Chelsea Haines is here to educate us on what's REALLY going on with our guts...and news flash: it's probably NOT what we've been taught!

Have you ever wondered why when we get anxious or upset, our stomach starts to hurt??

Well, there's a reason!!

When the logical area of our brain shuts off, and we start to go into fight or flight mode, our digestive system turns off.  So what do we do to help??  Well, friends, listen to this VERY interesting episode and make sure you head to Chelsea's Instagram! (and check out the links in her bio!!)

Have you ever wondered why some antidepressants cause weight gain?

Will an SSRI make you feel numb?
Does taking an antidepressant mean that you're weaker than someone who doesn't "need" one?
Will you feel better immediately after taking an SSRI??

Today we are talking to Brittany Gordon, a New Jersey based therapist who is here to give us the skinny, haha, on all things SSRI's.

Guys, this conversation BLEW MY MIND!!

Make sure you REALLY pay attention to the conversation I have with Brittany. You will learn SO much and I hope you find it comforting.

Medication is here to HELP YOU.

Aside from medicine, what can you do?
Get outside, if you can be barefoot, even better
Journaling, yes, it ACTUALLY helps. Get grateful, baby.

Now, let's talk about FOOD, Baby!
Tonight,  I am making Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Bell Peppers, YUM!!
 You'll need:

• Green Bell Peppers: The most important ingredient in a stuffed peppers recipe is of course peppers! I used 3 green bell peppers here, but feel free to use whichever colors you’d like. 
• Shredded Chicken: Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Peppers call for 2 cups of cooked shredded chicken. I recommend you use store bought rotisserie chicken … it’s tasty and so dang easy!
• Plain Greek Yogurt: Plain greek yogurt is used here to make the pepper stuffing as creamy as can be! It provides a similar tang to sour cream, but is a healthier option. You’ll need 1/2 cup!
• Cream Cheese: You’ll also need cream cheese! I personally believe that cream cheese is vital to any buffalo chicken dip sort of recipe. So of course I added it to this recipe. 4 oz is the perfect amount!
• Cheddar Cheese: 1 cup of cheddar cheese on top of these stuffed green peppers is the perfect addition. It’s melty, golden, cheesy perfection!
• Buffalo Sauce: You will need 1/3 cup buffalo sauce to make these peppers. My go-to is always Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Sauce.
• Garlic Powder: Add 1/2 tsp garlic powder to this recipe for a little extra flavor.
• Salt: Lastly, add salt to taste!

1. Set the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Halve the peppers long ways and remove the seeds.  Place in a baking dish, spray with olive oil, and bake for 15 minutes.
3. While the pepper are cooking work on the buffalo chicken mixture.  Combine the shredded chicken, greek yogurt, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, and salt.
4. Remove the peppers from the oven and fill with the chicken mixture.
5. Top the peppers with the shredded cheddar cheese.
6. Bake for 20 minutes.
7. Enjoy!

 Endometriosis is a disorder in which tissue similar to the tissue that lines the uterus grows outside the uterus in places where it doesn't belong.

Living with endometriosis can feel really dark, and really frustrating.

(listen to episode for more on diagnosis and treatment)

Women describe this condition as "exhausting, painful" and feel "broken" inside.

Tara Pops offers women support as they manage living their lives with endometriosis.

And Let's Talk about FOOD, baby!

Cottage Cheese DIP, yes!!! OMG this is SO GOOD.
And packed with protein!!

(recipe thanks to Frozen Bananas website)
http://www.hellofrozenbananas.com

• cottage cheese - I used 4% small curd cottage cheese.
• avocado 
• fresh herbs - I used chives, flat leaf parsley and dill.
• fresh lemon juice
• extra virgin olive oil - Good quality olive oil is key!
• salt
• ground black pepper
• garlic powder

HOW TO MAKE COTTAGE CHEESE DIP:

Place cottage cheese, avocado, herbs, lemon juice and olive oil into your food processor.

Blend until whipped and creamy (about 60 - 90 seconds).

Remove the blade.

Add salt, pepper and garlic powder.

Combine with a spoon.

Place the dip into a bowl.

Garnish it with a drizzle of olive oil and chopped fresh herbs.

Serve with fresh cut vegetables and crackers.

EXPERT TIPS:

Use fresh herbs such as cilantro, chives, flat leaf parsley, dill, tarragon and basil.

Use good quality extra virgin olive oil. It makes such a difference!

Don't use bottled lemon juice for this recipe. Always use freshly squeezed.

Our careers can feel really overwhelming and contribute BIG TIME to our existing anxiety.

So, what the heck can we do about it??

First of all, let's take a minute to recognize that our bodies can only take so much stress and pressure! So if you're feeling overwhelmed and anxious by your work, please know that you're not alone and know that you need to give yourself a break!

Mindset Coach, Tabitha Sampson, has three action steps for us all to follow:

1) Remind yourself that you're only ONE person- you can't be everything to everyone
2) Take off some pressure- let some air out of those tires, baby! You need a break
3) SIMPLE direction: you don't need to do ALL the things, just ONE thing!

And guess what, lucky listeners?? Tabitha has a book out that will help us with all of these thoughts!

Have you guys seen this movement on social media about somatic healing??

Have you wondered what the heck it is?? 

Today on the show, I have a somatic healing expert on the show. Her name is Megan Schnetzer and she's a somatic healer. 

Did you know that trauma is often stored in our body and talk therapy doesn't always work to heal the trauma ???

Somatic healing works with the BODY and how are BODY responds to our years of anxiety, depression, trauma, etc. 

This episode will BLOW YOUR MIND. I'm still processing the information that Megan left me  with...

The bottom line is that this type of therapy/healing/whatever you want to call it is an excellent addition to everything else you're doing to better your life.

Go to talk therapy, take the medication, and try something different!

These sessions can be done in a group session or privately and if you'd like to  reach out to Megan for more information or to set up a session, visit:
