Live Health Assessment Series: Circadian Health, SIBO, and Nervous System Regulation with Clarke

Most people trying to fix their health are starting in the middle of the story. What Clarke's Health Foundations Assessment revealed is that his digestion wasn't actually the problem, it was a consequence. His circadian rhythm and nervous system regulation were quietly running the show, shaping everything from his morning energy to when he finally felt hungry enough to eat dinner at 9 PM. In this live assessment review, I sit down with Clarke to walk through his results and talk honestly about the habits that have been part of his routine for over a decade. We get into morning light exposure, the cortisol and appetite connection, why eating late disrupts sleep even when sleep feels fine, and how small, consistent shifts in daily rhythm can change the way your body responds to stress. Clarke brings a lot of self-awareness to this conversation, and I think you'll find his perspective on implementing these strategies genuinely relatable. Clarke was the first person to kick off my new series where real people walk through their actual results with me so you can see what this process looks like from the inside out, not just in theory. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN: <ul class="[li_&]:mb-0 [li_&]:mt-1 [li_&]:gap-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3"> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Why a history of SIBO doesn't mean your digestion is broken, and what actual recovery tells you about your body's resilience (00:04:30)</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">How morning light exposure sets your cortisol curve and why it's the foundational circadian rhythm tip most people skip (00:11:00)</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Why high cortisol during a busy workday suppresses appetite and sets up late-night overeating (00:22:00)</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">How to down-regulate your nervous system before meals so your body can actually digest what you eat (00:25:00)</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Why you literally cannot have high melatonin when insulin is elevated, and what that means for sleep quality (00:19:30)</li> </ul> RESOURCES MENTIONED Health Foundations Assessment: <a class="underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current" href="https://foundations.primetonourish.com/">https://foundations.primetonourish.com</a> CONNECT AND SUPPORT THE SHOW Subscribe to the podcast for upcoming episodes on nutrition, digestion, nervous system regulation, and circadian health.

Why Do I Feel Sick After Eating? Anna Kluver-Fensler, on IBS, Chronic Bloating, and Learning to Listen to Your Body

Most people assume feeling sick after eating is just their normal. Anna Kluver-Fensler thought the same thing for years, until a Friday night pizza and beer left her convinced something was about to come ripping out of her stomach, and she finally couldn't ignore it anymore. In this episode, I sit down with Anna to walk through what her path actually looked like, from that first alarming episode to a Breckenridge trip where she felt bloated after every meal and couldn't enjoy a single margarita without brain fog hitting within 20 minutes. We talk about her IBS diagnosis, her decision to refuse medication, and how personalized nutrition coaching changed the way she understood her own body. What I love most about Anna's story is that it isn't a straight line. There were summers full of sugary canned cocktails, moments of sliding off track, and real-life situations where rigid rules would have set her up to quit entirely. We also get into alcohol and blood sugar, why chronic bloating causes vary so much from person to person, and why the goal was never perfection. Anna Kluver-Fensler is a client and longtime friend who has been doing this work for several years. She's also a wellness coach and former teacher who brings genuine curiosity and self-awareness to everything she does. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN: - Why bloating after every meal isn't something you just have to live with, and what finally pushed Anna to stop accepting her symptoms as normal (00:03:00) - How alcohol and blood sugar are connected, and why that one margarita made Anna feel horrible within 20 minutes (00:08:00) - Why chronic bloating causes look completely different from person to person, even when the symptoms seem identical (00:13:30) - How to stop thinking in "on or off the wagon" terms and build an approach that actually holds up through holidays, camping trips, and girls' nights (00:23:30) - Why adding foods in gradually works better than elimination for building a lasting healthy relationship with food (00:39:00) RESOURCES MENTIONED Health Foundations Assessment: <a href="https://foundations.primetonourish.com">https://foundations.primetonourish.com</a> CONNECT AND SUPPORT THE SHOW Subscribe to the podcast for upcoming episodes on nutrition, digestion, nervous system regulation, and circadian health.

The Hair Mineral Test That Reveals What Blood Work Misses, featuring Desiree Reed

What if the reason your bloodwork keeps coming back "normal" but you still feel exhausted, emotionally flat, and completely depleted isn't in your head... it's in your cells? Hair tissue mineral analysis looks at what's been happening on a cellular level for the last three to four months, and for a lot of high-achieving women, the picture it reveals is eye-opening. I sat down with Desiree Reed to talk about what HTMA actually is, how it differs from a standard blood test, and why so many driven, fitness-focused women are unknowingly running on empty. We get into the four main minerals the test measures, what heavy metal detox symptoms can signal about displacement, and the calcium shell pattern that shows up when the body has been under prolonged stress. We also have a real conversation about intermittent fasting for women and hormones, and why skipping breakfast has quietly become an excuse that feels virtuous but makes everything worse for women with dysregulated energy. Whether you've heard of a hair mineral test before or this is brand new, this episode gives you a grounded, practical look at what your minerals are actually telling you. Desiree Reed is a former nurse with a master's in nursing and a newly completed master's in clinical nutrition, as well as a certified nutritional therapy practitioner at RR Integrative Nutrition. She specializes in functional lab testing, with HTMA as a cornerstone of her practice, and works with high-achieving busy women to uncover the root causes behind fatigue, burnout, and the symptoms that conventional testing keeps missing. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN: <ul> <li>Why a hair tissue mineral analysis captures what blood tests miss, and what "normal" labs actually mean for your body's mineral reserves. (10:30)</li> <li>What magnesium deficiency signs look like on an HTMA test, and why high or low readings don't mean what most people think. (13:30)</li> <li>How the calcium shell pattern connects emotional numbness, zero motivation, and relentless gym attendance to a stress response happening below the surface. (20:30)</li> <li>Why intermittent fasting and skipping breakfast can backfire for women with depleted minerals and dysregulated hormones. (28:30)</li> <li>How a client with severe chronic constipation finally got resolution after years of work, once her minerals were properly addressed.
