EP 26. What's a surprising cause of leaky gut? Find out in this episode of Well Done, where I chat with Lisa Smith, functional dietician and host of the Pretty Well Podcast, to dive into what may be creating holes in our gut lining—yes, literal holes!

Lisa shares her personal health journey dealing with Hashimoto’s, and how we need to pay attention to symptoms that just won’t resolve. We also dive deep into the "three-legged stool" of autoimmunity, why conventional medicine's "pill for an ill" approach falls short, and how your subconscious mind might be the missing piece in your healing journey. Plus, if you’re a woman in your thirties or forties, you’ll want to pay attention to the discussion around hormonal imbalances and what we can do to feel better right now.

This conversation is packed with actionable strategies for anyone tired of band-aid solutions and ready to take action to feel better.

You’ll learn:

• The three-part system (perfect storm) behind autoimmune disease
• A shocking cause of leaky gut and what to do about it
• What “estrogen dominance” really is and how it affects your cycle and mood
• How your gut bacteria directly impacts hormone balance
• What functional medicine does differently to treat fatigue, migraines, and skin issues
• Simple daily changes that support gut health, stress resilience, and hormone harmony
• How we can rewire our subconscious for deep, lasting healing
