  Hashimoto’s, Gut Health & Healing: Divya Gupta’s Functional Nutrition Journey

  Aug 14, 202658 min

  What happens when the health challenges you’ve been pushing through become the catalyst for an entirely new life and career? In this episode, I sit down with functional nutrition practitioner Divya Gupta to talk about her journey from computer science engineering and a successful corporate career to helping women better understand their gut, thyroid, and overall health. Divya shares how losing her gallbladder at just 20 years old and later being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s led her to start asking deeper questions about her symptoms, nutrition, stress, and family health history. What began as a personal search for answers eventually became a passion for functional nutrition and a complete career reinvention. We also talk about the often-overlooked role of the gallbladder and bile, the connection between gut, liver, and thyroid health, and why Divya believes the basics — food, hydration, movement, sunlight, digestion, and stress support — matter more than complicated wellness routines. This episode is a reminder to get curious about what your body is telling you and to become a more informed advocate for your own health. In this episode, we explore: Divya’s transition from corporate America into functional nutrition How her gallbladder removal and Hashimoto’s diagnosis changed her health journey Why gut, liver, thyroid, and gallbladder health are deeply connected The role bile plays in digestion and nutrient absorption Why foundational health habits matter more than complicated wellness trends How nutrition became Divya’s first step toward feeling better Why comprehensive thyroid testing can provide a fuller picture How a difficult corporate experience pushed Divya into entrepreneurship What it means to become the “CEO of your body” About Divya: Divya Gupta is the Founder & CEO of Divyaa Nutrition + Wellness LLC, where she helps clients uncover the root causes of chronic health concerns through a functional nutrition approach. After spending more than 16 years in the corporate world, Divya made a bold career pivot, turning her personal health journey into a mission to help others reclaim their wellness. Having navigated her own diagnoses of Hashimoto's thyroiditis and gallbladder removal, Divya understands firsthand the frustration of searching for answers beyond symptom management. Her experience inspired her to build a practice focused on personalized nutrition, sustainable lifestyle changes, and empowering clients to take control of their health.

  The Autoimmune Wake-Up Call That Changed Her Career with Jeanette De Caro

  Aug 7, 202652 min

  There comes a point when doing everything you thought was “healthy” still leaves you exhausted, inflamed, and searching for answers. In this episode, I sit down with Jeanette De Caro, functional health and nutrition practitioner and founder of Elation Health and Wellness, for an eye-opening conversation about autoimmune disease, chronic stress, functional testing, and the root causes that often go overlooked. Jeanette shares how a growing list of health challenges, including hypothyroidism, insulin resistance, perimenopause, and rheumatoid arthritis, led her to explore functional medicine and uncover deeper factors contributing to her symptoms. What began as a personal search for healing eventually inspired her to leave a 33-year corporate career and help other women better understand their bodies. We talk about the connection between stress, hormones, nervous system dysregulation, environmental toxins, mold, and autoimmune symptoms, as well as why supplements alone cannot outweigh a poor diet, lack of rest, or a constantly overwhelmed nervous system. Jeanette also opens up about caring for her aging mother, the guilt that came with asking for help, and how finding the right care allowed her to move from full-time caregiver back into simply being her daughter. This episode is a reminder that your symptoms are not random, and your body may be asking you to look deeper. In this episode, we explore: Jeanette’s journey from chronic symptoms to a rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis Why autoimmune disease rarely has just one root cause The role of stress, hormones, mold, toxins, and nervous system health Why you cannot out-supplement a hectic lifestyle How functional testing can reveal what standard labs may miss Why midlife can become a tipping point for women’s health Jeanette’s transition from corporate life into functional wellness The emotional and physical toll of caring for an aging parent How asking for help helped restore Jeanette’s relationship with her mother About Jeanette: Jeanette De Caro is a Functional Health and Nutrition Practitioner and the founder of Alatian Health and Wellness. She is Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition, a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, and has advanced training in functional lab testing as a Master Practitioner through the Institute of Restorative Health. Jeanette helps clients uncover the root causes of their health challenges using personalized lab testing, nutrition, targeted therapeutic supplements, and lifestyle strategies.
