EVEN MORE about this episode!

What if the beauty industry has been teaching women to ignore the very signals their bodies are trying to send?

In this episode, Julie Ryan and former international model Eva Hooft reveal the hidden links between trauma, chronic illness, gut health, and true healing.

Eva shares the shocking reality behind the modeling industry—where perfection was demanded while her health quietly deteriorated. After years of severe gut issues, exhaustion, eating disorders, and feeling disconnected from herself, she realized her body wasn’t failing her—it was desperately trying to communicate. What followed was a complete transformation that led her from the fashion world into holistic healing and somatic work.

Together, Julie and Eva dive into the fascinating connections between trauma, parasites, inflammation, ancestral patterns, and the nervous system. They explore why many detox protocols can backfire, how emotional wounds may manifest physically, and why being told to “just live with it” can deeply impact healing. Packed with powerful insights, practical wellness tools, and inspiring stories of transformation, this episode offers hope for anyone who feels unheard, stuck, or exhausted from searching for answers.
