Can you really have too LITTLE salt? Learn why bloating and constipation be caused by a sodium deficiency, and exactly how to fix it.
99.9% of clients have a sodium deficiency when they join my program.
Sodium deficiency can be linked to bloating, constipation, dizziness, fatigue, nighttime urination, low blood pressure, AND high blood pressure. And for many of my clients, none of these symptoms improve UNTIL they address their sodium problem.
Given this, why aren't more people talking about sodium deficiency?
In today's episode, I am diving into the fallacies and myths around sodium and how "bad" it is for you and I'm replacing it with EXACTLY what you need to do to determine if you have a sodium deficiency, and if so, what to do about it.

Today is the LAST week on our money and health series for August. We've been talking all about my top tips and tricks I've seen over a decade of healing myself and other people to help make your health more affordable.
We've started with talking about my personal best and worst health investments (episode 228) and how to SAVE money and reduce costs to heal (episodes 229 and 230).
Today, I'm sharing with you my top 10 creative ideas to earn MONEY fast to fund your healing.
These tips can be done by ANYONE - whether you're a stay at home mom, work part-time, or full-time, or own your own business - if cash is holding you back from healing, then THIS episode is for you.

In your process of healing, have you found yourself saying, "This is too expensive for me"?
Have you had to say "no" to or delay buying a life-changing lab, supplement protocol, or program because of not being able to afford it?
Are you annoyed or overwhelmed with how much the cost of healing is?
If so, then this episode is for you.
The cost of healing is one of the most COMMON reasons I'm told by someone that they can't heal, so this month on the Better Belly Podcast, I'm dedicating every episode to tips and hacks for how to make healing for affordable.
On today's episode, I'm sharing my top 3 tips to accurately estimate how much it will cost you to heal.
This is a SUPER powerful skill because, like with all things, being able to anticipate the cost can help us prepare for it - whether it is buying a house, paying for college, or saving up for a new oven, knowing that general price range can help you to save and mentally prepare for the cost so that, once it comes, you CAN pay for it.
WITHOUT being able to accurately estimate how much it will cost you to heal, you end up over and over again with surprise bills and being not financially prepared to pay for what you want or need to pay for in your health. And this results in a cycle of never being able to pay for anything.
If you feel like you're drowning in health expenses, or you don't know what costs are good deals or not, then this episode is for you.
P.S. For even more tips and tricks for how to make your health more affordable, check out the shownotes where I've included previous episodes to guide you further in your healing journey.

Are you SICK of health insurance not covering the care you want to get to heal yourself?
Are you TIRED of shopping around for a doctor who understands your condition, only to learn that they're out of network with your insurance and almost entirely out-of-pocket expense?
Do you WISH that it was easier to find and pay for a holistic doctor who could actually heal you?
If so, then this episode is for you.
Since starting the Better Belly Podcast in 2020, I've been trying to accrue a list of the BEST tips to make your healthcare more affordable while still getting the quality you want, with care from doctors that you want.
I've shared multiple episodes like episode 181// How to Make Health More Affordable with Katherine Pomerantz and an episode with my dad, a surgeon, breaking down why health insurance works the way it does and How to Get the MOST Out of Your Health Insurance in 2024.
But today, I'm doing something I've NEVER done before: sharing the EXACT numbers me + my family have paid for our health insurance at different stages, and how we get ALL of our functional medicine appointments and labs covered by health insurance.
This is a bombshell health insurance hack that health insurance companies DO NOT want you to know about, because you will NO LONGER have to rely on them.
If you are SICK AND TIRED of health insurance, hidden fees, and over-the-top costs of healing - then this episode is for you.

HEAL YOUR GUT, HORMONES, and BODY:*This episode was first published at BetterBellyTherapies.com/229
One of most common reasons I have clients tell me that haven't healed or can't move forward in healing is because of money issues. Not enough money, not knowing where to invest their money they do have, or having wounds from previous investments that wasted money and just not wanting to repeat that again.
At least one time a year, I like to devote a few episodes to having an open conversation around money and health. My goal is to help you feel less alone in this conversation because, whether we like it or not, money IS a part of the health conversation. And my OTHER main goal is to actually give you practical tips and tricks for how to reduce the cost of healing and generally be better able to afford the healing you ultimately need.
This September, I'm covering 4 main topics:
Today, I'm starting this series with sharing some of my biggest financial flops and wins in my pursuit of healing to encourage you, hopefully make you laugh, and prepare you for the rest of this month where I share how I went from my 5 worst investments to regularly saving the MOST amount of money possible on my health and my family's health every single year.
If you have shame around failed healing investments or if you've been trying to heal and money issues have been holding you back, then this episode is for you!

Hear this toxic mold success story about how Matt completely healed his family from mold - even when ALL doctors had failed them.
---
In 2018, Matt and his wife Amy were woken up in the middle of the night by their son writhing with abdominal pain. Western medicine said he was a healthy young man and had no answers.
Matt eventually connected a moldy window in his sons room to his symptoms and started studying mold around the clock.
On today's episode, I'm having special guest Matt Kelly, Functional Health Practitioner, onto the Better Belly Podcast to come and personally tell the story of his and his families journey through MCAS, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), mold, and Lyme disease, getting no answers from conventional medicine, finding mold was at the center of it all, and popping out on the other side with, dare I say it, a happy ending.
I've personally had the honor to get to know Matt through a variety of connections. He's mentored me through some of my very first clients with Lyme disease, and I've gotten to absorb his wisdom and passion for healing clients from mold just by being in his amazing Toxic Mold Answers FB Group, which has EXPLODED in the number of people it serves over the last few years.
I am SO excited to introduce you to Matt and his and his family's incredible story of struggle, defeat, and triumph.
If you've been discouraged in your journey to heal your body from mold, Lyme, or if you don't even know what is making you sick, then it's time to dive into this story of hope about how one family escaped from mold and Lyme - and how you can, too.

In the world of chronic illnesses that everyone talks about as "difficult to solve", mold and lyme are two infections that find themselves at the top of the pile.

Why is this? And if you have both, which one do you deal with first?

For 6 months, I had tinnitus in both my ears. Learn how I found the cause of my tinnitus + my treatment to get it to almost completely disappear.
---
This January 2024, on the first day of the new year, I suddenly developed a very loud and new symptom that I've never had before in my life: tinnitus.
As soon as it happened, I had to wrestle with a sense of extreme panic and need to know everything about WHY this was happening to me and HOW I could stop it.
I'm adding this episode on tinnitus into our August Mold Month series because (spoiler alert) my tinnitus was caused by mold exposure.
On today's episode, I'm answering questions like:
I want to use my experience with tinnitus as a case study to give you a picture of what it looks like, moment by moment, for a seasoned-mold-fighter to go through mold.
Because even if you've been fighting mold for years (like myself), mold (and the symptoms it causes) cause scary and big feelings inside us. But, there IS a way to make fighting mold feel less crazy, and there IS a way to move forward so that you, too, can say, "I didn't heal everything in one day. But I am SO MUCH BETTER now."

In today's episode, I'm first sharing the top 4 most common emotions I see coming up for people as they face mold, and then I'm sharing my top 3 recommendations to overcome these emotions (not suppress them) to help yourself be able to continue to take steps towards healing from mold every single day.

Mold is one of the most complicated, multi-step treatment plans required for almost any pathogen-based illness out there. This is because mold not only requires you to heal your body but also your home and everything you own.
And - there are a LOT of pieces to treating mold.
So today, I'm taking you through my 3-step mold treatment plan that I personally use with my clients to help them heal from mold in the fastest, lowest cost way.
We're going to be covering topics like:
This is a MAMMOTH episode designed to be an "episode-of-episodes" for healing mold that you can come back to again-and-again for guidance and insight. My hope is that you walk away empowered and envision for exactly how you CAN and WILL heal from mold, with a clear idea of what steps to take next in your mold healing journey, and what tools and resources you need to help you heal from mold and finally feel like yourself again.
Because when it comes to mold, believing you can heal is one of the hardest, but most important, initial roadblocks to overcome.
