Your gut isn’t just about digestion — it’s one of the most powerful, misunderstood control centers of your entire body. In this episode of The Forever Young Show, we sit down with microbiome expert and VP of Product Development, Lisa Barnes, to unpack the science of gut health in a way every woman can understand.

We talk about:

Why 70% of your immune system, hormones, mood, metabolism, skin, and longevity are connected to your gut
How your microbiome changes in your 30s, 40s, and 50s (perimenopause, stress, kids, aging — all of it)
The difference between prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics
Why “just drink greens” or “do a detox” isn’t enough to fix your gut
How to support your body’s own peptides and healing pathways naturally — not just supplement symptoms
The truth about kombucha, greens powders, trendy ingredients like Akkermansia, and why your body is still the real hero
This is not a fad diet or supplement hype episode. This is real, science-backed, woman-focused education — told like you’re talking with your best friend on a walk.



Freedom of mind. Freedom of body. Freedom of money and time.
It all starts with a healthy gut.

On this episode of The Forever Young Show, we sit down with Ann Bennett, a holistic health advocate and regenerative homesteader who traded the mainstream health narrative for a life rooted in nature, nourishment, and true freedom.

Ann shares how nutrient-dense food, low-toxin living, and simple lifestyle shifts can help women take back control of their energy, their health, and their futures. From raising her family on a regenerative pecan farm in Oklahoma to building a digital community of wellness-seekers, Ann proves that vitality is not found in fads or quick fixes. It is built daily through aligned choices, connection with real food, and trusting your body’s innate wisdom.

This conversation is for the woman who wants more. More energy. More confidence. More self-reliance. More freedom in her health, her time, and her life. Ann offers practical steps to break free from the overwhelm, reconnect with what matters, and feel vibrant again from the inside out.

Freedom of mind. Freedom of body. Freedom of purpose. That is what we are creating here. Tune in and take your next step toward feeling forever young.
