Why True Freedom Starts With Your Health: Gut Healing, Nervous System Support, and Simple Daily Shifts with Stephanie Grosvenor

Ever wonder why you feel tired all the time, or why no matter how much you "eat clean," you're still bloated, breaking out, or running on fumes? Most of us chalk it up to stress, getting older, or just "how our body is." But here's the thing: it's not normal. It's your gut waving a giant red flag.

In this episode, we're unpacking why so many people are living at 30-40% of their potential without even realising it - and how your gut health is at the center of it all. And to take us there, we've got Stephanie Grosvenor, a functional medicine coach.

For years, Stephanie thought feeling awful was just "normal." She battled fatigue, cystic acne, gut pain, anxiety, and sleepless nights - and every doctor she saw handed her another pill, another excuse, or told her it was "just in her head." It wasn't until she turned to functional medicine and nutrition that she discovered the real root: her gut.

In this episode, she's breaking down why quick-fix diets don't work, how resistance sneaks in when you try to change, and the simple shifts that can move you from confusion and exhaustion into real clarity, energy, and freedom.
