Part 2 is here, and we are picking up right where we left off with Geta Barbu. We start with the CDC seminar cliffhanger, and what she shares might make you look at your supplement cupboard a little differently.

Then we get into the real life stuff. Mast cell issues and histamine, perimenopause and hormones, and why wellness is almost never black and white. We also talk the protein craze, diet culture, and what happens when you start chasing numbers instead of listening to your body.

Geta breaks down her simple nutrient dense plate framework, protein, carb, fruit or vegetable, fat, and pizzazz, plus her best advice of the whole conversation. Be in tune with your body, but do not become hyperfixated on it. If you are tired of fear based marketing and cookie cutter health advice, this one will feel like a deep exhale.

Supplements are not the cure all. Pharmaceuticals are not the cure all. If you are tired of being told to just take this, buy that, or follow one perfect wellness plan, this conversation will feel like a breath of fresh air.

Kali and Jen sit down with Geta Barbu, a gut brain and functional nutrition practitioner, to talk about the messy middle of wellness. We get real about supplement culture, pharmaceutical fearmongering, and social media misinformation, plus why research headlines rarely tell the full story. This episode ends on a cliffhanger with what Geta learned in a CDC seminar about supplements, and you are going to want to hear it.

Come back for Part 2 where we get into mast cell issues, hormones and perimenopause, liver function, and Geta’s nutrient dense plate framework.

This is a more tender, serious conversation than usual. Kali and Jen talk about the grief that can come with change, not just losing someone, but losing the version of yourself you used to be.

Kali shares what it has been like living with mast cell activation syndrome, including the brief relief of a new medication and the emotional crash when that hope did not last. Jen opens up about nearing 50, the empty nest shift, and the question so many of us hit in midlife: what now?

They unpack how illness, motherhood, divorce, career changes, and hormones can reshape identity, and why what we often need most is not advice, but someone to listen and make space.

If you are in a season that feels unsteady, or you love someone who is, this episode offers language, comfort, and a reminder that you are not broken.
