In this insightful episode of Let’s Talk Sh*t, host Lisa Garrett dives into the often-overlooked link between nervous system regulation and gut health.

She shares:

  • How to balance a high-achiever lifestyle with calming routines that truly restore your body

  • Practical ideas like scaling back intense workouts, trying cold showers, adding more complex carbs, and swapping gym time for playful outdoor activities

  • The power of foods like bone broth, ginger, and organic veggies to nourish your gut and support your nervous system

  • And a playful reminder that fun isn’t frivolous – it’s foundational for wellness.
