jill's at home coffee shop (Breville update)
- - a gut health update (H. pylori & muscle testing)
- - Jill's new job
- - Jenna's part time job
- - Duke’s attack
- Gratitude mindset

We get into:
- What Dr. Stone means by the need for a “paradigm shift” in healthcare
- What being proactive about your health actually looks like (especially for women 18–45)
- How often you should really be getting labs done — and which markers matter most
- Supporting your gut without overspending or overcomplicating things
- The gut-brain connection and its link to anxiety + hormone imbalance
- Nervous system regulation and why it’s foundational
- Chronic yeast infections — what’s often overlooked
- Creatine for women: worth it or not?
Plus, Dr. Stone walks us through a simple framework for improving gut health:
- Testing
- Reducing inflammation
- Healing the gut lining
- Rebalancing the microbiome
- Maintenance
We also get his honest takes on trending therapies like PRP, EBOO, and parasite cleanses — what they are, who they’re for, and whether they’re actually worth it. And of course, we wrap with the most important question:If you could only do 2–3 things starting tomorrow to improve your health… what would they be?
Supplements don’t have to be overwhelming. We love Doctor’s Best for their science-backed, high-quality formulas across gut health, sleep, recovery, and more.

52m - Mar 26, 2026 - Dave Friedberg on Optimizing Your Gut Microbiome, the Power of Fiber & the Mindset for Success
In this episode, we sit down with Dave Friedberg—co-founder of Supergut, co-host of the All-In podcast, and former CEO of The Climate Corporation—to break down the science of the gut microbiome and why fiber—specifically resistant starch—plays such a critical role in optimizing it.
Friedberg explains why most common probiotics fail to create lasting change, and introduces resistant starch—a powerful prebiotic—as a more effective way to support long-term gut health. He walks us through how it works, including how beneficial gut bacteria ferment resistant starch to produce short-chain fatty acids like butyrate, which are linked to improved blood sugar regulation, reduced inflammation, and increased production of GLP-1, a hormone that helps regulate appetite.
We also dive into his personal philosophy on health, supplementation, and building a successful career—highlighting the non-negotiable importance of sleep and the role curiosity plays in long-term growth.
