In this eye-opening episode of Let’s Talk Sht*, host Lisa Garrett takes you far beyond the usual mental health advice and into the deeper, lesser-known truth: your gut and your brain are in constant conversation—whether you realize it or not.
Lisa shares her own journey through decades of anemia, postpartum struggles, chronic fatigue, and “faking happiness,” revealing how healing her gut transformed her mood, clarity, energy, and joy in life.
She breaks down the HPA axis—the body’s stress command center—and explains how food, stress, sleep, and hormones create a domino effect that can either fuel anxiety, depression, weight gain, insomnia, and irritability… or finally give you your spark back.
You’ll learn why supplements alone don’t fix anything, why intermittent fasting can backfire for stressed or hormonal bodies, and why real nourishment—not restriction—is the key to restoring balance, resilience, mental clarity, and self-trust.
Lisa leaves you with empowering, actionable tools you can use immediately to support your gut, your hormones, and your whole mental landscape.
