If you’ve ever felt dismissed, stuck in a cycle of symptoms, or overwhelmed trying to “fix” your health, this episode is for you.

I’m joined by Amy Kapeller, Integrative & Functional Nutrition Specialist and founder of Unbridled Holistic Health. Amy specializes in women’s health, hormones, and autoimmunity, and brings both professional expertise and lived experience to this conversation.

We talk about what it really looks like to advocate for yourself in the healthcare system, how to build a supportive health team, and why nervous system support is often the missing piece in chronic illness.

Amy also shares how she shifted from restriction to using food as a tool for healing, plus simple, realistic ways to start supporting your body without adding more overwhelm.

This episode is a reminder that healing doesn’t come from doing more, it comes from doing what actually works for your body.

In this episode, we cover:

• Amy’s journey navigating chronic illness and feeling unheard
• How to advocate for yourself and ask better questions
• What a supportive health team should look like
• Red flags to watch for in practitioners
• Nervous system support and why it matters (and how to do it!!)
• Using food as medicine without restriction
• Foundational nutrition principles for chronic symptoms
• What empowered healing really means
• Lifestyle non negotiables if you're dealing with chronic illness

If you have bloating, reflux, low energy, constipation, or feel like every meal is a guessing game for your gut, this episode is going to make so many things finally click.

This week on The Balance with Britt Podcast, I’m joined by Holistic Nutritionist Maryanne Wayland, a women’s gut health specialist who helps her clients get to the bottom of stubborn digestive symptoms through functional testing and root cause work.

Together, we unpack everything you have never been taught about stomach acid. Spoiler alert. Most women do not have too much stomach acid. They often have too little. And that imbalance can trigger bloating, indigestion, burping, nutrient deficiencies, fatigue, and even skin issues.

In this episode we cover

• What stomach acid actually is and why your body relies on it
• The biggest myths about acid reflux and why “too much acid” is rarely the problem
• The real signs of low stomach acid and how to tell the difference between low acid and true reflux
• How stress, rushing meals, and under-eating weaken digestion
• What low stomach acid does to nutrient absorption, energy, bowel movements, and your microbiome
• Why so many people are given antacids when they actually need more support, not suppression
• The risks of long term antacid or PPI use that no one talks about
• Foods and habits that naturally support healthy stomach acid levels
• Simple at home ways to get a sense of where your own stomach acid is at
• Thoughts on ACV, digestive bitters, minerals, and other natural tools
• When to work with a practitioner and the symptoms you should never ignore

If you are feeling

• Bloated after almost every meal
• Exhausted no matter how much you sleep
• Constipated or dealing with unpredictable digestion
• Foggy, puffy, or inflamed
• Confused by your reflux symptoms

This episode will help you understand what your body is trying to tell you and where to start.

In this empowering episode, I’m joined by Aeryon Ashlie, holistic nutritionist, keynote speaker, and best-selling author of Navigating Perimenopause. We dive into what’s really happening during perimenopause and how to move through it with confidence and clarity.

Aeryon shares her own story of early perimenopause, burnout, and rebuilding her health. She explains what’s going on hormonally, how to support your body with food and lifestyle, and why this phase can actually be a time to reconnect with yourself.

You’ll learn:

• The real signs of perimenopause that are often brushed off as “getting older”
• Why hormones like progesterone and testosterone matter for mood, sleep, and energy
• How to advocate for yourself and what lab tests to ask for
• The role of stress and adrenal health in hormone balance
• Nutrition tips like focusing on protein, magnesium, omega-3s, and creatine
• How movement, mindset, and small daily habits can make a big difference

This episode will leave you feeling empowered, informed, and supported. No more white-knuckling your way through hormone chaos.
