In this insightful episode of Let’s Talk Sh*t, host Lisa Garrett dives into the often-overlooked link between nervous system regulation and gut health.

She shares:
How to balance a high-achiever lifestyle with calming routines that truly restore your body
Practical ideas like scaling back intense workouts, trying cold showers, adding more complex carbs, and swapping gym time for playful outdoor activities
The power of foods like bone broth, ginger, and organic veggies to nourish your gut and support your nervous system
And a playful reminder that fun isn’t frivolous - it’s foundational for wellness.
