74. Elissa Goodman: This is Why You Can’t Biohack Your Way Out of Burnout

You’re bloated. Tired. Anxious. Maybe even burnt out. You’ve tried the diets, the supplements, the meditation apps… But you’re still not healing. Why?

In this episode of Extend, I’m joined by Elissa Goodman, a holistic health expert and cancer survivor, to explore the deep connection between gut health, inflammation, and overall well-being.

We dive deep into the science behind food resets, the importance of eliminating inflammatory foods, and the role of personalized blood work in identifying hidden health imbalances. And also discuss practical strategies for improving digestion, boosting energy, and supporting long-term health through a balanced diet and stress management.

By the end of this episode, you'll walk away with actionable insights to help your body reset, reduce inflammation, and improve both your mental and physical health, starting with your gut.

Elissa Goodman is a holistic nutritionist specializing in gut health, personalized food resets, and functional nutrition. After overcoming cancer, she combines conventional and alternative therapies to restore health and reduce inflammation.
