EPISODE 23: JADE ETTER OF MICROBIOME UNIVERSITY

Join us on the Femme Factor podcast as we welcome the Gut Health Queen herself, Jade Etter, for an enlightening chat on the necessity of personalized gut health protocols. As we navigate the world of our unique microbiomes, Jade unravels why cookie-cutter approaches to probiotics may not just be futile, but potentially detrimental. We share personal anecdotes and discuss how targeted strategies, informed by objective data, are revolutionizing the way we think about and care for our gut health.

If you're seeking a better understanding of your body's internal ecosystem and how to optimize it for your wellbeing, this is a conversation you won't want to miss. Listen in as we explore the profound impact of functional medicine testing in understanding gut dysfunction. Moving beyond the limited scope of conventional diagnostics, we discuss the rich, nuanced insights that functional testing offers. With a focus on the pivotal role of the practitioner in guiding patients through lifestyle transformations post-diagnosis, we stress the importance of informed choice. Whether it's selecting probiotics or embracing dietary changes, this discussion underscores the collaborative journey of health and the empowering partnership between patients and health educators.

Lastly, our dialogue shifts to the often overlooked connections between gut health, stress, hormonal balance, and societal pressures. From the effect of stress on gut sensitivity and bloating perception to the complex dance between gut flora and hormones, we tackle these subjects with a holistic lens. We challenge the rampant supplement culture, advocating for a more grounded approach to wellbeing that prioritizes nutrition and lifestyle adjustments. And as a special treat, our guest Jade imparts sage advice, reminding us all to trust life's process. We hope you love this episode as much as we did!
