Brigid Titgemeier, MS - The Diet Myth: Why “Healthy Eating” Is Making Women Sicker

Brigid Titgemeier, MS - The Diet Myth: Why “Healthy Eating” Is Making Women Sicker

Brigid Titgemeier, a functional medicine dietitian and founder of Being Brigid Nutrition, has seen countless women walk into her clinic exhausted, bloated, and frustrated despite eating all the right foods. She knows that feeling firsthand, too. Instead of blaming willpower or cutting out everything you love, Brigid discovered how simple, personalized nutrition changes could completely shift energy, hormones, and mood.

In this episode, she shares why common advice like “just eat clean” or “go low-carb” often backfires, and what really moves the needle when it comes to gut health, hormone balance, and long-term vitality. We also talked about the hype around weight-loss drugs, overlooked biomarkers that reveal hidden stress in the body, and why your microbiome might hold the biggest key to feeling better.

If you’ve ever wondered why eating healthy doesn’t always feel healthy, this conversation will give you the clarity and hope you’ve been missing.
