You're here because you're in the healthcare gap.
You're already doing the basics of exercise and eating healthy.
But you're also not so sick you need the care of a doctor.
You want answers that help you live your best life proactively.
If you’re burned out on diets, confused by your symptoms, and tired of being told “everything looks normal,” this show is for you.
Hosted by functional nutritionists Andrew Hayes and Kat Best, we cover the health issues most people struggle with but rarely talk about. Gut problems. Hormone chaos. Fatigue. Cravings. Mood swings. The difference between sustainable fat loss and trendy weight loss. Irregular poops. (Yes, we said it.)
Each week, we give you the tools to actually feel better - without crash diets, supplements you don’t need, or 4AM workouts.
No shame. No perfection. Just more clarity, not more effort.
Subscribe now and say goodbye to guessing on your health.

Why You Keep Getting Sick (pt 1) | Ep 44
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You don’t just “catch everything” because you have kids, ride the subway, or it’s cold season.
In this episode, we break down why conventional medicine’s germ-focused approach is only part of the story — and how it keeps people sick longer. From overusing antibiotics to masking symptoms instead of listening to them, we cover the biggest myths about illness and what to do instead. If you want fewer sick days and a stronger immune system, this is where it starts.
