EP42: Your First Brain Isn’t in Your Head | The Gut–Life Connection

What if your first brain isn’t in your head?  In this episode, founder, mother, and coach Hadil shares how a high-velocity corporate life, postpartum depletion, and an “undiagnosed” health spiral pushed her to rebuild her habits around ancestral nutrition and gut health. We talk microbiome 101, the gut–brain axis, why minerals matter more than most blood tests show, and the real difference between stock and long-simmered bone broth.  We explore saying no as a growth strategy, the tension between integrity and scale, and why doing less—on purpose—can still mean doing something great. If you’ve felt unheard in conventional care, or you’re craving a more intuitive, agency-driven approach to wellness, this conversation is a reset: slow down, listen to the whispers before they become screams, and remember that food is your first form of self-care. We hope you will find something to consider.  Connect with the Guest:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healwithhadil/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hadil-alkhatib-27a91431/Website: www.roost.ae Find us at (Instagram podcast page) https://www.instagram.com/somethingtoconsider.podcast/ Listen to us (all available platforms) Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/something-to-consider/id1674861838Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/618zDVAJO0teMngLOzyKz4?si=8bfddd1364d34fc7 Connect with the Host:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dalhanbali/LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/danaalhanbaliX: https://x.com/DanaAlhanbaliTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@danaalhanbaliYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@danaalhanbali5621/about
