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 Self-Sabotaging (Even When You Know Better) | Ep. 89
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We've all done it. Had a great week of eating clean and blown it all on a Friday night. Bought the program, watched every video, and never actually done the thing. Andrew and Kat get into why we keep doing this to ourselves, and it has way less to do with discipline than you'd think.
Kat breaks down the three patterns hiding behind almost every self-sabotage moment: perfectionism (if it can't be perfect, why even try), upper limiting (getting scared of your own success and quietly dragging yourself back down), and resistance (staying "busy" so you never have to face the thing that actually matters). She also gets real about torching an actual modeling contract years ago because she couldn't handle the fear that came with it.
This one's not about calling yourself lazy. It's about finally naming the fear that's been running the show.
06:06 — The calcium supplement headline everyone's talking about (and why it's not the whole story)
16:16 — What self-sabotage actually is and why your brain is doing it on purpose 22:57 — The three patterns: perfectionism, fear of success, and staying "busy" to avoid what matters
37:52 — The 60-second fix: how naming your fear kills its power
