GLP-1 medications like semaglutide, tirzepatide, and emerging GLP-3 drugs are changing weight loss and metabolic health — but what happens when side effects start showing up? In this episode, Liz & Becca break down the real causes behind common GLP-1 side effects including digestive issues, diarrhea, constipation, sleep disruption, blood sugar crashes, body odor changes, microbiome shifts, bile flow dysfunction, and detox overload. You’ll learn why GLP-1 medications slow gastric emptying, how they impact bile flow and estrogen clearance, why some people experience microbiome imbalance or SIBO-like symptoms, and how foundational health (liver, gut, electrolytes, protein intake, muscle mass) determines whether GLP-1 works for you or against you. If you’re using GLP-1s, considering them, or struggling with side effects — this episode gives you a functional medicine roadmap for safer, smarter use. *** CONNECT: 🏆 Work With Us: Revive & Thrive Program 🔗 Connect With Liz: Instagram | TikTok | YouTube 🔗 Connect With Becca: Instagram | TikTok | YouTube 🇺🇸 Private Community: FitMom Society ▶️ Have Questions?

Chronic fatigue. Nervous system dysregulation. Normal labs… but you still feel terrible. In this episode, we interview CFS Recovery founder Miguel Bautista, who went from bedridden and hospitalized with 50+ symptoms to full recovery using neuroplasticity and nervous system retraining. We break down why many chronic illness protocols fail, how symptom “whack-a-mole” keeps people stuck, and the critical difference between symptom suppression and true resilience recovery. You’ll learn about the stress threshold model, the magnifying glass effect of fear and symptom tracking, and why many high-achieving personalities are more vulnerable to nervous system collapse after prolonged stress or illness. If you’re dealing with chronic fatigue syndrome, long COVID, burnout, or mystery symptoms with normal labs — this episode will change how you see healing.

Most detox advice online is wrong — and can actually make you feel worse. In this episode, we break down how true liver detoxification really works through Phase 1 activation, Phase 2 processing, and Phase 3 elimination. You’ll learn why detox symptoms happen, why constipation blocks detox pathways, and how issues like histamine intolerance, estrogen dominance, migraines, and chemical sensitivity connect to specific detox routes like methylation, sulfation, and glucuronidation. We also explain why throwing NAC, B vitamins, and “detox supplements” at your body without proper elimination support can backfire — and what to support first instead. *** CONNECT: 🏆 Work With Us: Revive & Thrive Program 🔗 Connect With Liz: Instagram | TikTok | YouTube 🔗 Connect With Becca: Instagram | TikTok | YouTube 🇺🇸 Private Community: FitMom Society ▶️ Have Questions?

Dopamine isn’t just about pleasure—it’s the master regulator of motivation, pain, digestion, immune function, and healing capacity. In this episode of The Health Revival Show, we break down how dopamine dysfunction shows up as burnout, chronic pain, IBS, constipation, low motivation, anxiety, and stalled healing. We explore the difference between low dopamine tone vs dopamine resistance, how chronic stress and modern life blunt reward signaling, and why gut protocols often fail when the nervous system isn’t addressed. You’ll learn how dopamine impacts the immune system, gut motility, inflammation, and recovery—and what actually helps restore balance, from circadian rhythm and protein intake to dopamine detox strategies and targeted support. If you’ve tried “everything” and still feel stuck, flat, or exhausted, this episode connects the dots you’ve been missing.

If you struggle with Raynaud’s syndrome, cold hands and feet, white or blue fingers, or painful winter flares, this episode is for you. Raynaud’s is often dismissed as a simple circulation issue — “just wear gloves” — but that advice completely ignores what’s really driving it. In this episode, we break down why Raynaud’s is a vascular regulation problem, not a skin issue, and how deeper root causes like gut infections (H. pylori), chronic inflammation, nitric oxide deficiency, iron issues, thyroid dysfunction, and nervous system stress all play a role. We explain the difference between primary vs. secondary Raynaud’s, why autoimmune conditions often overlap, and how gut health directly impacts blood vessel function. You’ll also learn practical functional strategies to support circulation, reduce flares, and address the real drivers behind Raynaud’s — not just mask symptoms.
