• Ep 33: Main Root Causes of Gut + Digestive Issues

  Wondering what the heck caused your digestive issues? How did you get to this place of constant bloating, pain, anxiety and food fear? If I had to guess...you've tried different diets and supplements, but you're still dealing with endless bloating, stomach pain, fatigue and anxiety. At Team HAN, we take a root cause approach to digestive issues. Identifying what is causing your digestive issues is essential to getting better. If you don't, you'll just be chasing symptoms and not making real, sustainable progress. In today's episode, we discuss the most common root causes of chronic gut health issues like bloating, gas, stomach pain, constipation/diarrhea, and food sensitivities and how to prevent these symptoms from coming back in the future.   WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN THIS EPISODE: Chronic digestive issues are common and often misunderstood. Gut health impacts overall health, including hormones and skin. Addressing root causes is essential for real, long-term health. Chronic stress is a major underlying root cause of chronic gut issues. Elimination diets don't address the reason why you need food restriction in the first place.     LINKS: Book a strategy call with Hannah HERE Take the Gut Health Root Cause Quiz for free!

• Ep 30: Is Your Gut Causing High Cortisol? The Gut x Cortisol Connection

  Do you have high cortisol? Everyone is talking about cortisol levels but no is talking about why they are high in the first place. Hint: it could be your gut. In this episode of the Nutrient Dense Podcast, I dive into the intricate relationship between gut health and cortisol levels. I breakdown how cortisol, often referred to as the stress hormone, can negatively impact gut function AND how deeper gut issues can cause high cortisol levels and chronic HPA Axis activation. The conversation explores the role of the HPA axis, the influence of the gut microbiome on inflammation, and the connection between blood sugar regulation and stress. I also get get into how your gut can be contributing to histamine overload, which can further exacerbate stress and anxiety.   WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN THIS EPISODE: Cortisol negatively impacts gut health and function. Gut imbalances can raise cortisol levels via LPS producing gut bacteria. A healthy gut microbiome helps prevent systemic inflammation. Healthy gut bacteria modulate the vagus nerve. Blood sugar dysregulation can increase cortisol levels. Poor gut health can lead to low neurotransmitter production. Nutrient deficiencies act as chronic stressors on the body. Histamine overload can contribute to increased cortisol levels. High cortisol levels can damage gut health and function.             LINKS: Book a strategy call with Hannah HERE Take the Gut Health Root Cause Quiz for free!

• Ep 29: From Hustle to Flow: Cycle Syncing with Kasia Stiggelbout

  Feeling burnt out, uninspired and exhausted? Trying to juggle it all while just feeling like your inspiration is slipping away? This episode is for you. In this episode of the Nutrient Dense Podcast, I interview Kasia about the importance of cycle syncing and how aligning lifestyle with hormonal changes can enhance health and productivity. We dive into how Kasia's personal journey through burnout led her to using cycle syncing as a method to optimize well-being, productivity and alignment. The conversation delves into the phases of the menstrual cycle, offering insights on how to adjust habits, nutrition, and productivity based on hormonal fluctuations. Cycle syncing is a way that you can honor your body, wellbeing and energy.   WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN THIS EPISODE: Is burnout trying to show you that something in your life is out of alignment? Cycle syncing aligns lifestyle with hormonal changes. Women experience different energy levels throughout their cycle. The menstrual phase: rest and reflection. The follicular phase: creativity and planning. Ovulation: confidence, productivity, more energy expenditure. The luteal phase: grace and self-care. Adapting nutrition to different phases of your cycle can support energy and hormone balance. Understanding your cycle is an absolute must for overall health and productivity.   LINKS: Book a strategy call with Hannah HERE Take the Gut Health Root Cause Quiz for free!
