In this powerful and eye-opening episode, we sit down with functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner Katie Barnflower to explore the hidden forces that quietly shape how we feel every single day.
From gut imbalances and hormone shifts to subtle stressors and disrupted sleep rhythms, Katie reveals how the “silent saboteurs” in our lives often go unnoticed until they spill over, leaving us exhausted, overwhelmed, and searching for answers.
Katie shares her unique journey from math teacher to health detective, blending data, intuition, and compassion to help people uncover the real reasons behind their symptoms.
Together, we dive into the surprising role of functional testing, the truth about sugar cravings, the myth of the “night owl,” the power of prevention, and the deep connection between our gut, mood, and energy.
This conversation is a reminder that your body is always speaking - and when you learn how to listen, everything changes.
