In this episode, we sit down with Tori, a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner specializing in women’s metabolic health, to talk about what it really means to support your body on a foundational level.
Instead of quick fixes or trending protocols, Tori walks us through her holistic, science-backed approach to healing—one that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of symptoms rather than just managing them.
We dive into what a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner actually does, how personalized support can transform your health, and why metabolic health plays such a key role in how you feel day-to-day.
Whether you’re dealing with fatigue, hormone imbalances, digestive issues, or just feel like something is “off,” this episode offers a refreshing perspective on how to work with your body—not against it.
In this episode, we cover:
– What a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner does (and how it’s different)
– The importance of bio-individual, root-cause healing
– How metabolic health impacts energy, hormones, and overall wellness
– Why foundational habits matter more than trends

What if your breakfast could support your hormones, your cholesterol, and your gut health — without feeling like “health food”?

In this episode, we sit down with Gita Chakrabarti, founder of gutBFF Granola, a Bentonville-based brand making plant-diverse, crispy, and seriously delicious granola designed to support real gut health.

After a career spanning retail, consulting, and manufacturing, Gita felt called to pursue her true passion: creating food that improves health. Through navigating her own journey with PCOS, fertility, and cholesterol — without pharmaceuticals — she experienced firsthand how powerful dietary change can be. That journey led to the creation of gutBFF, a granola that delivers 20 different plants (including Lion’s Mane!) in every serving.

We talk about:

• Using food as a foundation for healing

• The importance of plant diversity for gut health

• Entrepreneurship and building a local brand

• What it really takes to pivot toward purpose

Gita lives in Bentonville with her husband and 12-year-old daughter and loves yoga and travel. Originally from South Carolina, she’s lived all over the world — bringing global perspective into every batch she makes.
