How I Healed Years of Inflammation — The 5 Pillars That Actually Worked (SISTER SOLO) Jun 25, 2026

Show notes

In this Sister Solo, Jenna walks through the 5 pillars that finally healed her after years of chronic gut issues, inflammation, bloating, hormonal acne, and feeling like sh*t no matter what she tried.

If you've been doing all the "right" wellness things — eating clean, drinking water, taking supplements — and you still feel exhausted, bloated, or stuck in your body, this episode is for you.

Jenna and Jill get real about Jenna's 2019-2023 era — the symptoms she normalized, the all-or-nothing trap that made her sicker, and the moment she realized the answer wasn't more restriction. It was less.

We walk through the exact 5-pillar framework that changed everything — including the pillar nobody in wellness wants to talk about.

In this episode:

Jenna's "before" era: the symptoms she normalized that weren't normal
The all-or-nothing wellness trap and how it made her sicker
Pillar 1: Drainage — the foundation nobody talks about
Pillar 2: Gut health — and why probiotics aren't the answer
Pillar 3: Metabolic health — and why undereating is making women sicker
Pillar 4: Strength training — the day everything changed
Pillar 5: Curating a slower, intentional, balanced life — the pillar nobody talks about
The toxic friend audit
What every woman feeling stuck in her body needs to hear

The Case for Trimester 0 and Why Men Are 50% of the Fertility Equation with the Founders of WeNatal, Ronit Menashe & Vida Delrahim Jun 03, 2026

Show notes

This week we're sitting down with Ronit Menashe and Vida Delrahim — the founders of WeNatal — for a conversation that needs to be had. Both Ronit and Vida went through miscarriages around the same time, and what they discovered through their own fertility journeys completely changed how they think about women's health, men's health, and the entire fertility industry.

If you've ever felt like fertility was something only your body was responsible for figuring out — or you've been handed a prenatal at your OB's office without anyone explaining what's actually in it — this episode is for you.

Here's what we get into:

Ronit and Vida's personal fertility journeys and the moment they realized this was being put all on women
Why men are 50% of the fertility equation — and barely in the conversation
What everyday habits are quietly wrecking male fertility
Why most prenatals are under-dosed or full of low-quality ingredients (and what to actually look for)
The role of metabolic health, stress, and nervous system regulation in conception
The fertility red flags people have normalized
Their most unpopular hot takes — including whether women are being gaslit about their symptoms
What they want every woman feeling hopeless in her fertility journey to hear

The Truth Behind “Better For You” Ice Cream with Alec’s Ice Cream Founder, Alec Jaffe May 20, 2026

Show notes

This week we're sitting down with the founder of Alec's Ice Cream — the brand making ice cream that's genuinely indulgent and genuinely better for you. And no, those two things aren't a contradiction.

If you've been around Gut Talk for a while, you know how we feel about the wellness world's obsession with demonizing food. Ice cream is one of the most fear-mongered foods out there — and this episode is a refreshing, honest conversation about why that needs to stop. We get into A2 dairy, regenerative farming, and why "healthifying" everything might be missing the point entirely.

This one's for anyone who wants the real story behind a "better for you" brand — the ingredients, the business, and the truth about the healthy-dessert aisle.

Here's what we get into:

How a kid making ice cream turned it into a real business — and the moment the gap in the market became obvious
What "indulgent but feel-good" actually means (and why that's not a marketing gimmick)
Why the wellness world has spent years demonizing foods like ice cream — and why that's a problem
A2 dairy explained simply — what it is, how it's different from regular dairy, and why your gut might care
The honest story behind the regenerative dairy sourcing challenge, and what they prioritize for quality now
Why they removed seed oils, gums, and fillers — and how they develop new flavors
The hardest parts of scaling a perishable product, and what raising $11M actually changed
Ice cream hot takes: is most "healthy ice cream" just marketing? Are low-calorie desserts missing the point?
The hardest decision he's had to make as a founder

PEPTIDES FOR YOUR SKIN?! Regenerative Skincare: The Skin Industry's Best-Kept Secret with Sara Douglas of Cellure May 06, 2026

Show notes

This week we're sitting back down with Sara Douglas — but this time we're talking about her other brand, Cellure. (If you missed our episode on Vitaclean, go listen after this one.)

Sara is one of those rare founders who doesn't build companies for the sake of building — she builds them because she's lived the problem. Her skin journey is the reason Cellure exists, and what she's learned about how skin actually heals (vs. how the skincare industry tells you it heals) is going to change how you think about your routine.

We're getting into why most skincare only addresses surface-level issues, what it actually means to have a damaged skin barrier, and the new category Sara's brand is building: regenerative skincare. Spoiler — it's a completely different approach to anti-aging, inflammation, and skin healing than what's on most shelves right now.

If you've been throwing money at serums, sheet masks, and 12-step routines and your skin is still pissed at you, this episode is going to make a lot of things click.

Here's what we get into:

Sara's real skin journey and the moment she realized traditional skincare wasn't cutting it
How Cellure connects to Vitaclean (yes, they go together — and there's a reason)
Why most skincare only treats the surface — and why that approach will never give you the results you want
What a damaged skin barrier actually is, the signs you have one, and how to actually fix it
What "regenerative skincare" means in simple, non-marketing terms
Cellure's three targeted serums — Peptide Hydro Lift, Volufiline, and Tranexamic Acid — and what each one does
The biggest skincare mistakes most women are making right now
Whether you can use these alongside retinol and other actives — and how to layer them correctly

The Truth About Your Shower Water and Its Impact on Your Hair and Skin, with the Co-Founders of Vitaclean, Sara Douglas and Kristina Velkova Apr 29, 2026

Show notes

This week we're sitting down with Sara Douglas and Kristina Velkova, the co-founders of Vitaclean — the shower filter that's quietly fixing the thing nobody told us was a problem: our shower water.

If you've ever wondered why your skin breaks out, your hair feels brittle, or your scalp is dry no matter how many products you throw at it — this episode is going to make you look at your shower differently. We're getting into what's actually in the water coming out of your faucet (chlorine, minerals, and a few things you don't want to know about), why Texas hair is a real phenomenon, and what we both noticed when we started filtering our showers.

Sara and Kristina also walk us through how they built Vitaclean — two women, a real problem, and a category that's blowing up right now for a reason.

Here's what we get into:

How Sara and Kristina met and what made them go from idea to actual business — the real version, not the LinkedIn version
The personal hair and skin struggles that started this whole thing
What's actually in your shower water (you're going to want to sit down)
Why Texas water is wrecking Jill's hair and why Jenna's back acne might be a water issue, not a skincare issue
Why the shower filter category is exploding right now — and whether water quality is genuinely getting worse
How the 3-stage Vitaclean filter actually works (and why Vitamin C is the hero ingredient)
What makes Vitaclean different from every other filter on the market
The new Vitaclean Ultra — what it is, who it's for
What you'll actually notice after you start using one (and how fast)
Sara and Kristina's personal shower routines — products, ingredients, the stuff they swear by, and what they avoid
Their favorite health hacks right now

SISTER SOLO: The Scrappy Reality of Building a Business, Pepsi's New Fiber Soda, and Giving Up Protein??? Apr 22, 2026

Show notes

We're back!! And this time from the studio we ACTUALLY built — kind of. It's mostly done. Sitting-on-the-floor era → full studio in 5 days and we are still a little bit in shock.

This one's just us. No guest, no script, just two sisters catching up on what's actually going on behind the scenes of building a business, why we're over influencer drama, and the health trends we're low-key side-eyeing right now.

What we get into:

- The studio glow up — going from zero to a real space in less than a week. Shoutout to the team who made it happen, we love you.

- The not-so-aesthetic part of owning a business — loans, landlord meetings, fighting with Amazon over a missing mic. It's not all pretty lighting and iced matchas.

- The Alex vs. Alix of it all — we're genuinely so over the influencer drama. Our dad told us to "go read a book and climb a tree" and honestly? That's the energy we're bringing into 2026.

Health hot takes:

Pepsi's fiber soda — is it a health move or just giving gimmick? (Spoiler: we're sticking with our gut-friendly faves)

The ozempic olympics — our real thoughts on the skinny-girl energy at Coachella and everywhere else rn

Things we won't shut up about:

Claude AI — Jill is officially a claude girly for her business systems

K18 dry shampoo — THE holy grail for volume + skipping wash days

Saying no — protecting your energy is a whole vibe

Lifting weights — Jenna's whole thing lately, the confidence shift is real

Eating Less protein -- should we talk more about this?

Mentioned in the ep:

Emma Grede's audiobook

Dermot Kennedy's new album

Tubing mascara — genuinely life-changing for easy removal

Come hang with us!! If you have ideas for new segments or just want to say hi, we're on socials. We love our girls — you guys literally kept us going through every moment we thought about quitting 🍒

The PCOS Advice I’d Give My Younger Self with Mila Magnani Apr 08, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, we sit down with Mila Magnani for a raw and eye-opening conversation about what it really looks like to struggle with undiagnosed hormone issues—and the long road to finally getting answers. After seeing over 20 doctors and repeatedly being told “everything looks normal,” today’s guest shares how she nearly gave up on finding a diagnosis… until she decided to take her health into her own hands.

We dive into her journey with PCOS—from the symptoms she didn’t realize were connected, to the frustration of being dismissed, to the moment everything finally clicked.

This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever felt like something is off in your body but can’t seem to get clear answers.
