34. Fascinating Root Causes of Anxiety and How to Fix Them Naturally

Rachel sits down with bioenergetics practitioner Bekah Uhl to unpack what anxiety really is—and why so many women are missing the root causes. They explore the nervous system’s role in bloat, reflux, sleep issues, and mood swings; the mind-gut connection via the vagus nerve; and how mineral imbalances (think copper and mercury) revealed by the Hair Trace Mineral Analysis (HTMA) can quietly drive anxiety and fatigue. Bekah shares her family’s experience with mold, PANDAS, and mental health—plus how somatic practices, boundaries, and life-giving rhythms create a felt sense of safety that accelerates healing.

You’ll learn:

  • Why “normal” blood work can miss what HTMA reveals about mood + metabolism

  • How dysregulated nervous systems show up as bloating, brain fog, palpitations, and poor sleep

  • The roles of mold, histamine, parasites, blood sugar, copper/mercury, and mineral ratios

  • Simple, gentle starting points: sun, grounding, water, somatic “felt sense,” and supportive routines

  • Why individualized protocols beat one-size-fits-all supplements (and when “less is more”)

  • The power of boundaries, agency, and faith to restore internal safety

  • A teaser of Rachel & Bekah’s upcoming offering: Becoming You Again—an integrated path that blends bioenergetics, nervous-system support, nourishment, and functional labs

31. Why the Supplement Stack Isn’t Solving Your Symptoms, and What Will

Are you still bloated, exhausted, uncomfortable, and reacting to everything you eat — despite taking a cabinet full of supplements?

In this episode, Rachel pulls back the curtain on a frustrating (and all-too-common) reality: women being handed a long list of expensive supplements… and then left to figure it out on their own. She shares real conversations she’s had with women who did everything right — took the gut powders, the antimicrobials, the enzymes — yet still felt stuck in the same cycle of bloating, constipation, fatigue, brain fog, acne, stubborn weight, and food sensitivities.

You’ll learn:

  • Why supplements alone aren’t the solution (and what they actually are meant for)

  • Why treating symptoms without addressing the nervous system and root cause leaves you spinning your wheels

  • The deeper patterns most gut protocols are missing — and how Rachel’s Gut Harmony Method fills in the gaps

  • What to focus on instead if you want true, lasting relief (without obsessing over what to take next)

This one’s for the woman who’s done the protocols, spent the money, and still doesn’t feel like herself. There is a better way — and it starts with this conversation.
