This week, Tee is excited to welcome Anu Simh for a deep dive into the importance of gut health and its profound impact on overall wellness. Anu, a board-certified functional health coach and founder of 9 Arms of Wellness, shares her personal journey from struggling with gut issues to becoming a trusted coach who helps busy women reach their weight and wellness goals through gut-focused strategies. The conversation explores how common challenges—such as stress eating, weight gain, yo-yo dieting, mental fog, and chronic fatigue—are often rooted in gut health. Tee and Anu also examine the role of toxins, diet, water quality, and lifestyle shifts in supporting a healthy microbiome.

Anu also introduces her soon-to-be-published book, “Flourish From Within,” which highlights the critical connection between gut health and well-being and features over 50 plant-based recipes. Listeners will come away with actionable tips for improving gut health, gaining awareness of harmful chemicals like glyphosate and BPA, and making small, sustainable changes that lead to lasting results. Anu shares details about her coaching programs, group cohorts, and the many resources available on her website. Whether you're a young mother, a busy professional, or someone simply seeking better health, this episode offers practical guidance to help you flourish from within.

What if the key to feeling balanced, energized, and truly well isn’t another supplement or detox program, but the tiny ecosystem living inside you? In this episode, Tee welcomes Dr. Mandy Patterson to explore the essential role of the microbiome in overall wellness. Dr. Mandy is a naturopathic doctor, certified holistic health coach, functional medicine practitioner, and fertility specialist committed to helping high-performing women and couples uncover the root causes of their hormone and fertility challenges.

From her roots in the cornfields of Indiana to becoming a mother of six, Dr. Mandy shares the pivotal experiences that led her to specialize in women’s hormone and fertility health. She explains how everyday choices like diet, product use, and environmental exposure can impact gut health and, in turn, influence hormone balance, immunity, and mood. Emphasizing preventive care and holistic approaches, Dr. Mandy offers practical guidance on improving wellness through whole foods, reducing toxin exposure, and intentional self-care. This episode is a powerful reminder of the importance of trusting your gut—literally and figuratively—and seeking care that addresses the whole person, not just the symptoms.
