253: How to Spot BS Health Information Online

You're scrolling and suddenly you see a headline on The New York Times saying: "Protein Is Overrated." "Cold Plunges Don't Work." "Supplements Are a Waste of Money." And now you're spiraling. In this episode, I teach you how to spot oversimplified, click-driven health information - even when it comes from major media outlets. Because let's face it: most of it is total BS. In this episode, I'm diving into: How headlines are written for engagement Why single studies get blown out of proportion Correlation vs. causation, and why that matters A simple 5-question filter you can use anytime you read a health article ... and more! --- Show Notes: Sign up for a 1:1 Discovery Call Join the Imperfectly Paige Wellness Community Join the Compass Method DIY Program Jump inside my Rock the Bloat Minicourse Get my Core-Gi Workout Program with the exclusive listener discount!

252: C-Section vs. Vaginal Birth // Why Neither Is a "Failure"

Somewhere along the way, vaginal birth got labeled "natural" and C-sections got labeled "failure," and women have been quietly carrying the weight of that narrative ever since. Myself included, since Jasper ended up being a C-section baby - something I had never even considered would be possible. In this episode, I cover: What actually happens hormonally and physically during a vaginal birth Why a C-section isn't the "easy way out" Why pelvic floor therapy is recommended for any type of birth How to support your baby's microbiome no matter their birth method ... and more! --- Show Notes: 191: Jasper's Birth Story Sign up for a 1:1 Discovery Call Join the Imperfectly Paige Wellness Community Join the Compass Method DIY Program Jump inside my Rock the Bloat Minicourse Get my Core-Gi Workout Program with the exclusive listener discount!

251: Gallbladder, Gallstones, & Bile Issues // A Functional Approach

Gallbladder and bile issues are some of the most common digestive problems in the western world - and with good reason. But you have more control over preventing these problems than you might think -- meaning you don't have to wait for the pain to be so intense that you get your gallbladder removed. (And even then, it might not solve your issues). In today's rebooted show, I'm telling you all about: - what bile's role is in the body - the signs to look for BEFORE gallstones form - why bile is key to more than just fat digestion & absorption - how to improve bile synthesis and flow without medications ... and more!
