This week, I'm thrilled to welcome my good friend Alison Marras onto the show. Alison is a holistic nutritionist and author of the Paleo Gut Healing Cookbook. Her expertise in gut health, autoimmune disease, and food sensitivities shines through as she shares her personal journey of healing from Hashimoto's, PCOS, and IBS naturally. Alison’s philosophy centers on the importance of not just what we eat but how we eat, emphasizing the role of the nervous system in our reactions to food and overall digestive health.

In this episode, we focused on Alison’s method of restoring gut health and she introduces us to the In Tune Method, a holistic approach she created to guide clients in reintroducing reactive foods with confidence, reducing inflammation, and escaping the cycle of elimination diets. We discuss the significance of mindful eating practices and the power of the nervous system in healing the gut. 

Alison explains why our food sensitivities can be viewed as a superpower rather than a hindrance, which can help shift your entire approach to health and wellness. We also touch on the crucial aspects of self-care, daily routines, and the need for a compassionate relationship with oneself in the journey to better health. 

Don't miss out on Alison’s special freebie, a meal plan bot that crafts personalized meal plans to help incorporate diverse, nourishing foods into your diet while you work on overall healing. If you’ve ever struggled with food sensitivities or frustrating digestive issues, this episode is a must-listen.
