From gut health to lymphatic flow to holistic body sculpting, Dr. Patty brings practical tips, actionable advice, and plenty of laughs along the way.

Dr. Patty explains why daily bowel movements are a key sign of healthcare a key sign of health and offers tips to make sure everything is flowing smoothly. She also shares her journey from chiropractor to health concierge, where she’s all about addressing root causes rather than slapping on quick fixes.

Dr. Patty introduces us to her two exciting businesses ventures: Innate Roots, which focuses on gut health, hormone balance, and tackling parasites, and Tight Club, a holistic body-sculpting studio that uses fascia compression techniques to achieve results without surgery, pain, or downtime.

She’s all about supporting your lymphatic system—the unsung hero of your body’s filtration process—and offers simple, effective strategies like hydration, walking, and self-massage to keep it functioning at its best.

Dr. Patty breaks down the importance of gut health and explains what it really means, connecting the dots between your digestive system, lymphatic health, and overall wellness. She keeps it real with practical advice on how to listen to your body, prioritize your health concerns, and let the magic happen naturally—no quick fixes or gimmicks required.
