June 14, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 44 MB

After a hiatus, I'm back on the podcast detailing my 3-years-long health battle. It's been a journey that has included my second endometriosis surgery for stage 4 endo, a SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) diagnosis, and what now looks like mold toxicity. Between weight gain, hair loss, insomnia, and brain fog to name a few, it's been an ordeal.

As someone who has been creating content on the Internet since 2012, I've noticed some trends over the years. In my opinion, October has emerged as peak season for "influencers". Now, the word influencer encompasses so many different groups of people who create content on social media and the internet. These tips are mainly geared toward those who want to achieve the highest levels of "basic". Think pumpkin patches, pumpkin spice lattes, large brimmed hats, and leaves. Lots of leaves. I want...
