In this episode, Ashleigh sits down with Halie Schoff, functional wellness and nutrition expert and coach who specializes in gut and hormonal health, to talk about how to best support digestive health during different phases of life. They also discuss certain controversial health practices (coffee enema, anyone?) and whether or not someone who practices a healthy lifestyle really "needs" additional detoxifying.

They discuss:

• Keys to optimizing gut health
• What are parasite cleanses and do we need them?
• How to prep for and optimize gut health around travel, and how to minimize any damage done
• Do we really "need" regular detoxing? Isn't our body supposed to do that for us naturally?
• Ashleigh asks skeptical questions about some health practices like castor oil packs, coffee enemas, and more. 

And a lot more! If you have any feedback, questions, or other topics ideas send them to musclescience4women@gmail.com.
