This week, we sit down with Zach Gates (celebrity and professional athlete trainer, and owner of one of LA’s most exclusive gyms) to talk about what really works when it comes to training, building muscle, and longevity.

In this episode, we asked him what women are doing wrong in the gym, how to train smarter, what’s actually worth spending your time and money on, and of course Zach’s best booty building tips.

We also trained with Zach before recording (and our booties are still paying for it). He called out how to actually structure your workouts, shared his go-to splits, and gave us a no-BS look into how he approaches performance, health, and balance.

If your goal is to get stronger, move better, and finally understand what works — this one’s for you!

We’re back for round 3 with our girl Micaela Riley (@bebalancedbymicaela) - and this might just be our favorite conversation yet.

Micaela shares her continued evolution in health, hormones, and mindset. From battling PCOS, burnout, and the “eat less, move more” mentality to rebuilding her metabolism, healing her gut, and building a strong, balanced body — this one’s packed with golden takeaways.

We also dive into what’s really going on behind the scenes of the wellness world: copycats on social media, staying authentic through algorithm chaos, and learning to live a little while still prioritizing your health.

Okay, let’s be real — no one wants to talk about poop… but your stool can actually tell you everything about your gut, hormones, and even your energy levels.

In this episode of Gut Talk, Jenna & Jill chat with Dr. Lahnor Powell from Genova Diagnostics, the team behind one of the most advanced gut health tests out there.

They dive into the world of stool testing — what it actually shows, how to read your results, and why it might be the missing piece in your health puzzle.

Here’s what we cover:

- What stool testing really measures (and why it’s not that gross, promise)

- Our real stool test results 😳

- The difference between traditional vs. naturopathic medicine

- Why your gut health depends on sleep, stress, and what’s on your plate

- How variety (yes, even in your veggies) can change everything

- The myths about gut health we all believed

Whether you’re constantly bloated, dealing with mystery gut issues, or just curious what your microbiome’s been up to — this episode will make you rethink your gut from the inside out.

This week on Gut Talk, we’re opening up about the highs and lows of health, wellness, and everything in between. Jill shares her recent experience of leaving a gynecologist who never listened and finally finding one who did — a reminder that advocating for yourself in the doctor’s office is everything. We also dive into a TikTok questioning why wellness influencers always seem to be “fixing” something, and share our unfiltered thoughts on the nuance of living in a sick society while trying to feel our best. And because life is about balance, we wrap it all up with Jenna’s skin updates, reflections, and a passionate Dancing with the Stars recap.

What we cover:

• Jill’s experience switching gynecologists & finally being heard
• Advocating for yourself in the medical system
• Vaginal health taboos & approaches
• Are wellness influencers always “fixing” something?
• How to filter health content without overwhelm
• Jenna’s take on skin struggles & nervous system health
• Dancing with the Stars recap (yes, it’s serious business)
• What’s next in the new era of Gut Talk
