In this episode, Ashley sits down with functional nutritionist Hannah Aylward to uncover the overlooked layers of gut healing that go far beyond food. Hannah opens up about her years of bloating, food restriction, and frustration despite following all the “right” dietary rules—and the surprising root causes that finally shifted her health.
From mold exposure and heavy metal toxicity to mineral imbalances and the role of the nervous system, Hannah brings a grounded, evidence-based perspective to why so many people stay stuck, even on a perfect diet. She shares what worked, what didn’t, and how she helps clients heal without endless restriction or fear of food.
Whether you’re dealing with reflux, rashes, IBS, or lingering inflammation, this conversation offers both fresh insight and practical tools to address the deeper factors affecting your digestion—while giving you hope that your body isn’t broken, it’s protecting you.
