Join me and my guest, Dr. Brandy Cummings, to learn more about how resilience plays a key role in healing—physically and emotionally. From her unexpected journey as a blackjack dealer to becoming a nutrition expert, Dr. Brandy shares how life’s challenges, including exposure to black mold, tested her own resilience. We also dive into the essential components of building resilience and why now is the best time to strengthen it. Plus, you’ll get a sneak peek into her upcoming Resilient Motherhood Summit! In this episode you’ll learn: ⏰ 02:52 - About Dr. Brandy’s journey from blackjack dealer to nutrition ⏰ 04:47 - How exposure to black mold lowered Brady’s resilience ⏰ 10:03 - Why it’s so important to build more resilience now ⏰ 10:35 - The components of being RESILIENT ⏰ 17:01 - About the Resilient Motherhood Summit ⏰ 22:26 - The ONE thing you can do to activate self-healing Check out. Brandy Cummings’s Bio: Dr. Brandy Cummings, DCN, is not your typical nutritionist—she’s a former blackjack dealer who routinely chooses steak over quinoa, roasted veggies over kale chips, and, most importantly, she understands. Her passion for root cause-focused nutrition stems from her own struggles with illness, infertility, and feeling forgotten by conventional medicine. After overcoming severe mold exposure that triggered the loss of her first pregnancy as well as countless other debilitating symptoms, Dr. B explored every corner of improving cellular health; she researched overlooked causes of chronic illness, such as mold, parasites, reactivated viral infections, and a dysregulated nervous system and was alarmed at the lack of continuous care offered by the conventional model. Dr. Cummings holds an impressive list of qualifications, with her Doctorate of Clinical Nutrition from the University of Western States in Portland, OR. She lives in Idaho with her husband and two young daughters and is a proud homeschooler, foodie, and Lego enthusiast.
