The Wellness Digest

Hannah & Lena Kleinfeld

The Wellness Digest is a weekly reset for anyone trying to feel well without turning wellness into a full-time job.

Hosted by sisters Hannah and Lena Kleinfeld, the founders behind Omni-Biotic U.S., the show draws on their unique perspective working alongside microbiome scientists, clinicians, and thousands of people navigating symptoms that are often misunderstood, dismissed, or left unexplained.

Each week, they explore the patterns shaping modern health, from burnout and nervous system overload to hormone shifts, skin changes, fatigue, and digestion, and what these signals may be trying to tell us.

Through expert conversations and honest discussions, Hannah and Lena share what they are learning through their work, their own health journeys, and the practitioners they trust, offering a clearer, more grounded understanding of how to support your body in real life.

The gut remains a throughline, but the mission is bigger. To help you cut through noise, return to foundations, and better understand what it takes to feel well today.

    Dr. Felice Chan: Traditional Chinese Medicine for Modern Wellness

    What if symptoms aren’t isolated problems, but clues to a bigger pattern? Dr. Felice Chan, Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncturist, joins us to explore the fundamentally different way Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) looks at the body and what this ancient framework can teach us about modern health. We unpack how TCM approaches digestion and gut health, stress, hormones, fertility, and inflammation, and why seemingly unrelated symptoms may be more connected than we realize. Dr. Chan also explains some of the patterns she looks for in her own patients and how practices like acupuncture fit into a broader approach to restoring balance. We round out the episode with simple ways to bring some of this ancient wisdom into everyday life, without needing to overhaul everything we already do.
