When bloating takes over your life, it’s more than just uncomfortable-it impacts your confidence, relationships, and spontaneity. In this episode, Briana, Bachelor-qualified Naturopath and gut health practitioner, gets real about what bloating actually means, why you’re not broken, and how to begin healing without fear, restriction, or quick fixes. You’ll learn the most common misconceptions around bloating, the root causes to investigate, and why nervous system regulation is just as important as nutrition for long-term relief.

Did you know women were only mandated to be included in clinical research trials from 1993 onwards? Or that nearly 80% of all autoimmune conditions affect women - yet so much of our medical system still overlooks how female bodies actually work?
In this powerful episode of the Brain Series by By Blu Naturopathy, Briana breaks down the gender gap in medical research, why your ‘random’ symptoms are never random, and how to start advocating for yourself in a system that wasn’t designed with women’s health in mind.
In this episode we’ll unpack:
Why most health research is still based on male biology - and what that means for you.
How the system’s gaps can lead to your symptoms being minimised, misdiagnosed or ignored.
How to reframe your symptoms as clues that piece together the bigger picture.
Why you should never feel guilty for asking more questions, seeking a second opinion or pushing for answers.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in your healing journey or discouraged by slow progress- especially with digestive issues, breakouts, or hormonal symptoms-this is your reminder that you're not alone, and you're not doing it wrong.

In today’s episode of With Blu, we’re talking about something every woman on a gut or skin health journey needs to hear: there’s no magic pill for healing - and that’s actually a good thing.
With health trends, TikTok wellness hacks, and “quick fix” products dominating our feeds, it’s easy to feel disappointed when results don’t happen overnight. But real, lasting change- especially when it comes to gut health, skin clarity, and hormonal balance- takes time, consistency, and a root-cause approach.
In this episode, we cover:
Why quick-fix health trends are tempting but rarely effective
The liberating truth behind sustainable, slow healing
How to stay motivated when results aren’t immediate
A real-life client story about shifting from short-term expectations to long-term results
Mindset strategies to keep showing up for your health without burning out
If you’ve ever felt stuck in your healing journey or discouraged by slow progress- especially with digestive issues, breakouts, or hormonal symptoms-this is your reminder that you're not alone, and you're not doing it wrong.

How these symptoms can impact your broader health - including pelvic pain and potential implications for pregnancy

The role of hormones, stress, and your microbiome in vaginal health
Why over-the-counter treatments may not be the long-term solution if they’re not addressing the cause - and when to seek professional help
