Dr. Mary sits down with functional medicine health coach Danna Levy Hoffman to unpack gut health, food freedom, and why dieting keeps failing women over 40.

From bloating and migraines to emotional eating and weight struggles, they explore how so many symptoms start in the gut — and why the real path forward isn’t restriction, but better sleep, more protein, and learning to trust your body again.
