Update: 2025-09-17
Description
This week on Gut Talk, we’re opening up about the highs and lows of health, wellness, and everything in between. Jill shares her recent experience of leaving a gynecologist who never listened and finally finding one who did — a reminder that advocating for yourself in the doctor’s office is everything. We also dive into a TikTok questioning why wellness influencers always seem to be “fixing” something, and share our unfiltered thoughts on the nuance of living in a sick society while trying to feel our best. And because life is about balance, we wrap it all up with Jenna’s skin updates, reflections, and a passionate Dancing with the Stars recap.
