If you’re constipated… and your ferritin won’t improve… this episode is for you. Constipation isn’t just uncomfortable, it's often a sign that your digestive system, minerals, and stress response are all under strain, and when that happens, iron can be one of the first things to stall. In this episode, I connect the dots between: ConstipationFatigueLow ferritinSlow stomach acidMineral depletionSluggish bile flowStress (both internal and external)Because ferritin doesn’t improve just because y...
If you’ve been told to “just take iron” for low ferritin and it either didn’t work or made you feel worse, this episode is for you. In this episode, I’m sharing my personal postpartum ferritin story and walking through why iron alone wasn’t the answer for me… or for so many of the clients I work with. Low ferritin is one of the most misunderstood labs I see. And for most people, it’s not about iron intake. It’s about whether the body is actually ready to absorb, use, recycle, and store iron. ...
If you’re wondering whether food sensitivity testing will finally explain your bloating, constipation, or GI reactions, this episode is for you. We talk through why food sensitivity lists often keep growing, what those results are actually reflecting, and why eliminating more foods doesn’t always lead to lasting relief. You’ll learn how digestion, stress, and immune signaling influence food reactions, why many people feel worse after doing “everything right,” and what question to ask in...
Let's be real: eating healthy was the answer, you’d already have relief from your bloating and constipaiton. Most of the women we work with are already doing the “right” things including: eating whole foods, avoiding junk, taking supplements, and yet, they are still dealing with bloating, constipation, and a gut that feels unpredictable. In this episode, I break down why that happens and what’s actually missing. You’ll learn why clean eating alone doesn't fix GI issues, how mineral depl...
How often do you say no to plans because you don’t know how your stomach will feel? Have you ever checked a menu days in advance, chosen clothes based on bloating, or left an event early just so you could be comfortable? Living with gut symptoms affects so much more than digestion. It quietly shapes your decisions, your energy, and how present you feel in your own life. In this episode of Love Your Gut, I share my own story of navigating bloating and gut issues in my 20s, including how sympto...
Do you feel like you’re always starting over when it comes to your gut health? Every January (or month, Monday, etc), you might decide this will be the year you finally fix your digestion. You start strong… and then a few weeks later, everything falls apart. In this episode, Dr. Heather explains why that happens and why it has nothing to do with willpower or discipline (you might be surprised what it is that actually holds you back!) This episode is a conversation about nervous system r...
I love trying new things and this episode is my annual roundup of the products that actually earned a spot in my real life this year. In this episode, I’m sharing my Favorite Things of 2025, including gut-friendly staples to nervous system supports, mineral must-haves, mom life helpers, and business tools that genuinely make life easier. Here’s the important part: You don’t need gadgets or a ton of products to heal your gut. The foundations matter most: sunlight, nervous system regulation, la...
If the holidays always feel like the hardest time of year for your gut with the bloating, the constipation, the fatigue, the heaviness after meals then this episode will feel like a deep breath. The truth is… the holidays aren’t the problem. Restriction, stress, poor digestion, and an unsupported gut foundation are. In today’s episode, Dr. Heather breaks down exactly how to support your gut through the holidays without eliminating foods, micromanaging your plate, or white-knuckling your way t...
So many women do everything right — eat well, exercise, get their labs checked — and still feel tired, puffy, bloated, or frustrated when their skin flares and their energy crashes. And when bloodwork comes back “normal,” it’s easy to feel confused or even dismissed. This conversation brings so much clarity to what your body may actually be asking for: mineral support. In Part 2 of Heather Brown’s HTMA review, we unpack her real mineral test results and explore how hidden imbalances — like hi...
So many women move through pregnancy feeling exhausted, puffy, bloated, and overwhelmed by symptoms that never quite make sense. And when labs come back “normal,” it’s easy to feel confused or even dismissed. This conversation brings clarity to what your body is actually asking for: minerals and electrolytes. In this episode, we talk through why electrolytes for pregnancy matter far more than most people realize, how fatigue and bloat are often rooted in mineral depletion, and why supporting ...
Weight Loss Resistance, Stress, and the Mineral Patterns Behind a “Stuck” Metabolism Today’s episode features an incredibly relatable story from Lindsay, a marriage and family therapist, military wife, mom of two, and someone who felt like she was doing everything “right”: eating well, following the plan, exercising, pushing herself… and still gaining weight, feeling exhausted, and being told her labs were “normal.” After pregnancy and years of intense stress, deployments, and living abroad, ...
In today’s episode, I’m joined by my mom, aka the one and only Queen Alice, to share her hilarious (and kind of wild) story about how supporting her minerals completely changed her health. For years, she struggled with intense leg cramps, we’re talking full-body, middle-of-the-night, can’t-move kind of cramps. Doctors told her to drink more water, stretch, or just “deal with it.” But nothing worked… until we ran an HTMA test and discovered the real root cause: mineral depletion from years of ...
When Lacey started losing handfuls of hair postpartum, she thought it had to be a hormone problem. Her labs were “normal,” her doctor told her to give it more time, and yet, she didn’t feel like herself. That’s when we ran an HTMA test (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) and found what was really going on beneath the surface: extreme mineral depletion from pregnancy, breastfeeding, stress, and lack of sleep. In this episode, you’ll hear: How mineral depletion can mimic hormone issues like hair los...
What if the biggest thing holding you back from healing isn’t your diet, your labs, or your supplement routine, but your beliefs about what’s possible? In this episode, Dr. Heather shares a deeply personal look at how she went from being the “shy girl” no one expected much from, to struggling with gut issues and exhaustion, to finally building a thriving practice, all by learning to stop defending her limitations. You’ll learn how the stories you tell yourself shape your physiology, why your ...
If you’ve ever looked at a stool test and felt completely overwhelmed by all the bacteria names, numbers, and colors, you’re not alone. In this episode, Dr. Heather breaks down exactly what your stool test says about your symptoms, from bloating and constipation to hormone imbalance, fatigue, and skin issues. You’ll learn why stool testing goes far beyond “good vs. bad bacteria,” and how it maps out your digestion, detox pathways, immune health, and overall gut terrain. Dr. Heather explains w...
If you’ve ever been told your iron or ferritin is “low” but no one can explain why then this episode is for you. Iron issues are rarely just about your diet or supplements. They’re often a reflection of what’s happening in your gut. In this episode, Dr. Heather breaks down how stomach acid, infections like H. pylori, mineral balance, and inflammation all impact how your body absorbs and uses iron. You’ll learn: ✅ The real difference between ferritin and serum iron (and why both ma...
Fibermaxxing is the latest wellness Tik Tok trend which involves loading up on beans, seeds, and high-fiber foods in the name of better gut health. But is more fiber always better? For some, adding fiber means smoother digestion, steadier blood sugar, and more energy. For others, it leads to gas, constipation, or bloating that only gets worse. So what’s the truth? In this episode of the Love Your Gut podcast, Dr. Heather breaks down what fibermaxxing gets right, what it gets wrong, and how to...
Have you been told “everything looks normal” on your labs, scopes, or bloodwork but you still feel bloated, constipated, or exhausted? You’re not alone.

We’ll cover...
If you’ve been dealing with reflux, bloating, constipation, or even anxiety and can’t figure out why, histamines might be part of the picture. In this episode, I’m joined by Michelle Shapiro, RD, to break down the connection between histamine intolerance, MCAS, and gut symptoms and why so many people feel worse with standard gut protocols. Michelle and I discuss: What histamine intolerance really is and how it overlaps with MCASThe wide range of symptoms histamine issues can cause (and ...
Have you ever told yourself, “It’s not that bad , I’ll deal with it later” when it comes to your gut symptoms (or anything?)? I get it because I did the same thing. For years, I brushed off my bloating, constipation, and fatigue, hoping they’d go away. But ignoring those whispers from my gut eventually led to bigger problems: SIBO, Hashimoto’s, a slowed metabolism, and histamine issues. Here’s the truth: your symptoms aren’t random. They’re signals & your gut waving a red flag asking for ...
