Do you feel like you're stuck in fight or flight no matter what you do?
Have you sat through years of counseling, tried dozens of breathing exercises or vagus nerve stimulation techniques, but still find your body reacting like none of it ever happened?
Have you spent money and time on buying nervous system tools, apps, or programs that worked for a minute but then left you right back where you started?
If you said yes to ANY of these questions, then this episode is for you!
In today's episode, I'm interviewing Stephen and Michaelah Sargent, head trainers for Focus in Cincinnati, so that you can finally understand why your nervous system keeps overriding every tool you've tried, and what it actually takes to get your body to believe you're safe.
This summer, I went through Focus with my husband with Stephen and Michaelah as our trainers, and it was life-changing.
I have been working on my mental health since I was in 6th grade when I got put into counseling, and I pretty much haven't stopped since. And Focus is in my top 3 most life-changing personal wellness experiences I've ever done.
That's why today, I invited Stephen and Michaelah to be break down:
If you're tired of white-knuckling your way through stress, feel like stress may be driving your health issues but haven't been able to escape it, or you're feeling stuck anywhere in your life and don't want to keep going it alone anymore, then this episode is for you!

Or do your bowel movements stop as soon as you get close to your period?

Have you ever searched "can constipation cause headaches" at eleven at night with a raging headache because, after years of it, you'd finally started to wonder if these two were connected?
Are you exhausted in a way that sleep doesn't fix? And when you brought it up, your doctor checked your thyroid, your iron, and told you everything looked normal — but never once asked about your gut?
Do you get full after four bites, or nauseous for no reason, or get heartburn that comes out of nowhere, or that tightness in your chest where you can't quite get a full breath, and someone told you it was anxiety?
If you said yes to ANY of those questions, then this episode is for you.
In today's episode, I'm walking you through eight symptoms that show up alongside chronic constipation so that you can stop treating them as eight separate problems and start getting relief from potentially all of them.
Today, I'll be sharing:
If you're tired of being told everything looks fine while you feel terrible, and you want to get rid of as many symptoms as possible as fast as possible, then this episode is for you.
