#172: Parasites have become one of the biggest conversations in wellness— but how much of it is actually legitimate, and where has the internet taken it way too far? This week we're joined by Kim Rogers, aka the Worm Queen.We get into how common parasites actually are, what happens in the body when someone gets one, and the most common (and most surprising) ways people are exposed. Then we dig into the symptoms — bloating, fatigue, skin issues, cravings, even teeth grinding — that get blamed on parasites online, and which of those are actually legitimate versus wildly overhyped.We also cover parasite cleanses: who actually needs one, what red flags to watch for, and the truth about "die-off" symptoms. Kim walks us through her ParaFy protocol, what was missing from the products already on the market, and how to know if an approach like this is right for you.Finally, we get into the everyday stuff — sushi, washing produce, pets, travel — and how concerned you should actually be about each one.Here's what we get into:How common parasites actually are, and what a parasite even isHow people actually get exposed (and the myths around it)Symptoms that might indicate a parasite — and which ones are wildly overblown onlineHow parasites are tested and confirmedWho actually needs a parasite cleanse, and the red flags to watch forShould you have sushi?The truth about "die-off" symptomsKim's ParaFy protocol — what's in it, why, and how to know if it's right for youEveryday risk: sushi, produce washing, hygiene, travel, and petsThe 3 things Kim wishes everyone would do differently after this episodeConnect with us:GET A PARAFY PARASITE CLEANSE KIT HERE: Use code GUTTALK for 20% off your orderFollow Kim Rogers: YouTubeTiktokInstagramSPONSORS:Farmer FocusKionIf this episode resonated, share it with a friend who needs to hear it.

This week's Sister Solo is a full life update. We're getting into why the lack of an AM/PM routine is genuinely messing with us right now, coming out of seasonal depression, why dating is HARD, and the very real struggle of feeling like two different people depending on whether we're at work or at home (if you know, you know).We're also breaking down what's actually worth your attention in wellness right now — a new peanut butter ice cream for bears launch we can't stop talking about, AG1's new gummies, gluten-free Goldfish, a major acquisition in the better-for-you snack space, a beverage brand leaving the market, an electrolyte launch worth knowing about, and a wild new wearable that tracks blood flow to your head.Plus, Practitioner's Corner — why water quality actually matters and what we look for in a filter — and our current favorites, all linked for you to shop.Here's what we get into:Why we desperately need an AM/PM routineComing out of seasonal depressionDating is HARDThe Hannah Montana of it all: feeling like two different people at work vs. at homeOur Dancing With the Stars hot takesICFB's new peanut butter launchAG1 gummiesGluten-free GoldfishPurely Elizabeth's acquisitionUnwell Beverages leaving the marketTruvani's new electrolytes with monk fruit sweetenerLumia — the earrings that track blood flow to your headPractitioner's Corner: why water quality matters (and what we use)Current favorites — all linked on our ShopMyShop our current favorites: https://shopmy.us/shop/jillandjenna?tab=collections&Section_id=1016140Connect with us:Follow us on Instagram: @guttalkpodcastEPSIODE SPONSOR:FARMER FOCUS: https://www.farmerfocus.com/store-locator/

This week we're joined by Dr. Antonia — she holds a Master's in Neuroscience and a Doctorate of Chiropractic, and takes a truly holistic approach to how she treats patients. We get into why chiropractic care is about so much more than cracking your back, and spend the bulk of this conversation on the nervous system — how it connects to chiropractic care, why regulation tools don't work if your nervous system is still dysregulated, and what daily practices actually help.We also cover the corporate-desk-job reality most of us are living in — posture, tech neck, and what to actually do about the toll of staring at a screen all day. And we get into hormones, metabolic health, and a few tools Dr. Antonia swears by, including red light therapy and cranial work.If you've ever tried a breathing exercise or a meditation app and felt like "this isn't working for me," this episode explains why — and what actually helps.Here's what we get into:Why a chiropractor is more than just someone who cracks your backWhat to actually look for when choosing a chiropractorThe real benefits of consistent adjustments — including how it can improve sleep & anxietyHow to protect your posture and health at a desk jobTech neck — what it's actually doing to your spine and what to do about itHow the nervous system and chiropractic care are connectedWhy regulation tools don't work on a dysregulated nervous systemDaily practices that actually help regulate your nervous systemTools to maintain regulation once you've gotten thereThe connection between anxiety and physical pain — and how to recognize itWhy metabolic efficiency matters and how to support it (including how you eat and walking after meals)The upper cervical spine — what to knowRed light therapy — why Dr. Antonia uses itCranial work — what it is and why she uses it as a treatmentSemi Rapid Fire:Who Dr. Antonia follows for health inspirationHer one tool for nervous system regulation, if she could only pick oneShoe recommendations from a chiropractor's perspectiveBook recommendations for nervous system regulationWhat to look for in a pillowMorning and night routine additions for a healthy body and mindHer best purchase this yearConnect with Dr. Antonia:Follow Dr. Antonia on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.antoniadenison/Follow Dr. Antonia on Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.antoniadenisonWork with Dr. Antonia in San Diego: https://wellnesswavechiropractic.janeapp.com/#/staff_member/019fe80b-0c66-797a-a9e6-0fdbd0c4e679If this episode resonated, share it with a friend who needs to hear it.

This week we're sitting down with Anna Rinke, Co-founder of Homebody Studios, for a conversation that covers SO much.We get into what burnout actually felt like for her before anyone else could see it, the delusion it takes to build something from nothing, and the advice she'd give any woman who looks successful on paper but knows deep down she's unhappy. We also dig into how Homebody actually came together, what building a real brand (not just a studio) looks like, and the boundaries she's had to build for herself now that work no longer comes before everything else.Anna has also become a real force online when it comes to AI education, so we get into what people are getting wrong about it, how to actually start using it if you're only using it like a fancier Google search, and how she uses it to level up her own life.We close out talking about what she's reading, watching, and listening to right now — the books that changed her life, the podcasts making her smarter, and the people whose brains she's obsessed with.Here's what we get into:Anna's path from corporate to founding HomebodyWhat burnout looked like for her before anyone else could see itAdvice for the woman who's successful on paper but knows she's unhappyThe delusion it takes to build something successfulHow Homebody actually came together — and why she saw room in a saturated marketThe difference between opening a studio and building a brandWhat real community actually looks likeHer take on the pilates vs. weightlifting debateThe health and fitness non-negotiables she lives by nowHow she became an AI education force online — and what people are getting wrongPractical tips for using AI in your workplace and your personal lifeThe books, podcasts, and people who've shaped how she thinksWhat she's currently obsessed with, reading, and consumingConnect with Anna:Follow Anna: https://www.instagram.com/annanoellerinke/?hl=enFind Anna on Substack: https://annanoellerinke.substack.com/Follow Homebody: https://www.instagram.com/homebody__studios/?hl=enIf this episode resonated, share it with a friend who needs to hear it. 🍒
