Untamed & Unfiltered Wellness
When stress, sleep, focus or energy start shifting and the strategies you used to rely on stop working, this podcast helps you understand why and shows you what to do next without spinning your wheels.
Untamed and Unfiltered Wellness is a grounded, no-nonsense podcast for people who want to live well in the real world, busy schedules, demanding jobs, aging bodies and all.
This is practical, integrative wellness for real life, not trends, not hacks and not one-size-fits-all advice.
You’ll walk away with clear insights, usable tools and realistic shifts you can apply immediately so your body and mind feel steadier, more supported and easier to live in.
Hosted by Jo Swensson, Herbalist and Founder of Olivia Bell.

Are You “Hangry?”
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ever been hangry?
You’re snapping at everyone, irritated for no clear reason… and then you realize you haven’t eaten all day. Nothing changed except one thing: you were hungry.
Stress works the same way.
In this episode, we talk about why most people only notice stress at the breaking point and how to catch it earlier. I break down the concept of interoception (your ability to sense internal signals), why stress always shows up physically, and how a simple 60-second body scan can help you recognize your personal stress pattern before it spirals.
We’ll also talk about early intervention, nervous system awareness and how herbs like passionflower can support regulation without numbing you out.
If you’ve ever said, “I didn’t realize I was that stressed,” this episode will change how you listen to your body.
