278: The Only Nutrition Advice You'll Ever Need: Gut Health, Protein Myths, & Nourishment Pillars with Sakara’s Danielle DuBoise
In today's episode, Josie is joined by Danielle DuBoise, co-founder of Sakara, one of the most influential wellness brands, to break down what it actually means to nourish your body—and why so much of what we’ve been taught about “healthy eating” is missing the point. After hitting a major health rock bottom in her early twenties after years of restrictive dieting, Danielle studied nutrition and the science of the gut microbiome, completely transforming the way she thought about food. Today she shares why nourishment is different from nutrition, how the foods we eat impact everything from digestion and hormones to energy levels, and practical wellness advice you can start implementing right away—from how to build a nourishing plate to how to reconnect with your body’s intuition around food. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice or wondered what “eating healthy” actually looks like in real life, this episode will completely change the way you think about food.

How gut health impacts your energy, mood, and overall health
Why dieting disconnects us from our bodies
