When breastfeeding isn’t going right, the whole newborn and postpartum experience is much more stressful than it should be!

Mom may be in pain…

Baby might be losing weight..

And everyone might be crying. Often

Skin issues.

Mood disorders.

Altered bowel movements.

Does this sound familiar?

Dr. Lauren makes the connection between these symptoms and your gut.

What does colic look like?

Lack of sleep.

Overwhelm.

Feeling inadequate.

At the end of your rope.

It can feel like torture because as a parent one of the worst things is seeing your child in pain and not being able to do anything about it.

I know that this is not the postpartum experience you were hoping for!

Unfortunately the exact cause of colic is unknown. We can’t ask our baby what’s wrong or what hurts.

Most experts believe it to be either stomach pain or head pain. Gut. Brain.

In this video, Dr. Lauren discusses how the gut/brain connection is just as important to look at in infants and how it may be the culprit in colicky babies.

How many times do we mix morality with what we eat?

“I was so bad today, I ate a whole plate of cookies!”

Or

“I did so good today, I only had a salad for lunch!”

Or

“I had a great day, I worked out so hard and completed that project, I deserve to eat this!”

We can easily find ourselves in the cycle of making ourselves out be good or bad based on what we’re eating.

Check out this episode with Dr. Lauren for a little eating psychology to reframe how we’re speaking to ourselves concerning our food choices!

Dr. Lauren has been chatting a lot about nutrition and gut health.

Have you wondered what chiropractic and the gut have in common?

Or why you suddenly had all these pimples pop up after a head injury?

Or why your tummy trouble sometimes also give you a headache?

Check out this episode! Dr. Lauren dives into the important connection and why taking care of both ends can be really important in solving the whole puzzle!

A lot of attention is placed on what to eat but did you know that the timing of eating is equally if not more important?

I’m sure you’ve heard, maybe in your high school health class, that the best way to eat was 4-6 smaller meals throughout the day.

The idea behind doing this was to balance out your blood sugar during the day.

The research is now revealing new information!

Check out this episode where Dr. Lauren breaks down a more insulin friendly way of eating that also fits better into our natural sleep/wake cycles!

The food that we eat can have a big impact on how we feel and function.

Sometimes we are experiencing these more mild symptoms like constipation, fatigue, brain fog, general achiness and we can’t quite shake them.

It’s frustrating and no fun to carry along these symptoms that just don’t let you feel like your best self!

This is a perfect scenario to consider embarking on an elimination diet.

If you haven’t heard of an elimination diet, it involves removing common allergens from your diet for a certain number of days.

But that’s not all!

Dr. Lauren chats more about the most important part of an elimination diet and what it can tell you in this episode!

In our busy days, mealtime can get rushed and squished into very small windows.

It seems like we’re either on the road trying to get the kiddos to their next great activity or trying to squeeze in every last bit of focus at work to be able to get it all done and be home in time for some family fun.

See?

No time for meals here…

This can look like us shoving food in our face at our desk or in our cars to get the next thing done.

Besides the loss of enjoyment of a good meal, eating too quickly or in a stressed situation has other serious implication.

We miss out on chewing!

What’s so important about chewing?

Check out this episode! Dr. Lauren breaks it down!

Have you ever heard the term naked carb?

No I’m not talking about a donut running around in its underwear…

The term naked carb refers to eating a carbohydrate without any accompanying fat or protein during your snack or meal.

This has a bigger glycemic effect on the body versus if we had that same carb with fat and protein.

Do you know the most likely time we get naked carbs?

And how to balance it out to better balance your blood glucose?
