If you're suffering from poor gut health and restoring your gut health is your top goal, then this episode is for you. Nikki shares the 4R's that will help you achieve that goal. Listen to her as she discusses how to restore and maintain gut health.

In this podcast episode, Nikki discusses:

• The four R's of restoring your gut health:

1. Remove — Remove foods that cause an imbalance in the gut microbiome
2. Replace — Replace inflammatory foods with beneficial and supporting food for your gut
3. Reinoculate — Reinoculate the gut by adding prebiotics and fermented foods to the diet.
4. Repair — Repair your gut lining and fix digestive issues with diet changes and supplements.

Memorable Quotes:

"Our gut is where our outside world, environment, food, etc. meet our internal environment. So our gut health and our gut lining is super important because it's supposed to be a semipermeable membrane where it's allowing to bring in certain foods, but keep certain things out that are inflammatory and can be toxins."

"Stress is gonna be one of the most common contributors to digestion. So if you have chronic gut issues and you have chronic poor digestion, then make sure that you are also managing your stress."

How has the first half of 2022 been for you so far? Are you satisfied with the progress you've made toward your goals? Or do you feel like you're not making any progress?

This episode is for those who are not satisfied with their progress over the past six months and are ready to make a change. Nikki explains why you may not have made progress toward your goals yet.

In this podcast episode, Nikki discusses:

• Three reasons why you haven't progressed in 2022 after six months:

1. Your commitment to your goals is lacking — you keep procrastinating, holding yourself back, and hesitating to take action.
2. You keep looking for shortcuts.
3. You're trying to do everything alone —there are a lot of things on your plate, and you don't ask for help.

• Tips to get and stay motivated so you can achieve your goals during the next half of the year.

Memorable Quotes:

"When it comes to our goals looking at the year or six months, you would be amazed at how much progress and change you can achieve in just a six-month time span of being fully committed. But unfortunately, so many people hesitate to fully commit. They look for reasons to quit. They look for reasons to hold off. They look for reasons to wait for a better time."

"Reflect right now and ask yourself, have you fully committed to your goals and stop looking for reasons not to go all-in because all you're doing is holding yourself back from getting the results you want sooner."

"If you fully commit and you go all in, challenge yourself, get uncomfortable, and push yourself to step into that new version of yourself, then you can get the results, and you can move and set another goal."

"Shifting your mindset, establishing new habits, and balancing your hormones takes time, but it's a hundred percent worth it."

"You have to realize everybody needs help. It is not a sign of weakness… By asking for help, you are maximizing your time, energy, and ability to get the results you want."

"Push yourself. Challenge yourself. Learn what you need to learn. Address what you need to address. Get the results you want and step into this new, better version of yourself, your health, and your life."

Are you dealing with poor gut health? Do you want to get your gut health in order? If so, then you won't want to miss this episode, as it's packed with a lot of valuable advice for anyone trying to get their gut health on track and stay healthy. Tune in as Nikki dives into the different components that make up a healthy gut.

In this podcast episode, Nikki discusses:

• Four key areas of our gut that we need to focus on for optimal gut health

1. Proper digestion —it is the key to healthy gut function; if you suffer from acid reflux and feel heavy and bloated, check into that.
2. Optimal absorption — maintain a healthy gut lining that keeps bad things out, and make sure that it is not inflamed with chronic gut inflammation (leaky gut)
3. Gut microbiome imbalance — super crucial for gut health; identify the root cause and figure out how to address it.
4. Elimination — if you suffer from chronic constipation, address it as soon as possible because it affects other body parts.

Memorable Quotes:

"When it comes to digestion and stuff in general, proper digestion has everything to do with your gut health… so proper digestion is really, really crucial…and if we're not properly breaking down our food, either due to lack of enzymes, or low stomach acidity, etc we can also be dealing with stress."

"If we're dealing with a lot of stress, or chronic gut inflammation, or imbalances in gut microbiome, we can have damage to our gut lining."

"If we have a healthy gut microbiome, we also are just supporting so many different aspects of our health."
