There’s so much noise out there when it comes to holistic health and healing the body that it can be hard to even start. Today’s guest, Jessica Bippen, is a Registered Dietitian with a holistic nutrition mindset redefining what it means to find health and wellness in this unique field. As someone who has gone through disordered eating and a multitude of health issues herself, Jess shares her experience restoring her mindset around food; healing her body; and handling stress. The stress of disordered eating can take a toll on mental and physical health which Jess explains as she walks us through her process of healing her mind and body through food, professional care, mindset shifts, and lifestyle habits. The first step Jess took was getting off of Birth Control and working towards having a natural menstrual cycle again. In this process she was diagnosed with a false case of PCOS and ultimately left her conventional OBGYN (whom would not listen and insisted she go back on BC) to find a doctor that would actually listen to her. In this she finds a licensed Holistic Doctor that began to test and look at the root cause of her hormonal imbalances and gut issues. The biggest takeaway from this experience for Jess was that her new doctor did *not* just prescribe a bunch of supplements and superfoods … instead they worked to get her body healthy and alter her lifestyle before moving onto those modalities! We discuss how to create new habits that support physical, mental, and emotional health all while being reasonable for a busy and full lifestyle. The key component of this conversation is stress and learning to manage it for a long and fruitful life.
