In this Sister Solo, Jenna walks through the 5 pillars that finally healed her after years of chronic gut issues, inflammation, bloating, hormonal acne, and feeling like sh*t no matter what she tried.

If you've been doing all the "right" wellness things — eating clean, drinking water, taking supplements — and you still feel exhausted, bloated, or stuck in your body, this episode is for you.

Jenna and Jill get real about Jenna's 2019-2023 era — the symptoms she normalized, the all-or-nothing trap that made her sicker, and the moment she realized the answer wasn't more restriction. It was less.

We walk through the exact 5-pillar framework that changed everything — including the pillar nobody in wellness wants to talk about.

In this episode:

• Jenna's "before" era: the symptoms she normalized that weren't normal
• The all-or-nothing wellness trap and how it made her sicker
• Pillar 1: Drainage — the foundation nobody talks about
• Pillar 2: Gut health — and why probiotics aren't the answer
• Pillar 3: Metabolic health — and why undereating is making women sicker
• Pillar 4: Strength training — the day everything changed
• Pillar 5: Curating a slower, intentional, balanced life — the pillar nobody talks about
• The toxic friend audit
• What every woman feeling stuck in her body needs to hear

This week we're joined by wellness educator and creator Grace Terrell (@_gracefulwellness) for a conversation about gut health, inflammation, hormones, supplements, and why so many women are doing all the "healthy" things but still don't feel their best.

Grace shares the health journey that led her into holistic wellness, the symptoms women have normalized that shouldn't be considered normal, and the powerful connection between gut health, hormones, skin, mood, energy, and the nervous system.We also dive into inflammation, the habits that supported Grace's 20-pound weight loss, the supplements she actually takes, how to spot supplement industry red flags, and the wellness myths she wishes would disappear.

Plus, we're answering your questions on hormone balance, gluten and dairy, cycle syncing, coffee on an empty stomach, and the best things you can do to support your gut every day.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why healthy women can still feel tired, bloated, and inflamed
• Symptoms that shouldn't be ignored
• The gut-hormone-skin connection
• Stress, the nervous system, and healing
• Grace's approach to reducing inflammation
• Her 20-pound weight loss journey
