310// Chronic Illness and Depression: How to Find Hope Again

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Have you ever found yourself wondering, “Can I ever hope again?"

Have you been doing everything you know how to do to heal - and yet the emotional weight of chronic illness still feels crushing?

Or maybe you wouldn’t even call it depression… but you feel numb, exhausted, or like hope just doesn’t come as easily as it used to.

If you said yes to any of those questions, this episode is for you.

Today’s episode closes out our series exploring the emotional weight of chronic illness. No protocols. No strategies. No fixing.

In this Discipleship Series, I’ve been sharing the things that anchored me on my journey toward wholeness — even in seasons where I felt like I was making absolutely no progress.

The goal is simple: to slow down and talk about the matters of the heart.

To sit together for a moment and ask — with who you are right now, not the future healed version of you — how do you tend your heart? How do you find hope again when chronic illness and depression feel intertwined?

This is for you if you’ve been sick for months or years.

And if you’re not sure you’d call yourself chronically ill, but you’ve been carrying something heavy for a long time, this is for you too.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into:

Chronic illness and depression
What to do when hope feels dangerous or painful
How to balance the emotion of hope without devalidating or suppressing your personal experience
Sharing my personal story of how I found hope in the middle of chronic pain, loneliness, no answers, and no reason to see a future where anything was different

If you’ve been doing everything you know how to do and you’re still not better, I hope this episode meets you exactly where you are. Not to fix you. Not to promise a breakthrough. But to strengthen something inside you that illness may have been quietly wearing down.

P.S. In this episode, I’ll be sharing from my own faith background, because that’s where many of these lessons were shaped for me. But these conversations are for anyone who’s looking for steadiness, meaning, and hope in the middle of a hard season. I hope this blesses you.

309// The Fear That Almost Kept Me Sick: Chronic Illness Anxiety and the Future

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Have you ever imagined finally being well… and instead of feeling excited, you felt anxious?

Have you quietly wondered, “If I get better… who will I be?”

Or maybe you’ve been so deep in chronic illness that it feels safer to stay where you are than to face the unknown future of being healthy again.

If you said yes to any of those questions, this episode is for you.

Today’s episode continues our series exploring the emotional weight of chronic illness. No protocols. No strategies. No fixing.

In this series on chronic illness and mental health, I’m sharing the things that anchored me on my journey toward wholeness — even in seasons where I felt like I was making zero progress.

The goal is simple: to slow down and talk about the matters of the heart.

To sit together for a moment and ask — with who you are right now, not the future healed version of you — how do you tend your heart? How do you find emotional, internal health when chronic illness anxiety is quietly shaping your future?

This is for you if you’ve been sick for months or years.

And if you’re not sure you’d call yourself chronically ill, but you’ve been carrying something heavy for a long time, this is for you too.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into:

Chronic illness anxiety and fear of the future
The difference between being impacted by illness and becoming your illness
A powerful journal prompt you can do today to reveal any hidden fears you may have about getting better

If you’ve been doing everything you know how to do and you’re still not better, I hope this episode meets you exactly where you are. Not to fix you. Not to promise a breakthrough. But to gently surface something that may be quietly influencing your healing more than you realize.

P.S. In this episode, I’ll be sharing from my own faith background, because that’s where many of these lessons were shaped for me. But these conversations are for anyone who’s looking for steadiness, clarity, and courage as they look toward a healthier future. I hope this blesses you.

307// How to Regulate Emotions in 4 Minutes or Less, with Dr. Glenn and Phyllis Hill from the Connection Codes

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Do you ever feel like your emotions inside you are so big that you don't know how you'll ever have enough time to process them?

Do you feel like you get triggered at the sign of a single symptom, or conversation, or thought - and it takes you hours or days to feel calm again?

Or maybe you’re living with chronic illness, chronic pain, or ongoing stress — and you’re wondering how can you ever regulate your emotions when your body feels constantly at war / threatened?

If you said “yes” to any of these questions, this episode is for you.

Today’s episode continues our series exploring the emotional weight of chronic illness. And it's a particularly special episode, as we're going to talk with emotions experts, author, and founders of Connection Codes, Dr. Glenn and Phyllis Hill.

Dr. Glenn and Phyllis are passionate about helping people discover that emotions aren’t a problem to fix, but a powerful, natural tool to master - so that homes can be healed, marriages strengthened, and communities transformed.

As we continue with our chronic illness and mental health series, I’m sharing the things that anchored me on my journey toward wholeness — and Dr. Glenn and Phyllis have been a part of my recent journey and something I've found so healing and empowering. So I'm sharing them with you!

In today’s episode, we’re diving into:

How to regulate your emotions in 4 minutes or less
Why processing emotions doesn't need to take hours, days, weeks, or years
Symptoms of suppressing unprocessed emotions vs. emotional regulation
What the 8 core emotions are - and why being able to name them is so powerful in emotional regulation
Processing emotions with chronic illness - including stress, grief, and emotional healing

We’ll talk about what emotional regulation really means, why “control your emotions” often backfires in the process of healing, and how you can make your emotions your friend on your journey of chronic illness and mental health.

If you’ve been doing everything you know how to do and you’re still not better, I hope this episode meets you exactly where you are. Not to fix you. Not to promise a breakthrough. But to strengthen your inner heart that illness, stress, and unprocessed emotions may have been quietly wearing down.

306// What to Do With Chronic Illness Loneliness

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Are you struggling with chronic illness or symptoms that just won't go away, and you've gotten to a point where it just feels like maybe no one understands your symptoms or what you're going through?

Do your parents, family, or friends subtly or directly implying that don't really think you have anything? That you're overly sensitive and it's go away if you just chose to stop being so sensitive?

Are you tired of explaining your symptoms or what day to day life is like to your family or friends - maybe they don't devalidate you like your family, but they have no idea how to respond other that "I'm so sorry you're going through that", and you feel even more alone than before you shared?

Or - have you sat in a doctor’s office, hoping someone would finally understand — and been met with blank stares and no answers?

If you said yes to any of those questions, this episode is for you.

Today’s episode starts our series exploring the emotional weight of chronic illness. No protocols. No strategies. No fixing.

In this series, I’m sharing the things that anchored me on my journey toward wholeness — even in seasons where I felt like (or literally was) making zero progress.

The goal is simple: to slow down and talk about the matters of the heart.

To sit together for a moment and reflect — with who you are right now, not the future healed version of you — how do you tend your heart? How do you find emotional, internal health?

Because you don't have to be physically healthy first to find emotional health.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into:

what chronic illness can feel lonely, even when you're surrounded by loving people
tips on what to do with people who are not loving or supportive on your health journey
examples of 2 people in the Bible who hit a "I can't take it any longer" moment in their life, how they responded, and what lessons we can learn from it
practical steps to take to combat chronic illness loneliness, with or without the support of your immediate friends and family

If you’ve been doing everything you know how to do to get healthy and you’re still not better, I hope this episode meets you exactly where you are. Not to fix you. But to strengthen something inside you that illness may have been quietly wearing down.

P.S. In this episode, I’ll be sharing from my own faith background, because that’s where many of these lessons were shaped for me. But these conversations are for anyone who’s looking for steadiness, hope, and emotional resilience in the middle of a hard season. I hope this blesses you!

305// Low Progesterone Causes: 5 Tests to Find Yours

Thu, 26 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Have you been told you have low progesterone — and the solution was birth control, hormone therapy, or progesterone supplements — but no one could explain why your progesterone is low in the first place?

Or maybe you’ve never had testing confirm it, but you're wondering if you may have low progesterone based on your symptoms — insomnia, anxiety, cycle issues, fertility struggles.

Or maybe you’ve tried all. the. things. for low progesterone in women — supplements, birth control, natural treatments, cycle syncing — but nothing has actually changed… and you’re left wondering what else there is to do?

If you said "yes" to any of these, this episode is for you.

Today we’re continuing the Real Root Cause Series, where I'm taking conditions that are commonly labeled as root causes — and breaking down to you what their REAL root causes are. This is super powerful because understanding a fake vs. real root cause is the difference between healing from your symptoms permanently... or not.

Today's topic: low progesterone.

In this episode, I'm breaking down:

The most common low progesterone signs and symptoms in women
Why low progesterone isn’t a root cause
Why birth control, IUDs, and even “natural” progesterone support miss the mark to healing your WHOLE body
The 6 real root causes quietly driving low progesterone
And the 5 tests you need to do find your specific root causes - and naturally bring progesterone back up

And one more thing — for this entire Real Root Cause Series, I’ve created visual guides to help you see the big picture clearly.

If you’re a visual learner or want this laid out simply, head to betterbellytherapies.com/root to download the graphic that goes with this episode.

Because when you stop trying to force progesterone up… and start removing what’s suppressing it — that’s when you start to see real, true, whole body transformation.

304// Low Estrogen Levels Explained: Why Your Body Can’t Make Hormones Right Now

Thu, 19 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Have you been told you have low estrogen — and the solution was immediately birth control or hormone replacement — but no one could explain why your estrogen is low in the first place?

Or maybe you haven’t even tested yet, but you’re dealing with classic low estrogen symptoms like dry skin, low libido, thinning hair, weight gain, anxiety, or brain fog… and you’re wondering if low estrogen could be the missing piece.

Or maybe you have tried supplements, hormones, or lifestyle changes to raise estrogen — and nothing sticks. You feel better for a minute… then crash again. And you’re left asking: Why won’t my hormones actually rebalance?

If you said “yes” to any of those, this episode is for you.

Today we’re continuing the Real Root Cause Series, where I take conditions that are commonly treated like the root cause — and show you what’s actually driving them underneath. This matters because confusing a symptom for a root cause is the fastest way to stay stuck… even when you’re “doing all the right things.”

Today’s topic is low estrogen.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

Why low estrogen really happens
Common low estrogen signs and side effects
Why artificially boosting estrogen sets you up for potentially worse problems long-term
The five real root causes that lead to low estrogen
And the exact tests to find which root causes you are uniquely dealing with

And one more thing — for this entire Real Root Cause Series, I’ve created visuals.

If you’re a visual learner, or you want to see the full big-picture flow of what’s draining your hormones, head to betterbellytherapies.com/root to download the graphics that go with this episode.

Because when you stop trying to raise estrogen by force and start restoring the vitality your body needs to make hormones again — that’s when you get full-body transformation.

303// Histamine Intolerance Symptoms (Why Food Can't Fix)

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Have you been told you have histamine intolerance… so now you’re cutting out everything—leftovers, fermented foods, bone broth, even avocado—because you read they’re histamine high foods… and you’re still reacting?

Or maybe you don’t have an “official” diagnosis… but you’ve got classic histamine intolerance symptoms like anxiety, reflux, bloating, eczema, dizziness, insomnia, or weird food reactions… and you’re wondering if histamine is the problem?

Or you’ve tried all the things to treat high histamine - low histamine diet, histamine intolerance supplements like DAO, even a full-on histamine intolerance treatment plan from another practitione - but you still have histamine symptoms, so you’re asking: why won’t my histamine calm down?

If you said “yes” to any of these questions, then this episode is for you.

Today we’re continuing the Real Root Cause Series—where I take conditions that get treated like the root cause… and I show you what’s actually driving them. Because knowing a fake root cause vs. a real root cause is the difference between managing symptoms forever… or finally getting your life back.

Today’s topic is: histamine.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

What histamine intolerance really is
The most common histamine intolerance symptoms you’re probably not connecting to histamine
Why a low histamine diet can become a cyclical trap that never heals you
The 6 real root causes that keep histamine high (even when you “eat perfectly”)
And how to choose the right testing and support to find and reverse those root causes

And one more thing—because I’m doing something fun for this whole series: visuals.

If you’re a visual learner and want the flow chart that goes with this episode, go to betterbellytherapies.com/root and download the graphics.

Because when you stop trying to avoid high histamine food like they’re your enemy… and start fixing what’s making your body unable to handle histamine - that’s when you get your life back.

302// Estrogen Dominance Explained: Symptoms, Signs, and the Real Causes of High Estrogen

Thu, 05 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Have you been diagnosed with estrogen dominance recently - and your doctor recommended taking birth control to control it, but you're wondering WHY your estrogen is high to begin with?

Or, do you have no testing confirming that you have high estrogen, but you're suspicious you may have it based on your symptoms? And, you're wondering how you can naturally balance your hormones again?

Or, have you tried to take supplements or do things to balance your hormones, but nothing has worked, and you're wondering WHY your hormones just won't get balanced?

If you said "yes" to any of these questions - this episode is for you.

Today’s topic is: estrogen dominance.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

What estrogen dominance is
Symptoms of high estrogen
Why estrogen dominance isn't a real root cause
The 5 causes of high estrogen
What tests you need to see exactly which root causes you're dealing with
Why estrogen dominance supplements aren't enough - and what do to instead to lower your estrogen levels

And one more thing — I’m doing something fun for this entire Real Root Cause Series: visuals.

If you’re a visual learner, or you want the big picture laid out clearly, go to betterbellytherapies.com/root to download the graphics that go with this episode.

Because when you stop fighting high estrogen like it’s your primary enemy... and start addressing what’s actually driving it up — that’s when you get balanced hormones.

301// Candida isn't a root cause - this is what's really causing it

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Have you been diagnosed with candida overgrowth — but you're frustrated that your treatments haven't work?

Have you not been diagnosed, but all your symptoms — bloating, brain fog, sugar cravings, skin flares, even recurring yeast infections or UTIs — keep pointing you back to candida?

Or have you treated candida before… felt better during the protocol… and then watched everything slowly creep back in and thought, “Why is this happening again?”

If you said "yes" to any of these questions - this episode is for you.

Today’s topic is: candida.

My hope is that this episode blows your mind and helps you to completely rewire how you think about candida. If you get today's episode, you will understand everything you need to to

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

Why treating candida directly - with diet changes, cleanses, or supplements - so often doesn't work (and ends up with you doing it again and again)
The real root causes that drive candida to overgrow in the first place
Why different people have totally different sets of candida causes underneath the surface
What testing can actually help you map the problem correctly
And what you need to do so candida doesn’t just disappear for a month… and then take over again

And one more thing — I’m doing something new for this entire Real Root Cause Series: visuals.

Because when you stop fighting candida like it’s your primary enemy... and start addressing what’s actually feeding it — that’s when it stops coming back.

300// Hypothyroidism isn't a root cause. Here's what is.

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Have you been told that your thyroid — or hypothyroidism — is the reason you’re dealing with fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, dry skin, constipation, bloating, or digestive issues that seem to keep piling up?

Have you started thyroid medication or supplements, only to feel maybe a little better… but still not like yourself?

Or maybe your doctor is telling you that your labs are “normal,” but you're still suspicious thyroid might have something to do with it — and you want to know how you can support your thyroid safely to boost your energy, digestion, and metabolism?

If any of that sounds familiar, then this episode is for you.

Today's topic is: thyroid health — specifically hypothyroidism.

This episode might ruffle some feathers, because I’m going to make the case that hypothyroidism itself is not a true root cause. That doesn’t mean your symptoms aren’t real. And it definitely doesn’t mean your labs don’t matter. But it doesmean that something else is driving why your thyroid hormones aren’t working the way they should.

In this episode, I’m walking you through:

Why thyroid medication alone often doesn’t fully resolve symptoms
How you can have “normal” labs and still have hypothyroid symptoms
How thyroid hormones are actually made, converted, and used in the body
What this has to do with finding (and testing for) the real root causes to thyroid imbalance
What gut health has to do with thyroid health
And what needs to be addressed underneath your thyroid for your symptoms to truly improve

If you're ready to understand your thyroid better than you ever have, plus have the tools you need to support your thyroid (and whole body health) beyond medication - then this episode is for you.

299// Slow Motility isn't a root cause. Here's what is.

Thu, 15 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Have you been told that slow motility is the reason you’re constipated, bloated, or dealing with digestive issues that just won’t resolve?

Have you tried to “treat” slow motility — with supplements, laxatives, diets, or protocols — only to find that nothing actually sticks?

Or maybe you haven’t been formally diagnosed, but all signs seem to point to slow digestion, sluggish bowels, or food just not moving the way it should.

If any of that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.

Today's topic is: slow motility.

Slow motility is a common diagnosis I hear clients get from a doctor who explains that "slow motility" is why they have constipation, acid reflux, bloating, or some other digestive issue. The solution to slow motility, according to the doctor, is usually either "get used to it", surgery (when motility is bad enough), or a merry-go-round of supplements or medications designed to help "slow motility" (but that don't really help relieve your symptoms).

The reason these methods don't really help slow motility is because slow motility is NOT a root cause. It's being CAUSED by something else!

That's why, on today's episode, I'm breaking down:

Why treating slow gut motility with supplements or medications rarely works
The real causes of slow gut motility
How to test for these root causes of low motility
And what actually needs to be addressed for motility to return naturally

If you're ready to stop chasing new and different supplements or simply feeling like a victim to the rate your body decided to digest at - then this episode is for you.

298// Low Stomach Acid Explained: A Real Root Cause of Acid Reflux, Candida, Constipation, and SIBO

Thu, 08 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Are you struggling with acid reflux, bloating, constipation, SIBO, or candida overgrowth?

Do you feel like you've tried everything to heal — supplements, protocols, elimination diets, practitioners — and they either didn't help, or the second you stopped doing it, all your symptoms came back?

If that’s you, there’s a very real chance you’re dealing with something you may have never heard of before: low stomach acid.

Yes, LOW stomach acid.

Today’s episode is kicking off a series I'm running this January - February called the Real Root Causes series. And I’m starting with low stomach acid on purpose.

Because while low stomach acid is something I reference constantly when working with chronic gut issues… here’s the plot twist:

-- it’s still not a REAL root cause.

Low stomach acid doesn’t just happen. And if you don’t understand why it’s happening, you’ll stay stuck in the cycle of temporary fixes and recurring symptoms.

So today, I'm going to break down the REAL root causes to low stomach acid. I'll be covering topics like:

Why low stomach acid happens
My favorite at-home low stomach acid test
Signs of low stomach acid
Why apple cider vinegar for low stomach acid is not safe until you test this ONE thing
The REAL root causes of low stomach acid
How to test for the root causes of low stomach acid
And the exact low stomach acid remedies and protocols you'll need to permanently reverse it - so you can finally get rid of your acid reflux, constipation, SIBO, and candida infection, too

If all you’ve ever been told to do to help your stomach acid or digestion is drink lemon water, apple cider vinegar, or take HCl supplements, then this episode is for you.

297// How I Reversed My Constipation, Acid Reflux, and IBS (in 7 Steps)

Thu, 01 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0400

It’s been almost 300 episodes, and I realized something recently… I haven’t fully re-shared my healing story in a really long time.

So as a way to celebrate the new year, I'm telling my story again — but with new details, deeper clarity, and perspective I didn’t have the first time I shared it… all the way back in Episode 1.

Eight years ago, in 2018, I reversed two straight years of constipation, acid reflux, and IBS— after being told there was nothing “wrong” with me… and nothing more that could be done. Now, my health is actually better now than it was when I was a kid.

In today’s episode, I’m walking you through the 7 steps I took to naturally heal my gut when absolutely nothing else worked. It's the same 7 steps I’ve now used with over 650 clients to naturally remedy constipation, acid reflux, bloating, IBS, PMS, acne, eczema, and more - and once you know these 7 steps, for you to experience the same results, too.

I can’t wait to break it all down for you. Let's dive in.

296// Top Caffeine Free Drinks to Heal Adrenal Fatigue

Thu, 25 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Have you ever had a practitioner casually tell you, “You need to cut out caffeine,” and your whole brain just went:

“I’m sorry… WHAT?” Yeah. That moment.

Because sure — your adrenal glands are fried. Your nervous system is tired. Your cortisol is tanking at all the wrong times of day.

But also… you’re a human. With routines. And feelings. And morning rituals you actually like.

So when I tell my clients they need a break from caffeine — coffee, black tea, matcha, even green tea — the very next question is always: “Okay… but how am I supposed to have any energy?”

Great news: we fix that.

I actually give every client a supplement that increases the half-life of their cortisol — so your natural energy lasts longer without the caffeine crash. (We love science.)

But then comes the second panic:

“Wait… what am I supposed to drink now?”

Because let’s be honest: the comfort of the drink matters just as much as the caffeine.

The warmth. The ritual. The cozy cup in your hands.

The “this is MY moment before the chaos starts” drink.

So today’s episode is my gift to you — a giant menu of delicious, client-approved, totally caffeine-free drinks that actually make this season fun, doable, and dare I say… enjoyable.

If you’re trying to go caffeine-free — or you’ve wanted to try but didn’t know what to replace your coffee with — this episode is going to give you ideas, options, and hope that you can still love your morning drink… even while giving your adrenals a well-deserved nap.

295// Gluten Free Holiday Tips: How to Enjoy the Holidays Even When No One Eats Like You

Thu, 18 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0400

You know that feeling when the holidays are coming… and instead of excitement, your brain jumps straight to, “Oh no. The food. The gatherings. The questions. The stress.”

Everyone else seems to be dreaming about cookies and cozy dinners — meanwhile, you’re mentally mapping out which dishes you’ll have to avoid, who’s going to forget your sensitivities again, and if you'll leave a meal yet AGAIN hungry, grumpy, and honestly? Feeling alone.

Everyone else is piling their plates high with Grandma’s stuffing and your brain is spinning: Is there anything here I can eat? Should I say something? Will I look rude? Am I overreacting?

It’s the comments about the food.

And let’s be real — half the stress isn’t even the food.

“What, you can’t eat this either?”

“Are you sure you’re not being dramatic?”

“I made it gluten free… except for the breadcrumbs.”

You know the drill.

So today I want to give you low-anxiety, high-clarity tips for navigating gluten free holidays (and grain free and dairy free) — even when absolutely no one else eats the way you do.

We’re going to talk about:

✨ How to get clear on what you need — before you ever talk to anyone else

✨ Who is actually worth having a conversation with (and who… isn’t)

✨ Why your food choices trigger other people’s insecurities — and how to not take that on

✨ What to say when you need support

✨ And how to walk into any gathering already fed, prepared, and confident so you’re not relying on the buffet table to save you

Because here’s the truth: You’re not asking for anything unreasonable.

You’re not being high-maintenance.

And you deserve to enjoy the holidays, too, without the anxiety spiral.

Let’s get into my top Gluten Free Holiday Tips so you can actually make the season feel fun again.

294// Top 5 Tips for Traveling Gluten Free, Dairy Free, and Grain Free

Thu, 11 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Have you ever tried to travel with food sensitivities, and it was so hard to eat within your guidelines that you simply gave up (or just couldn't find a way to do it)?

For me, I'm gluten free, dairy free, and grain free — or I know that one wrong restaurant choice means bloating, constipation, acid reflux, or feeling totally wrecked for the next 2-7 days.

Suddenly a trip that’s supposed to be fun becomes a game of, “What can I actually eat?”

If you’ve ever Googled things like gluten free travel tips, dairy free travel tips, healthy travel snacks, traveling with food restrictions, or even how to avoid bloating while traveling — this episode is for you.

Traveling with food sensitivities does not have to be stressful. You don’t need to simply eat less and feel hungry all the time. And you absolutely do not need to spend your whole vacation worrying about where the next meal is coming from.

Today, I’m sharing my 5 best tips for traveling with food sensitivities — the exact strategies I use as someone who eats gluten free, dairy free, mostly grain free, AND still wants to enjoy good food, feel amazing, and not get stuck with bloating or symptoms the whole trip.

We’re going to talk:

What foods to pack (and why your purse is basically your emergency blood-sugar kit)
How to pick restaurants when you’re gluten free, dairy free, or avoiding sauces, breading, or mystery oils
Which cuisines are secretly the easiest to eat out with food sensitivities — and which ones will sabotage you fast
How to build simple, safe travel meals so you feel good the whole trip
And how to manage food sensitivities on vacation without being the “difficult” one in the group.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by eating out, nervous about traveling with food allergies, or tired of coming home from a trip feeling heavy, bloated, or off — this episode is for you.

293 // 10 Best Protein Powders for Gut Health (Dairy-Free + Gluten-Free)

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Have you recently switched to a dairy-free diet and suddenly realized your old protein powder is off the table?

Or maybe you’ve heard that most conventional protein powders are loaded with fillers, artificial sweeteners, gums, and even heavy metals — and now you’re wondering what safe, clean protein powder alternatives you’re actually supposed to buy.

If you’re anything like me — or my clients — you’re probably standing in the protein aisle (or scrolling on Amazon) feeling completely overwhelmed.

There are so many options… and let’s be honest: not all of them taste great, and not all of them are good for your gut.

That’s why today, I’m breaking down the top 10 healthy, dairy-free, gluten-free, gut-friendly protein powders that my clients and I personally use and love.

I’ll walk you through:

who each powder is best for,
why my clients liked it,
and what makes each one a great fit for sensitive digestion.

And make sure you stay until the end — because I’m revealing the TOP recommendations LAST.

I’ll also give you a quick summary of which protein powders to try first depending on what’s going on in your body — whether you’re dealing with candida, want the best plant-based options, or you need something for a super-sensitive gut.

As we head into the holiday season — with travel, treats, and routine changes — I hope these recommendations give you easy, delicious ways to support your gut, your energy, and your taste buds.

292// 3 Secrets to Heal Your Gut Fast (& avoid common mistakes!)

Thu, 27 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0400

What makes some people heal faster than others?

And how can you use that information to speed up your own healing process?

Since healing myself in 2018, I’ve worked with hundreds of men and women — in my clinic and online — to find and fix the root causes behind their gut, skin, sinus, hormone, and autoimmune issues.

And after working with all these clients, I started asking myself: what made the difference that helps some clients heal fast, while others healed slow?

Was it random who healed quickly? Or was it from invisible, uncontrollable factors like their genes?

Turns out—it wasn’t random. And it definitely wasn’t genetics.

There were clear, repeatable habits my fastest-healing clients shared.

Today, I’m breaking down the top 3 things my most successful clients do to heal their gut FAST—so you can do the same.

291 // Liver Enzymes High? Causes, Symptoms, and What to Do Next

Thu, 20 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Have you ever had your doctor tell you your liver enzymes are too high — and then… not really know what to do about it?

Maybe they asked if you drink alcohol.

You said no.

And then they just told you to “keep an eye on it.”

No answers. No next steps.

Just… watch and wait.

Or - have you had a doctor freak out on you that your liver enzymes were high, and you walked away super stressed about it, but you didn't feel good about the options they gave you to lower it?

This situation is SUPER common with clients I've had. Clients who looked healthy on the outside (they're labs "looked fine"), but their liver enzymes were high - and doctors didn't have any good recommendations.

That's why, on today's episode, we're covering ALL THING high liver enzymes.

We'll be covering:

The surprisingly simple explanation behind what liver enzymes elevated means
Causes of elevated liver enzymes (beyond just too much alcohol)
Symptoms of high liver enzymes (do you have any of these?)
The crazy connection between elevated liver enzymes and gut health symptoms like bloating and hormone symptoms like PMS
What additional testing you can do (beyond your liver enzyme blood test) to find the root cause behind your elevated liver enzymes
How to actually support your liver so your enzymes - and your body - can come back into balance

If you’ve ever been told your liver enzyme levels are high but you don’t drink, you eat healthy, and your doctor still can’t explain it — then this episode is for you.

TIMESTAMPS:

00:00 - Introduction: Understanding High Liver Enzymes

00:45 - Common Causes of Elevated Liver Enzymes

01:39 - Functional Medicine Approach to Liver Health

02:50 - What High Liver Enzymes Really Mean

05:27 - Beyond Alcohol: Other Causes of Liver Stress

12:35 - Symptoms of Liver Stress

17:12 - Steps to Address Elevated Liver Enzymes

290// The Real Root Causes of Restless Leg Syndrome (That No One’s Talking About)

Thu, 13 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Have you been diagnosed with restless leg syndrome - but the iron pills or medications you've been given for it aren't giving you any relief?

Do you struggle with chronic fatigue, and you've been told it's from restless leg syndrome, but nothing you try makes you feel more rested?

If you’ve ever spent nights Googling “restless leg syndrome treatment” or “restless leg syndrome causes,” you know how frustrating RLS is.

When I was diagnosed with restless leg syndrome in middle school, I felt the same confusion and frustration about my RLS.

I was told it was because I had low iron. I took the supplement, and it maybe helped a little...but I still felt exhausted throughout the day.

It wasn't until I became a functional health practitioner that I figured out what was causing my restless leg syndrome - and how to treat restless leg syndrome for myself in a way that actually WORKED.

Now - I've found COMPLETE restless leg syndrome relief (which my husband is so grateful for!). And today, I'm going to teach you how you can do the same.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into the real root causes of Restless Leg Syndrome — the ones most doctors never mention.

You’ll learn how restless leg syndrome connects to your brain, iron levels, airway health, and even your gut health — and what steps you can take to finally find restless leg syndrome relief naturally.

Restless leg syndrome isn't random, and you're not stuck with it for forever.

It's time to teach you the root cause of restless leg syndrome so that your legs - and your sleep - can finally find some peace.

289// Do you have a calcium shell? What this HTMA test marker can reveal about chronic fatigue, anxiety, and gut health

Thu, 06 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Are you struggling with chronic conditions like chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, or IBS?

Or - do you have a history of kidney stones, osteopenia / osteoporosis, depression, or anxiety?

Have you tried to eliminate these conditions or symptoms and wondered why your body just won’t respond — no matter what you do?

You’ve changed your diet. You’ve tried probiotics, detoxes, counseling, or gut health protocols… but your energy’s still low, your mood’s still off, and you feel stuck inside your own body.

What if I told you your body might be trapped behind something called a calcium shell?

A calcium shell is one of the most powerful patterns I see on HTMA testing — and it can explain everything from chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, brain fog, depression, and anxiety, to constipation, bloating, IBS, kidney stones, and even osteoporosis or osteopenia.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the right things but your body just isn’t budging — this episode is going to open your eyes.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

What a calcium shell is
Common causes of calcium shells
Why so many people with hidden copper toxicity or thyroid issues have it without knowing

I'll also cover what you need to do to reverse calcium shells — and why breaking through a calcium shell can completely change how your body responds to food, supplements, and stress.

So if you’ve ever felt “Something’s missing” in your healing journey — this might be it!

Let’s dive in.

287// How to safely get off PPI's and reverse acid reflux naturally

Thu, 23 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Have you ever wondered how to get OFF your PPI safely - without hurting your body in the process?

This is one of the most common questions I get from my clients who are struggling with acid reflux.

And I get it.

I’ve worked with clients on 1 PPI a day… 2 PPIs a day… even 3 PPIs a day PLUS tums and antacids stacked on top.

I’ve worked with a client told by doctors at the University of Michigan that there was nothing left they could do for her.

And I’ve gotten clients like her all the way down to ZERO PPIs.

Here’s the thing: if you’re on a PPI, your acid reflux is probably pretty severe. Stopping cold turkey can leave you in pain, afraid to eat, and stuck in fear.

So - how do you get off PPIs safely?

That is exactly what we’re covering today.

On today's episode, we're diving into:

The #1 thing stopping you from getting off PPIs
How to taper off PPIs without pain
Stories of clients who’ve ended 20+ and even 40+ years of acid reflux with this approach

If you’re ready to finally end your reflux for good - this episode is for you.

286// Hiatal Hernias Can’t Keep You Stuck: How to Heal Acid Reflux Without Surgery

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0400

I get asked about hiatal hernias all the time inside my program. And usually, the fear goes something like this:

“My doctor told me I have a hiatal hernia, and that means I’ll always have acid reflux.”

Unfortunately, this has caused a LOT of anxiety for my clients.

Fortunately - it's WRONG.

You can 100% get rid of acid reflux - even with a hiatal hernia. And you may not need surgery to do it.

On today’s episode, I’m breaking down everything you need to know about hiatal hernias:

ALL the symptoms of hiatal hernia (including the ones you may have never heard of)
The hidden causes of hiatal hernia—why it happens in the first place
Natural hiatal hernia treatments that don’t involve invasive surgery
And how I reversed my own hiatal hernia during pregnancy - and saved myself months of pain and reflux

If you’ve been told that your hiatal hernia will never go away, or that it’s the reason you’ll always have acid reflux, I hope this episode gives you hope and shows you EXACTLY what you can do about it.

285// 2 Steps to Reversing Your Acid Reflux (for good!)

Thu, 09 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Are you tired of chasing your acid reflux symptoms with PPI's, annoying food restrictions like the GERD diet, or hyper-vigilance about when and how much food you eat?

When you ask your doctor if there's ANYTHING else you can do to help your acid reflux, do they tell you that you just need to pop another antacid, avoid trigger foods, or sleep on a wedge pillow?

Do you wish there was a solution to acid reflux that was permanent, so you could eat late at night without worrying about a reflux flare, or that you could eat your favorite foods again without feeling punished for it later?

If you said yes to any of these questions, then this episode is for you.

On today's episode, my goal is to lay out acid reflux in one MASTER episode so that, by the end of it, you can have a map for exactly how to find, and deal with, the root cause(s) of your acid reflux.

In this episode, I’m talking about:

The real causes of acid reflux and GERD symptoms (and why it’s not “too much acid”)
The difference between acid reflux, GERD, LPR, and silent reflux — and why this episode can help ALL of these diagnoses
Why standard acid reflux drugs (PPIs, acid reducers) give quick relief but cause long-term problems
How the acid reflux diet and GERD diet miss the root cause
And, most importantly, 2 steps to reversing your acid reflux (for good!)

If you're tired of relying on medication to manage your acid reflux and want freedom from your stomach terror - then this episode is for you.

284// How She Ended 10 Years of Insomnia, Acne & Anxiety in 1 Week! [Testimonial - Libby]

Thu, 02 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0400

What do you do when you’ve tried everything - from birth control to spironolactone to visiting the Cleveland Clinic to working with a functional medicine doctor - and you’re still stuck with acne, anxiety, gut issues, and 10 years of insomnia?

Welcome to Libby’s story.

As a registered dietitian, health expert, and someone who had already poured a decade into searching for answers, my client Libby was still waking up at 1–3AM every night, battling anxiety, and dealing with skin breakouts she thought she’d never get rid of.

But after just one week of following her customized health plan from Better Belly Blueprint, everything started to change.

How did she do it?

In this episode, you’ll hear:

How Libby’s insomnia disappeared in days after starting her first protocol
The shocking food triggers that were behind her acne, anxiety, and even skin conditions doctors couldn’t solve
Why even with all her research, she couldn’t find relief until she ran the right tests
How she went from discouraged and stuck to finally confident that full healing is possible

If you’ve been chasing answers for years and still feel like your body is a mystery, this episode is proof: real healing can happen faster than you think.

283// Stop Wasting Money on the DUTCH Test (Here’s Why)

Thu, 25 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Have you ever heard the DUTCH test is the gold standard for hormone testing?

Are you looking for hormone testing, and are considering getting a DUTCH test?

Maybe your practitioner recommended it. Maybe you’ve seen functional medicine influencers promoting it. Or maybe you’ve been thinking… “If I could just see my hormone levels, then I’d finally know what’s wrong.”

Here’s the problem: The DUTCH test absolutely is the best hormone test out there that I know of - but can it actually tell you what to do to HEAL your symptoms?

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down:

What the DUTCH test is
Why it’s actually the weakest of all the functional medicine tests when it comes to real healing
When doing the DUTCH test is actually helpful
And, if you're not going to do a DUTCH test, what I recommend you do instead

If you’ve been frustrated by hormone symptoms that won’t go away, or you’ve tried “fixing” your hormones without success — this episode is going to give you a whole new perspective.

282// Homebirth VBAC After C-Section: My Unmedicated Birth Story #2

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Are you a momma looking to go from a C-section to a medicated or unmedicated VBAC?

Are you considering doing a home birth, but are worried your history of breech babies or Caesareans?

Or - are you simply an avid listener of mine who has been wanting to be a fly on the wall and hear my birth story for baby #2?

If you said "yes" to any of these questions, then this episode is for you!

In today’s episode, I’m sharing my full VBAC birth story. Everything from what it looked like to pursue a vaginal birth after cesarean after my first child’s delivery ended in surgery. To asking the question, “Should I have a home birth or not?” To facing breech pregnancy fears, working with a midwife, and preparing for both the risks and advantages of a homebirth. Whatever it is, I’m taking you inside every step of my pregnancy for baby #2.

You’ll hear what surprised me most about my VBAC recovery versus C-section recovery, what I learned about tearing during birth and birth hematomas, and my honest perspective on whether vaginal or cesarean recovery is harder. I’ll also share what the HARDEST part of my mental hurdles — the fear of a repeat 48-hour labor, the doubt over my body’s progress, and how I finally delivered in just 14 hours.

If you’re pregnant, considering a VBAC in pregnancy, or curious about the pros and cons of homebirth, this story will give you insight, encouragement, and the reality behind one mom’s choice to write a new birth story.

And because easy, nutritious food was one of my greatest supports through pregnancy and postpartum recovery, I want to give you a FREE GIFT on this episode: my 60+ page family recipe book. Inside are 45 gluten free, grain free, and dairy free recipes — quick, nourishing, and perfect for moms juggling newborns and toddlers. Grab your copy at betterbellytherapies.com/recipes, then listen in to hear EXACTLY how I used this book to make my pregnancy and post-partum easier - and how you can, too.

281// How to Manage Anxiety During the Two-Week Wait: Fertility, TTC & Emotional Resilience, with Dr. Jane Levesque

Thu, 11 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Do you know what the hardest part of the fertility journey is for so many women?

It’s the two week wait.

That stretch of time after ovulation, when you’re hoping this will finally be the month… and battling TTC anxiety every single day until you know if you’re pregnant.

If you’ve ever been there, you know the two week wait can feel like two years. The questions, the Googling, the second-guessing every cramp or symptom. It’s exhausting. And it can make you feel like you’re losing trust in your own body.

That’s why, in today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Dr. Jane Levesque, a naturopathic doctor who specializes in fertility, women’s hormones, and supporting you in the emotional side of TTC.

Together, we’re unpacking practical ways to handle two week wait anxiety, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with your body while you’re trying to conceive.

Whether you’re in the thick of the two week wait right now, or just want to prepare yourself for the ups and downs of TTC, this episode will give you the clarity and encouragement you need to stop feeling broken and start feeling empowered.

P.S. Not TTC but trying to manage anxiety around healing your gut, autoimmune flares, or chronic issues like mold? This episode is ALSO for you! Listen in to learn Dr. Jane's TOP TIPS on managing anxiety that applies to all things health!

280// Birth Control Side Effects: What They’re Doing to Your Gut, Thyroid, and Brain - with Leisha Drews, FDN-P

Thu, 04 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Do you know what’s happening in your body when you take birth control?

Most women are told about the obvious birth control side effects — a little weight gain, maybe some mood swings — but you have to work MUCH harder to find anyone talking about the deeper impacts on your brain, thyroid, gallbladder, gut, and even fertility.

That’s why today I’m talking with hormone expert Leisha Drews - mom of 3, RN, FDN-P, RCPC, Holistic Hormone Coach, and host of the Happily Hormonal Podcast. Leisha brings a wonderful understanding of how our body systems work together and how stress on the body and mind impact overall health.

Together, we’re tackling the dirty details of birth control:

Different types of birth control available
How they actually work in the body
And the real birth control side effects you need to know before making a decision

Because the truth is — birth control side effects go far beyond what your doctor explains.

We’re talking changes to memory, mood, attraction, thyroid health, nutrient depletion, and even your risk of autoimmune disease.

So if you’ve ever wondered: birth control, how does it work? What are the real trade-offs? And what should you focus on if you’re thinking about coming off it? — then you are in the right place.

And whether you’re looking into birth control implants, birth control pills, birth control with no hormones, or a birth control patch… whatever type of birth control you’re considering — this episode is for you.

00:19 - Guest Introduction

279// Why Going Low FODMAP, Paleo, or Gluten-Free Isn’t Healing Your Gut

Thu, 28 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Have you ever felt like you've tried every gut healing diet out there — low FODMAP diet, paleo diet, gluten-free diet, low histamine diet, or a candida cleanse — and still deal with stubborn symptoms? Symptoms like...

Bloating, fatigue, constipation.

Skin issues like acne or eczema.

Hormonal symptoms like PMS or mood swings.

Or mystery symptoms your doctors can't find a cause for.

If you've been relying on food restrictions to heal your gut — or hoping that cutting just one more food will finally fix your digestion, hormones, or skin — here's the truth:

Food restrictions alone cannot heal your gut.

Yes, a gut health diet may bring relief from symptoms, but it's not a long-term solution. If food restrictions so far have not healed your gut or symptoms you're trying to correct, then there IS no mystery, perfect diet out there waiting for you.

The real issue isn't the food you're eating (or not eating) - it's the fact that you're not looking OUTSIDE of diet to the hidden root causes driving your symptoms.

If you’re only looking at food restrictions address the real root causes behind your gut problems, you’re only scratching the surface.

In today’s episode, I’m revealing:

Why food restrictions may reduce symptoms but never reverse gut dysfunction
The biological reason your food sensitivity list may be getting longer
The 4 overlooked root causes that stall gut healing — even on a perfect diet
The specific lab tests that can literally SHOW you YOUR specific path to healing

Healing should never feel like a never-ending guessing game of whack-a-mole.

If you're ready for real gut healing, not just symptom suppression, then this episode is for you.

00:00 - Introduction: The Limitations of Gut Healing Diets

01:52 - Welcome to the Better Belly Podcast

278// How to find quick bloating relief with candida for a TTC momma

Thu, 21 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Do you ever feel like your bloating has a mind of its own — showing up no matter what you eat?

You’ve tried cutting foods, sipping kombucha, taking probiotics… but your belly still feels like it’s about to pop.

Why is this?

Spoiler alert: I'm about to talk about something NO ONE is talking about on the internet. And that is... your bloating is persistent because it can have MANY causes.

If you don’t know your specific cause, you’re just guessing at remedies. That’s why, for many of my clients, some of the most popular “bloating remedies” (like probiotics, apple cider vinegar, and more) have even made symptoms worse.

In today’s episode, I’m answering a question from a listener who’s dealing with severe bloating every single day — plus candida overgrowth — and is also planning to start trying for a baby soon.

We’ll cover:

Why candida isn’t a root cause (and what that means for your bloating)
The first changes you can make now to get bloating relief — without making things worse
How to know which bloating natural remedies are right for you
What you need to know about doing gut and detox protocols while trying to conceive

If you’ve been stuck with a bloated belly and you’re ready for real answers — not just random remedies — this episode is for you.

277// Why Vitamin D, Probiotics & Collagen May Be Wrecking Your Health

Thu, 14 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Have you ever bought a supplement because you heard it was healthy… or because your doctor recommended it… but after weeks or even months, you still didn’t feel any better?

Maybe you’ve been faithfully taking Vitamin D, probiotics, or collagen because “everyone says” they’re good for you. But here’s the thing—what if these same supplements are not only not helping… they’re actually making things worse?

In today’s episode, I’m diving into the truth about Vitamin D, probiotics, and collagen - and how they may be draining your wallet and sabotaging your health at the same time.

We’ll talk about the science you probably haven’t heard, the hidden reasons these popular supplements can backfire, and what to do instead so you can stop wasting money and start seeing real results.

If you’re tired of playing supplement roulette—buying bottle after bottle, hoping something will finally work—this episode will help you break the cycle for good.

If you’ve been struggling with bloating after eating, persistent stomach aches, or weird food reactions that no one seems to understand - then this episode is for you.

In today’s episode, I’m talking with my client Sarah, who lived with daily bloating, fatigue, and a stomach ache for 20 years.

She’d tried cutting out gluten, sugar, alcohol, dozens of practitioners, and even a low histamine diet - yet nothing brought relief.

Until she found the Better Belly Blueprint.

In just 6 weeks, her bloating, fatigue, and stomach pain were gone. She had energy. Hunger. And answers for the first time in decades.

So if you’ve ever wondered:

What are the real causes of my bloating and stomach aches?

Or you've wondered how to actually get bloating relief that lasts…

This episode is your next step toward real relief.

Let’s dive in.

275// Spent $10,000+ on Healing and Don't Know Where to Turn? 5 Steps to Take Next

Thu, 31 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0400

When clients come to work with me, one of the most common stories I hear is:

"I've already spent THOUSANDS of dollars healing."

This story often comes with a mix of bitterness, grief, and discouragement, but the most dangerous emotion it can come with is distrust.

While other emotions like bitterness and grief can be painful or heavy to bear, distrust is one of the most dangerous emotions I see potential clients have because it breaks their ability to rely on others. Relying on others is something we all need to heal, because whether it's a matter of paying an expert to help us do something or simply trusting a friend or family member to care about us and bear our burdens with us, distrust sows the seed of unwillingness to move forward and get what we actually need to heal - others.

That's why, on today's episode, I'm digging into the topic of how to handle the distrust that comes along when multiple providers or "solutions" you've paid time, money, and effort on end up in disappointment and pain.

On this episode, I'll be sharing parts of my own personal story with distrust and discouragement in my health along with quotes from a book I've been digging into on trust, and stories from the lives of my clients.

Whether you're trying to heal your gut, hormones, thyroid, brain, or any other set of symptoms or diagnoses - I hope this episode encourages you and gives you brain something new to chew on as you move forward in healing.

274// Is Iodine Deficiency behind your constipation, brain fog, weight gain, fatigue? Find out here

Thu, 24 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Iodine is the building block to healthy and happy thyroid. Without sufficient iodine, we can't build the very hormones that our thyroid gland is supposed to make - T4 and T3.

So, if you have a deficiency of thyroid hormone, as is in the case of hypothyroidism - why are more doctors looking into iodine deficiency as a possible root cause behind hypothyroidism?

That is a question I'm answering on today's episode, along with the even more important questions of: if you're doctor isn't going to test you, how can YOU evaluate your own iodine levels. And secondly, if they are low, how can you safely build them up again.

There's a lot of controversy around iodine, both on whether or not we even need more iodine in our diets as well as if iodine supplement is even safe.

That's why, on today's episode, we're diving into:

Symptoms of iodine deficiency
Why iodine in salt is not enough
Why iodine testing is so hard
What tests I recommend to evaluate iodine levels
3 safety measures for an iodine protocol
Access to my iodine protocol I've used with my own clients

If you're dealing with hypothyroidism, bloating, constipation, brain fog, fatigue, weight gain, or hormonal symptoms like estrogen dominance, PMS, or endometriosis - then this episode is for you.

TIMESTAMPS:

00:00 - Introduction to Iodine and Thyroid Health

273// Stop Doing Leaky Gut Tests. Do this instead.

Thu, 17 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0400

When I first got sick in 2015 and started the long journey of trying to heal myself, I was REALLY pre-occupied with the concept of leaky gut.

I remember Googling questions like:

Is leaky gut real?
Did I have it?
Was it causing my problems?
What supplements, diets, or probiotics could I take to heal my leaky gut naturally?

And I can remember wondering, for years, "Can anyone test me for this? Would anyone believe me if I told them I had leaky gut?"

It took me almost 5 years to FULLY understand why asking the question "do I have leaky gut" is entirely the wrong question to be asking, and learning what question I SHOULD be asking instead to heal both myself and my clients.

That's why, on today's episode, I'm breaking down all things leaky gut, including topics like:

Is leaky gut real?
Leaky gut symptoms
Most common leaky gut tests (and if you they're worth your money)
My 3 second leaky gut self-test
Why you should STOP testing for leaky gut - now!
What you should be focusing on instead (the real causes of leaky gut)
My personal, best leaky gut treatment
Why leaky gut probiotics, a leaky gut diet, or leaky gut supplements can't heal your leaky gut
Realistic timelines to heal leaky gut (why you can't heal leaky gut in 2 weeks)

272// Is Glyphosate Causing Your Gut Health Issues?

Thu, 10 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Have you switched to eating organic foods, but you still have gut health, or whole body health, issues?

Do you felt like you eat perfectly, but you don't know why you still have health issues, while you know other people with NO health issues who don't eat organic at all?

Have you wondered if there is any purpose to eating organic if it's not yielding a noticeable outcome in your health?

If you said yes to any of these questions, then this episode is for you.

On today's episode, I'm sharing exactly how much weight you should assign to glyphosate and chemical herbicides and pesticides in their role on your gut health. I'll give you my take on whether or not you should be eating organic, and if not, what else you should be putting your time and focus on to heal your gut and whole body.

I'm going to be sharing multiple pieces of juicy resources that you DON'T want to miss for today's episode. So be ready to pull out a pen and paper or your phone - or be sure to grab our show notes by the end of the episode. It's time to crack some myths around glyphosate and your gut.

271// What makes our gut health program so successful at Better Belly Therapies?

Thu, 03 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Learn what makes Better Belly Therapies different from other gut health programs, and why our program is so successful.

Have you been listening to the Better Belly Podcast for a while and want to work with us, but you aren't sure what offer is best for you?

Or - have you been recommended to work with us, and you were recommended to listen to this episode?

Or - are you not familiar at all with how we work with people, and you just want to know more about our offers?

If so, then today's episode is for you!

On today's episode, I'm answering all questions related to the ways we work with people here at Better Belly Therapies. To do this conversation, I actually invited my friend Lynne Furtado onto the episode to have the conversation LIVE and ask real questions to me as I explain the programs. Because - it's more fun to have a conversation like this with a real person asking real questions rather than just monologuing into the mic!

Today, we'll be covering questions like:

How is our program different than others?
Why would someone want to go to our program as opposed to somebody else's?
What makes us more successful than other programs?
Can we handle sensitive patients?
How exactly do our offers work / what is the experience you'll have inside them?

If you're an audio learner or you don't want to take time to read through our website to learn about how we work with people, then I hope today's episode clears up some questions for you and helps you feel more confident in taking your next steps forward to heal.

Thu, 26 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Got a recent at home H. Pylori test, but not sure if your results mean you should treat H. Pylori? Hear the answer for the GI Map test!

Have you ever gotten H. Pylori testing, and your results didn't come back as high, but there was SOME H. Pylori on the test?

Should you treat H. Pylori or not if the results aren't high?

Today's podcast episode topic comes from this very same question that Tracy B. submitted via our Ask Allison program.

She asked:

"I have had the GI Map test, and H. Pylori came up as a marker, but not high. Is this a low percentage? Or is any marker of H. Pylori a problem and needs to be treated?"

If you've wondered the same thing, or are looking into H. Pylori testing and wanting to know that answer, then this episode is for you!

269// Is the MTHFR gene mutation really keeping you from healing? with Jaclyn Downs

Thu, 19 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Do you have the MTHFR gene mutation, and feel like it may be what's holding you back from healing?

Or - do you not know if you have the MTHFR gene SNP, but wonder if you have it, how much it might be impacting you healing, and what the best testing is for it?

If you have ANY question as to how much the MTHFR gene may be impacting your healing, then you DON'T want to miss today's episode.

On today's episode, I'm interviewing Functional Genomics expert, Jaclyn Downs, on all things MTHFR and gene mutations. I met Jaclyn recently in the Instagram comments section of my profile when she offered up some free help to someone asking a question about genes. I love Jaclyn's response so much, and upon doing some quick stalking, fell even more in love with her knowledge and approach to genes. Naturally - I just had to have her on the podcast to share her with you all.

A bit about Jaclyn: Jaclyn has a master's degree in Holistic Nutrition, a functional nutrigenomics certification from the NutriGenetic Research Institution, and is the author of the academically published book Enhancing Fertility Through Functional Medicine: Using Nutrigenomics to Solve ‘Unexplained’ Infertility. On top of gaining her functional nutrigenomics certification from the NutriGenetic Research Institution, Jaclyn helped to create the very same program by working a researcher for Bob Miller, a top genetics researcher, to help create his practitioner certification program.

Whether you are new to the conversation on how genes impact our health, or you've been in it a while, I hope my conversation today with Jaclyn is going to help you feel empowered and hopeful that no matter what genes you have - you CAN heal your body.

268// Get Functional Medicine Costs Taken Care of with this Health Insurance Alternative - KnewHealth, with Danielle Drori

Thu, 12 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Want functional medicine expenses covered, but insurance won't cover it? Learn about this health insurance alternative - Knew Health!

Have you ever wanted to get functional medicine care, but cost kept you from being able to afford it?

Or - have you been paying for functional medicine out of pocket, and you wonder why you're paying for health insurance if it won't even cover what you need to heal?

If you are in either of these categories, then you don't want to miss today's episode!

On today's episode, I'm interviewing Danielle Drori about a new health insurance alternative - Knew Health.

Knew Health is a cost-sharing ,or health-sharing program, that enables their members to get coverage for medical expenses similar to how we experience coverage with health insurance, but it covers WAY more, for WAY less.

I found out about Knew Health in the last 2 years, and while I haven't been able to join yet, they are the top cost-sharing program I would recommend to anyone - and on today's episode, I'm going to show you WHY.

By the end of today's episode, you'll understand:

How a cost sharing program works
What type of things you can share it (it's a LOT!)
What types of things can't be shared
All the ways Knew Health is superior to other cost sharing programs
How much a monthly membership costs
Tips on how you can transition away from your current health insurance / cost sharing program to Knew Health

If you've ever wanted an alternative to health insurance but didn't know where to look - I hope today's episode excites you and gives you hope for a better relationship with your finances and health.

267// The Best Food Sensitivity Test for You UPDATE, with Vibrant Wellness

Thu, 05 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Have you ever wondered - what is the best food sensitivity test out there?

Or - why are there so many tests, and how can you tell which one of the best?

Back in 2021, I wrote my first podcast episode on food sensitivity tests, Episode 59// How to Choose the Best Food Sensitivity Test for You. At the time, I had NO exposure or knowledge about the food sensitivity test I'm going to be sharing with you today, so I didn't mention it at ALL.

But, if I were to re-do that episode, I would HANDS DOWN have highlighted the special and unique food sensitivity test we're going to talk about today - and I would have NEVER ordered another MRT test.

It is likely a food sensitivity test you've NEVER heard of (many of my clients have never heard of it before), but it is far superior to any other food sensitivity test I've come across before.

To help explain exactly how and why this test is so much better than Viome, MRT, TinyHealth, or any other food sensitivity test I've looked at, I'm having on Adair Anderson, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and representative of Vibrant Wellness. Adair holds a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry, a master’s degree in clinical nutrition, and today, she is going to tell you all about my personal favorite food sensitivity test - the Food Zoomers.

Vibrant Wellness offers a myriad of lab tests, from Lyme testing to comprehensive gut health testing, but the lab I order the most from them is their food sensitivity test.

As you'll learn about on today's episode, the Food Zoomer tests your body for food sensitivities in a way that is completely different than almost every other lab out there.

Whether you're a food sensitivity test veteran with dozens under your belt (and an equal amount of confusion caused by them) or you haven't yet done your first test yet - this episode is guaranteed to enlighten you and give you insight into the capacities and limitations of food sensitivity tests, and explain why doing a Food Zoomer is likely your best bet to getting SUPER clear on what foods you should and shouldn't eat to heal your gut.

*Disclaimer: by having this episode out, I am NOT suggesting that you only need to eat the right food to heal. Food is, at most, only 20% of the equation to fully healing your gut. If you aren't familiar with the fact that food alone isn't enough to heal you (and what the rest of the 80% of the equation is), go to betterbellytherapies.com/training or click the link in the shownotes to get my free, full training.

266// Should I stop an estrogen detox supplement before my DUTCH test? LIVE Coaching

Thu, 29 May 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Happy last Thursday in May!

As we round out the end of May, I (Allison) am finishing up the last week of my maternity leave! To celebrate this, we're pulling content from our group coaching calls inside our private coaching group, the Better Belly Blueprint, to share with YOU.

Today's topic is from my client Melissa. She asked:

"My previous functional medicine provider put me on a supplement for my estrogen dominance about a year ago. Since then, I have been taking I-3-C Plus Dim and Calcium-D-Glucarate everyday. I feel that it has helped me so much with my PMDD symtoms as well as gallbladder symptoms and notice a difference when I miss doses.

Do I need to stop taking this for awhile when I do my DUTCH test? Would this skew the results? I can stop taking if needed but don't want to if I don't have to."

Melissa's question comes from a desire to not waste money on functional lab testing by getting results that aren't even relevant or trustworthy. Yet, she also doesn't want her symptoms to come BACK by going off a supplement she's found SUPER helpful.

What is Melissa to do?

If you've ever been in a similar bind of wanting to do a lab test but feeling nervous about going off supplements or medications - then this episode is for you!

265// Can umbilical hernia mesh impact my gut health healing?? LIVE Coaching

Thu, 22 May 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Happy mid-May, friends!

As we finish out May, I (Allison) am finishing up my maternity leave! To help me take a break from recording new episodes, we're pulling content from our group coaching calls inside our private coaching group, the Better Belly Blueprint, to share with YOU.

Today's topic is from my client Brittany. She asked:

"I was wondering - how can having an umbilical hernia and having implanted mesh affect my progress with the course? I have been doing the leaky gut protocol and have been experiencing some pain and bloating that I didn't have prior. My mesh seems to be bothering me in the areas where I think it would be attached. I was wondering if you had any suggestions for relief? I'm also doing the liver protocol and getting ready to start the H. Pylori protocol."

This question is a GREAT example of how, even in a program that is designed to be customized to every client, there are still small little questions that can come up that are super unique and tailored to that individual - and how having access to regular coaching can make a BIG difference in your confidence and clarity around getting results!

I loved getting to chat through this question with Brittany! If you have had any surgeries or bodily injury to your body that you wonder if it could stop or limit your progress to heal - then this episode is for you!

264// Why are my Oxalates so high? LIVE Coaching

Thu, 15 May 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Happy May!

As we step into the months of April and May, I (Allison) am finishing up my maternity leave. To give me a break from podcasting, we're pulling content from our group coaching calls inside our private coaching group, the Better Belly Blueprint, to share with YOU.

Today's topic is from my client Krista. She asked:

"What are the possible causes of oxalates being that high? I had no candida or mold on my OAT and I don't feel like I overeat oxalates...

To be truthful, my true vices in everything that I have given up have oxalates - coffee, dark chocolate and a good glass of red wine. I am giving up wine this month while doing these protocols (as well as all alcohol) - which I only had 2 glasses a week. I am weaning off coffee (only had two literal sips today of half calf because I LOVE the taste) and I am really hoping I don't have to completely give up chocolate - but what do you think?"

Krista's question comes from the fact that she got testing inside our program that showed that she has elevated levels of oxalates in her body that was part of the root causes driving her symptoms. Oxalates come from a variety of places, but one place you can control them the most is in your diet.

What she REALLY wanted to know is - what foods does she actually have to give up? Is it all foods with oxalates? Is her oxalate problem really about food - or is it possibly something else?

This is a GREAT question and one that opened us up to talking about the DEEPER root causes of oxalates other than food (because oxalate sensitivity is NEVER just about food!).

If you've ever looked into a low oxalate diet, or if you're stuck on a low oxalate diet and want to know if you can EVER come off - then THIS episode is for you!

Additionally - I have a WHOLE podcast episode on oxalates you can check out - 148// The Oxalate Episode. If you're new to oxalates or want to do an even deeper dive into them, then I highly recommend checking this episode out next!

Enrollment is open now - there's no need to wait!

263// Good vs. BAD detox symptoms: What's the difference? LIVE Coaching

Thu, 08 May 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Have you ever started a new supplement, and had your symptom not get better but WORSE?

Were you confused by this, and wondered if you should keep taking the supplement or stop altogether?

If you said yes to either of these questions, then this episode is for you!

On today's episode, we're sharing an audio from one our private, group coaching calls for members of my program, the Better Belly Blueprint. On this coaching question, I'm coaching my client Barbara about a rash on a neck she had suddenly return upon starting a new supplement.

Based on the training inside the Better Belly Blueprint, Barbara connected that this new supplement may be creating something called a Herxheimer reaction, or a detox and die-off reaction, so she stopped the supplement.

What she WASN'T sure about was - when (if ever?) could she safely re-start the supplement?

If you've ever been in a similar place to Barbara and have wondered about if you should keep taking a supplement if it gives you symptoms and, if yes, when or how to take that supplement safely - then you DON'T want to miss out on my answer to Barbara!

P.S. ~ If you want to ask questions to me JUST LIKE THIS ONE and get MY live feedback, now you can! When you join the Better Belly Blueprint and add on 3-months of group coaching for our SUPER affordable price, you get access to live, bi-weekly group coaching calls just like this one AND unlimited, daily, 1:1 coaching inside our private FB group!

262// How do I know if my candida is gone? LIVE coaching

Thu, 01 May 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Have you ever done a protocol, and wondered if it was making any difference?

Or even more specifically - have you ever done a candida protocol and wondered if it worked, or if you needed to do it again?

If you said "yes" to any of these questions, then you are just like my client Elizabeth!

In today's episode, I'm sharing a question from one of our group coaching calls inside my private coaching group, the Better Belly Blueprint, to share with YOU.

Today's topic on candida is from my client Elizabeth. She asks:

"How do I know when my candida is gone? As a reminder, I'm re-doing my candida protocol on week 4. (Update: I got diarrhea with the candida treatment the first round, but I don't now!). I do continue to get bloating after I eat any meal.

Should I re-test for candida after I finish my protocol? I just want to know what exactly is causing the bloating and why it isn't gone yet!"

What she REALLY wanted to know is - why is her bloating still here? And how can she know if the candida is gone if she still has that particular symptom?

It can TOTALLY be rough going through a protocol and seeing improvement in some symptoms, but not in others (especially one(s) that you care about the most!). So if you've ever had anxiety around this question before, you DON'T want to miss my answer to Elizabeth!

P.S. ~ If you want to ask questions to me JUST LIKE THIS ONE and get my live feedback, now you can! When you join the Better Belly Blueprint and add on 3-months of group coaching for our SUPER affordable price, you get access to live, bi-weekly group coaching calls just like this one AND unlimited, daily, 1:1 coaching inside our private FB group!

261// My HTMA re-test changed a lot! How do I interpret it? LIVE Coaching

Thu, 24 Apr 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Happy April!

As we step into the months of April and May, I (Allison) am on maternity leave. To celebrate this, we're pulling content from our group coaching calls inside our private coaching group, the Better Belly Blueprint, to share with YOU.

Today's topic is from my client Lynne. She asked:

"I have received my results from my 2nd HTMA test, and I'm not sure how to interpret it. I have rewatched the HTMA analysis video, but still not confident I know what changes to make to my protocols (if any). Can you help confirm if I'm understanding this correctly?"

Lynne's question comes from the powerful fact that inside our program, the Better Belly Blueprint, we teach YOU how to be your own best healer through lab interpretation and analysis - saving you time and money AND giving you the power to understand your own body's areas that need to heal.

What Lynne REALLY wanted to know is - can I help her be confident that she's understanding her new lab re-test correctly before she moves forward with her plan?

So cool!

How much would YOU like to get support, just like this, to feel 100% confident you're moving in the right direction in your healing? A lot, right! And Lynne got ALL this for 3 months of coaching for just one, low fee (that usually is the cost of ONE appointment with a functional health practitioner!).

If you want to ask questions to me JUST LIKE THIS ONE and get my live feedback just like Lynne did - now you can! When you join the Better Belly Blueprint and add on group coaching for our SUPER affordable price, you get access to live, bi-weekly group coaching calls just like this one AND unlimited, daily, 1:1 coaching inside our private FB group!

260// Would hiring a nutritionist help me heal my gut faster? LIVE Coaching

Thu, 17 Apr 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Have you ever found yourself wondering if you needed to hire just ONE MORE coach to finally heal your gut?

Have you ever felt that maybe your diet was the reason why you weren't getting better, but you weren't sure what to do or how to change it?

Or - have you ever felt overwhelmed by all the recommendations online on how to use nutrition to heal your gut and you think maybe you should just hire someone to tell you EXACTLY what to do?

If you said "yes" to any of these questions, then you are just like my client Krista!

In today's episode, I'm sharing a question from one of our group coaching calls inside my private coaching group, the Better Belly Blueprint, to share with YOU.

Today's topic is from my client Krista. She asked:

"I was just curious if you think I need someone to help me with meal planning.

I am so type A that everything I hear about health and wellness I take to the T and then I am constantly worrying about my protein (eating good fat, but not too much; not avoiding carbs - eating more veggies, choosing the fiber rich carbs). All of this is good, but I feel like I over-stress about it so much that I don't even listen to my body and how it feels!

In your opinion, what do I really need to dial in as far as nutrition while I am trying to heal my gut?"

Krista's question comes on the heels of having made some great improvements in her health and symptoms such as having more energy in afternoon, being able to function perfectly with NO coffee/caffeine, bloating being down, distention is 50% better, and being able to fall asleep MUCH faster through the night.

What she REALLY wanted to know is - would hiring a nutritionist heal her heal her gut faster?

This is a SUPER common question I get ask, and I'm so excited to share my real answer with you today!

Enrollment is open now - there's no need to wait!

259// How can I safely add in new protocols with acid reflux? LIVE Coaching

Thu, 10 Apr 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Do you struggle with acid reflux?

Are you looking for a natural acid reflux remedy or acid reflux home treatment, but you're nervous about how to safely integrate the protocols recommended?

Are you looking for acid reflux relief, but are discouraged by how little other acid reflux treatments have worked?

If you said yes to ANY of these, then this episode is for you!

Today's topic is from my client Don, and it's ALL about acid reflux!

He shared:

"I've had some incredible improvements since starting the Better Belly Blueprint!

I've lost 25 pounds since the end of November without being hungry.
I sleep so much better - without waking anytime between 2-4 am!
Stools are now mostly firm and normal (I'm so thankful!)
Liver enzyme AST has fallen from 40 to 32 per latest test.
Likewise, ALT has fallen from 66 to 51.
Modest increase in Alkaline Phosphatase from 46 to 48.

But - I'm struggling to integrate the stomach acid protocol, and I'm discouraged because I'm still getting acid reflux and being woken up in the early morning by abdominal pain. I'm not certain how to tell when I can / should layer on the other protocols when I'm progressing so slowly with the first few! Can you give me any advice?"

Don's question is a SUPER common situation many people find themselves in as they're trying to heal! You see some progress in protocols and symptom improvement, but you feel like you're getting stuck or slowing down in certain protocols - plus some symptoms aren't seeming to budge at all!

What can Don do? Is he stuck forever?

Short answer - no!

But for the long answer - be sure to tune into today's episode!

Enrollment is open now and through my maternity leave - there's no need to wait!

Are you ready to hear my answer to Don?

258// Can a food sensitivity go away? LIVE Coaching

Thu, 03 Apr 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Happy April!

Today's topic is from my client Elizabeth. She asked:

"Is it possible that some food sensitivities are caused because of mold exposure? If so, after doing mold detox - is it possible for gluten and dairy sensitivities to go away?"

Elizabeth's question comes from the fact that she got toxic mold testing inside our program that showed that she has mold colonization in her body that was part of the root causes driving her symptoms. She also got advanced food sensitivity testing showing foods she was temporarily sensitive to and foods she was permanently sensitive to. (For more information on this food sensitivity test - be sure to subscribe to hear our podcast episode on this coming out in June!)

Gluten and dairy technically were on her permanent food sensitivity list, so what Elizabeth REALLY wanted to know is - can any of her permanent food sensitivities ever go away?

This is a SUPER common question I get ask, and I'm so excited to share my real answer with you today!

P.S. ~ If you want to ask questions to me JUST LIKE THIS ONE and get my live feedback, now you can!

257// 10 Lessons from My 10-Year Anniversary of My IBS Diagnosis

Thu, 27 Mar 2025 07:00:00 -0400

After 10 years, I no longer have an IBS diagnosis or any correlating symptoms. Learn my top 10 lessons I learned in 10 years of healing.

---

10 years ago, in the spring of 2015, my own, personal sickness journey began with unexplained and sudden nighttime insomnia.

At the time, I had NO idea that this seemingly small but annoying symptom was the beginning of a massive decline in my health that would not be slowed or corrected no matter what advice I followed, who I talked to, or how much money I spent.

Now - 10 years later - I have NONE of the original symptoms or diagnosis of IBS, insomnia, or constipation that I started with in 2015. And not only that, but my entire life is changed. My career is changed, my lifestyle is changed, and my mental and physical health is better than it had been my entire childhood.

So, to celebrate my 10 year anniversary of becoming (and undoing) being sick, I've gathered my Top 10 Lessons from 10 years of struggling, succeeding, and failing my way through IBS and into complete, whole body healing.

Whether you're in the beginning of your own healing journey or have been in this journey for 5, 10, 20, or 30+ years, I hope these 10 lessons bring you hope, insight, tears, and catharsis of how healing is not a straightforward journey, but if you keep honest and true to your values and needs, you WILL find the healing you're looking for.

256// Why Nervous System Regulation Isn’t Healing You and Why "Flow" Can, with Dr. Julia Colangelo

Thu, 20 Mar 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Do you struggle with feeling like you're stuck in chronic fight or flight?

Do you have chronic health issues, and you've heard that your gut health may be linked to your nervous system dysregulation (and vice versa), but you don't know where to start or what will actually work to heal your nervous system?

Do you worry that trauma may be behind your chronic illness or chronic health issues, but despite trying dozens of mind body therapies or exercises, you feel like you've made little to no progress in healing your nervous system?

If you said yes to any of these questions, then this episode is for you.

On today's episode, we're continuing Part 3 of our Brain-Gut Axis Series with Dr. Julia Colangelo, a professor of mindfulness at Columbia University, and a fellow traveler on thid mind-body healing journey.

Today, Dr. Julia is going to reveal some AMAZING tips and rarely-talked-about information on WHY trying to regulate your nervous system hasn't created the change or healing you've been looking for - and maybe has even added stress or confusion to your healing journey.

Dr. Julia Colangelo is an award-winning educator, speaker, and research on flow - a state of mindfulness that is different than just meditating, and doesn't require you to feel peaceful at all times. As an educator and flow researcher, Julia advises and coaches visionaries, global leaders, public figures, and celebrities. Julia lives on Maui with her little family, and travels globally to speak and consult on mindfulness, flow, creativity, and nervous system regulation and expansion.

Dr. Julia trains at companies like LinkedIn, Convene, and more. Her work has been featured in Glamour Magazine, The Washington Post, & The Huffington Post. Julia hosts private retreats, events and coaching experiences that are innovative, fun, and integrate flow strategies and self-awareness exercises for sustainable creativity and alignment personally and professionally.

Dr. Julia launched The Flow Brain which teaches nervous system regulation to enter a flow state through nature and neuroscience and encourages a transformative approach to self-healing by entering sustainable flow states.

If you've been frustrated with finding the same advice on nervous system regulation online, if you feel like all your problems are in your nervous system (but you can't figure out how to unlock it from it's state of fight and flight), or if you've avoided the topic of nervous system regulation because of feelings of shame or overwhelm around it - then I hope that listening to Dr. Julia today is a breath of FRESH air that breaths into your soul and unlocks new growth and feelings of freedom for you - in both your mind and body.

255// How to Rewire Your Mind for Better Gut-Brain Axis Health, with Sophie Shepherd, FDN-P, NLP

Thu, 13 Mar 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Is your mind limiting your ability to heal your gut? Learn how to gently rewire your mind-body connection and heal your gut-brain axis.

Have you ever heard that your mind can effect the health of your body, but you haven't known what to do about it to heal?

Or - have you tried specific mind-body exercises to try and heal your body (or mind!), and have felt you haven't gotten full results from it?

Are you discouraged with the state of your health, and feel that your mind or nervous system regulation may be part of what's blocking you from healing, but it feels overwhelming to even start to think about how to regulate your nervous system?

If you said yes to ANY of these questions, then this episode is for you!

In today's episode, we're continuing with part 2 of our Gut-Brain Axis series with my friend, colleague, and expert NeuroLinguistic Practitioner, Sophie Shepherd.

Sophie Shepherd is the founder of SHE Talks Health & the creator of the SHE Talks Health Podcast. Sophie is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and NLP Certified Life Coach who helps women optimize their thyroid so they can have incredible energy, fit in their clothes, and feel at home in their body again using the Thriving Thyroid Method. Using a combination of root cause functional lab testing, subconscious mindset work, and diet and lifestyle science, Sophie and her team partner with you to create a holistic approach to bringing your body and mind back into balance. Her mission is to revolutionize the way women reclaim their health and slay old stories of being in sick bodies.

Today, Sophie is going to break down what NeuroLinguistic Programing is (or NLP) and how you can use it to gently and effectively start to rewire your mind so you can heal your gut-brain axis and improve your overall health.

Whether you are totally new to NLP or you're a pro, I hope this episode encourages you, guides you, and gives you hope for how you CAN heal your body - and how you can harness your mind to help you do so faster and more effectively than ever.

254// Why Healing Your Nervous System Isn’t Working: The Truth About the Gut-Brain Axis

Thu, 06 Mar 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Got chronic fight and flight or gut health issues? Learn why the gut-brain axis may be your key to healing - and why common advice isn't working.

---

Do you struggle with feeling like you're stuck in chronic fight or flight?

Do you have chronic health issues, and have you ever heard that your gut health may be linked to your nervous system dysregulation, but you don't know where to start or what will actually work to heal your nervous system?

If you said yes to any of these questions, then this episode is for you.

On today's episode, we're exploring the popular topic of the Brain-Gut Axis and WHY trying to support your brain gut axis hasn't created the change or healing you've been looking for - and maybe has even added stress or confusion to your healing journey.

Not only this, but for the next 3 episodes, we'll be exploring NEW ways you can support your gut brain connection and mind body connection through interviews with 3 guest experts who specialize in the mind body connection from the perspective of psychology, and how to ACTUAL regulate your nervous system - in a way that is totally different than what is being shared in pop culture right now.

We'll be tackling everything from:

Is the vagus nerve really behind your mind-body connection?
Why vagus nerve activation techniques aren't really getting to the root cause of your nervous system dysregulation
Your REAL nervous system anatomy
Why having a perfectly regulated nervous system isn't the actual goal in healing your mind-body connection
And how to regulate your nervous system out of fight and flight when nothing else has worked

If you've been struggling with bloating, constipation, IBS, leaky gut, or chronic illness and feel that your brain or nervous system may be driving your chronic health issues, then be sure to catch every episode this March. Because today, we are beginning the first episode in our Brain-Gut Series.

253// Is colon hydrotherapy good for you? What is colonics therapy?

Thu, 27 Feb 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Several months ago, a student inside the Better Belly Blueprint posted this question into our private, group coaching forum:

"I’m really curious what you think about colonics. I’ve seen so much hype around them for people who are trying to overcome constipation, and I’d imagine they’re obviously not a cute, but wondering whether they’re ever helpful or even recommended?"

I liked this question so much that I saved it so I can share my answer here on the Better Belly Podcast.

On today's episode, we'll be covering topics like:

What is colon hydrotherapy?
How do colonics work?
Can colonics compliment other natural constipation relief treatments you're doing?
What natural constipation remedies I MOST recommend for complete & lasting constipation relief

Whether you're new to the constipation journey or been on it for decades, I hope this episode empowers you to get one step closer to complete constipation freedom.

Thu, 06 Feb 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Last fall, I did a 7-part series on the 7 pathogens I see most often causing my client's symptoms. And within weeks of finishing that series, I got an email from someone asking if I had an episode on Epstein Barr Virus.

Common Epstein Barr Virus symptoms
Should you get Epstein Barr Virus testing?
Why Epstein Barr Virus treatments fail
What EBV treatment to do instead
What you MUST consider if you think you have an Epstein Barr Virus reactivation
...and SO MUCH MORE!

249// How She Beat Her Bloat, Constipation, and Acid Reflux in One Month 😱 [Testimonial - Jamie]

Thu, 30 Jan 2025 07:00:00 -0400

When I first met Jamie, she had been dealing with gut health issues, as of a mom of 2, since high school.

She'd spent all of her developing years searching for a solution to her bloating, constipation, and acid reflux - only to get answers from doctors that never worked OR made her feel worse. Suggestions like drink more water, eat fiber, take probiotics, or use laxatives either didn't work or made her feel WORSE.

Enter: the Better Belly Blueprint.

After a cruise that made her feeling worse than ever, Jamie stumbled across the Better Belly Podcast (this podcast!) and our proven solution to all gut health issues: the Better Belly Blueprint.

After just ONE MONTH following her personalized protocols she built in the program using our protocol templates and her unique lab results, Jamie was having daily bowel movements and NO bloat - for the first time in decades!!

Now, Jamie is joining us on the podcast to share her story of how taking a step of faith in one more solution for her gut not only helped her while in the program, but has created sustained change in her - even a year after finishing the program.

If you're a little like Jamie and have been dealing with gut health issues for years, or even decades, and are tired of the same bloat, constipation, and acid reflux recommendations that don't work - then this episode is for you.

Tune in to learn exactly how Jamie found natural constipation relief for her bloated belly - and why this solution could be for you, too.

248// How to Have a Strong Legal Case Against Toxic Mold, with Lawyer Kristina Baehr

Thu, 23 Jan 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Have you ever wondered if you could get legal compensation for your exposure to toxic mold?

Do you feel like your toxic mold exposure situation might be due to the negligence of another party, but don't know any lawyers willing to represent you in your mold case?

If you said yes to either of these, then you don't want to miss today's episode!

Wrapping up our recent mini-series on mold, today I am so excited to introduce to you lawyer and founder of JustWell Law - Kristina Baehr.

Kristina is a national trial lawyer who represents sick people against the companies that made them sick. She founded her law firm, Just Well Law, to help clients recover financially so that they can rebuild their health and their lives.

Kristina is used to high profile, high stakes litigation. At a national trial firm, she represented plaintiffs in bet-the-company cases like Trilogy against SAP, the Medical University of South Carolina against AstraZeneca, Ericsson against Samsung, and TiVo against Comcast. These cases resulted in over $1 billion in revenue for their clients. And from 2015-2019, she was honored by her peers as a Texas Rising Star among lawyers.

After tragedy hit her own family, she founded Just Well Law to help other families in crisis. She built the personal injury firm she couldn’t find for her own family. Health and wellness require financial resources, and Kristina is relentless in pursuing the maximum recovery for her clients because she has been there too.

If you've been wracking your brain wondering how or if you could ever get legal representation around your toxic mold exposure - then this episode is for you!

247// The NASA Air Filter that Helped this Engineer Save His Wife from Toxic Mold, with Edward Branham

Thu, 16 Jan 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Following up on the last 2 episodes, I am continuing on with our mini-series here on air filters and toxic mold.

On today's episode, I'm interviewing Edward Brahnam. Edward Brahnam is a product research and development executive in a Fortune 100 company. For the past six years, he has been focused on the biology, chemistry, and physics of how to remove harmful contaminants from the air in a consumer & indoor setting. Together with his wife, Lynne, they have started their own company, Optimal Indoor Air, to apply what they've learned about healthy air quality to help those in critical IAQ situations - including those suffering from mold toxicity.

As Edward and his wife, Lynne, navigated the messy and uncharted path to healing Lynne from mold, they discovered one tool that has become indispensable for them: the Hi-Tech Air Reactor.

With a background in legal and a keen nose for sniffing out false claims and bad science, Lynne and her scientist-engineer husband Edward are breaking down the science behind and legitimacy of the Hi-Tech Air Reactor.

Whether you've been with us for the past 2 episodes learning more about Hi-Tech Air Reactor and it's life-changing power against mold, or you're simply doing more research on the best air filter for mold, get ready. On today's episode, we're diving into all things science behind what I'm calling the best air filter for mold - the Hi-Tech Air Reactor

I hope you love this episode as MUCH as I did and that, if you're a science-nerd like me, that the information Edward brings today fascinates and encourages you as you seek to better understand how to heal from mold.

246// How This Air Filter STOPPED Her Toxic Mold Symptoms from Escalating, with Lynne Furtado

Thu, 09 Jan 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Following up on last week's episode, I am continuing on with our mini-series here on air filters and toxic mold.

On today's episode, I'm interviewing Lynne Furtado. Lynne Furtado is a former Fortune 100 Executive whose own path through a moldy home and the aftermath led her to focusing on helping others on their own path through dealing with mold.

As she and her husband Edward navigated the messy and uncharted path to healing from mold, they discovered one tool that has become indispensable for them: the Hi-Tech Air Reactor.

But before we dig TOO much into the science, Lynne will be sharing today her personal story with mold and how, after decades of dealing with chronic illness (much of which she now reflects was likely driven by mold), this one product, the Hi-Tech Air Reactor, changed her life.

I hope you love this episode as MUCH as I did, as you get to hear another wonderful success story of fighting mold and, hopefully, get some actionable tidbits for you to use yourself as you try to navigate and heal as quickly as possible from mold illness.

245// The Best Air Filter for Mold: HEPA Filters (like AirDoctor) vs. Hi-Tech Air Reactor

Thu, 02 Jan 2025 07:00:00 -0400

What is the best air filter for mold? Find out in this comparison of traditional HEPA filters like AirDoctor vs. the new Hi-Tech Air Reactor.

---

One of their FIRST questions I get asked every single time a client finds out that mold is one of their root causes to their health problems is:

"What can I do immediately, right now, about mold?"

Right after this question, they also ask: "Is there an air filter you recommend?"

For a long time, my answer was "no." The main issue with MOST air filters you get is that, if put into a moldy environment, that air filter ITSELF becomes mold-sick.

This is because air filters, by definition, capture particulates that go across their filter. This is fine, and good, if you're dealing with particulates like fur, dander, and basic dust, but if you are picking up mold spores or mycotoxins, you now have a machine that is seeded with the beginnings of a new mold colony, and the machine becomes compromised. It now is a mold-spreader.

In the last few months, however, I have researched and personally tested a NEW air filter solution that not only CANNOT get sick from mold - it also breaks mold spores and mycotoxins down so they no longer can harm you.

In today's episode, I'll be introducing you to the Hi-Tech Air Reactor and sharing the best and worst on this new air filter solution. I'll also be talking about traditional HEPA air filters, if or when they are useful, and when and how air filters like AirDoctor and Molekule ARE helpful and warranted on your healing journey from mold.

It's time to take control of your indoor air quality and heal from mold.

244// Is Copper Toxicity Behind Your Histamine Intolerance?

Thu, 26 Dec 2024 07:00:00 -0400

Do you have anxiety that you just can't quit?

Do you have bloating, nausea, acid reflux, or constipation that you can't get rid of, no matter how you change your diet or how many parasite cleanses you do?

Or - are you struggling with PMS, infertility, miscarriage, or low libido?

If you said yes to ANY of these, you MAY be dealing with something that few people talk about: hidden copper toxicity.

Following up on our histamine episode release last week, I want to share one of my favorite podcast episodes I've ever recorded on copper toxicity. I first recorded this particular podcast episode on with my friend and colleague Bekah Yawn on her podcast, For the Love of Hormones. I loved it so much, that I asked Bekah if I could re-release the episode on the Better Belly Podcast, and she said yes!

Copper toxicity has a HUGE role in histamine creation and metabolization. It's one of the MOST common but overlooked root causes to histamine intolerance.

In today's episode, learn the KEY facts around copper toxicity including:

Common copper toxicity symptoms
The role of copper toxicity in histamine intolerance
Top sources of exposure to toxic copper
How to know if you have hidden copper toxicity
How to detox copper safely and effectively

Whether or not you think or know you have histamine intolerance, if you have ANY of the symptoms of copper toxicity and haven't found healing yet, your breakthrough may be just around the corner in healing from copper toxicity.

TIMESTAMPS:

00:00 - Introduction to Hidden Copper Toxicity

00:29 - Understanding Copper Toxicity

02:49 - Sources and Symptoms of Copper Toxicity

243// Histamine Intolerance Symptoms, Why a Low Histamine Diet Can't Heal You, and 6 Root Causes to Histamine Intolerance

Thu, 19 Dec 2024 07:00:00 -0400

Learn the wide range of histamine intolerance symptoms, why the low histamine diet isn't enough, and the 6 root causes to high histamine.

---

Histamine Intolerance is one of the most misunderstood, poorly treated chronic illness issues out there.

Most commonly, it is oversimplified as simply an issue that can be resolved by diet control. Unfortunately, the low histamine diet does not heal histamine intolerance at all, but merely masks the issue through symptom managmenet.

Can a low histamine diet reduce histamine symptoms? Yes.

Can you ever get off of the low histamine diet through doing the diet alone? No. The low histamine diet does NOT heal your sensitivity to histamine (which is actually possible). It merely enslave you to your histamine intolerance.

That's why, on today's episode, I'm diving into how to ACTUAL heal from histamine intolerance.

On today's episode, I'll be talking through the A's to Z's of histamine intolerance, including:

What histamine is
Symptoms of Histamine Intolerance
And my histamine intolerance treatment to naturally and COMPLETELY heal you from your histamine sensitivity so you can eat high histamine foods again AND have no histamine symptoms - ever

If you're ready to determine if histamine is ruling YOUR life or end the cycle of slavery to histamine, then this episode is for you.

242// How He Ended 40+ Years of Diarrhea, Stomach Pain, Bloating, Acid Reflux and Insomnia [Don Testimonial]

Thu, 12 Dec 2024 07:00:00 -0400

When I first met Don, Don had been dealing with diarrhea, stomach pain, bloating, acid reflux, fatigue, and insomnia for over 40 years!

The depth and intensity of his symptoms cannot be exaggerated. Before our first conversation together, Don wrote to me that his stomach pain and explosive diarrhea was sometimes so bad that he'd pass out in the bathroom, only to wake up on the floor sweating and weak, then sleep on the floor near the bathroom just out of fatigue.

His goal in working together through our Better Belly Blueprint program was to be able to travel. As a recent retiree and grandfather, Don's ONLY goal was to be able to finally participate in vacations and travel with his family, and new grandchildren, like he hadn't been able to do throughout his 20's, 30's, 40's, and 50's.

On today's episode, you're in for a treat. As a graduate of the Better Belly Blueprint program, Don has agreed to come onto the podcast share his rags-to-riches version of healing his body through the Better Belly Blueprint - even when nothing had worked and dozens of the best GI doctors in the country had failed to help him.

Whether or not your symptoms are EXACTLY the same type or intensity of Don's, I hope you find encouragement and hope from today's episode. Because if Don can heal after 40 years of medications, pain, and being told by GI doctors that there was nothing he could do - then you can, too!

241// Got Gallstones? Symptoms of Gallbladder Disease and How to Naturally Treat Gallstones and Avoid Gallbladder Surgery

Thu, 05 Dec 2024 07:00:00 -0400

Over the last few months, I have gotten a very sudden onset of questions in my inbox and DM's about gallbladder issues.

Very quickly, I realized - I had NO podcast episodes about the gallbladder!

Therefore, today's episode is here to rectify this issue and dive DEEP into all things gallbladder.

On today's episode, we're going to talk the A to Z's of gallbladder including:

What gallbladder disease is
How you get it
What gallbladder symptoms are
What gallstones are
What causes gallbladder pain and gallbladder attacks
If you can have gallbladder disease without gallbladder pain
If and when you need to get a gallbladder taken out
How to naturally treat gallstones (without gallbladder surgery!)
If gallbladder cleanses are safe (and if yes, when to do them)
And if you already have your gallbladder removed, if you can still eat fat again, and heal to be even HEALTHIER than you were before your gallbladder

We're going to cover all these topics and MORE - because after over 6 years of working with over 600 clients with a range of gallbladder health (or gallbladder removal), I've NEVER seen a gallbladder situation that cannot be massively improved. And today, I want to teach you how you can have the best and healthiest gallbladder - whether or not you even have one.

It's time to feel empowered around your gallbladder.

240// 10 Encouraging Quotes from Songs for Strength in Sickness

Thu, 28 Nov 2024 07:00:00 -0400

Struggling feeling tired, defeated, or overwhelmed in your health? Here are 10 encouraging quotes and songs for strength in sickness.

----

Struggling feeling tired, defeated, or overwhelmed in your health?

Do you ever feel paralyzed in your health, sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, with no energy to even figure out how to get your energy back?

If you said yes, then this episode is for you.

In today's episode, I'm sharing 10 encouraging quotes from songs to give you strength in sickness.

These are songs that I've PERSONALLY play for myself during trying times. Some of these songs I've been listening to for 10 years (since getting sick in 2015). Some are new and encouraging me this year.

I hope that these songs encourage you, lift you up, and give you space to grieve. Because there can be a LOT of feels on the journey to healing, but it's through simple things like songs and music that we can find strength to keep going and find that happy ending we're looking for.

Thu, 07 Nov 2024 07:00:00 -0400

Have you ever been diagnosed with IBS-C, IBS-D, or IBS-M?

Do you have severe constipation, but no diet change, supplements, or doctor visits have helped?

Do you have anxiety, fatigue, or weight gain - despite doing lots of things to manage all 3?

Do you flip between constipated and getting diarrhea, and have no idea how to stop the cycle?

Or - do you have unexplained diarrhea that diet changes and supplements haven't helped?

236// The Parasites Episode: Parasite Symptoms, Parasite Tests, and Why Parasite Cleanses Fail

Thu, 31 Oct 2024 07:00:00 -0400

Have you been diagnosed with IBS, but no diet change, supplements, or doctor recommendations have resolved your symptoms?

Do you have no diagnosis, but have been plagued by symptoms like bloating, constipation, diarrhea, acid reflux, insomnia, weight gain / loss, or anemia no matter what you've tried?

Do you feel like you eat healthier than your friends, but you still struggle with fatigue, discomfort after eating, and just not feeling your best?

If you said yes to any of these, then this episode is for you.

On todays episode, I'll be continuing with week 4 of our 7 pathogen series by talking about parasites! I'll be sharing things like: common parasite symptoms, why you might have a parasite, why you haven't been tested for you, the best parasite test to do, and why a parasite cleanse or treatment might not have resolved your symptoms (hint: it has nothing to do with the parasite).

Parasites are one of the most common cause of IBS, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, etc. that I've seen in my clinic over the last 6 years and 600 clients. And on today's episode, I'm going to debunk every single parasite myth I can think of, because the #1 reason that clients who work with me AREN'T feeling better is because of a failure to find a pathogen, treat it successfully, or help the body fully recover from the damage the pathogen created.

In part 4 of this series, I'm going to point you to the FASTEST way to heal, not only from parasites, but from EVERYTHING causing your symptoms. Because NO pathogen needs to be ruling your life.

It's time to feel your best, have energy, and get back to your life.

It's time to kill some parasites.

233// The H. Pylori Episode: Symptoms of H. Pylori, How to Test for H. Pylori, and Why H. Pylori Treatments Fail

Thu, 10 Oct 2024 07:00:00 -0400

Yesterday, my husband sent me a text.

"Do you have a podcast episode on H. Pylori?"

"I do," I texted back. "Sort of. But it's inside of episodes that are symptom focused. Not pathogen. Why do you ask?"

He'd heard someone in our church share that they had H. Pylori, and they were worried about it and wanted prayer. My husband hear's me talk about EVERYTHING health related, and he KNEW that I talked a lot about H. Pylori. But what I was sad to find was that even though I have multiple episodes on acid reflux, a key symptom of H. Pylori, I had NO episodes on H. Pylori specifically.

Thus, this new series was born.

Over the next 7 weeks, I will go over the 7 key pathogens that are causing 99% of the symptoms in my clients over the last 6 years (over 600 clients!). I am going to go, episode by episode, over:

What each pathogen is
Where it lives in the body
Common symptoms associated with that pathogen
Less-common symptoms that can happen because of them

232// The Salt Episode: Is Sodium Deficiency Causing Your Bloating, Constipation, Low Blood Pressure, High Blood Pressure, or Night-time Urination?

Thu, 03 Oct 2024 07:00:00 -0400

Can you really have too LITTLE salt? Learn why bloating and constipation be caused by a sodium deficiency, and exactly how to fix it.

99.9% of clients have a sodium deficiency when they join my program.

Sodium deficiency can be linked to bloating, constipation, dizziness, fatigue, nighttime urination, low blood pressure, AND high blood pressure. And for many of my clients, none of these symptoms improve UNTIL they address their sodium problem.

Given this, why aren't more people talking about sodium deficiency?

In today's episode, I am diving into the fallacies and myths around sodium and how "bad" it is for you and I'm replacing it with EXACTLY what you need to do to determine if you have a sodium deficiency, and if so, what to do about it.

230// My Top 3 Tips to Accurately Estimate How Much It Will Cost You to Heal

Thu, 19 Sep 2024 07:00:00 -0400

In your process of healing, have you found yourself saying, "This is too expensive for me"?

Have you had to say "no" to or delay buying a life-changing lab, supplement protocol, or program because of not being able to afford it?

Are you annoyed or overwhelmed with how much the cost of healing is?

If so, then this episode is for you.

The cost of healing is one of the most COMMON reasons I'm told by someone that they can't heal, so this month on the Better Belly Podcast, I'm dedicating every episode to tips and hacks for how to make healing for affordable.

On today's episode, I'm sharing my top 3 tips to accurately estimate how much it will cost you to heal.

This is a SUPER powerful skill because, like with all things, being able to anticipate the cost can help us prepare for it - whether it is buying a house, paying for college, or saving up for a new oven, knowing that general price range can help you to save and mentally prepare for the cost so that, once it comes, you CAN pay for it.

WITHOUT being able to accurately estimate how much it will cost you to heal, you end up over and over again with surprise bills and being not financially prepared to pay for what you want or need to pay for in your health. And this results in a cycle of never being able to pay for anything.

If you feel like you're drowning in health expenses, or you don't know what costs are good deals or not, then this episode is for you.

P.S. For even more tips and tricks for how to make your health more affordable, check out the shownotes where I've included previous episodes to guide you further in your healing journey.

229// Health Insurance Hack: Use This Health Insurance to Cover ALL Functional Medicine Appointments and Labs 😱

Thu, 12 Sep 2024 07:00:00 -0400

Learn how I paid only $400 for $1500+ in Functional Medicine doctor appointments and labs using THIS health insurance hack 🤑

---

Are you SICK of health insurance not covering the care you want to get to heal yourself?

Are you TIRED of shopping around for a doctor who understands your condition, only to learn that they're out of network with your insurance and almost entirely out-of-pocket expense?

Do you WISH that it was easier to find and pay for a holistic doctor who could actually heal you?

If so, then this episode is for you.

Since starting the Better Belly Podcast in 2020, I've been trying to accrue a list of the BEST tips to make your healthcare more affordable while still getting the quality you want, with care from doctors that you want.

I've shared multiple episodes like episode 181// How to Make Health More Affordable with Katherine Pomerantz and an episode with my dad, a surgeon, breaking down why health insurance works the way it does and How to Get the MOST Out of Your Health Insurance in 2024.

But today, I'm doing something I've NEVER done before: sharing the EXACT numbers me + my family have paid for our health insurance at different stages, and how we get ALL of our functional medicine appointments and labs covered by health insurance.

This is a bombshell health insurance hack that health insurance companies DO NOT want you to know about, because you will NO LONGER have to rely on them.

If you are SICK AND TIRED of health insurance, hidden fees, and over-the-top costs of healing - then this episode is for you.

228// My Top 5 Best and Worst Health Investments (Relaunch)

Thu, 05 Sep 2024 07:00:00 -0400

One of most common reasons I have clients tell me that haven't healed or can't move forward in healing is because of money issues. Not enough money, not knowing where to invest their money they do have, or having wounds from previous investments that wasted money and just not wanting to repeat that again.

At least one time a year, I like to devote a few episodes to having an open conversation around money and health. My goal is to help you feel less alone in this conversation because, whether we like it or not, money IS a part of the health conversation. And my OTHER main goal is to actually give you practical tips and tricks for how to reduce the cost of healing and generally be better able to afford the healing you ultimately need.

This September, I'm covering 4 main topics:

My Top 5 Best and Worst Health Investments
My Top Tips for How to Accurately Estimate the Cost of Healing
My BEST Insurance Hack to Get Insurance to Cover Functional Medicine Every Single Time
15 Creative Ideas to Increase Cashflow and Fund Your Healing

Today, I'm starting this series with sharing some of my biggest financial flops and wins in my pursuit of healing to encourage you, hopefully make you laugh, and prepare you for the rest of this month where I share how I went from my 5 worst investments to regularly saving the MOST amount of money possible on my health and my family's health every single year.

If you have shame around failed healing investments or if you've been trying to heal and money issues have been holding you back, then this episode is for you!

227// Mold Success Story: How He Healed His Family from Toxic Mold Illness (ft. Matt Kelly, FP)

Thu, 29 Aug 2024 07:00:00 -0400

Hear this toxic mold success story about how Matt completely healed his family from mold - even when ALL doctors had failed them.

---

In 2018, Matt and his wife Amy were woken up in the middle of the night by their son writhing with abdominal pain. Western medicine said he was a healthy young man and had no answers.

Matt eventually connected a moldy window in his sons room to his symptoms and started studying mold around the clock.

On today's episode, I'm having special guest Matt Kelly, Functional Health Practitioner, onto the Better Belly Podcast to come and personally tell the story of his and his families journey through MCAS, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), mold, and Lyme disease, getting no answers from conventional medicine, finding mold was at the center of it all, and popping out on the other side with, dare I say it, a happy ending.

I've personally had the honor to get to know Matt through a variety of connections. He's mentored me through some of my very first clients with Lyme disease, and I've gotten to absorb his wisdom and passion for healing clients from mold just by being in his amazing Toxic Mold Answers FB Group, which has EXPLODED in the number of people it serves over the last few years.

I am SO excited to introduce you to Matt and his and his family's incredible story of struggle, defeat, and triumph.

If you've been discouraged in your journey to heal your body from mold, Lyme, or if you don't even know what is making you sick, then it's time to dive into this story of hope about how one family escaped from mold and Lyme - and how you can, too.

226// The Mold-Lyme Connection: How to Treat Mold Toxicity and Lyme Disease Together

Tue, 27 Aug 2024 07:00:00 -0400

Mold toxicity and Lyme disease often come together. Why? And if you have both, which do you treat first? Learn this and more on this episode!

---

In the world of chronic illnesses that everyone talks about as "difficult to solve", mold and lyme are two infections that find themselves at the top of the pile.

Coincidentally, many people with Lyme disease have mold toxicity, and many people with mold toxicity have Lyme disease.

Why is this? And if you have both, which one do you deal with first?

On today's episode, I'm talking through some basics on mold toxicity and lyme disease including:

Signs that you have mold toxicity or lyme disease
A common picture of what someone looks like who has both infections
What lab testing to do to determine if you have mold toxicity and lyme disease
My treatment recommendations for mold toxicity and lyme disease
And if you have both, which do you deal with first: mold or lyme?

We're covering all this and more on today's episode!

If you've been dealing with mystery symptoms that your doctor can't fix, or if you think you have or KNOW you have mold illness or lyme disease, then THIS episode is for you.

225// My Tinnitus Journey: Mold Caused It; How I've Been Treating It

Thu, 22 Aug 2024 07:00:00 -0400

For 6 months, I had tinnitus in both my ears. Learn how I found the cause of my tinnitus + my treatment to get it to almost completely disappear.

---

This January 2024, on the first day of the new year, I suddenly developed a very loud and new symptom that I've never had before in my life: tinnitus.

As soon as it happened, I had to wrestle with a sense of extreme panic and need to know everything about WHY this was happening to me and HOW I could stop it.

I'm adding this episode on tinnitus into our August Mold Month series because (spoiler alert) my tinnitus was caused by mold exposure.

On today's episode, I'm answering questions like:

How did I know my tinnitus was from mold exposure?
What were the first steps I took as soon as I started getting a new symptom I'd never had before?
What were my emotions like, and how did I handle them as I tried to navigate through a completely new symptom I'd never dealt with before (for myself)
And what I've been doing practically since January to tackle my tinnitus and bring it into submission after having daily for almost 6 months

I want to use my experience with tinnitus as a case study to give you a picture of what it looks like, moment by moment, for a seasoned-mold-fighter to go through mold.

Because even if you've been fighting mold for years (like myself), mold (and the symptoms it causes) cause scary and big feelings inside us. But, there IS a way to make fighting mold feel less crazy, and there IS a way to move forward so that you, too, can say, "I didn't heal everything in one day. But I am SO MUCH BETTER now."

224// Mold & Emotions: 3 Tips for How to Balance Mold, Emotions, and Healing

Tue, 20 Aug 2024 07:00:00 -0400

Healing from mold is an emotional journey. Learn 3 tips for how to manage mold & emotions that come with it so you can keep moving forward!

---

We are now halfway through our Mold Month series this August, and I thought, before moving forward and giving you guy more practical advice, we'd pause and take a look at the #1 thing that I see BLOCK people from moving forward in their mold journey.

And that is...emotions.

In the episode right before this one, I broke down for you a super simple, super effective mold treatment plan that works every time. However, because of the nature of mold and inherent steps involved in healing from it, I frequently see people paralyzed in moving forward in their mold journey

In today's episode, I'm first sharing the top 4 most common emotions I see coming up for people as they face mold, and then I'm sharing my top 3 recommendations to overcome these emotions (not suppress them) to help yourself be able to continue to take steps towards healing from mold every single day.

If you think you're sick from mold or KNOW you're sick from mold but have found yourself in a stand-still in healing, then this episode is for you.

223// The 3-Step Mold Treatment Plan

Thu, 15 Aug 2024 07:00:00 -0400

Get the complete mold treatment plan to save money, remediate your home, and heal the fastest possible from toxic mold exposure!

---

Mold is one of the most complicated, multi-step treatment plans required for almost any pathogen-based illness out there. This is because mold not only requires you to heal your body but also your home and everything you own.

And - there are a LOT of pieces to treating mold.

So today, I'm taking you through my 3-step mold treatment plan that I personally use with my clients to help them heal from mold in the fastest, lowest cost way.

We're going to be covering topics like:

What tests to use to determine if you even have mold illness
How to save money finding mold and remediation mold in your home
My top recommend home mold test
How to find a qualified mold remediation company near you
How to find a mold inspector near you (and how to identify one who is not qualified)
The order of steps for how to heal your body from mold
Top mistakes to avoid when searching for mold in your home
Top mistakes to avoid when remediating mold in your home
What to do for your body BEFORE you start trying to pull mold toxins out of it
The most common mistakes I see people make when healing their body from mold

This is a MAMMOTH episode designed to be an "episode-of-episodes" for healing mold that you can come back to again-and-again for guidance and insight. My hope is that you walk away empowered and envision for exactly how you CAN and WILL heal from mold, with a clear idea of what steps to take next in your mold healing journey, and what tools and resources you need to help you heal from mold and finally feel like yourself again.

Because when it comes to mold, believing you can heal is one of the hardest, but most important, initial roadblocks to overcome.

222// The 5 Signs of Hidden Mold with Brian Karr, Certified Mold Inspector

Tue, 13 Aug 2024 07:00:00 -0400

Learn the 5 signs of mold in your home that you can see without any fancy tech or equipment! All you need is your eyes and a flashlight!

---

If you've have been in the mold conversation for a while, you know that one of the TOUGHEST parts of healing from toxic mold illness is not healing your BODY, but healing your HOME from mold.

There are two main steps to healing your home from mold: 1) find the mold, and 2) remediate the mold.

Step 2 will ALWAYS fail if step 1 is not done correctly, so to help you avoid all the most common errors in finding mold in your home, I'm bringing on my friend and certified mold inspector, Brian Karr.

Brian Karr is a second-generation indoor environmental consultant who specializes in working with hypersensitive individuals with complex medical conditions. He helps them to understand if mold, mycotoxins, or other indoor pathogens exist in their homes that may be contributing to their health conditions, and how to remedy those issues.

Brian is the Co-Founder of the nationally active mold inspection company, We Inspect, and has helped over 5,000 hypersensitive individuals worldwide to create healthier living environments that have allowed their doctors to help them get better.

On today's episode, Brian is breaking down the 5 hidden signs of mold growth that you can look for for zero dollars, using your own eyeballs! So if you hire an inspector and they miss 1 of these 5 signs in your home (or you don't see them look for these signs at all!), then it's time to say "bye-bye" to that inspector!

And - if you love this episode and want even MORE tips on how to find mold in your home in the fastest and lowest cost way, be sure to tune in to our NEXT episode releasing this week - Ep. 223// The 3 Step Mold Treatment Plan - where I'll be going over even more tips for how to find mold in your home, how to know if you need to hire a mold inspector or mold remediator, and if you do, how to find a qualified one near you.

It's time to say "yes" to being empowered around mold. Please join with me in welcoming Brian Karr to the Better Belly Podcast.

221// The Mold-Constipation Connection: How Toxic Mold Exposure Causes Constipation

Thu, 08 Aug 2024 07:00:00 -0400

Tired of needing laxatives to poop? Natural constipation remedies not working? If so, toxic mold exposure may be causing your constipation.

---

Do you feel like you have tried EVERYTHING to heal your constipation?

Do you feel like you've tried ALL the recommended solutions to heal your constipation - like fiber, magnesium, probiotics, or restricted diets - without anything working?

Does having to take laxatives regularly to poop worry you? You want a way to poop without them - but HOW?

Or - have you spent hundreds or thousands of dollars on specialized labs, supplements, and holistic practitioners - with no results to show for it?

If so, then toxic mold exposure may be causing your constipation!

Mold illness is slowly becoming more mainstream amongst functional and holistic doctors and practitioners, but it's STILL majorly overlooked and misunderstood as a potential cause of constipation.

On todays' episode, I'm sharing with you how mold clogs up your gut, slows your motility, and can keep you from pooping.

If you have IBS, constipation, bloating, or abdominal pain, then you DON'T want to miss this episode!

And if you want to learn more about ALL the symptoms toxic mold exposure can cause, be sure to check out Episode 220// 100 Symptoms of Toxic Mold Exposure. Listen in to that episode to see how many of YOUR symptoms line up with toxic mold exposure.

219// Why You Need to Care About Mold Illness NOW

Thu, 01 Aug 2024 07:00:00 -0400

Do you feel better every time you're on a protocol, but as soon as you stop your supplements or diet restrictions, your symptoms come back?

Have you done a SIBO, parasite, or candida protocol multiple times, only to find that retesting shows you STILL have it?

Do you feel like you've tried EVERYTHING to heal your body, but nothing has worked?

Do you have symptoms across your body that can't be explained by doctors, symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, eczema, constipation, acid reflux, bloating, hormone imbalance, or PMS?

If you said yes to ANY of these question, then you need to care about something called mold illness.

Mold illness is caused by being exposed to toxins that mold produced called MYCOTOXINS. It's different than a mold allergy, and so it's typically ignored completely by conventional medicine.

Here on the Better Belly Podcast, we are having a Mold Month Series during August where every episode is dedicated to educating you about mold, how to know if you have it, and what to do about it if you do.

This series is designed for those new to the mold conversation and those who've been in it for a while. If you're new to the idea of mold, though, you likely have a big fat question of: "Do I really need to care about this?"

On today's episode, I'm addressing my top reasons on WHY you should be seriously considering that mold may be apart of your chronic health problems.

218// Can You Heal Constipation with a Tortuous or Redundant Colon? (Or a Mega Colon?)

Tue, 30 Jul 2024 07:00:00 -0400

If you have a tortuous colon, redundant colon, or mega colon - do you have a life sentence to constipation? Learn the answer today.

----

If you're listening to this episode, then you've likely been diagnosed with or believe you may have either a redundant colon or tortuous colon, or a mega colon. And you're wondering - if I have this, can I ever overcome my constipation?

Unfortunately for you, doctors frequently make it sound like a redundant or tortuous colon, or a mega colon, are life sentences to constipation. They often make it sound like you have this irreversible structural problem you'll never overcome, and you either have to do a surgery (that might not help anyways), take tons of laxatives, or you just aren't going to poop daily.

The good news is - this is NOT true.

But I don't expect you to simply take my word for it.

In today's episode, I'm going to dive into WHY a redundant / tortuous colon and megacolon are not life sentences to constipation, why doctors make it seem that way, and what you can do to overcome bloating and constipation in your life - even with a redundant / tortuous colon or megacolon.

217// The ADHD-Mold Connection: How Mold Sets ADHD on FIRE

Thu, 25 Jul 2024 07:00:00 -0400

Has your ADHD recently gotten worse? Not ADHD as a kid, but suddenly have problems with attention and forgetfulness? Mold may be the cause.

For the last few weeks, we've been in an ADHD series where I've been breaking down the connection between your BODY and your ADHD.

I've talked about 5 ways to make your ADHD easier to manage by healing your gut, if intermittent fasting is a hack for ADHDers who forgets to eat meals, and 2 genes to support if you have ADHD (check out gene #1 here and gene #2 here).

On today's episode, I'm wrapping up our ADHD series with talking about a very serious and very common irritant I'm seeing taking my client's ADHD to whole new levels of intensity.

This episode could technically fit into the episode on 5 ways to make your ADHD easier to manage by healing your gut, because one of those five things is dealing with hidden pathogens.

But this topic is so common, complex, and honestly undiscussed, that I decided to give the conversation on ADHD and mold it's own episode.

If you have ADHD, think you have ADHD, or struggle with forgetfulness, brain fog, inattention, irritability, or mood swings, then this episode is for you.

216// ADHD and COMT Gene Mutation: Why You Need to Care About this SNP if You Have ADHD

Tue, 23 Jul 2024 07:00:00 -0400

Last week, I did an episode on ADHD and the MAOA gene mutation. When I released the episode, I told ya'll that this was THE gene mutation that was connected to ADHD and it was going to be a great episode.

Well...it was a great episode! But, as I was collecting the data for the episode, I realized that I had forgotten about another gene mutation that ALSO highly indicated ADHD.

Drumroll please 🥁

It is...the COMT gene mutation!

On today's episode, I'm sharing all about the COMT gene mutation, what it's role is in the body, signs and symptoms you might have this gene mutation, and how you can support it naturally.

I hope this episode opens your eyes, and gives you a new way to see your ADHD and how you can support yourself.

Cheers!

215// Intermittent Fasting and ADHD: Good Idea or Bad?

Thu, 18 Jul 2024 07:00:00 -0400

Do you often forget to eat a meal?

Do you ever miss a meal, or eat it late, and feel like you feel BETTER for it?

Have you ever wondered if intermittent fasting would be right for you?

One common question I get from clients who struggle with missing meals is - is it okay to miss meals? If I'm missing meals and feel fine without them, should I try intermittent fasting?

These are OFTEN questions coming from clients who are ADHD or believe they may have ADHD.

On today's episode, I'm answering questions like:

Is it so bad to not eat or forget a meal?
Is intermittent fasting a good or bad idea if you're ADHD?
Dr. Ben Lynch's example for how to use intermittent fasting if you're ADHD
Tips to foods to keep around that are healthy and you can eat at any moment, anywhere - if you need some food ASAP

214// Is this Gene Mutation Making Your ADHD Worse? Why the MAOA SNP Matters If You Have ADHD

Tue, 16 Jul 2024 07:00:00 -0400

Today, we are continuing on with our ADHD series here on the Better Belly Podcast.

Today, I'm going to be talking about something I just do NOT hear people talk about in the ADHD community, and that is the MAOA gene mutation.

These gene mutation is HUGELY implicated in ADHD.

You do not automatically have the MAOA gene mutation if you have ADHD, but if you do have this gene mutation, you can be set up for symptoms like poor focus, carb cravings, difficulty staying asleep, depression, chocolate cravings, have a tremendous amount of energy one moment then none the next, have great focus one moment then none the next, have difficulty controlling your temper, and generally crave things that will give you a dopamine hit.

If you are looking for ways to support your ADHD than can literally make it EASIER to manage, without needing more systems to rule your life - then this episode is for you.

212// The ADHD-Gut Connection: 5 Ways to Make ADHD Management Easier Using Gut Health

Tue, 09 Jul 2024 07:00:00 -0400

Learn how these 5 gut health strategies can make managing your ADHD easier WITHOUT more medication or mental gymnastics!

----

When I first started working with clients in their gut health in 2018, I had NO awareness of ADHD or the connection between ADHD and the gut.

However, after just a couple years of working with clients, I realized that I consistently was getting remarks from clients saying, "My ADHD is getting better!", "I can focus better!" or "Can this work possibly help ADHD? I feel like mine is better!"

Just a few weeks ago, a client said to me: "I thought that all my distraction, irritability, and difficulty focusing might be ADHD and being a mom, but so much of my brain fog has lifted since I started these protocols!"

My response has always been, "Great!"

But they wanted to know...WHY?

On today's episode, I'm diving into 5 ways your gut impacts your brain, and how you can use these 5 gut health strategies to make managing your ADHD easier.

Whether you feel like you do or don't have gut health problems, if you know you have or THINK you have ADHD, this episode is for you!

210// 3 Causes of Supplement Sensitivity + How to Reduce Your Sensitivity

Tue, 02 Jul 2024 07:00:00 -0400

One of the most common questions and concerns I get from clients looking to work with me is,

"I'm sensitive to supplements. Can I work with you?"

If you are someone who is sensitive to supplements, you know that you can just dump any old supplement into your body and feel okay. It's likely led to dead-ends with previous practitioners, and protocols that you can't finish.

If you're new to the conversation on supplement sensitivity, you may be wondering, "What is supplement sensitivity? Do I have it??"

On today's episode, I'm talking about what supplement sensitivity is, the 3 causes of supplement sensitivity, and what you can do about each reason.

If you've ever had trouble finishing a protocol or taking supplements due to feeling worse when taking them, then this episode is for you.

209// The Top 3 Best and Worst Gut Health Books

Thu, 27 Jun 2024 07:00:00 -0400

A couple weeks ago, I went to a local bookstore to have a cup of coffee and do client work on my laptop.

After getting my matcha latte, I went to find a quiet corner to work in. Before I was able to sit down, though, I passed a young woman reading a well-known gut health book.

"What do you think of the book?" I asked her.

"It's okay," she said. "Have you read it?"

"Yes." I paused, deciding if I really would tell her what I thought. "I didn't like it."

She looked surprised, and over the next few minutes, I explained that I'm a gut health specialist, I had to heal my gut and hormones from IBS-C, 2 years of no period, and losing my hair. After doctors told me, "My labs look normal." I read that book, and it didn't heal me.

Now, I know why. But it was really sad and confusing to me that the "best" literature out there on gut health really didn't...help.

The young woman, who had graduated from nursing school just that week, then asked, "What would you recommend to read?"

It was out of that question that this episode was born.

On today's episode, I'm going to share the top 3 best (and worst) gut health books that I've read - all based on how effective they are on possibly helping you to heal.

Whether you want to save time knowing what not to read, or you are looking for a new list of books to dive into - this episode is for you.

208// Why Her Symptoms Got Worse After Doing the Constipation Protocol

Tue, 25 Jun 2024 07:00:00 -0400

Have you ever done a protocol that made your symptoms WORSE?

Recently on an Instagram Live, I was asked a question about why a woman's constipation got WORSE when she did a constipation protocol.

This is unfortunately a common problem not just for constipation but also bloating, acid reflux, PMS, eczema, fatigue, and more.

Why does this happen? What was likely going on with this client's specific constipation response? And how can you not only avoid this problem, but find a protocol that actually will work for you?

I'm answering all this and more today. Let's dive in.

206// Is Functional Medicine Dead? Why Functional Medicine Is Failing People

Tue, 18 Jun 2024 07:00:00 -0400

Lately, I’ve been finding myself hesitant to identify as a functional medicine practitioner.

There have been so many clients coming to me saying “functional medicine didn’t work for me.” To that, there can be a million reasons why. But because of that one (or multiple failures), there is some serious mistrust being built. Especially when 20% of the American population says that nothing they've tried to heal their gut has worked.

Because functional medicine has been treated as the “highest form” of alternative medicine, when it fails someone, it feels like a BIG hit.

And if it didn’t work for them, how do I describe how what I do is different?

In today's episode, I'm talking about what the actual problem is behind why you haven't gotten results from previous practitioners. And I'm talking about what I think the solution should be for consumers making better choices in their purchases.

That is our topic today: is Functional Medicine dead?

Let’s talk about it 👉

204// Are These Gut Health Myths Keeping You Constipated? Listen to find out.

Tue, 11 Jun 2024 07:00:00 -0400

Back in 2020 when I started this podcast, the Better Belly Podcast, one of my MAIN goals was to create content that BUSTED prominent myths about how to heal your gut and end constipation.

As a gut health expert and someone who failed to heal their own gut using the generic advice, I felt (and still feel) a passion to cut the crap and bring clarity to those who were trying SO HARD to heal their gut - yet getting no where.

The truth is: eating magnesium, drinking water, chewing your food, taking probiotics, eating clean, or doing a juice cleanse IS NOT working anymore.

In 2023, research by Ipsos showed that 20% of Americans say that "nothing they've tried to heal their gut has worked" and "they feel that they're at a dead end."

In celebration of my birthday (today!!) and all the myth-busting we've done over the last 3 years on the Better Belly Podcast, I'm sharing my top myth-busting episodes as an easy directory on this episode. I'll be sharing a quick background and thoughts on each episode, and then sharing links in the shownotes for you to go check them out.

It's time to get gut-healing freedom from these myths.

She was having conversations with family members, trying to convince them to eat organic, and they just were not convinced.

Today's episode is all about discussing how much eating organic can ACTUALLY help you, if the benefits outweigh the cost, and what I recommend to make the biggest difference in your health.

I hope this is a new conversation on eating organic that relieves some of the pressure while also adding education and insight as you try to live your healthy and optimal life.

202// "I keep getting asked if I'm pregnant." What's causing her bloating, and how can she find bloat relief? [Ask Allison - Elizabeth's Question]

Tue, 04 Jun 2024 07:00:00 -0400

Elizabeth has been dealing with bloating for the last 5 years that she just CANNOT get to go away.

She has gone completely gluten free and dairy free, she limits processed foods, eats almost completely organic, and makes almost all her food from scratch. And she still gets people asking her if she's pregnant. When she's NOT.

What else can she do? And why has her healthy eating not helped her?

Listen in to this episode where I break down what is likely causing her bloating and what she can do to find bloat relief.

AND, for those of you who noticed that this episode is airing on a Tuesday, I am happily announcing airing an extra episode each week for a Summer of Double Dipping. During this summer, I'll be having 2 episodes per week to give you double the fun and double the healing this summer.

Now - let's dive in!

200// How She Ended 20+ Years of Bloating, Constipation, Fatigue, Acid reflux, and No Period in 3 Months + Last Week to Get $200 Off the Blueprint! [Testimonial - Andrea]

Thu, 23 May 2024 07:00:00 -0400

For over 20 years, Andrea has been plagued by bloating, constipation, fatigue, reflux, no period, and hot/cold temperature changes.

She's kept all these symptoms under control through a SUPER restricted diet she was put on 20 years ago, but a few months before she came to me, her symptoms suddenly worsened and multiplied!

Acid reflux, heartburn, fatigue, headaches, neck tension, difficulty staying asleep, and waking up in the middle of the night. Her gut, hormones, and body were a complete wreck.

She didn't want to go down this road again, but she didn't know what else she could do other than restrict her diet.

That's when she found Better Belly Therapies.

After just a few days on her first protocol, she slept through the night completely - for the first time in years!

3 months after starting her first protocol, she was pooping daily, her period was back and COMPLETELY normal (no pain), and her acid reflux was almost completely gone.

All without being on a super restricted diet.

How did she make such a dramatic improvement? And how can you do the same?

Learn all this and more in today's episode! Let's jump in.

Why being diagnosed with PCOS isn't a life sentence
2 Types of PCOS

198// 2 Natural Perimenopause Support Strategies for Any Age

Thu, 09 May 2024 11:00:00 -0400

Back in January, I did a big poll to better understand the problems that you, my listeners, are currently dealing with. And one of the BIGGEST problems that came up was something I just really haven't talked a lot about yet - hormones.

There were four categories of hormonal questions that came up around: periods, pregnancy & postpartum, perimenopause, and PCOS.

I find that MOST conversations around these hormones make them sound SUPER complicated, but in reality, they can be explained, and supported, in SUPER simple ways.

So I wanted to create my own series showing you exactly how I think of and support my hormones and my clients hormones at each of these stages.

Today's topic is all about Perimenopause!

I'll be answering:

What perimenopause is
What age perimenopause should happen at
2 natural perimenopause support strategies you can use - at ANY age - to prepare for and manage this transition

Today is PART THREE in our Healthy Hormones Series. Stay tuned for our LAST Part 4: PCOS.

Almost every woman will go through all these stages of hormones at some point in their life, or we know someone right now going through them. So be sure to stay tuned! You DON'T want to miss this series!

194// Have Trouble Relaxing? 5 Tips to Regulate Your Nervous System

Thu, 11 Apr 2024 11:00:00 -0400

A couple of weeks ago, a client of mine said to me, "I know I need to relax to heal, but I can't relax; literally, I can't sit still. If I do, I feel like I'm going to jump out of my skin."

When he said this, I realized that he was not the only client who had told me this before.

Many of my clients feel that relaxing is very difficult, all for different reasons and different life stages. Maybe you're a mom with too many things to do. Or you're a business owner with an endless list of tasks to complete. Or you're a teacher and father who juggles taking his kids to school and showing up to work without forgetting to eat breakfast.

When you take a moment to sit still, relax, do nothing - it's uncomfortable. Your body wants to get up and move. Basically, you don't feel relaxed when you're "relaxing." This is what happens when you have nervous system dysregulation.

How do you regulate your nervous system when it's not regulating on its own? And if you're currently experiencing this, how DO you relax?

Today, I'm going to dive into two paradigms to help you explore the nature of relaxing and 5 hacks to help you relax and get nervous system regulation with greater ease - no matter what's going on in your life.

193// It's not all in your head: 5 Causes of Anxiety that Are In Your Gut (Not Your Mind)

Thu, 04 Apr 2024 11:00:00 -0400

Back in January, I put out a poll asking ya'll to share with me what were the top symptoms you were dealing with. I wanted to see what problems you were having the most so that I could make sure we were having episodes with that content on the podcast.

Turns out, one of the TOP results of symptoms ya'll are dealing with is anxiety. So today, I'm talking all about anxiety. Not from the perspective of your mind and thoughts (cause I'm no psychologist), but from the perspective of your body.

Your anxiety is NOT all in your head, your thoughts, or your mindset. I regularly get clients who are able to reduce or completely come off of anxiety medication or reduce regular counseling appointments when we heal their gut.

Today, I'm sharing 5 causes of anxiety that are in your gut PLUS specific step you can take to improve your gut health to cut your anxiety in half.

And if you like today's episode, be sure to subscribe and listen to next week's episode where I'll be breaking down my top tips for how to relax...when you simply can't.

192// Are Animal Fat and Meat Inflammation Causing Foods?

Thu, 28 Mar 2024 11:00:00 -0400

I recently had a friend of mine ask me, "Does animal fat really cause inflammation?"

She was reading a pop-culture book on gut health, and in this book, it was really hammering away at animal fat and animal meat being major inflammation-causing foods.

Since she was wondering this, I figured you might be, too. So I'm dedicating an entire episode to answering if animal fat and meat are inflammatory, and if so, when and under what circumstances can you eat meat and fat without it causing inflammation?

If you want to know EXACTLY which foods to eat to feel your best or are struggling with chronic inflammation in your body - then this episode is for you!

On today's episode, we'll be exploring what inflammation is, the role of the gut in inflammation, and reasons why your gut and body inflammation aren't going down.

If you feel like your body is inflamed, you aren't sure if you're dealing with inflammation, or you don't see any reduction in your symptoms despite taking special supplements or eating anti-inflammatory foods - then this episode is for you.

190// Gluten Free Diet Not Healing Your Gut? How she found bloating & constipation relief after nothing else worked [Testimonial: Ti]

Thu, 14 Mar 2024 11:00:00 -0400

When my client Ti came to me, she was dealing with bloating, constipation, brain fog, bad breath, and water retention that didn't improve no matter WHAT she tried.

She'd already tried the gluten free diet, elimination diet, magnesium, prune juice, doctor visits, and an herbal remedy to heal her constipation, but NOTHING was healing her gut long-term.

On today's episode, listen in to Part 2 of my client Ti's journey as she walks through the Better Belly Method, my signature process to healing the gut and the entire body without lifelong supplements or extreme food restrictions. Spoiler Alert: even after nothing else had worked, Ti DID finally find bloating and constipation relief, along with naturally healing from her brain fog, bad breath, and water retention.

If you missed Part 1 to Ti's journey, check out episode 158// How She Ended a Decade of Chronic Constipation in 1 Month and hear about Ti's dramatic improvement after just one month of following the Better Belly Method.

188// Where Does Brain Fog Come From? 5 Causes of Brain Fog + What To Do About It

Thu, 29 Feb 2024 12:00:00 -0400

Do you have difficulty recalling words or names of people you know?

Is your thinking slower than it used to be, and it feels like you're walking through a pool of molasses?

Or do you have memory or decision problems, making it hard to complete your grocery list or make a decision between two options?

If so, you have many common brain fog symptoms.

Brain fog is one of the top most common symptoms my clients deal with, and it's a total bear to deal with.

Brain fog can happen to anyone under the right circumstances, but the problem is when your brain fog is chronic and ongoing, no matter how much you try to sleep, what brain fog supplements you take, or what your circumstances are.

What is brain fog, what causes it, and - most importantly - how can you reverse it?

On today's episode, I'm breaking down 5 common causes of brain fog so you can break out of it and start thinking clearly again.

186// "All my symptoms started after I gave birth." What is Postnatal Depletion? Do you have it? And what to do about it.

Thu, 15 Feb 2024 12:00:00 -0400

One of the most common patterns I hear from clients coming into my office is women in their 30's+ telling me: "All my symptoms started or got significantly worse after having child # __."

When they come in, they're dealing with symptoms of brain fog, weight gain, anger & irritability, low libido, weak muscles, fatigue, insomnia OR wanting to sleep all the time, acid reflux, new or increasing food sensitivities, bloating, and more.

At the very minimum, these women are told by their doctors that this is a normal part of motherhood and to just suck it up. At most, a doctor will blame all of this on one or two markers in their bloodwork such as low iron or low Vit D, give them a supplement, and tell them that's the only thing they can fix.

Not only is this untrue that all these symptoms must be permanent after becoming a mother, but it's bad science. Yes, it's normal for women to be depleted by pregnancy and delivery for 3-12 months after giving birth. But if your brain fog, weight gain, anger & irritability, weak muscles, fatigue, bloating, or more has not resolved in the 12 months after giving birth, it's time to look into something call chronic Postnatal Depletion.

What is Postnatal Depletion, how do you know if you have it, and what can you do to get rid of it?

I go over all this today and more.

If you are living with chronic symptoms that diet change, supplements, exercise, and doctors can't fix - then you won't want to miss today's episode. You don't have to live with these symptoms or the guilt that comes with not being able to get your body or brain to look or feel the way you want it to.

It's time to let go of mom guilt about your body, emotions, and mental capacity. Let's dive in.

185// How This SIBO Natural Treatment Put Her SIBO In Remission in 3 Months [Testimonial - Emily]

Thu, 08 Feb 2024 12:00:00 -0400

When my client Emily came to me, she had a serious case of SIBO that she could NOT get rid of.

Prior to seeing me, she had tried what felt like EVERYTHING to get rid of her SIBO: expensive SIBO diets, antibiotics, probiotics, and dozens of doctor visits - and nothing helped.

However, in just 3 months on my natural protocol for SIBO, she had put her SIBO into remission and was on her way to reintroducing tons of foods into her diet.

Hear Emily's story straight from her mouth, and learn how this SIBO natural treatment has finally worked for her and can work for you, too!

183// Get Rid of 30+ Years of Constipation, Headaches, Fatigue, Insomnia, And Anxiety in ONE Week [Client Testimonial - Eric]

Thu, 25 Jan 2024 12:00:00 -0400

When Eric came to me, he had been struggling with constipation, headaches, fatigue, insomnia, abdominal pain, and anxiety - ALL of his adult life!

This caused him to spend less time with his family due to discomfort and gave him less energy to use to do his work as a teacher.

Eric is now 50, and after 30 years of having these symptoms, Eric had gone to MULTIPLE doctors to fix his symptoms, but doctors have been NO help. Eric also had tried dramatic diet changes to heal, and while he did lose weight, his constipation and headaches never went away. Worse - he wasn't even able to sustain his weight loss because that diet left him feeling HUNGRY - all the time.

But in just 6 days on his new, custom protocol built to his body's specific needs inside the Better Belly Method, his constipation, headaches, fatigue, insomnia, abdominal pain, and even anxiety either stopped or dramatically decreased.

That improvement has also lasted his ENTIRE first month of being on his new protocol.

If you have:

Tried restricted diets but felt too hungry to be able to sustain the diet
Visited MULTIPLE doctors to try and heal your problems but haven't found any solutions
Been told by doctors that your "labs look normal"
Made changes in your diet or exercise or supplements, but aren't getting results
Felt guilt or shame about not being able to just "eat right" to be healthy
Want headache relief after years of chronic headaches
Want an EASIER way to get rid of your bloating, constipation, fatigue, insomnia, and more...

Then THIS episode is for you.

Hear straight from Eric exactly what his life was like BEFORE starting the Better Belly Method, and hear what it's been like in just the first week and month on his custom protocol. And - learn how you can get results like this, too!

182// How to Get the MOST Out of Your Health Insurance in 2024, with Dr. Marc Downing

Thu, 18 Jan 2024 12:00:00 -0400

If you have been sick and have been trying to navigate health insurance to get the MOST out of your health insurance while paying the LEAST, you know that health insurance is a total BEAR.

Health insurance can be a TOTAL pain in every regard. It can be a pain to find providers who take your insurance, it's a pain to be told your insurance will cover one amount and later you get charged a totally different (usually much higher) amount. It's a pain that insurance doesn't cover many things that we WANT it to cover, things that will ACTUALLY help you heal.

Why is insurance this way? And how can you actually use your health insurance to make it work for you, instead of feeling like you're fighting it all the time?

This conversation is NOT about insurance reform, or even politics or voting.

This is about, with the system EXACTLY the way it is right now, what can YOU do to still get the healthcare you want or need?

To host this conversation, I had a conversation with a special guest that I am SO excited to introduce you to - my father!

Dr. Marc Downing is a pediatric surgeon in Southwest Michigan who has been working in healthcare and the hospital system for more than 25 years. He's seen a LOT of shifts in healthcare not only through his career as a physician but also throughout the last 100 years of healthcare that he's studied. Dr. Marc Downing has a deep passion for seeing everyone be able to receive healthcare and to have to turn NO ONE away due to financial problems, but he also sees first-hand a lot of the problems that our current healthcare system creates for individuals and the system itself as someone who both has health insurance and someone who has to deal with it on a daily basis with his patients. Dr. Downing also shares some of his unique wisdom he's gleaned on different ways people approach getting healthcare through his experiences doing international surgery and also with working with communities in the U.S., such as the Amish, who inherently have no access to health insurance.

How are people getting healthy in the U.S. and around the world, with or without health insurance, and how can you take your current situation (regardless of your healthcare insurance status) to still get better health outcomes for you and your family?

We're tackling all this today, and more.

Also, to note: this episode pairs really well with last week's episode with financial expert Katherine Pomerantz where we discuss Katherine's top tips to make your health more affordable. Check out her episode, 182// How to Make Health More Affordable with Katherine Pomerantz!

180// Easy Healthy Mindsets: How the Mantra "Health Should Be Easy" Will Change Your Life in 2024

Thu, 04 Jan 2024 12:00:00 -0400

2023 was a GROUNDBREAKING year for us in my company, Better Belly Therapies.

Over the year, I helped over 30 people get rid of bloating, constipation, diarrhea, irregular periods, painful periods, PMS, lose 13-35 lbs in weight, get rid of food confusion and food fear, sleep normally, feel rested, and triple how much patience they had with their kids.

As I had LOTS of conversations with my clients and people considering working with us, I saw a theme arising continuously around health and how DIFFICULT it was to get or stay healthy.

Because of this, I developed the mantra that "health should be easy", and boy - has it created HUGE breakthrough in our clients!

In today's episode, I want to share with YOU this easy healthy mindset, what it means, and how it has the power to absolutely change your 2024.

If you've been struggling in your health lately, if you feel like your health has been an insurmountable wall of difficulty, if you want easy, sustainable health that doesn't require ridiculous food restrictions or ongoing supplement regimens - then this episode is for you.

179// 5 Steps to Make Health Easy in 2024: My Health Plan for 2024, and How You Can Achieve Your Health Goals Using Functional Medicine, too

Thu, 28 Dec 2023 12:00:00 -0400

Was your health WAY to difficult to manage in 2023?

Are you ending 2023 feeling overwhelmed or discouraged by your health?

If so, you may benefit from having a health plan for 2024.

At the beginning of 2023, I shared my health goals for the year in Episode 122.

A few weeks ago, I shared my update on how my health goals went for 2023 and how I did it all with MINIMAL effort and without completely exhausting myself.

Today, I'm opening up my life and sharing my health plans for 2024. I'm also sharing with you how I determined my health goals for 2024, what I'm doing to prep to hit them, and how you can do all of this, too, with functional medicine.

As I made this episode, I was reminded of the quote from Benjamin Franklin: "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail."

Health DOESN'T have to be a guessing game or something random that happens TO you. You can actually have a PLANNED impact on your health, so you can no longer be a victim to your health but feel that health is not only on your side but EASY, too.

Whether you're newly on a health journey or have been at it for a while, it's time to make your health a whole lot easier.

178// Why Constipation Medicine Isn't Helping You + What to Do When Laxatives, Probiotics, Water, and Fiber Aren't Healing Your Constipation

Thu, 21 Dec 2023 12:00:00 -0400

Pam has struggled with constipation on and off her entire life. Now, in the last 8 months, everything has gotten WAY worse.

Despite drinking water, eating fruits and veggies, and taking medications and laxatives like Linzess and Senekot, she can't poop. Or if she does, it hurts and comes with a LOT of cramping, bloating, and gas.

Why aren't her constipation medications working anymore?

And what can she do to actually heal her gut and have GOOD gut health?

I'm answering these questions on today's podcast! This question was submitted via my Ask Allison program, where I answer questions YOU ask here on the podcast.

If you want ME to review your health story just like I did with Pam and give my thoughts on what you should do next or what you're missing, go to betterbellytherapies.com/askallison and you can hear your question answered by me on an upcoming episode!

Thu, 14 Dec 2023 12:00:00 -0400

In June of this year (2023), I had 15 students take my FIRST round of my online course and group coaching program, the Better Belly Blueprint.

Today, I'm reviewing EXACTLY what happened with my students.

Did they get the results they were looking for?
How long did it take for them to see those results?

If you want to heal your bloating, constipation, fatigue, brain fog, and MORE for GOOD, and you're looking for a solution that can help you reduce your symptoms FAST, then THIS episode is for YOU!

175// How to Save Time with My Simple Grocery Shopping Method

Thu, 30 Nov 2023 12:00:00 -0400

Have you ever opened your fridge and wondered how it was empty again?

Have you ever needed to go to the grocery store for just ONE item you were missing - and hated the trip the whole way there?

Have you ever started a recipe only to realize that you didn't have all the ingredients you needed?

If you said yes to any of these, I get you. This used to be me, too, until I implemented my Simple Grocery Shopping Method. It takes me only 1 hr per week and keeps me and my family fed and ready to make meals, muffins, and snacks all without running out of ingredients or needing to take another trip to the grocery store.

As we come up on Thanksgiving and the BIGGEST eating event of the year, I thought I'd spill the beans on how I grocery shop using MINIMAL effort with just 1 hr per week on AVERAGE.

The great news? This method can be SCALED to a family of 4, 5 or 6. I'm going to teach you exactly how to save time grocery shopping and what I do to minimize the time spent at the grocery store and maximize the time spent with family and NOT worrying about what I'll eat next.

174// One Habit to Start RIGHT NOW for Better Gut Health

Thu, 23 Nov 2023 12:00:00 -0400

Recently in my Free Facebook Group, I was asked this question:

"What is the ONE habit I could add to my day right now to start toward better gut health?"

I thought it was a great question, so I made a podcast episode on this. I gave the question a lot of thought, and after collecting my thoughts from 100+ cases of men and women whom I've helped get rid of their most stubborn constipation, bloating, acne, autoimmune flares, eczema, chronic pain, fatigue, and more - I really hope my answer is refreshing to you. This is not the average advice you hear on blog posts about probiotics, going gluten free, or fiber. I hope my answer today removes unnecessary time and money spent and quickens you on your path to healing. Because if I had ONE piece of advice I could give to everyone, one habit to add right now to help you have better gut health, it'd be this.

I hope you love this episode.

173// Want a Sneak Peek Inside the Better Belly Blueprint? Listen to This LIVE Q&A Call

Thu, 16 Nov 2023 12:00:00 -0400

This week, I hosted my workshop - Clear Your Constipation - on Monday and Tuesday.

It's done now, but I wanted to share with ya'll a clip of a Q&A Call I had with my VIP workshop attendees on Tuesday.

In this call, I answered ANY questions our workshop attendees wanted to ask me. They ended up asking a LOT of interesting questions, so I wanted to share it with you guys here on the podcast.

I am calling this episode a sneak peek inside the Better Belly Blueprint - because while it's actually a call with my VIP workshop attendees, this call honestly feels a lot more like one of my group coaching Q&A calls that I have in my course and group coaching program, the Better Belly Blueprint.

Questions we cover in this episode:

Is there ever a time you DON'T recommend treating H. Pylori?
What labs should I order for migraines, constipation, and acid reflux?
Why are my liver enzymes high? Is there anything I can do about it?
What is the difference between the MRT and Zoomer food sensitivity tests?
What does it mean when a food sensitivity says I'm sensitive to a food, but I don't notice feeling bad when I eat that food?
If I go through a detox and I get a headache as I detox, can I take medication for that headache?
Can I stop doing some of my detox methods on vacation?

We did ALL of these questions in less than 17 minutes. Woo! You don't need a lot of time to get massive breakthrough and clarity in your health, and I hope this calls proves it to you.

If you're ready to finally find the source of not only your bloating and constipation but also headaches, migraines, acne, eczema, UTI's, sinusitis, fibromyalgia, and more, listen to this episode.

But ALSO: Join my course + group coaching program, the Better Belly Blueprint.

172// My Top 10 Favorite QUICK Gluten Free Snacks

Thu, 09 Nov 2023 12:00:00 -0400

Have you ever found yourself stuck in your car in traffic and were STARVING?

Have you ever tried to buy a snack at the gas station and found NOTHING you could eat?

Have you ever flown on a plane and found yourself bitter that ALL the snacks they served weren't gluten free?

If so - then this episode is for you!

The ability to eat something on-the-go that's good for your mind and body is SUPER important to getting through the day. Snacks can be helpful in a pinch, when the day doesn't go the way we planned, or when you're traveling for hours at a time. Having healthy food on hand that you can eat can give peace of mind, balance your blood sugar, and help you feel empowered even when you're on a gluten free, grain free, or otherwise restricted diet.

In today's episode, I'm sharing my top 10 favorite QUICK gluten free snacks I keep on hand at all times.

I'm also sharing the 3 Healthy Snack Guidelines I use for picking my snacks, so even if you have a different set of food restrictions than me, you can use these 3 guidelines to find your top 10 snacks that can get you through the day.

Just because you're on a restricted diet doesn't mean you have to starve. So if you want to thrive and feel good on your gluten free, grain free, or dairy free diet - then let's jump on in!

167// Visceral Manipulation: A SIMPLE Diastasis Recti Treatment [Client Testimonial - Megan]

Thu, 05 Oct 2023 11:00:00 -0400

Have you ever felt STUCK in your health?

Have you ever had a doctor tell you that your diastasis recti is as good as it's going to get?

Have you ever feared hoping that you could LOOK or FEEL better - because you didn't want be disappointed?

If so, you are like my friend, Megan.

Megan and I met this past weekend for the FIRST TIME as roommates in Dallas for a business conference. On the last morning in our hotel, Megan and I had a quick, 30-minute session of visceral manipulation to help her diastasis recti. Megan is currently 16 months postpartum and had been religiously following an exercise plan to heal her diastasis recti after two 10-pound boys. Despite her efforts, her diastasis recti had only improved from 3 fingers to 2 fingers wide, and her doctors were telling her that this was her new norm.

Despite Megan's reluctance to believe that her DRA could get better, and with having NEVER heard of visceral manipulation before (the main technique I was going to use), Megan got to see in a matter of minutes her abdomen changed before her eyes.

On today's episode, listen to Megan tell her own account of our special session and how it brought hope back for her body and life.

If you have never heard of visceral manipulation or if you are struggling with a diastasis recti that won't heal - then this episode is for you.

And while we don't talk explicitly about the application of visceral manipulation to bloating and constipation, I have an episode just for you: Episode 90// Fascia 101: The Hidden Force Behind Bloating, Constipation, and IBS.

If you're dealing with a diastasis recti, bloating or constipation, be sure you don't miss this episode and check out episode 90. The link is in the shownotes.

162// Constipation Remedies Not Working? Find Constipation Relief with These 4 Lab Tests

Thu, 31 Aug 2023 11:00:00 -0400

Back in May, I had 15 students join me for the first round of Better Belly Blueprint, my online course + group coaching program that teaches you how to end bloating and constipation - for GOOD.

These women showed up with months to years of bloating and constipation behind them along with dozens of diets, doctor visits, and natural (or not-so-natural) constipation remedies that they had tried. In my course, I taught them how to order and analyze functional medicine lab tests that came straight to their homes. They also learned how to create a personalized health plan that would help them finally end their gut health problems, balance their hormones, and clear up their skin.

As I re-open the doors TODAY to the Better Belly Blueprint, I want to share with you EXACTLY what my students found on their labs. One of the most common reservations I find in men and women looking to heal their gut is, "But what if I don't find anything on my labs?"

If you are tired of that lame excuse from a doctor that "your labs look normal", and you're afraid you'll waste time and money and end up MORE frustrated than before by doing more lab work, then buckle up, because I'm going to share with you exactly HOW MUCH my students found and how YOU can find the same things and heal your gut permanently and find bloating and constipation relief.

160// Constipation Foods Myth: Why Food Doesn't Cause Constipation + 4 Actual Remedies to Constipation

Thu, 17 Aug 2023 11:00:00 -0400

One of my biggest pet peeves about conventional constipation treatment is the prevailing myth that foods cause, and can cure, constipation.

In 2015, when I was at the height of my IBS and constipation sickness, I would scour the internet day and night for what could POSSIBLY be causing my constipation. And - what could heal it. The main information I found over and over again was all about food. Constipation foods to avoid. Constipation foods to help. Foods for constipation. High-fiber food. Fermented food. The Low FODMAP diet. Gluten-free food. Dairy-free food. Prunes. Pears. The list goes on.

It seemed that the majority of advice out there on constipation was about food. Yet after several years of an extremely restricted diet and trying dozens of food restrictions, I started to get the sense that maybe food wasn't the cause - and definitely not the cure - to my constipation.

On today's episode, I am finally tackling the constipation myth I probably hate the most: that food causes, and can cure, constipation. I'll also be replacing that myth with 4 non-food remedies to constipation that ACTUALLY work.

If you are ready to ditch your constipation and endless food restrictions, then today's episode is for you.

Thu, 27 Jul 2023 11:00:00 -0400

Eric is a 55-year-old male who, in the last year, suddenly developed bloating, abdominal pain, brain fog, and poor sleep.

He's done all the conventional health steps for gut health problems. He's gone to his doctor, gotten conventional bloodwork testing, worked on stress reduction and meditation, and even done the Low FODMAP diet, but his symptoms are still there. On top of that, he wants to be able to get OFF of the Low FODMAP diet without his symptoms returning.

What is REALLY going on in his health, and HOW can he truly get rid of his bloating, abdominal pain, and poor sleep while also getting off the Low FODMAP diet?

Listen in to this 1:1 Coaching Call session I had with Eric, and learn the 4 steps I recommend to him to end his bloating and abdominal pain WITHOUT needing to stay on the low FODMAP diet. And if you are wanting my eyes on YOUR health, you can book your own 1:1 Coaching Call with me by going to betterbellytherapies.com/unstuck. That's betterbellytherapies.com/unstuck.

155// How to Find and Treat Lyme Disease Naturally with Heather Gray FDN-P

Thu, 13 Jul 2023 11:00:00 -0400

Are your chronic constipation, bloating, and gut health problems being caused by Lyme?

How do you know when to start looking for Lyme in your body?

If you have Celiac disease, parasites, endometriosis or other diagnoses, could you also have Lyme?

On today's episode, listen in on my conversation with Lyme Expert Heather Gray, an Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN) like myself who has healed herself while dealing with Celiac Disease, Endometriosis, parasites, and Lyme Disease.

If you are new to Lyme, Lyme is a disease passed through ticks which is particularly aggressive in people with weakened immune systems. Lyme is known as the great mimicker of diseases because it can look like so many other illnesses and cause so many other illnesses. On top of that, Lyme can be very difficult to detect and therefore often goes ignored by conventional medicine.

As you listen in to Heather Gray's story, I hope you are inspired and encouraged. And I hope you feel equipped to learn when you should be looking into Lyme in your health, and if you have Lyme, how you can start healing your body today.

154// How Runner's Diarrhea, Allergies and Leaky Gut Are All Connected + 4 Histamine Hacks to End All Three

Thu, 06 Jul 2023 11:00:00 -0400

When my friend Jess started having poop problems while doing training runs for her marathon, she immediately phoned-a-friend to ask me why, oh why, was she having diarrhea on her runs.

As her residential poop expert friend, I gave her a simple test she could do with tools found at her local CVS to discover what was behind her sudden diarrhea. What we found connected to something Jess had NEVER thought about before: her allergies.

On today's episode, I'm having a conversation with my friend Jess to discuss how diarrhea, allergies, and leaky gut are ALL connected by one word:

Histamine.

Whether you flip-flop from diarrhea to constipation, experience diarrhea only sometimes, or have it on the regular, you WON'T want to miss out on this podcast episode that is all about natural diarrhea treatments and causes. And if you're like Jess, you MAY just end up getting rid of your allergies and leaky gut, too.

152// SIBO - Fact or Fiction? with Reed Davis

Sat, 24 Jun 2023 11:00:00 -0400

Have you been diagnosed with SIBO?

Have you had SIBO in the past and have gotten it again?

Or - have you been unable to get rid of your SIBO since its diagnosis?

If so, today's episode is for you.

On today's episode, I'm interviewing Reed Davis, the Founder and Creator of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition, an online course that teaches ANYONE how to THINK and ACT like a functional health practitioner. In March 2020, I took Reed Davis' course and became an FDN. Becoming an FDN not only changed my life, but it has changed the lives of the clients I work with. FDN is the BASE framework that I use with all my clients, and the place I'd recommend ANYONE to start if they're looking to teach themselves how to be a functional health practitioner.

Tune in to join Day 3 of our special 3-Day Series featuring Reed Davis and the unique, and powerful, FDN perspective on the extremely controversial - SIBO. And if you've missed Day 1 or 2, go ahead and check out our previous two episodes where I interview Reed on the FDN perspective to autoimmune diseases and why more lab testing isn't always better.

149// The Candida Episode: 4 Steps to Get Rid of Candida - For GOOD

Thu, 15 Jun 2023 11:00:00 -0400

Are you suspicious you may have candida, or have you recently gotten a test that says you do?

Have you done a candida protocol in the past, but feel like you're getting symptoms of candida again?

Do you get UTI's or vaginal yeast infections more than 1x/year, have chronic bloating, or get a white coating on your tongue that brushing your teeth doesn't keep away?

If so, this podcast episode is for you.

On today's episode, I'm going over the 4 key steps to getting rid of candida - for good. The #1 reason why I see clients fail to get rid of candida or see it keep coming back (with all its symptoms) is because they have NOT gotten to the root cause of candida. That's right - candida is a NOT a root cause. A candida overgrowth is actually a SYMPTOM of other toxins in the body.

What's a girl to do?

Find out all the most common causes of candida overgrowth, symptoms of candida overgrowth, and learn about the EXACT 4 steps I take my clients through so you can consistently get rid of your candida - for good.

148// The Oxalate Episode: What Oxalate Toxicity is, and Why You Should Care

Thu, 08 Jun 2023 11:00:00 -0400

Hey friends, Happy Thursday!

If you've never heard of oxalates before, you won't want to miss today's episode!

Oxalates come up in a lot of my episodes as a side note to whatever topic I'm delving into, so I thought I'd dedicate a whole episode to them to refer to for all future episodes.

On today's episode, I'm diving into all things oxalates: what are oxalates? High oxalate symptoms. Causes of high oxalates. What to do if you have high oxalates in your body.

If you struggle with gas, bloating, constipation, insomnia, brain fog, yeast overgrowth, rashes, hives, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, and MORE - then it's time you meet oxalates and learn how they COULD be impacting your body.

135// Is a Parasite Causing Your Constipation? How to Find and Naturally Kill Parasites With Michelle Pobega ND

Thu, 23 Mar 2023 11:00:00 -0400

Is a parasite causing your constipation?

It was for me in 2015. In our episode today, I’m interviewing Dr. Michelle Pobega, a naturopathic doctor who’s been practicing for over 12 years in Toronto, Canada.

Dr. Michelle struggled for YEARS with IBS before she figured out how to heal her gut. After she found a parasite was at the root of her gut health problems, and now she has dedicated her practice to specialize in parasites, liver, and gallbladder health.

On today’s episode, we will be covering ALL THINGS parasites - how pervasive they are, signs and symptoms of parasites, how to assess for them, and most importantly - how to properly purge them.

132//Feeling Stuck In Your Gut Health? 2 Mindset Shifts to Overcome Analysis Paralysis

Thu, 02 Mar 2023 12:00:00 -0400

Are you stuck in your health, unsure of what solutions to pursue that will ACTUALLY work?
Are you AFRAID of picking the wrong thing and getting NO results?
Are you TIRED of spending time and money on gut healing solutions that haven’t worked?
And are you maybe even wondering if you can even get better? Should you try at all?

Hey friend. I get you. I once was in this place, too. I was stuck in analysis paralysis, pages and pages of Dr. Google, and feeling COMPLETELY out of my depth to figure out WHY I couldn’t heal my constipation.

On today’s episode, I’m talking with you about TWO MINDSETS I consistently see in women who are CONQUERING their gut health. I’ll also be giving you TWO journal prompts, so pull out some paper or save this episode to listen to later to use these POWERFUL journaling prompts.

After working with over 100 women and seeing them go from stuck to feeling GOOD, let me say: there IS healing out there for you. And let’s not let your mindset be the one thing keeping you from it.

131// Have Acid Reflux AND Constipation? 4 Steps to Get Rid of BOTH At the Same Time

Thu, 23 Feb 2023 12:00:00 -0400

Did you know?

Up to 79% of IBS patients report acid reflux symptoms, and up to 71% of acid reflux patients report irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms such as bloating and constipation.

So are constipation and acid reflux their own diseases - or are they two overlapping symptoms with SIMILAR, HIDDEN CAUSES behind them?

In over 5 years at the Better Belly Clinic, I have seen an average of 50% of my clients come in with acid reflux AND constipation. And LEAVE without BOTH.

So what IS the Constipation/Acid Reflux connection? And how can YOU use this connection to your advantage to kick acid reflux AND constipation - for GOOD?

Find out in today’s episode ~

130// Feel Like a Digestive Nightmare? End Bloating, Abdominal Pain, and Constipation in 6 months with My Client Helaine

Thu, 16 Feb 2023 12:00:00 -0400

Do you feel like a digestive nightmare?
Have you worked with dozens of health practitioners and gotten SOME improvement, only to still struggle with bloating and constipation?
Do you wish you could do your favorite activities such as traveling and attending holiday parties - without pain and able to ENJOY the world around you?

If so, you are like my client Helaine.

When Helaine came to me, she had suffered from over 10 years of bloating, constipation, and repeated abdominal surgeries. She had worked with dozens of doctors and alternative health practitioners on her gut health and had seen SOME improvement. But no supplement or diet change (like the low FODMAP diet) got rid of her deep seated symptoms.

After going through my signature, 6 month coaching program, the Foundations Program, Helaine is sharing her testimonial on how she is now free from bloating, pain, sugar-cravings - and most importantly - constipation.

I can’t wait for you to hear this amazing story and hear how you, too, can be free from constipation.

118// [LIVER] The #1 Thing You Can Do TODAY to Ease Bloating and PMS

Thu, 17 Nov 2022 12:00:00 -0400

Your liver is one of the most important detox machines in your body.

It helps detox estrogen, inflammation caused by food sensitivities and pathogens, and all the grimy stuff that your body absorbs when you have leaky gut.

There are few things that I’d recommend for just anyone who is having gut and hormone problems. But supporting your liver is one of them!

Here are my top 5 favorite ways to support your liver to reduce bloating, PMS, and more.

Thu, 10 Nov 2022 12:00:00 -0400

After being deployed to Africa in 2015, my client Anitra developed chronic constipation. Before working with me, Anitra tried over 10 different solutions to her constipation. Despite all this, she had NO urge to go, and was stuck on the merri-go-round of doctor appointments.

Sound like you?

After trying all this for six years, Anitra’s constipation completely stopped after just one month of working with me.

What changed?

And what was going on?

If you feel like you’ve tried everything when it comes to your constipation, then THIS episode is for you.

116// 3 Reasons the Gluten Free Diet Hasn't Healed Your Gas and Bloating

Thu, 03 Nov 2022 11:00:00 -0400

Have you ever had this experience?

👉 You aren’t feeling well (bloating, gas, acid reflux, etc.)
👉 You’ve heard gluten can be inflammatory for some folks
👉 You like gluten a lot (who doesn’t?), but … you want to feel better
So... you go gluten free 🤷‍♀️
👍 Your symptoms improve - perhaps temporarily (a few weeks or months)
👍 Or your symptoms improve partially - 10% reduction, 50% reduction, maybe more…
👎 But you don’t TOTALLY feel good. In fact, your symptoms are starting to come back, so…
🥖 You start eating gluten again.
You don’t feel that different when you start eating gluten again (after all, you already felt bad 🤢)
And you start telling people (particularly health professionals you try to work with), "I went gluten free and it didn’t help.
👉 "I don’t think I’m sensitive to gluten."

What happened? And why did going gluten free not heal your gut?

Hint: it might have nothing to do with whether or not you’re sensitive gluten

On today’s episode, I’m sharing with you 3 reasons that going gluten free didn’t heal your gut, and WHAT you can do to ACTUALLY get rid of your gas, bloating, IBS, constipation, and more.

114// What Caused Her Sudden Acid Reflux? [On-Air Coaching - Jennifer]

Thu, 20 Oct 2022 11:00:00 -0400

Jennifer was living a normal life until 2 months ago when she started having feelings of uncomfortable swallowing.

Over just a few weeks, her small symptoms developed into increasingly painful and difficult swallowing, near-constant acid reflux, and quick feelings of fullness that was leading to unhealthy weight loss.

After rounds of testing and medication by doctors, no one knows what is going on with Jennifer, and nothing has helped her feel better.

On today’s podcast episode, I am doing a free, on-air coaching call with Jennifer where our goal was to get to the bottom of her mysterious acid reflux. What caused it? And even more important - what can she do to reverse it?

113// Crush Abdominal Pain & Get 90% of Your Energy Back [Client Testimonial Pt. 2 - Dessie]

Thu, 13 Oct 2022 11:00:00 -0400

Do you struggle with feeling like you eat and live healthy, but daily don’t FEEL healthy?
Do you ever feel like you might be making your symptoms up in your head, because other people like your doctor - or your lab results - aren’t saying there any reason WHY you could be feeling that way?
Or - have you ever gotten some improvement in your health after diet change or lifestyle change - only for your symptoms to start coming back?

If so, you’re like my client Dessie.

When Dessie started working with me, she was dealing with intense abdominal pain that would strike regularly and force her to stop anything she was doing. She was regularly being interrupted while cooking meals for her family, taking care of her children, or having family time in the evening while watching a movie or playing games.

She also was struggling with deep fatigue and consistent joint pain - that couldn’t be explained.

After trying many things - including doctor visits and dietary changes - Dessie joined the Foundations Program and got functional lab testing that finally explained why she was feeling the way she was - and told us what we could do about it.

If you’re dealing with abdominal pain, deep fatigue, and symptoms that just can’t be explained - buckle up, because you won’t want to miss this episode.

Note: On today’s episode, you’re listening to part 2 of Dessie’s story, after 6 months of working with me.
To hear more about Dessie’s story after only working with me 3 months, check out Ep. 35// Get Rid of Abdominal Pain, Joint Pain, and Fatigue, Lose 10 lbs., and Feel Better Than Ever [Client Testimonial – Dessie].

112// The Hidden Drivers Behind Anorexia - Libby Stenzel, RD

Thu, 06 Oct 2022 11:00:00 -0400

When it comes to anorexia and disordered eating, what is talked about the most are the behavioral and psychological drivers behind it.

But disordered eating, especially anorexia, is driven by more than just your mind. New research is finding that there are also neurobiological drivers - biochemical imbalances that act invisibly on the body.

These biochemical imbalances don’t need to be fixed with medication. In fact, the most common neurobiological driver for those with anorexia is zinc deficiency.

Yes. Zinc deficiency!

Zinc is the most common micronutrient deficiency in people with eating disorders, and symptoms of zinc deficiency are eerily similar to anorexia.

Symptom overlap includes:

Anxiety
Altered taste
Hormonal imbalances
Weight loss
…and even increased exercise!

On today's episode, I'm talking with Libby Stenzel, RD. Libby is a registered dietitian based in the Ann Arbor, Michigan, area, and an expert in anorexia and disordered eating. She specializes in helping people with disordered eating find healing and freedom with food, exercise, and body image.

Today, you’ll learn how you can find freedom from shame and fear with food, heal your body more while working at it less, along with how to harness the power of balancing your internal neurobiology to overcome anorexia and disordered eating.

In this conversation with Libby, I had insight into my own heath and experiences I had with food at the lowest point in my health in 2015.

I hope you have the same as you listen in on this fascinating conversation.

111// 5 Ways to Fight Fatigue, Abdominal Pain, and Muscle Weakness [Detox Pathway #7 - Spleen]

Thu, 29 Sep 2022 11:00:00 -0400

Do you feel like you are constantly fighting fatigue?
Do you have abdominal pain?
Are you struggling with muscles weakness, and you’re not building muscle, no matter how much you work out?
Or - do you struggle with iron deficiency, no matter how many iron supplements you take?

If so, your spleen may need some help detoxing!

The spleen is an often forgotten organ that is SUPER important to the body for helping keep you naturally toxin free. It helps filter blood, recycle iron in your body, clean up old red blood cells, and produce new cells to boost your immune system.

Basically, it’s your blood’s best friend and personal home cleaning system.

If your spleen isn’t doing so well, you’ll feel it as fatigue, weakness, and potentially abdominal pain.

So - How do you heal the spleen?

On today’s episode, I’m sharing with you 5 ways you can support your spleen and to fight your fatigue, abdominal pain, and muscle weakness.

110// 3 Steps to Lower Your Cholesterol Naturally and End PMS by Detoxing Your Liver [Detox Pathway #6 - Liver]

Thu, 22 Sep 2022 11:00:00 -0400

Do you have high cholesterol - despite eating well, exercising, and “being healthy”?
Do you struggle with painful periods, PMS, or hormonal acne?
Has your doctor ever been told you that youhave elevated liver enzymes?
Or do you deal with foggyheadedness, bloating, and waking up between 2-4 am regularly?

If so - these are ALL signs that you have a congested liver!

A congested liver is a non-diagnostic term to describe a liver that is not DISEASED, but is functioning sub-optimally. Your liver has LOTS of roles. It helps you digest, balance iron and glucose in your body, and detox.

If your liver is congested, it can’t keep up with all its roles, and you will suffer from a wide variety of symptoms.

Unfortunately, traditional doctors are neither trained to screen for a congested liver OR to teach YOU how you can heal your liver and help it function at it’s best again.

On today’s episode, I’m teaching you about the mighty liver, why your liver enzymes and cholesterol might be elevated, and 3 steps you can take to NATURALLY heal your liver.

And the best part about today’s episode is - You don’t need medication to make your liver healthy - or lower your cholesterol. You just need to know a little about the liver.

109//5 Ways to Fight Brain Fog and Fatigue [Detox Pathway #5 - Glymph]

Thu, 15 Sep 2022 11:00:00 -0400

Do you have brain fog you just can’t shake?
Is your memory getting worse, or focus seem impossible?
Does fatigue seem to be ruling your life?

If so, you may have a brain detox problem in your glymphatic system.

Your glymphatic system is a rarely talked about system in your brain that is responsible for transporting waste from INSIDE to OUTSIDE of your neural tissue.

If this system is compromised, you will not be able to detox metabolic waste and inflammatory substances from your brain. No matter how many supplements you take or foods you change to help clear your head, you will continue to struggle with brain fog, fatigue, and memory problems.

Therefore, in today’s episode, I’m teaching you 5 WAYS you can cleanse your brain by opening up your glymphatic system. I am so excited for you to regain clear, focused thinking by tapping into the magic of your glymphatic system.

Gut health issues, and the fallout of these conditions, such as fatigue and restrictive diets like low FODMAP's are often invisible. You go through life with few people knowing what you're struggling with on a day to day basis.

Today, I want to take a few moments to highlight 5 reasons you really ARE amazing.

Even if you haven’t healed 100% yet. Even if your health isn’t where you want it to be - I am so proud of you.

Here are 5 reasons you are awesome TODAY. And brave.

106// Clear Your Acne, Rashes, and Eczema [Detox Pathway #3 - Skin]

Thu, 25 Aug 2022 11:00:00 -0400

Do you struggle with adult acne?
Do you regularly get rashes or eczema flares?
Do you have a hard time working up a sweat?
Do you feel like your BO is worse than other people’s - or getting worse than it used to be?

If so, your skin is likely telling you it has a detox problem!

Today, we’re continuing our series on the 7 detox pathways by talking about the SKIN.

Skin’s purpose is to be a protective barrier that keeps out what needs to be on the outside, while is still PERMEABLE enough to excrete metabolic and toxic waste.

The KEY to helping your skin look the best it ever has is to care for what is both ON it and IN it. It’s not enough to wash our face and put creams on it. To truly have healthy skin on the outside, we need to support a healthy body on the inside.

On today’s episode, find out the most common INTERNAL factors involved in stubborn skin problems, and the simple steps you can take to have a fabulous skin AND body.

105// Clear Your Kidney Stones, UTI's, and Interstitial Cystitis [Detox Pathway #2 - Kidney]

Thu, 18 Aug 2022 11:00:00 -0400

Do you have to pee all the time?
Do you get UTI’s 1x per year or more?
Do you have problems with having symptoms of UTI’s, such as burning when you pee or a constant feeling that you need to pee, but your tests never come back positive for an infection?
Or - have you ever had a kidney stone? Or even multiple kidney stones?

If so, your kidneys may need some detox support!

On today’s episodes, we’re continuing our detox series on the 7 major pathways for detoxification with the KIDNEY.

Your kidneys and bladder are often forgotten about super-detoxers for the body. Your kidneys is responsible for filtering ALL of the blood in your body - up to 40 times per day! As it filters your blood, it pulls a variety of toxins and metabolic waste out; too much waste, though, and your kidneys and bladder can develop inflammation and toxic build-up resulting in pain, burning while urinating, and the all-feared kidney stones. Not only this, but those toxins that SHOULD be being filtered by the kidney may end up irritating other parts of your body as well.

If you are struggling with hormone imbalance symptoms, bloating, skin flare-ups, foggyheadedness, or joint and muscle pain - your kidneys may be the detox pathway you MOST need to pump up today.

103// Detoxing Is Not A Green Smoothie

Thu, 04 Aug 2022 11:00:00 -0400

Detoxing is one of those hot words that is thrown around in the health community like a cool-kid fad. “I need to detox.” “This product detoxes your body.” “I’m detoxing.” “I bought this infrared sauna to detox.”

But, as you might have figured out in your own life, just because you did something that is supposed to detox you - like green smoothies - it might not have cured all your problems. Why?

Turns out - there are 7 pathways to detoxing. AND - 3 steps to truly detox ANY toxin from your body.

On today’s episode, I’m going to be talking about these 7 pathways, 3 steps, green smoothies, and MORE. I am so excited to be jumping into this topic with you today.

It’s time to be empowered with knowledge.

102// The Key to Healing Your Gut Faster

Thu, 28 Jul 2022 11:00:00 -0400

If you’ve been on the gut health journey for any time at all now, this is the big question you’re always asking:

How can I finally get better?

You’ve tried all the normal gut health things. You’ve changed your diet. Maybe gone gluten free. Stuck to the low FODMAP diet. Done all the bloodwork and lab tests. But no doctor has helped you, and no blog post or meditation app has set you free from constantly trying to feel better.

On today’s episode, I’m talking about why you need a TEAM to crack your gut health, the key barriers that keep you from choosing your team, and how you can create the gut health team of your dreams to help you get from sick / stuck to free and fully you.

If you are ready to get over being stuck in your health - then this episode is for you!

101// This Is Your Sign to Rest

Thu, 21 Jul 2022 11:00:00 -0400

Recently, I noticed that when we talk about healing, how to heal ourselves, it is always in terms of more. DOING more.

More diet restrictions.
More supplements.
Different supplements.
Different exercise.
New doctor appointments.
Journal more.
Meditate more.
Be grateful - more.

And while there is merit to the idea that there is something out there that you aren't doing yet that may hold the key to your healing, the truth also is - we are terrified of slowing down. Period.

My podcast is guilty of this, too. I’ve definitely spent a majority of our episodes, by far, talking more about how you can DO more to heal yourself.

In the middle of all this, we NEED to rest to heal. But despite being so fatigued, I often hear my clients say, “I’m tired. Should I just push through my tiredness?”

WHY do we struggle so much with rest?

There are a lot of answers to this questions. But I believe, for those who are dealing with chronic illness and the whole just not feeling well thing, there is a particular tension we deal with with rest. I call it sick rest vs. healing rest.

On today’s episode, I’m talking about sick rest and healing rest - why they make it hard to rest as someone struggling with gut health problems, and how you can use both to work FOR you instead of AGAINST you.

If you are listening to this podcast episode today - this is your invitation to deep, meaningful rest.

100// End Bloating, Nausea, Constipation, and Food Confusion in 3 MONTHS with My Client Rachel

Thu, 14 Jul 2022 11:00:00 -0400

It’s episode 100!!!

It has been a wild ride since I started this podcast in the fall of 2020, and since then - I did the math - I’ve helped over a hundred women change their lives by getting rid of their bloating, constipation, fatigue, PMS pain, insomnia, by helping them HEAL. THEIR. GUT.

So, to celebrate 100 episodes and over a hundred lives changed, I am bringing you yet ANOTHER story of a client of mine going from sick and stuck to strong and mobile.

My client, Rachel, came to me last year in chronic pain, with constant bloating, unsure about what to eat, unable to sleep, experiencing unexplained nausea, and with no answers from doctors.

In just over 3 months, we turned things around for her so that she could go out to eat with her husband and have NO anxiety, feel rested after she slept, be able to travel without pain or discomfort, and feel like she UNDERSTOOD her body again.

If you are wondering if you can heal YOUR chronic pain and bloating, constipation, or IBS symptoms, then this episode is for you!

Thu, 07 Jul 2022 11:00:00 -0400

Sometimes, the hardest part of chronic illness is the disappointments of a health journey gone wrong.

In today's episode, I use my recent story of labor and delivery of my first child to discuss how to deal with disappointment in your health journey when it doesn't look how you thought it would.

Spoiler alert: my labor and delivery did NOT go how I expected it would ever go. But using these 5 steps, I helped myself heal emotionally even as I worked to heal my body physically.

98// 3 Things Adrenal Fatigue Is Telling You About Your Body

Thu, 30 Jun 2022 11:00:00 -0400

Chronic fatigue is a commonly felt symptom for anyone struggling with any chronic illness - let alone gut health problems.

Adrenal fatigue, within the category of chronic fatigue, is fatigue that is sourced in the adrenal glands. Historically, chronic fatigue and adrenal fatigue can be very frustrating for those with it because, as is often true with any chronic illness, it’s unclear either what is causing the fatigue or what you can do to actually REVERSE the fatigue.

But there is a tool out there to that STOPS making fatigue so vague and hard to treat.

Using functional lab testing in our office, or testing designed to find the root cause of a given symptom or condition, I help my clients every day to figure out not only the SOURCE of their fatigue but also the KEY STEPS they can take to get their energy back.

Yup. you heard me. No more GUESSING on how to get your energy back. No more wasting time or money buying B12 and CoQ10, taking lots of naps, or drinking coffee.

On today’s episode, we’re going to go WAY beyond taking adaptogens and herbs to battle your fatigue. Instead, I’m going to give you the EXACT tools and methods I use with my clients to turn their fatigue into their highway for success.

You ready? Let’s jump in.

97// IBS - Can You Really End It?

Thu, 23 Jun 2022 11:00:00 -0400

Today's episode is recorded in honor of the fact that, of the 25 to 45 million people in the US diagnosed with IBS, there is very little conversation out there on how IBS can be put into remission.

There is, instead, a resignation at most, or frustration at the least, that IBS is a permanent situation.

Due to everything from doctors saying IBS is permanent to the years of struggle people undergo (even with trying multiple routes to try and quench their IBS such as the low FODMAP diet and probiotics), so many people with IBS that feel they are STUCK with their bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and food sensitivities.

I used to feel this way, myself, but after discovering (and researching my butt off) on the nature and origin of IBS, I found that not only had I found the secrets (aka: things not talked about on the internet or in my doctor’s office) to put my own IBS into remission, but I also was successfully helping others say goodbye to their IBS as well.

So today’s episode is dedicated to all of you out there who have ever been told by your doctor, nutritionist, family member, or even yourself that you just can’t get rid of your IBS. Because - you can.

96// How to Permanently Heal Your Gut [Client Testimonial - One Year Later]

Thu, 16 Jun 2022 11:00:00 -0400

Have you ever experienced the problem in your health of doing something that gets you results short term, but within a year later, your symptoms have returned?
Have you ever wondered what happens to clients at other office after they finish working with their health practitioners?
Have you ever wanted to hear from someone else their story of investing in their health - and knowing - was it worth it?

If so, today’s episode is for you!

On today’s episode, I am interviewing my former client, Abby Herman, 1+ year after finishing working with us.

Abby came onto the podcast all the way back on Ep. 13 to share with us her 3 month progress update after working in our Foundations Program. And now, she’s coming back almost a hundred episodes later to update us on what her life - and gut health - has been like since leaving.

I know I myself have struggled with yo-yo fixes in my gut health, and so I am so excited to bring this episode to you today as encouragement that you, too, can find long-term healing in your gut.

95// Supplements - Do You Really Need Them?

Thu, 09 Jun 2022 11:00:00 -0400

When clients first start working with me, I regularly hear this question: Do I really need supplements?

It’s a reasonable question.

The supplement industry in the US alone is valued at $151.9 billion, as of 2021. As with all things that yield great money - and can cost great money - the big question is - does it have to be this way?

Add on top of that the very common experience of taking supplements and STILL not getting better, and the skepticism increases.

So on today’s episode, we are going to discuss this important question - do you really need supplements? We’re going to get to the root of the problem so you can be wisest with your health, your wallet, and your ability to get better.

94// How to Keep Any Habit You Make

Thu, 02 Jun 2022 11:00:00 -0400

Have you ever started a healthy habit, kept it for a season, and then dropped off doing it?
Have you ever kept a habit for the amount of time it’s supposed to take to establish a habit - then stopped doing it still?
Have you ever been frustrated with your ability to keep a habit for some time, but then you feel like you always end up back-sliding on it later?

If so, you are not unlike both me and my clients whom I work with.

Habits are key to health, and for those of us on a health journey, we WANT to develop and keep new habits that give us the energy, focus, and power we want in life.

But if habits are so good for us - why are they so draining to keep?

On today’s episode, I’m going to be talking about the missing link between keeping a habit for weeks or months and making a habit for a lifetime.

There’s literally only ONE thing missing between keeping a habit with willpower and keeping a habit that continues to sustain itself. This makes the habit load a WHOLE lot easier - not heavier!

Habits can be hard, so I am so excited to bring today’s episode to you!

93// Stop Struggling with Stomach Pain, Constipation, and Fatigue [Client Testimonial - Sydney]

Thu, 26 May 2022 11:00:00 -0400

This month, we’ve been going through a series on fascia and how this un-talked about connective tissue in the body can MASSIVELY impact gut health.

Fascia is the key structure I work with in my clinic using craniosacral therapy and visceral manipulation, and it’s the other-half of the work we do at Better Belly Therapies alongside functional lab testing and our Foundations Program.

And on today’s episode, you are going to hear about Sydney - a real client in my clinic who recently worked with me for three months doing BOTH Craniosacral Therapy & Visceral Manipulation and functional lab testing to completely reverse her gut health troubles.

When I met Sydney, she was struggling with chronic gastric pain, constipation and diarrhea, bloating, fatigue, and waking up in the middle of the night. She was on a restricted diet, recommended by her doctor, that wasn’t getting her results - and nothing else she tried was healing her gut.

As a grad student and PhD candidate, Sydney needed her body to be at top performance to focus on her studies and research, but no matter what she did, she wasn’t getting better.

In just three months, Sydney how has NO constipation or diarrhea, NO stomach pain, and she now regularly sleeps through the night.

If you want to learn more about fascia and what we’re talking about here with craniosacral therapy and visceral manipulation, check out our Fascia 101 episode 90 to learn more about what fascia is, why you should care about it, how you can know if your fascia is impacting your gut health and, if so, what you can do about it.

But for now - let’s jump into Sydney’s story!

92// Difficult Time Swallowing Pills? End The Struggle with Visceral Manipulation

Thu, 19 May 2022 11:00:00 -0400

Do you dread taking pills - knowing that they are ALWAYS uncomfortable to swallow?
Do you have to take pills with yogurt, in food, applesauce, or with excessive water or juice to get it to go down?
Or - Do you avoid eating certain foods such as carrots or chips, knowing they always - or often - get stuck in your throat or chest?

If so, you are like one in 25 people who will report symptoms of difficulty swallowing - or dysphagia - in their lifetime.

Or, you’re one of the 1 in 3 people who report difficulty swallowing pills.

But - why are pills and food so difficult to swallow?

Were we humans really not built to swallow pills - and certain other foods - or is there something else going on?

If you know me - you know that I don’t take any gut health symptom lying down. On today’s episode, I’m going to share with you all that I’ve learned in my 6 years of working with gut health problems. Because guess what? You don’t have to be stuck with painful or difficult swallowing. And likely, if you have these symptoms, this one easy solution with solve not only your swallowing but a myriad of other connected problems.

91// The Fascia Solution to Acid Reflux

Thu, 12 May 2022 16:00:00 -0400

On today’s episode, we are continuing a conversation we’ve had on this podcast multiple times, but with a totally new perspective: Acid Reflux.

According to a National Gastrointestinal Survey in 2015 with over 70,000 participants, 30% of these participants experience acid reflux on a weekly basis. And within that group, another 35% of participants experience acid reflux even WITH taking PPI’s - a pharmaceutical designed to block acid production in the stomach and - theoretically - end acid reflux.

Among the participants, younger individuals, women, Latino individuals, and participants with irritable bowel syndrome or Crohn’s disease were more likely to have continued GERD symptoms, even when taking PPIs.

So - the big question -

Why do we get acid reflux?
And why does acid reflux persist, even after taking medication and pharmaceuticals?

On today’s episode, I’m diving into a rarely discussed topic in acid reflux that is KEY is solving this stubborn GI problem - fascial restrictions.

Continuing with our series from last week, I’m going to teach you about how your physical body is perpetuating your acid reflux, what key anatomical structures are involved in acid reflux, and at the end of the show, I’m going to teach you three practical steps you can use TODAY to evaluate if your fascia is causing your stubborn acid reflux.

90// Fascia 101: The Hidden Force Behind Bloating, Constipation, and IBS

Thu, 05 May 2022 11:00:00 -0400

Have you ever wondered:

Why abdominal pain makes you want to hunch over?
Why you can restrict food and avoid food sensitivities and STILL get bloating, abdominal pain, constipation, and acid reflux?
Have you ever jammed your fist into your belly, feeling there was something wrong deep inside - you just didn’t know what?

If so - today’s episode is for you!

On today’s episode, we are getting into a topic that I am VERY passionate about and that doesn’t get talked about much in the gut health world - Fascia.

If you’ve never heard of it - no worries. I’m going to be explaining what it is and WHY you want to care about it.

And if you HAVE heard of it, you may be thinking - Allison, doesn’t fascia have to do with muscles and pain and stuff? What does it have to do with the gut?

Oh. So much my friend. Glad you asked!

Fascia is at the root of what I study as a Visceral Manipulation and Craniosacral Therapy Practitioner, and it’s has been the key to many of my clients in making a 180-degree turn from their acid reflux, constipation, bloating, and more.

If you are ready to get to the ROOT of your gut health problems - today’s episode is for you.

89// The Gut-Allergy Connection: Tracing Childhood Allergies To The Gut and Into Adulthood

Thu, 28 Apr 2022 11:00:00 -0400

On today’s first Ask Allison episode, we will be discussing a question I received on the gut-allergy connection and how childhood allergies are connected to the gut and beyond.

By the end of today’s episode, you’ll understand a little bit more about how you can help environmental allergies to things such as pollen actually REDUCE - without needing to use pharmaceuticals - by looking into your gut and your childhood. And we’ll also be talking about something we haven’t done so yet on the podcast - ear infections.

I am so excited to bring you this multi-faceted episode!

And if you’d like to hear a question of YOURS answered on the podcast, I’ll also be sharing how you can submit your own question and possibly be featured in an upcoming episode.

88// Craniosacral Therapy for Fussy Infants with Colic and Reflux, with Lori Hendrickson CST

Thu, 21 Apr 2022 11:00:00 -0400

Do you have a colic-y baby?

Does it seem that, no matter how many lactation or sleep consultants you talk to, that your baby just CANNOT sleep or eat without crying, discomfort, and struggle?

Does your baby or child snore, have emotional regulation problems, or seem to ALWAYS be cranky?

If you said YES to any of these, your child or infant may have a tongue or lip tie, and likely has restrictions throughout his or her fascia of her body!

On today’s episode, I got to interview Lori Hendrickson CST. Or, as I like to call her, The Baby Whisperer Extraordinaire.

Lori takes us through the different signs of an infant or child with tongue or lip ties, what common practices in child-rearing are possibly HARMING your child’s fascial development, and how you can help your child go from struggling to thriving in their health.

As a craniosacral therapist myself, I LOVED this interview with Lori. It is packed fully of juicy information, and I hope it brings you hope and inspiration that your child can still be a happy feeder and sleeper - even if it hasn’t worked for you yet!

87// IBS and Pregnancy: My Top Tips to Have An IBS-Free Pregnancy

Thu, 14 Apr 2022 11:00:00 -0400

If you have ever been pregnant, or heard a pregnant woman talk about what it’s like to be pregnant, you may realize that pregnancy is one, big IBS trap.

What do I mean by this?

Of the top symptoms that comes with IBS - bloating, constipation, and acid reflux - all of these symptoms are things that women talk about who are pregnant - whether or not they had IBS before getting pregnant.

So for a woman who DOES have IBS and then gets pregnant - pregnancy can often become a magnifier for IBS symptoms.

What is a girl to do?

On today’s episode, I walk you through my top tips for each trimester of pregnancy for how I kept my IBS at bay, and how I mistyfied my doctors with my lack of complaints of the normal symptoms of pregnancy.

Whether you are pregnant or trying to get pregnant, I want to teach YOU how you can achieve the same results and achieve an IBS free pregnancy.

86// Overcome Infertility with Sarah Clark of Fab Fertile Inc.

Thu, 07 Apr 2022 11:00:00 -0400

Does pregnancy seem like an impossible goal for you?
Have you been struggling with fertility, trying method after method to get pregnant - and nothing seems to work?
Do you ever feel like you don’t know if you can have hope to get pregnant? Or, do you wonder if you’ll have to rely on an external method, such as donor eggs, to get pregnant?

Infertility, unfortunately, is becoming more and more common.

According to recent studies in 2022, up to 1 in 8 couples will have trouble getting pregnant or sustaining pregnancy in their lifetime. And an estimated 9-11% of men and women will struggle with fertility problems. Infertility is becoming common, but that does not mean it is normal.

On today’s episode, I am joined by Sarah Clark, integrative health coach and founder of Fab Fertile Inc. Sarah is an expert in all things fertility, and on today’s episode, we discuss the method behind Sarah’s Signature Fertility Coaching Program and how they help their clients not only heal from infertility but find the root cause of their infertility journey.

Almost an entire year ago, I recorded this podcast episode with Sarah Clark, the founder of Fab Fertile Inc., discussing what is causing couples to struggle with infertility. And oddly enough - it’s a lot of the same things that our clients at Better Belly Therapies come to us with who are struggling with gut health problems.

Intrigued? I know I was!

Whether or not you have struggled with or are currently struggling with infertility, many of us know someone who is (or will) struggle with it.

So I invite you - come, listen, and learn on today's podcast!

85// End the Bloat, Balance Your Mood, Reduce Pain, and Get Amazing Sleep with my client Julie

Thu, 31 Mar 2022 11:00:00 -0400

Have you had bloating and sleep problems for the last decade?

Has it seemed like nothing you do has worked?

Are you afraid to make changes to your health - because it's hard, and because...what if it doesn't work?

If so, you are like my client Julie.

Julie is full-time entrepreneur and working mom in Canada who can do EVERYTHING right in her business - but has not been able to figure out her health.

After 6 months in our Foundations Program, though, this is no longer the case!

Julie started working with me feeling uncomfortable all the time due to bloating and gas, with pain in her neck and shoulders that no massage could fix, and with poor sleep that no amount of sleep hygiene could alter.

She was also going through menopause, and despite taking specific herbs to try and support the transition, menopause was making her MISERABLE. And I mean - moody miserable.

It was affecting her work, her kids, and her experience of her day-to-day life.

Now, Julie is sleeping through the night, she doesn't have to fight her mood anymore, and she feels GOOD after she eats!

How did she do it?

84// A New Way to Address IBS: Combining Craniosacral Therapy and Visceral Manipulation with Functional Lab Testing

Thu, 24 Mar 2022 11:00:00 -0400

If you have IBS, you have experience with it NOT being a straight-forward diagnosis to get rid of.

Or bury.

Or heal.

You have probably tried everything recommended by doctors, nutritionists, and blog posts online.

--> The Low FODMAP diet. Colonoscopies. Endoscopies. Gluten free. Dairy free. More fiber. More water. Less stress.

You name it - you've done it.

But have you done THIS therapy?

You might ask -

What therapy, Allison?

I'm talking about Craniosacral Therapy and Visceral Manipulation. AND Functional Lab Testing. Together.

This is a POWERFUL combo of therapies for our clients with IBS. Just this week, I had a client tell me that her constipation had completely cleared up after a session of Visceral Manipulation with me. In that session, we worked on restrictions in her chest (her chest!) that was impacting her large intestine via her diaphragm and restricted breathing patterns.

This client ALSO has found several pathogens in her body using functional lab testing, and has begun to address heavy metals in her body as well as previously un-identified food sensitivities that were stressing her body OUT.

On today's podcast episode, I talk all about what Craniosacral Therapy and Visceral Manipulation are, how to know if you need them, and why they are so powerful to combine with functional lab testing.

Because your body is WORTH more than just one therapy to get full and complete healing. You with me?

Thu, 17 Mar 2022 11:00:00 -0400

According to research done by UCLA, up to 60% of patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) also have Fibromyalgia, and up to 70% of patients with Fibromyalgia have IBS.

Having struggled with IBS myself, I remember in my worst years wondering if I ALSO had Fibromyalgia.

Brain fog. Fatigue. Chronic pain. Stiffness. Depression. I had it all.

Over my years working with clients with IBS or other gut health problems, I've also seen an increasing number of my IBS clients who have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia - or have Fibromyalgia-like symptoms. As I worked more with these clients and took extra courses in functional medicine, I was surprised to learn that there IS a link between Fibromyalgia AND IBS.

The amazing part of this news?

The link between Fibro and IBS is part of the answer to healing both of them. At the same time.

On today's episode, I cover the two invisible (but findable!) sources of pain, brain fog, and fatigue in both Fibromyalgia AND IBS.

On this episode, you'll learn:

How to test for these invisible sources of pain
How they got in your body in the first place
And steps you can take to get them out

I hope you're ready - because this episode is about to blow your mind!

82// 5 Reasons Autoimmune Diagnoses Don't Have to Be Scary

Thu, 24 Feb 2022 10:00:00 -0400

Have you ever felt like your illness or condition was “too hard” for a health practitioner to handle?

Does your diagnosis ever feel like a life sentence? Haunting you everywhere you go, yet invisible to those around you?

Have you ever wished you just DIDN’T have the disease, illness, or even the body you had?

If so, you are like many of our clients we have worked with.

And I understand, I’ve been there. I’ve asked God why I had the body I did, what I did wrong to get here, or why I couldn’t have a different body.

Yet along the pathway to my internal healing, I have found that having a chronic illness or autoimmune diagnosis is actually not as scary as I once thought it to be.

I’m not as stuck or as powerless as I used to believe. My body (and myself) is actually a GIFT! To myself, to others, and to the world.

The best thing is - our clients are learning the same things for themselves every day.

How is this happening?

On today’s episode, I am going to share with you 5 reasons that your autoimmune diagnosis or chronic illness doesn’t have to be scary OR overwhelming - even if it sometimes feels like it is.

If you have any Autoimmune Disease, including:

Fibromyalgia
Crohn's
Ulcerative Colitis
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Endometriosis
Interstitial Cystitis

Then this episode is for you!

81// 6 Most Common Causes of IBS

Thu, 17 Feb 2022 10:00:00 -0400

Do you have an IBS diagnosis?

If so, you may know that it’s not a particularly specific diagnosis.

It could be diarrhea, constipation, OR both. Plus the wide array of symptoms from bloating to anxiety, and beyond.

IBS is, by nature, a catch-all diagnosis. You can find that IN the name - Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

A syndrome, in the medical world, refers to a disease state with a recognizable pattern of symptoms but lacking in consistent or known causes.

So if you have a syndrome, the cause is unknown, what can you do about it? (And what can you do about it instead of going on a diet like the Low FODMAP diet?)

Do you have any hope of getting rid of it?

In the case of IBS, the answer is a resounding YES.

In today's episode, I’m sharing with you the 6 most common causes of IBS that we are seeing at Better Belly Therapies.

80// "Am I broken? Am I unfixable?" Questions and Answers from 50 Women We've Talked With at Better Belly Therapies

Thu, 10 Feb 2022 10:00:00 -0400

Over the past two years, we’ve had over 50 women apply to work with us at Better Belly Therapies to do our signature gut healing program - the Foundations Program.

Part of the process of working with us is filling out our Qualifying Call Application - a series of questions that gathers all the necessary data for me and my team to decide if we can help the woman who is applying to work with us.

On today’s podcast, I’m sharing the results from nearly 50 women’s responses to the Qualifying Call application. These responses are all from women that we approved to talk with, and who qualified to work with us.

Their responses include SO much information:

- How long they’ve been feeling sick

- Their top 5 symptoms

- What they’ve tried - and what hasn’t worked

- If they’ve done labs

- And more!

I feel called to share this data with you all. Many women have asked questions while meeting with our team, like: “Am I broken?” “Am I unfixable?” “Have you ever heard this before?”

There’s a common feeling of loneliness in the journey.

But they aren’t alone. By sharing this episode, I want you to know that YOU aren’t alone either.

I invite you to sit back and listen. Do you sound like one of these women? Is their story like yours?

If their stories DO resonate with you, I want you to know: You are not alone, and most importantly, you are not stuck.

79// Overcoming a Decade of IBS, Weight Gain, Sleep Problems, and Fatigue - Testimonial with my client Becca

Thu, 03 Feb 2022 10:00:00 -0400

Have you struggled with Gut issues for a decade - or more?

Have you gone to multiple doctors, even GI specialists, and never gotten an answer? Or maybe the answer was simply a diagnosis of IBS?

Have you felt like there was more going on in your body, yet couldn’t figure it out with the doctor’s help?

Did you have other problems like sleep issues, weight gain, and fatigue?

Have you tried everything from elimination diets to building sleep hygiene habits - and you just didn’t know what else to do?

If you’ve answered yes to a few of these, you’ll relate to my client Becca!

On her final 6 month follow up call, she allowed us to share her story on air. We hope sharing her story encourages women like YOU and shares a message: you are NOT stuck.

Join me today as Becca reflects on her journey, what we found that her doctors didn’t, and how she overcame a decade of gut issues in just six months!

78// How Long Should It Take Me to Heal?

Thu, 27 Jan 2022 10:00:00 -0400

“How long?”

It’s a valuable question; relevant to anyone starting a journey.

Knowing the length of a journey prepares us for the road ahead, psychologically and practically.

It’s SO important, we’ve already released a podcast episode on the hero’s journey and how it relates to health!

In health, especially in gut health, asking how long tends to get you a shoulder shrug. An evasive answer. Sometimes even a definite answer (‘for the rest of your life’).

It’s my goal to provide something more tangible in response to this question. As a student of health and of my clients, I keep close notes on how many and what type of clients are healing at what rate.

What’s a reasonable rate of healing to share with someone when they ask (or are at least wondering) how long this will take? What can I share from knowledge, and what can I share from experience?

After two years of working with clients doing functional lab testing, my team and I recently updated our signature program, the Foundations Program. The update mirrors what we’ve found to be true about the time it takes to heal from gut health problems, plus the specific, consistent stages of healing that we’re seeing in our clients.

77// Is Money Holding You Back From Your Best Self? with Financial Therapist, Lindsay Bryan-Podvin

Thu, 20 Jan 2022 10:00:00 -0400

People are more willing to talk about politics, religion, or sex - than we are willing to talk about money.

Did you grow up in a household where it was impolite to talk about money?

Do you feel shame about how much money you have, or don’t have, or wished you had?

Have you noticed that, no matter how much money you make, you still feel anxiety around money?

Have you ever felt shame or guilt about a decision you made with money - especially in your health?

If so - today’s podcast is for you!

On today’s episode, we’re talking with Financial Therapist Lindsay Bryan-Podvin about the emotional side of money. Money is way more than just a budget and spreadsheet. Money is also about the thoughts and emotions we have behind it. Our history forms our relationship with it, and that relationship can impact our future!

76// Heal Your Fibromyalgia - Client Testimonial with my client Sharon

Thu, 13 Jan 2022 10:00:00 -0400

According to the Center for Disease Control in America, Fibromyalgia currently affects about 4 million US adults, or about 2% of the American population.

Of these cases, 75-90% of those diagnosed with Fibromyalgia are women.

Fibromyalgia is a pain disorder with unknown causes and origins, and for anyone diagnosed with it in the US, most solutions for fibromyalgia are focused on mediating pain - not healing it.

On today’s episode, I interviewed my client Sharon, who was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in her 40’s. Since then, she has tried everything she knew to try to help her chronic fatigue, pain, stiffness, and brain fog. Diet, food restrictions, doctors, medications, supplements, hydrotherapy, massage - you name it.

Now, just three months into working with me in my signature Foundations Program, Sharon has NO pain, is able to exercise 5 days a week, and she has achieved her main goal in our work - to be able to attend her granddaughter’s soccer games.

I am SO excited to share today's podcast episode with you!

75// Blood Lab Bootcamp is OPEN! - 5 Reasons You Might Not Want to Take BLB - But Still Should!

Thu, 06 Jan 2022 10:00:00 -0400

I'm so excited to announce Blood Lab Bootcamp is open for enrollment this week, for one week only from January 5th to 12th!

Are you uncertain Blood Lab Bootcamp is right for you?

If so, this episode is for you!

Whether your objections to this course are fueled by fear, finances, uncertainty, or even disbelief, this episode covers it!

In health, testing requires an investment of time and money.

However, guessing ALSO requires an investment.

Often the investment of guessing can include emotions, lost time, no sense of direction, sunk costs of treatments that didn’t help or were a symptom bandaid.

If you ARE uncertain, I have one question for you:

What is the cost of not moving forward?

73// Surprise - I'm Pregnant!! How My First and Second Pregnancy Compare (Totally Different!) and How I Used Bloodwork to Overcome Miscarriage and Get Pregnant Again

Thu, 23 Dec 2021 10:00:00 -0400

Our current episode series is all about how being able to read your own blood work from your doctor is a MUST for every woman.

Every episode topic, from the thyroid to acid reflux to client testimonials, has led to the upcoming launch of Blood Lab Bootcamp. This online course is going LIVE for registration very soon at the turn of the new year - Jan 5th through 12th.

Today, I’m sharing another testimonial on how bloodwork changed a life. But this time - it’s mine!

Last year, I got pregnant for the first time. And on the week of Christmas 2020, I found out that my pregnancy was not viable.

I used two simple blood markers on my blood labs from my doctor in the months after my miscarriage to guide my care for myself and prep my body for my next pregnancy - to keep and to hold to full term.

I’ve already shared some of my journey with ya’ll on Episodes 27 and 56. Those episodes are linked in the show notes, but if you’re ready to begin on the HAPPY side of this story - keep on listening. We’re about to dive in!

Thu, 16 Dec 2021 10:00:00 -0400

Have you ever noticed that no matter how many times or how often you take Iron and Vitamin D, your doctor keeps telling you that they’re low?

Supplements are an investment, especially if you’re trying hard in your health through supplementation.

The sunk cost of supplements that don’t make a difference in your health adds up!

70// SIBO: The 2 Reasons Why SIBO Has a 50% Recurrence Rate + How to Overcome SIBO and the Low FODMAP Diet

Thu, 02 Dec 2021 10:00:00 -0400

Have you ever had SIBO?

Do you think you might have SIBO?

Or - are you the one out of every 2 people who have gotten SIBO - only to get it again? (SIBO has a 50% recurrence rate in individuals who have had it before!)

Whether you are one of the above, or just a curious listener trying to make sense of all things gut and information out there, then today’s episode is just for you.

I’ve had several clients now that I’ve worked with who have been checked for SIBO, had SIBO, or been worked with to get rid of their SIBO prior to working with me.

When they start working with me, I have consistently found TWO factors that are impacting these client’s health. These two missing puzzle pieces to healing from SIBO have consistently NOT been checked for by other practitioners.

Of our clients who we’ve worked with who have had SIBO - all of them have healed from SIBO completely, and no longer require to be on the low FODMAP or any other restricted diet to keep their gut clean and healthy.

If you want to know the two most common reasons that I see SIBO recurring in our clients - you are in the right episode!

69// How to Naturally Lower Your Cholesterol - Without Having to Give Up Fat or Meat

Our doctors constantly hammer us about our cholesterol. Are we eating too much meat? Red meat? Fatty meat? Egg yolks?

If our cholesterol is high, there’s shame and stigma surrounding that number. (PS. I have tons of slender, even “healthy”, clients with high cholesterol. Their doctors literally don’t know what to do with them).

If our cholesterol is fine, right now, we’re terrified of if it ever goes high.

If our cholesterol is low - doctor’s don’t even talk too much about that. But it happens. And it is something my clients - and you - may be dealing with.

I was really touched when one of our students on a Blood Lab Bootcamp live call shared that both she and her mom had high cholesterol. They were recommended by their doctors to take statins. They were hesitant to do so because statins have SO MANY SIDE EFFECTS and are a for-life drug.

This client of mine was FASCINATED by how much information was included in Blood Lab Bootcamp about all the reasons that cholesterol can be high and HOW MANY OPTIONS SHE HAD TO HELP LOWER IT. Options that were unrelated to statins, medication, OR shaming oneself into lower cholesterol!

In today's episode, I’m debunking cholesterol myths about:

Cholesterol’s link to food (it’s not linked to fatty food)
How cholesterol gets raised (and lowered!)
How balancing your cholesterol levels actually improves your ENTIRE HEALTH (not just heart health!)

68// 10 Markers on Your Average Bloodwork You Can Review TODAY to Find the Root Cause of Your Acid Reflux

Thu, 18 Nov 2021 10:00:00 -0400

Do you struggle with acid reflux?

Between 20-30% of Americans have acid reflux symptoms every week. That’s almost one third of Americans every week!

According to the World Journal of Gastroenterology in a study of more than 6,000 patients, 63% of people with IBS ALSO have acid reflux / or GERD.

On top of that, IBS affects women in a 2:1 ratio compared to men. So the overwhelming majority of people with IBS are women, and the majority of these women with IBS also have GERD.

Safe to say - I have a lot of clients with acid reflux and ALL the symptoms that come with it.

It’s a common problem, with a common solution - that doesn’t work. Acid reducing medications - PPI’s, or antacids - never SOLVE the problem of acid reflux. They merely mask it, or make it manageable. Sort of.

However, with every client I’ve worked with, we’ve been able to reduce their acid reflux 70-100% by following our unique pathway and assessment process we have for acid reflux.

One of the first steps in this process is something you can do RIGHT NOW with basic blood work you have at home, and it’s something I teach IN DEPTH in my course Blood Lab Bootcamp, which is reopening for registration on January 5.

Blood Lab Bootcamp is all about you learning how to analyze your most common blood lab work ordered by your doctor using functional medicine analysis methods so you can find the ROOT cause of your health problems and stop spinning your wheels between supplements and doctor appointments.

In today’s episode, I’m going to do a quick fly-by on 10 markers that I consistently use to find the root cause of acid reflux. Are you guys ready? Let’s jump in.

67// How to Reduce Your Endometriosis, Brain Fog, Eczema, Low Energy, Irritability, and Sleep Problems by 40%+ in 3 Months with My Client, Jessica

Thu, 11 Nov 2021 10:00:00 -0400

With Blood Lab Bootcamp reopening on Jan 5th in the new year, 2022, I wanted to introduce y’all to some of my clients whose lives have changed by being able to read their blood labs using functional analysis methods!

On today’s episode, you’ll meet my client, Jessica. When Jessica came to me she had been struggling most of her life with hormonal imbalance, weight gain, skin problems, low energy/mood, and had been diagnosed with endometriosis and adenomyosis.

She had already spent lots of time and money on her health doing all the things conventional doctors had recommended: bloodwork, surgery, and medication.

Tired of her problems and not knowing where to turn, Jessica’s life changed when we analyzed her blood labs from a functional medicine perspective. As she said of the results, “They [lab markers] couldn’t have been normal - not with the way I felt.”

I am so excited to share with you ALL the changes she’s experiencing - and it all started with a little blood work!

66// 6 Reasons Your Doctor is Reading Your Blood Labs Wrong + How You Can Do It Better

Thu, 04 Nov 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Back in March of this year, 2021, I released a podcast episode titled “Why Your Doctor Says Your Labs Look Normal When You Don’t Feel Normal.”

I recorded this episode on the heels of my first pregnancy and subsequent miscarriage. At the time, I was doing some serious detective work with my blood labs!

The miscarriage and discoveries in my blood labs drove me to record my initial thesis on why doctors are not reading your labs right. Creating that episode got me thinking:

What if every woman could read her blood labs?

What if women, and men, didn’t need to take their doctor’s word for it anymore?

What if we had power, and understanding, in our own hands to negotiate and communicate clearly?

What if we had data that PROVED we were gaslighting ourselves, and stopped all the self-doubt and feelings that we’re making up our symptoms.

We do. We have the data. It’s in our blood. We just don’t know how to read it!

From this, the idea for Blood Lab Bootcamp was born. Today, I’m happy to announce that, as of January 5, 2022, my premier course Blood Lab Bootcamp will be launching a second time for our second round of students.

As part of that announcement, I am going to share with you the 6 reasons your doctor is reading your labs wrong PLUS how YOU can learn how to do it better.

I am so excited for Blood Lab Bootcamp, and it’s my goal that by the end of this episode and over the course of the next two months, you’ll understand why and will be, too!

65// Is Perfectionism Driving Your Gut Health Journey? PLUS 4 Steps to Eliminating Perfectionism in Your Health

Thu, 28 Oct 2021 09:00:00 -0400

PERFECTIONISM…

According to Brene Brown, “Perfectionism is the addictive belief that if we can appear perfect, we can avoid shame.”

Have you ever wondered if what you were doing in your health was driven by a healthy desire to improve?

Or if it was driven by an unbending force demanding you to do everything perfectly?

In this week’s episode, let’s discuss how to identify if fear and shame are manifesting in your health. I’ll also share 4 steps you can take today to slowly get out from under the pressure and demand of perfectionism!

64// Chaos, Order, and Hell: How to Walk Through Valleys and Mountains In Your Health

Thu, 21 Oct 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Have you ever felt that your health journey was simply chaotic?

Have you ever felt that your health journey was a type of living hell, one you didn’t know how to get out of?

Have you ever felt that all you wanted in your health, and life, was a little order? Some clear next steps that would work? And a path that would get you - and keep you - healthy?

I recently finished the book “12 Rules for Life” by Jordan B Peterson, and these elements of chaos, order, and hell hit me strongly in his book. Jordan B Peterson is a renowned psychologist who is on a mission to make sense of life. He combines philosophy, psychology, and the importance of story to create human meaning to explore subjects such as suffering, failing in life, and succeeding.

When I originally read this book, I had no idea that I would connect to it so strongly in terms of health. But the more I read, the more parallels I saw to what Jordan was saying and the experience that both I and my clients go through in our health.

Therefore, I wanted to dedicate an episode to Jordan’s three major concepts in his book, 12 Rules for Life: chaos, order, and hell.

In today’s podcast, I’m going to map out what it means to walk through chaos, order, and hell in our health journey, how all three are necessary for true healing and growth, and what it looks like to walk well through each well.

56// What I've Been Doing in My Health Since My Miscarriage + Registration is OPEN!!

Thu, 26 Aug 2021 09:00:00 -0400

According to research, 10-15% of pregnancies end in miscarriage.

That means that for about every 1 in 10 pregnancies, one ends up in miscarriage.

It, however, does not mean that 1 in 10 women will experience a miscarriage. As of now in the US, 80% of child-bearing women have more than one child. So - while 1 in 10 of known pregnancies end in miscarriage, researchers estimate that as many as 1 in 3 women have a miscarriage.

With that in mind, I knew that the moment that I experienced my miscarriage this January, I didn’t want to keep it a secret.

On today’s episode, I’m going to share what I’ve been doing in my health since my miscarriage, and steps I’ve taken to shed any light I could find on clues my body was giving me about its health.

Whether or not you’ve had a miscarriage, or ever want to be pregnant, my goal on today’s episode is to share with you about the power you can have in your health when your body breaks down in a way that you weren’t expecting it to and you don’t know how to respond.

Also - Registration for Blood Lab Bootcamp is now OPEN!

There's only 25 slots for participants this time around, so if you want to take control of your health and discover the next steps in your health through being able to read your own blood labs and finding what your doctor missed (and they did miss something!), register now!

Registration closes for Blood Lab Bootcamp when the course fills OR on Sept. 8.

And, as a reminder, this course will NEVER be this price again. It is a total steal because I want as MANY people to be able to join as possible. Now is the time to get this course!

55// The One and Only Question You Need to Ask to Know If You Have a Gut Pathogen

Thu, 19 Aug 2021 09:00:00 -0400

There’s ONE question to ask to know if you have a pathogen.

This question is a good litmus test if you're wondering if you have a parasite, bacterial overgrowth, H. Pylori, Candida, C. Diff., or even the infamous Blastocystis Hominis.

Have I, to the best of my ability and knowledge, done all the right things to make myself feel better, but don’t feel better?

That’s it.

If, despite ALL the things you’ve done, you don’t feel better - there’s probably something invisible going on.

If you’ve answered YES to this episode’s question, tune in! Let’s break down specific things you may be doing or have done for your health and where to look next!

54// Health is a Hero's Journey + Join the Blood Lab Bootcamp WAITLIST!

Thu, 12 Aug 2021 09:00:00 -0400

A hero begins their journey without all the answers. They usually have just a problem and a dream to solve that problem.

If they had the tools and the power to solve that problem in chapter 1, it would make for a very short book! The problem would be solved, and our hero would go back to their life.

The truth is, the hero story resides in our hearts because we identify with the hero when we have a problem that can’t be solved.

Today’s episode, I want to dive into the elements in different stages of the hero’s journey. Those stages align 100% with the stages in the health journey.

Creating this episode gave me a lot of encouragement, even as somebody who is further along in her health journey. It shows me where I’ve come from, where I’m going, what I have accomplished to get where I’m at, and how much further I have to go. I hope on today’s episode you find the same encouragement!

I would love to hear: What stage of the hero’s journey do you think you’re in? Give this episode a listen, head over to our Instagram page, and leave us a note on what stage of the hero’s journey you see you’re at in your health!

52// 10 Things to Consider Before Starting a Heavy Metal Detox

Thu, 29 Jul 2021 09:00:00 -0400

I recently had a friend of mine tell me that she had bought a product to detox heavy metals in her body.

Our conversation reminded me of the importance of an episode on heavy metals and things to know BEFORE detoxing them!

So, WHO needs a heavy metal detox?

Everyone!

Prior to jumping into a heavy metal detox, this episode is here to inform you of the caveats and prerequisites to detoxing metals from the body.

Specific people who may be carrying heavy metals include those who have:

Taken any form of hormonal or copper birth control
- Pill, IUD, etc.
Mothers who were on the pill or hormonal/copper birth control prior to your conception
Had gallbladder removed
Used deodorant with aluminum in it
Eaten food that has been cooked in, or stored in aluminum foil
Drank/still drink unfiltered water (this includes Brita filter users - we’ll get into why)
Used plastic to store food
Chronically low calcium or potassium

This episode is highly informative on metals, and it is my hope that you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed recording it! Remember to give it time and be gentle.

Healing is a journey, not an event!

51// How to Stop the Cycle of Trying Harder In Your Health

Thu, 22 Jul 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Have you ever said this to yourself or to a friend?

“Despite all my efforts, I feel worse and worse.”
I’m doing “all the right things,” and no matter what - I don’t feel better
Before all this - exercise and being intentional with my diet made me feel better. Now - it has NO impact or makes me feel worse.

If so, you are like many of my clients. These are things that I REGULARLY hear when I start working with my clients. Once you get sick enough, there seems to be no correlation between effort and results. Yet - we’re tempted to either work even harder in our health or just give up completely (because hey, it’s not helping anyways).

However, It is EXACTLY this lack of correlation between effort and results that is a major sign that you may be working against yourself. There IS a better way. You actually are allowed to give up things to go up in health!

On today’s episode, I’m going to be describing exactly how and WHY simplifying life can actually make you feel and become healthier.

50// Why the Elimination Diet Isn't Healing Your Gut

Thu, 15 Jul 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Have you been put on an elimination diet?

Are you eating a reduced number of foods doing the low FODMAP diet, low histamine diet, elemental diet (SIBO), or some other elimination diet?

Are you unable to reintroduce foods (no matter how long you’ve been on your diet) without your symptoms flaring up?

Do you feel your symptoms flare up even when you’re being strict with your diet?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, tune in!

Elimination diets like the Low FODMAP diet, Low Histamine diet, Elemental diet (SIBO), and others are designed to reduce symptoms, but there are deeper factors you may need to look at.

We’re going to discuss WHY your elimination diet isn’t working, and what you can look into next to bring real, deep healing to your gut and your body!

49// 9 Reasons Your Supplements Aren't Healing Your Gut

Thu, 08 Jul 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Are you taking supplements, and you feel like they’re not working?

Have you jumped from one supplement to another, wondering if you’ll start to feel better if you just get the right brand or the right herb that you haven’t tried yet?

Have you been recommended by your doctor to take supplements (such as calcium, B12, iron, or Vitamin D due to being low)? Yet your numbers are barely budging and you don’t feel any different?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, today’s episode is for YOU!

Let’s go over 9 reasons why your supplements aren’t working, and give you an idea of what you can look into next to make sure that the time, energy, and money you’re putting into supplements is, in fact, worth it.

Frequent sinus infections (1+ per year)
Chronic congestion
Post-nasal drip
Ear drainage issues

46// The Gut-Breath Connection: How asthma, heart palpitations, constipation, IBS, and acid reflux are ALL connected

Thu, 17 Jun 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Today: Week TWO of our Gut Connection series! We’re exploring three different gut connections in this series: gut-skin, gut-breath, and gut-sinus.

Our gut-breath connection is very anatomy based!

Your trunk holds almost ALL your important organs. Within the trunk, the respiratory diaphragm is between two opposite pressure systems.

This pressure balance can be thrown off balance by tissue restrictions.

These restrictions can occur for a number of different reasons from asthma, previous infections, car accidents, sports collisions, to other body traumas.

If you suffer from:

Neck pain
Frozen shoulder
Inability to take a full breath
Stitch in side when running
Ribs stick out (esp. When laying down)
Heart Palpitations
POTS
Constipation
Painful sexual intercourse
Tight pelvic floor
Asthma with IBS or other GI dysfunction
Acid reflux
Back stiffness
Abdominal pain/discomfort

This episode is for YOU!

The good news? You are NOT stuck this way. There is something you can do about this.

Are you ready to find out how? Take a deep breath and let’s jump in.

Thu, 10 Jun 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Today, we begin part one of our Gut Connection series! We’ll explore three different gut connections over the next weeks: skin, breath, and sinus.

Our gut and skin are deeply intertwined. To heal the skin, the gut needs to be healthy. If you’re healing your gut, you may have already noticed skin improvements!

If you have:

Eczema
Rashes, seemingly randomly
Adult acne
Arms/legs with red dots
Bacne
Tried a TON of products, but none help...

Your gut may be at play in your skin health!

From hormones to toxins, we’ll dive into what connects and influences both organs in this episode AND how you can begin healing your skin from the inside out.

44// Quiet Mental Chaos with Meditation

Thu, 03 Jun 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Last week’s episode, I discussed the anatomy behind brain toxicity and ways to reduce toxins.

One of the methods to reduce brain toxicity needed its own episode: MEDITATION!

Meditation is the ultimate freebie for reducing brain toxicity! No tools are required and it can be done almost anywhere or anytime.

Meditation assists in reducing brain toxicity by:

Reducing brain static (the activity of neurons)
Practicing a “quieter mind” - literally
Momentarily decreasing neuron’s metabolic toxin output
Impacting how hard cerebrospinal fluid has to work
Reducing toxic load in brain
Improving clarity, focus, and calm
Reducing brain fog
Lowering anxiety

This episode is filled with techniques and tips to help you in creating (or refining) your own meditation practice. Are you ready to begin?

43// How to Reduce Brain Toxicity for Better Focus, Lower Anxiety, and Clearer Thinking

Thu, 27 May 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Brain toxicity: What does it look like?

Symptoms of brain toxicity:

Fatigue
Moodiness
Memory problems
Difficulty focusing (ADD/ADHD)
Speech/language problems (Autism)
Mood disorders (OCD, depression, etc.)
Stiff, uncoordinated muscles (Demyelination. More severely: Multiple sclerosis, ALS, or other diseases)
Neurodegenerative diseases (such as Dementia/Alzheimers)

Do you experience any of those symptoms?

Let’s go over the physiology: how we intake toxins, how we absorb them, and ways that our bodies struggle to excrete them.

I also share six things you can do to begin healing!

Of the things I want to share, one is a freebie: MEDITATION!

While meditation won’t cure a condition, it is a powerful tool to use in reducing brain toxicity!

42// 6 Secrets Your Sleep Can Tell You About Your Gut

Thu, 20 May 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Does sleep elude you?

Often, we are told if we improve sleep hygiene or reduce stress, our sleep will improve.

This episode, I want to let you in on a secret:

It’s not your lack of willpower getting in the way of better sleep. It’s your GUT!

Join me to learn how to learn what your sleep patterns are telling you!

Different sleep issues show us signs of dysfunction in the gut related to:

Systemic inflammation
Thyroid function
Cortisol levels
Liver function
Melatonin production

Say goodbye to night sweats, trouble falling or staying asleep, waking up in the night, or anything in between!

41// Do you have anxiety, depression, or ADHD? Here's one reason to check your gut.

Thu, 13 May 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, or difficulty focusing?

Have you been diagnosed with ADD or ADHD?

Do you experience feelings of sadness for seemingly no reason?

Are you gaining weight, or not losing it, despite working out and eating healthy?

If you are, you may be being impacted by a specific pathogen in the gut called Clostridium Difficile, or for short, C. Diff. This bacterium can impact your neurotransmitter balance and impact your mood, focus, and weight loss.

How do you know if you have C. Diff.? Where does it come from? How does it unbalance neurotransmitters in your brain? And how do you get rid of it?

We’ll be discussing this and more on today’s episode. It’s time to reveal more about the connection of the gut to the brain!

40// Reduce Acid Reflux with the Magic Power of Zinc

Thu, 06 May 2021 09:00:00 -0400

LOW stomach acid is the most common cause of acid reflux in clients that I work with.

Yes, LOW stomach acid can create acid reflux as much (or more) than high stomach acid!

Why? Low stomach acid affects food breakdown AND stomach function.

Low stomach acid symptoms:

Acid reflux
Seeing chunks of food in stool
Bloating
Smelly gas
Quick feelings of fullness
Fatigue
Weakness when working out

Does this sound like you?

If so, tune in! We’re going to dive into some anatomy, how we create stomach acid, signs of a zinc deficiency, and HOW zinc can help reduce symptoms of acid reflux!

This episode, I’ll also share two home tests and ways to work with your health practitioner!

Why do our clients get such good results? What do we do differently?

Lately, I’ve been getting these questions a LOT. After pondering the answers, I’m here today to share them with you!

Some key things? We don’t use insurance, we invest TIME with our clients, and we get creative!

I’ll go in depth about things we do (or don’t do) and WHY.

38// 4 Reasons Saying "I Should" Is Keeping You Sick

Thu, 22 Apr 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Thus far on the podcast, I’ve talked about the physical and biochemical part of my journey - from my health downfall to uprising. What I haven’t spent much time talking about is the IMMENSE work I have done to spiritually and psychologically heal myself. Yes, I had to remove a parasite from my body and heal my leaky gut. But I believe 100% that if I ONLY had come at my healing from a physiological perspective, I would not be experiencing the health I enjoy today!

This episode, let’s talk about the mental component of health!

By no means is every sickness coming from the mind, but also, the mind - including subconscious processes and emotions - cannot be extricated from ANY experience of the body, be it pain or pleasure, sickness or health, success or failure.

I encourage you to always seek a happier, healthier mindset even as you seek a happier, and healthier, body.

If you haven’t gotten better. If you have spent thousands of dollars trying to find the root cause of your health problems, if you truly want to live a vibrant life and learn new ways to engage with yourself and the world - press in. Listen. Give yourself grace. And KEEP LOOKING.

Don’t stop … Don’t stop… DON’T stop looking for answers.

37// Is Guilt or Shame Holding You Back in Your Health? - with Raina LaGrand, LMSW, MPH, CYT

Thu, 15 Apr 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Joining me on the podcast today is Raina LaGrand, LMSW, MPH, CYT.

Raina is a somatic therapist, coach, and educator living in Ypsilanti, MI. ⁠⁠Her perspective on somatics includes responding to the ways trauma & oppression shape our experiences and capacity to thrive. She believes individual and societal transformation is made possible when we center bodies, pleasure, relationships, and culture in healing.⁠ Through her work, she seeks to support others in living fully with presence and agency.

After living with a stable fracture of a vertebrae for up to 10 years, Raina was experiencing pain that interfered with her daily life. Raina realized she couldn’t pursue healing without money. Acupuncture, chiropractic care, craniosacral therapy, and even CBD oil - things not covered by insurance all add up.

For Raina, she has been working through multiple layers of mindset to come to a point of being alright with investing in her health. I love what she says in the middle of the episode: “By making my life accessible to others, I was becoming in-accessible to myself.”

You may not be in a helping profession like Raina, but we ALL have a reason in our mind for why we can’t spend money on ourselves to work through.

Raina shares a freebie IN EPISODE, a somatic practice centered around letting go of shame or guilt surrounding your money mindset. After the guided somatic practice: journal, meditate, comment or DM us on instagram, or talk to a loved one!

35// Get Rid of Your Abdominal Pain, Joint Pain, and Fatigue, Lose 10 lbs., and Feel Better Than Ever - Client Testimonial from Dessie

Thu, 01 Apr 2021 09:00:00 -0400

I’d like to share something special with you: a LIVE recording of a three month follow up call with one of my clients!

My client, Dessie, kindly allowed me to record her call to share her progress with YOU!

Starting this process, her top three complaints were upper abdominal pain, joint pain, and fatigue. (Plus a slew of other symptoms that improved, as well!)

She saw a 70% improvement in three weeks, and has maintained that level of improvement for three months!

Her journey offers insight into what it looks like when the body detoxes, fluctuations in the body during healing, and what it can be like to begin reintroducing foods!

33// How to Know It's Time to Get Help + How to Find a GOOD Health Practitioner

Thu, 18 Mar 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Let’s dive into two crucial steps on the path to healing:

How to know it’s time for help.
How to CHOOSE help!

Shame, discouragement, a self-blaming mindset, and many other patterns can arise when we don’t get to the root cause of a health problem.

Not to mention the information overload searching for answers brings about!

When you want a solution that works you need an expert - there are some things you can’t DIY in health!

Finding your ideal practitioner is WORTH it! Learn how to find yours today!

32// The 5 Phases to Unlimited Health

Thu, 11 Mar 2021 10:00:00 -0400

Today, I invite you to learn about a tool I created for my clients!

I WISH I had this for myself in 2015 when I started my journey.

When I first started my health journey, I didn't know how I had gotten to where I was or where to go from there. I didn’t know what path to take!

I spent years floundering and feeling confused overall about where I was in the healing journey.

This training breaks down the five phases within each journey.

Each phase contains identifiers, possible blocks, strategies to MOVE forward, needs within the phase, and dangers you may come across that would cause regression.

What phase are you currently in? Where do you need to go from here?

31// Why Your Doctor Says Your Labs Look "Normal" - Even When You Don't FEEL Normal

Thu, 04 Mar 2021 10:00:00 -0400

Your doctor shares your lab results with the news that they are… NORMAL!

You don’t FEEL normal, so what does that mean?

These “Normal” lab results were compared to a lab’s reference range.

The problem with this reference range?

The average is comprised of ALL the people a specific lab has ever sampled.

The range is NOT filtered for if these people were healthy or feeling good.

Today, let’s dive into “Normal” vs. “Functional” labs and the importance of testing NOT guessing!

Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of the wild world of labs, and learn how to use your labs to understand your health!

30// Overcome Fear of Food with Alisha Carlson, Non-Diet Lifestyle Coach

Thu, 25 Feb 2021 10:00:00 -0400

Raise your hand if…

You have fears surrounding food.
Diet and exercise are a source of frustration.
You struggle with body-image.
The scale in your bathroom is a source of stress.
You fear the scale, so you don’t have one!
Your struggles are also health-related.

Having a dysbiotic gut microbiome or unbalanced hormones make bodies MORE prone to weight problems. It has nothing to do with willpower, values, or abilities!

If any of those points sound like YOU, tune in for an uplifting episode on body mindset with Alisha Carlson, Non-Diet Lifestyle Coach.

Alisha is passionate about helping her clients reframe their body image mindsets, as well as their views on food and exercise. She works from a non-diet perspective that allows clients to experience more freedom, more time and energy, and show up more fully in life!

My hope for you, after hearing this episode, is that you hold on to the belief that you have a CHOICE in what you believe about your body! Your body mindset belongs to YOU!

Thu, 11 Feb 2021 10:00:00 -0400

Today, join me for a conversation with Brenda Aufderhar RN, LCSW, CST-D!

Brenda’s journey started as a mom trying to find help for her cerebral palsy child! Brenda found Craniosacral Therapy and wanted to learn how the treatment was helping her son.

Internal Family Systems? What IS that??

Internal Family Systems is a form of therapy! The systems are within each of us. Opposing parts inside a person want to control behavior Learning to have a relationship with those parts can change and put a person more in charge of their behavior and awareness of their inner world.

27// How to Use the Hospital and Holistic Healthcare TOGETHER: A Case Study on my Recent Miscarriage

Thu, 04 Feb 2021 10:00:00 -0400

Today, I'd like to share a personal story about my recent pregnancy and miscarriage. This story encapsulates the ENTIRE reason I started the Better Belly Podcast.

People don’t often hear REAL health stories. This aspect of health is somehow taboo! In reality, these stories happen every day, all the time.

Maybe this isn’t a story that directly relates to you. If that is the case, I would encourage you to view this as more than just a story about my miscarriage. This is a story about having a health problem, trying to find answers through conventional and holistic healthcare, and what that means moving forward!

One takeaway I hope you leave with is to KEEP looking for answers.

Thu, 28 Jan 2021 10:00:00 -0400

Are your hormonal cycles short? Does PMS or your period take you out every month, causing you to dread the arrival of your period? Or do you not get a period at all?

21// Struggling with hope in your health? Hear a Heartwarming Holiday Story About Overcome Insomnia, Chronic Pain, and Chronic Nausea - with My Client "Cee"

Thu, 24 Dec 2020 10:00:00 -0400

Happy Holidays!

It’s that time of year where everything is sparkling and special. And today, I want to bring ya’ll ANOTHER special story.

Cee is a performer, teacher, and has traveled for work for over 30 years! Cee has also been a client of mine since the summer of 2019. When she first came to me, she had been through three back surgeries, gallbladder removal, and seen the top doctors in the country from Mayo Clinic to Johns Hopkins University. She could barely walk due to shooting pain in her left leg, was struggling with constant nausea for over a decade, had joint pain, skin rashes, and extreme insomnia.

From 2019 to 2020, Cee’s life has completely turned around. She can now sleep through the night, do pilates, and eat food without getting any nausea. Her pain levels have also significantly dropped from where they were. AND - she’s even had symptoms go away that she NEVER told me about.

Cee and I have cried SO many times together over the wonder of her story, and today, she has agreed to share her story with ya'll. I am so, so grateful.
If you have been struggling with hope in your health, I hope that you encouraged and touched by this episode today.

20// Reflect on 2020, CELEBRATE, and Plan for 2021!

Thu, 17 Dec 2020 10:00:00 -0400

One of my FAVORITE parts of the end of the year is DREAMING for the new year.

And not only dreaming - but planning!

Today’s episode is all about encouraging ourselves as we reflect on 2020 and celebrating what you did this year for your health this year!

It is so common we go from year to year and only see all the ways we are LACKING, where we aren’t as healthy as we WANT to be. And we can miss all the places where we overcame. You overcame in your health this year! And it's time to reflect and CELEBRATE that!

So grab a journal or your phone and get ready to take notes, because today, we are going to DREAM!

17// Finding Links in Your Labs to Guide Nutrition with Nutritionist Haleh Olsen MS, CN

Thu, 26 Nov 2020 10:00:00 -0400

Have you ever felt like your diet was a puzzle piece you were trying to make fit - and just didn’t?

Have you ever felt that you weren’t sure what foods would get you the healthy results you want?

If so, you are not alone!

That is why I brought in my friend Haleh Olsen, Certified Nutritionist, to talk with us about food. Haleh has a less common skill among nutritionists, and that is - reading lab results.

Haleh has learned over years of experience how to read lab results and find holes in health to know exactly what nutrition will get therapeutic results for her clients.

Haleh has worked with patients with cancer, autoimmune disorders, and other forms of trauma such as traumatic brain injuries because SHE HERSELF has gone through that!

I am so excited for today’s episode and hope that you are inspired for more health in your life today!

Reintroducing foods into your diet can be a scary thing. If you’ve been on your gut health journey for a while, you’ve probably asked yourself these questions a hundred times:

Will I ever get to reintroduce foods again?

How long is this going to last?
Am I stuck this way?
What happens if I try to re-introduce foods and it doesn’t go well?

In this episode, dive into the emotional aspect of learning to trust food again, and how you can bolster your trust of food after it has been destroyed.

12// How to Curate Your Top 5 Relationships to Heal Your Gut

Thu, 22 Oct 2020 07:00:00 -0400

You are the average of the top 5 people you spend time with.

I first heard this quote in 2018.

What does it mean?

Of the top 5 people, you listen to and interact with, those people’s same characteristics are and will slowly become yours.

Quick reflection - what characteristics do you want to be growing in?

When I applied this quote to my own life in 2018, my mental health improved. My spiritual health improved. And so did my gut health.

Because gut health is a battle of both mind, body, and spirit, we get to dive into this topic today so that you can build your Top 5 Relationships and change your future - today!

10// Being Grateful In the Pain

Thu, 08 Oct 2020 07:00:00 -0400

You’ve heard of the brain-gut axis before. You KNOW that your brain effects your gut, and your gut effects your brain. But what are some actual, real, PRACTICAL steps you can take to improve your gut health?

In 2018, my gut health had already taken a sharp turn in the right direction to health. But it still wasn’t in a great spot. I was starting my business, training for a marathon, and involved in an MLM business. I was BUSY.

But I also was devoted to continuing to figure out ways I could help my gut.

I’d always heard that gratitude was good for you, but never bothered dealing with it before. But, because of an AMAZING experience I’d had in college with gratitude, I returned again to this mind-bending practice and gave it a go.

And ladies - my gut has never been the same!

If you have ever wanted to try using GRATITUDE to heal your body, this episode is for you! Other links from the show:

09// Is My Sickness Biological, Psychological, or Spiritual?

Thu, 01 Oct 2020 07:00:00 -0400

Today, I want to share something really vulnerable with you. It is a question that plagued me ever since I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety in 6th grade, I have had this question BURNING in my mind.

Is my sickness biological, psychological, or spiritual?

Have you ever wondered this question before?

Whether you have or not, I invite you to listen into this podcast episode where I share a LOT about both the insecurities I have with this question AND the research that I’ve found to help myself find peace with this question. I hope you love this episode!

08// How Long Should It Take Me to Heal?

Thu, 24 Sep 2020 07:00:09 -0400

YOU ARE THE TITANIC.

You are awesome. Strong. And...you hit an iceberg.

What now? What do you do after you take on water and patch your hull? WHEN can you take on passengers again and sail majestic and free?

If you have ever been frustrated by how LONG it has taken for you to heal, this episode is for you. In it, we talk about my favorite quote, how your body is like the titanic, and the stages your body goes through in healing after you go through a major (and even minor!) health shift.

07// Is Your Pelvic Floor Effecting Your Health? + Pregnancy Tips! (Ft. Dr. Nidhi Sharma)

Thu, 17 Sep 2020 07:00:09 -0400

What does: breaking your tailbone → PMS → appendicitis → IVF (in-vitro fertilization) → depression → prostatitis → and your microbiome have in common?

Your pelvic floor!

Today I interview my friend Dr. Nidhi Sharma, a pelvic floor therapist, and in our episode today, we talk about all this and more!

Nidhi became a pelvic floor therapist who broke her tailbone 2 years after becoming a pelvic floor therapy. Was suggested to not sit… for a year. Tailbone pain did go away, but it cause problems for her.

We are also going to talk about really important questions you might have asked yourself before:

- When do I seek help?
- When do I do something about my symptoms?
- And when should I leave my current practitioner to find another one to help me achieve my health goals?

Dr. Nidhi’s story reminds us that Health is not always a straightforward journey, but there is ALWAYS hope for our bodies to get healthier and stronger than before.

Bio for Dr. Nidhi Sharma, DPT:
------------
Nidhi is an expert in the specialty field of Pelvic Health Physical Therapy and is passionate about education men and women about pelvic health. She is double board certified in the field of orthopedics and women’s health.

She received her training from the Herman and Wallace Pelvic Health Institute. She has undergone extensive training in Functional Manual Therapy through the Institute of Physical Art (IPA). She has also received training in the field of Visceral Manipulation from Barral Institute.

Nidhi is formally trained in Maitland Approach, Mulligan’s Concept, Active Release Technique (ART), and Trigger point Therapy.

Nidhi performs functional evaluation and treatment considering the whole body as an intricate and interconnected system. Utilizing her background in kinesiology, she believes in performing movement based biomechanical analysis of dysfunction to reach the underlying pathology, rather than simply treating existing symptoms.

She firmly believes that an educated person is an empowered person, and much less prone to future injury. Nidhi has a passion for dance, and in her free time, she enjoys learning ballet.

05 // Two Treatments for IBS That You Probably Have Never Heard Of

Thu, 03 Sep 2020 07:00:30 -0400

At Better Belly Therapies, we are ALL about how we can be CREATIVE and heal the gut through more ways than just food and probiotics.

For me, I experienced two treatments in 2016 that completely turned around my digestive health journey. You might have never heard of them. They were: craniosacral therapy and visceral manipulation.

In this episode, I talk ALL about the science behind these two treatments and WHY they work. Because - my most common question I get ask about craniosacral therapy and visceral manipulation is HOW. How does it work? Why? Am I little crazy to think touching someone can help their gut get better?

Yes (we all need a little crazy!). And also - no! These treatments are completely founded in anatomy, physiology, and science.

If you are curious or are looking for more ways to heal your gut other than through food restrictions and supplements - this episode is for you!

04 // How to Heal Your Gut From PTSD (Ft. Nikki Kenward CST-D)

Tue, 01 Sep 2020 07:00:17 -0400

Have you ever experienced or gone through a stressful or traumatic event or season of life? Maybe you identify with or are currently going through Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Your gut is affected by both these things. Our bodies remember and are HIGHLY affected by stress and trauma in our past and present. In this episode, I got to interview my friend and mentor Nikki Kenward CST-D on how she healed her gut after a near-death experience. And hint: healing her gut had nothing to do with food!

Now, Nikki has devoted her life to helping others overcome their gut health trauma by helping them reconnect their gut to the rest of their body.

I LOVED this interview with Nikki, and her British accent made it even more fun! If you want to hear about how you can heal your gut from trauma - listen on in!

03 // Why Probiotics Aren't Healing Your Gut

Tue, 01 Sep 2020 07:00:00 -0400

Have you ever wondered which probiotic is best for you? Have you ever been overwhelmed by the number of probiotic products online or at your local health foods store?

I know I have been! I have spent a lot of time, energy, AND money researching, buying, and trying lots of different probiotics - only to NOT feel better!

There is a reason for this. Yes, really! And I wish someone had told me this BEFORE I spent all that time hoping and expecting to get better off of a probiotic pill.

In this episode, I am going to debunk THREE MYTHS about probiotics, and then share the real truth about them so you have the knowledge on how to heal your gut.

Whether you’ve been in the probiotic conversation for years or you are just starting out - this episode is for you.

02 // Why the Low FODMAP Diet Isn't Healing Your Gut

Tue, 01 Sep 2020 07:00:00 -0400

The Low FODMAP diet is a popular diet for doctors, nutritionists, and the average Google results page to recommend for people with IBS. I was one of those people that found the Low FODMAP diet and followed its strict guidelines. I was also one of those people for whom the Low FODMAP diet failed. Why?

It took me over five years to get that answer. In this episode, I bare it all - science, my story, and why the Low FODMAP diet might also be failing you.
