EPISODE 166 | Juicing for Gut Health, Weight Loss, and Energy with Ashley Garth

A health wake-up call can force us to look at more than what we eat. It can reveal the family patterns, social rituals, daily habits, and deeply held beliefs that have quietly shaped how we care for ourselves.For Ashley Garth, that moment came when her doctor recommended medication for high blood pressure before she turned 40. Rather than accepting that path as inevitable, she began experimenting with juicing, fasting, and a plant-based diet. Over time, she lost 50 pounds, noticed changes in her energy and menstrual symptoms, and built Glow Up Juice Co. around the practices that had become part of her everyday life.In this conversation with Brandi Fleck, Ashley shares the personal and social realities of changing your diet, what she believes makes fresh cold-pressed juice different, how she approaches juice cleanses and health monitoring, and why sustainable wellness requires more than a temporary fix.
