GUT TALK with Jill & Jenna

This week we're joined by wellness educator and creator Grace Terrell (@_gracefulwellness) for a conversation about gut health, inflammation, hormones, supplements, and why so many women are doing all the "healthy" things but still don't feel their best.Grace shares the health journey that led her into holistic wellness, the symptoms women have normalized that shouldn't be considered normal, and the powerful connection between gut health, hormones, skin, mood, energy, and the nervous system.We also dive into inflammation, the habits that supported Grace's 20-pound weight loss, the supplements she actually takes, how to spot supplement industry red flags, and the wellness myths she wishes would disappear.Plus, we're answering your questions on hormone balance, gluten and dairy, cycle syncing, coffee on an empty stomach, and the best things you can do to support your gut every day.In this episode, we cover:Why healthy women can still feel tired, bloated, and inflamedSymptoms that shouldn't be ignoredThe gut-hormone-skin connectionStress, the nervous system, and healingGrace's approach to reducing inflammationHer 20-pound weight loss journeyThe supplements she actually usesWhy bioavailability and liposomal delivery matterSupplement red flags and what to look for insteadGut health myths and detox cultureAudience Q&AThis episode is brought to you in partnership with TerraHealth Essentials.

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 womenWhy men are 50% of the fertility equation — and barely in the conversationWhat everyday habits are quietly wrecking male fertilityWhy 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 conceptionThe fertility red flags people have normalizedTheir most unpopular hot takes — including whether women are being gaslit about their symptomsWhat they want every woman feeling hopeless in her fertility journey to hearOffer exclusively for the GUT TALK community:Start your WeNatal routine today by going to wenatal.com/GUTTALK and receive a free Rest+Digest Magnesium supplement ($40 value) with your first prenatal subscription.Where to find WeNatal:Website: wenatal.com/GUTTALKInstagramConnect with us:If this conversation hit something for you, come tell us in the DMs. Find us on Instagram @guttalkpodcast.
