In this episode of STANDOUT From The Crowd, Darine sits down with Dr. Deanna Rose, a licensed naturopathic doctor, sports nutritionist, and branding strategist dedicated to helping high-performing women entrepreneurs overcome stress and burnout. Dr. Rose, creator of the Wellth Method, shares her expertise on how gut health plays a foundational role in energy levels, mental well-being, and even skin health. They explore practical tips for gut healing, stress management, and maintaining energy for long-term success. Whether you're a busy professional, a leader, or an entrepreneur feeling the effects of hustle culture, this episode offers actionable advice on how to thrive sustainably.

Key Topics Discussed:

- The Importance of Gut Health for Energy and Mental Clarity

• How gut health affects not just digestion but also mood, mental health, and skin radiance.


• Insights into the gut-brain connection and how an imbalanced gut can lead to chronic fatigue and stress.  

- The Impact of Hustle Culture on Women’s Health

• Discussion on why hustle culture is particularly taxing on women leaders and how it contributes to chronic burnout.


• The importance of redefining success by prioritizing health over relentless productivity.

Key Takeaways:

• Gut Health is Central to Wellness: Maintaining a balanced gut is key to mental clarity, energy, and even skin health. Poor gut health can lead to increased stress levels and lower productivity.


• Redefining Hustle Culture for Health: Constantly pushing yourself in a hustle-focused culture can have negative impacts on both physical and mental health. Learning to balance ambition with wellness is essential for sustainable success.


• Burnout as a Growth Opportunity: Rather than viewing burnout as a setback, it can be an opportunity to realign with your values, rediscover your energy, and reignite your passion.


• Simple Steps, Big Impact: Small changes to diet, mindfulness practices, and daily routines can have significant effects on gut health and overall well-being.

Actionable Steps:

1. Track Your Diet and Mood Patterns: Start a simple journal where you note down what you eat, your stress levels, and energy fluctuations. This will help identify any patterns between diet, mood, and energy.


2. Introduce Gut-Friendly Foods: Incorporate probiotic-rich foods like yogurt, kombucha, and sauerkraut into your diet to support gut health. Limit processed foods and sugar, which can disrupt gut balance.


3. Practice Quick Stress-Relief Techniques: Take a few minutes each day for mindful breathing exercises or short meditative breaks to calm the nervous system and lower stress levels.

      4. Reevaluate Your Definition of Success: Reflect on whether your current goals align with your health and well-being. Shift your mindset from hustle-focused to a balanced approach that prioritizes sustainable energy and creativity.
