Sometimes, feeling âoffâ isnât just about stress or agingâit could be your gut trying to tell you something.

Olivia also talks about âgray area drinkingââthat space between social drinking and full-blown dependencyâand how to know if alcohol is taking more from you than itâs giving. Plus, she shares simple, doable ways to cut back or quit without feeling like youâre missing out. If youâve ever wondered whether alcohol is really worth it, this episode will make you think twiceâin the best way possible.

Whatâs really behind your fatigue and brain fog? Ever feel like your bodyâs sending you an SOS, but youâre not sure what itâs trying to say? I sit down with Dr. Will Cole, a leading Functional Medicine Expert, to chat about two health issues that often fly under the radar: histamine intolerance and burnout. We talk about how these sneaky culprits can mess with your energy, focus, and even your digestionâespecially during midlife or perimenopause. If youâve been feeling âoffâ and canât quite put your finger on why, this is a conversation you donât want to miss.
Dr. Will doesnât just share the scienceâhe gives some seriously practical tips to help you feel better. We get into why gut health is such a big deal for managing histamine levels and what to do if youâre feeling stuck in a cycle of exhaustion. Burnout is also part of our conversation, and youâll be surprised at how itâs not always tied to lazinessâbut itâs your bodyâs way of waving a red flag. Dr. Will shares simple, doable strategies like breathwork and mindfulness to help you reset and feel like yourself again.
And by the way, if youâre struggling with low energy, low libido, hormone imbalances, or menopausal symptoms, youâve got to try my Mighty Maca Plus! My clients have called it a âgodsendâ. Head over to dranna.com/drinkmaca to give it a tryâand experience the difference!

Today, weâre diving into the real, unfiltered stories and tools that can make this transition not just manageable but empowering.

From vitamin C and artemisinin, she shares her journey of healing and how she created a body environment that was less welcoming to cancer. Itâs a beautiful conversation about trusting your gut, honoring your bodyâs needs, and exploring every option with an open mind.
Dr. Filomenaâs journey reveals the importance of listening to your intuition and building a strong support network to uplift you every step of the way. Sheâs faced conventional treatments too, balancing them with holistic practices that kept her grounded and connected to her health goals. Her story is a powerful reminder that healing is deeply personal and that thereâs no one ârightâ way to find wellness. If you or a loved one are navigating health challenges, this episode will leave you feeling empowered and ready to think differently about whatâs possible.

Memorable Quotes:
"I don't think people realize that plants were medicine before pharmaceutical drugs. And essential oils are really just the concentrated essence of plants." [00:15:00] â Jodi Cohen
"50% of most pharmaceutical drugs are derived from plants. And so, we've been using them as medicine, valerian root has become valium, white willow bark has become aspirin. We can use these in a way that help to regulate our system, return us to balance. It's very kind of in harmony with the planet. And the more we're in harmony with the planet, the more our body can actually heal itself and get into balance." [00:16:21] â Jodi Cohen
