There's every-day goal-setting, and then there is goal-setting for the New Year.  It feels different, and it makes us simultaneously hopeful and defeated before we write anything down.  Have no fear, lean into all you want to achieve.  Chances are, a lot of it connects as smaller goals leading up to the bigger ones.  This episode takes a look at all of that, and how to select and implement goals that give you the best chance at achieving greatness that serves you well into 2021.  

Leaky gut.  You more than likely have heard of it.  You may even have been told you have it.  What is leaky gut?  This episode will explore that with you.

Grief.  We've all experienced it, in one way or another.  Unfortunately, for many of us and especially in the year 2020, this grief has transpired from losing the ones we love.  This episode covers everything that is grief, as it's so normal to feel this grief around the Holidays, and the path to your own gut healing.  

The first interview, Y'all!  An interview!  I had the pleasure of having a Zoom interview with Joseph Pessano, a Self Love coach, and we covered everything on the topic of enoughness.  During the holidays especially, it can be easy to replay the negative narratives in your head on repeat.  This episode focuses on being okay with feeling human, allowing yourself to feel love for yourself and others, and simply be enough.

Often times, gut health especially is looked at as if you heal by putting a bandaid over it.  "Drink a green smoothie this for a flat belly" this, "eat no carbs to lose weight" that.  When really, gut health is like putting together a puzzle.  There are all these teeny tiny pieces you have to put back together, but you have to keep looking at the overall picture on the boxtop to help guide you and bring clarity.  Without it, the overall picture is incomplete.  And it takes time.  You're not just going to be completely okay overnight.  That's completely evident and true with digestion.... And why you're not digesting your food.

Thanksgiving Day is less than a week away!  Regardless of your plans, we can often feel pressure to indulge in foods that may bring on serious digestive discomfort.  If you have food intolerances or gut issues and autoimmune disease that can make this situation a dangerous one, it can bring on a LOT of anxiety.  This episode is going to walk you through how to stand firm in what keeps you healthy, and enjoy still enjoy the day.

Who doesn't want to eat like a Mediterranean? Sounds so luxurious, right? This episode is going to dive into why this way of eating not only is alluring, but it works - both short and long-term - and how you can still customize it to meet your dietary needs.

These two diets are both fad diets, and diets that are not about to die without a fight. We're going to get into what these diets are, what makes them both fads, and why these ways of eating are still going strong.

Functional Medicine takes a look at your entire body and what it needs, then develops a plan for optimal wellness.  It offers an alternative and supplemental approach to Modern Medicine, and its mere presence allows for a lot of misconceptions.  The point is, Functional Medicine has a function, and it's important to realize it exists as an option - whether you go to a Functional Medicine center or read up on key principles or its big supporters.  This episode gives you a glimpse into all of this, and your right to learn towards that gut feeling to better your health.
