The BS We Feed Ourselves — Gut/Brain healing for overachievers
Kicking the BS thoughts out of our mind and food off our plate that makes us sick, one episode at a time.
A podcast for overachievers who want to heal their autoimmune issues holistically and naturally, but coming up short.
Autoimmune issues are rarely caused by a single source, often it’s a combination of factors. The BS We Feed Ourselves explores the gut-brain connection, how stress, trauma, and our broken food system are all intertwined and contributing to a global escalation of autoimmune issues.
Host Shawna Bigby Davis shares expert interviews, mini-action plans, and no-BS mind expanders to start feeding ourselves better.
A former creative agency owner, Shawna sold her business in 2018 to heal her multiple autoimmune issues (Rheumatoid Arthritis, Hashimoto’s, Celiac, and Lupus) and is on a mission to help 50 million Americans do the same.
Shawna is an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and health-tech founder of Your Daily®, an AI-based coach for daily autoimmune wellness.
