If you have frustratingly questioned why your gut just won’t heal, no matter how many diets, protocols, or supplements you’ve tried, you are not alone...and today’s episode brings clarity, insight, and practical guidance for anyone who has felt stuck in their gut healing journey.

I’m joined by Dr. Kate Davis, a Functional Medicine doctor who personally spent nearly a decade struggling with chronic gut issues—from bloating and constipation to IBS and acid reflux—before discovering a massive parasite infection. Her journey transformed the way she approaches gut health, and she’s since helped hundreds of people address chronic gut challenges in a safe, practical, and sustainable way.

In this conversation, we dive into:

• Why gut symptoms keep returning even when you feel like you’re doing everything right
• The critical role of hidden infections, stress, and organ function in gut health
• How to approach healing in the right sequence for lasting results
• Practical, actionable insights you can start applying immediately

Whether you’ve felt like you’ve tried everything or just want a deeper understanding of how your body really works, this episode offers a fresh perspective on supporting gut health without extremes or fear.

• Sticking to what works for you, even if it looks extreme to others
• The difference between knowledge and action when it comes to wellness
• Finding your intuition again in a world full of noise
• Troubleshooting real-life challenges without relying solely on external advice

In today’s episode, I’m first sharing a short personal update on my own experience after officially ditching traditional health insurance earlier this year — and then revisiting one of my favorite past conversations with CrowdHealth founder, Andy Schoonover.

If you’ve ever wondered how crowd-based healthcare actually works, what happens when something big comes up, or how it compares to the insurance system most of us are used to, this episode gives you a clear, honest look.

We discuss:

• How CrowdHealth works and why it's built so differently
• The flaws of traditional health insurance that keep you bound
• What makes crowd-funding such a smart and freeing alternative to standard health insurance
• Financial savings and comparisons
• Why this approach puts real care and decision-making back into your hands
