S14 EP8: How to Feel Better with Kristen Blake

<p>What if the symptoms you’ve been trying to eliminate are actually your body’s way of asking for something deeper?</p><p>We’re revisiting one of our most important conversations with Kristen Blake, founder of KB Wellness, to explore what integrative wellness really looks like. Instead of treating energy, digestion, hormones, food sensitivities, and weight as separate problems, Kristen helps us understand how they are connected, and why chasing each symptom with another diet, supplement, or quick fix can make things worse.</p><p>In this episode, we discuss caffeine, mineral balance, magnesium, gut health, food sensitivities, restrictive diets, gluten, oversupplementation, and the wellness trends that deserve a second look.</p><p>This isn’t about following more wellness rules. It’s about learning to understand your body as a whole.</p><p><br>(00:00:56) Meet integrative nutrition expert Kristen Blake</p><p>(00:05:48) When symptoms are signals from the body</p><p>(00:10:05) Caffeine, quick fixes, and masking the real problem</p><p>(00:14:22) Magnesium and the truth about mineral balance</p><p>(00:21:52) Supplement forms, quality, dosage, and over-supplementing</p><p>(00:31:05) Food sensitivities, gut health, and inflammation</p><p>(00:37:36) Restriction, elimination diets, and removing gluten</p><p>(00:49:10) Wellness myths and popular trends to question</p><p>(00:55:23) Why true health cannot be measured on a scale</p><p>(00:58:00) Where to find Kristen Blake</p><p><br><strong>Kristen’s Links:</strong></p><p><a href="http://kristenblakewellness.com"><u>Website</u></a> <strong> </strong></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/kristenblakewellness/"><u>IG</u></a>  </p><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/@KristenBlakeWellness"><u>Youtube</u></a>  </p><p><br>Want to leave the TTSL Podcast a voicemail?
