  • 340// Nervous System Stuck in Fight or Flight? Here's Why (ft. Stephen and Michaelah Sargent)

    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:

    • Why so many of you are still stuck in fight or flight even after doing "all the right things", and what nervous system dysregulation actually requires to resolve it, not just manage it
    • What Focus is, how long it's been going on, and how they got started with it
    • What a corrective emotional experience is and why Focus's use of this is often so much more powerful and transformational than talk therapy you could do on your own
    • How real nervous system regulation happens, and how Focus taps into that even when nothing else has worked

    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!

  • 339// Constipation Massage vs. The Push–Release Method™

    Have you watched constipation massage videos online promising to finally get you pooping?

    Have you tried fiber, magnesium, water, and probiotics — maybe all four at once — but still find yourself just as backed up as when you started?

    Have you done "all the things" for months or years and still can't get an answer on what will actual clear your constipation?

    If you said yes to ANY of these questions, then this episode is for you!

    In today's episode, I'm teaching you the truth about constipation massage and fascial release as someone who worked as a medical massage therapist for 6 years - specializing in abdominal massage. My goal is that by the end of today's episode, you will understand if constipation massage can help you, and what to do if it doesn't work.

    That's why today, I'm breaking down:

    • If constipation massage can actually work as a natural constipation remedy
    • What fascial adhesions are and how they can be part of why you're constipated
    • Why abdominal massage for constipation fails
    • What to do instead so you can actually reverse your constipation instead of constantly trying new things or being stuck with a 30 minute routine daily to try and get yourself to poop

    If you're tired of trying to find constipation relief and only getting partial (or no!) relief, then this episode is for you!

  • 338// Laxative Dependency: Will I Ever Poop on My Own Again?

    Have you ever been told by a doctor that, because you've been relying on laxatives for "too long," you'll never poop on your own again?

    Have you gone weeks trying to get off laxatives, but you're body never started pooping on it's own again, and you're right back on them just to feel normal in your body again?

    Have you tried fiber, magnesium, water, and probiotics, but still can't have a bowel movement without laxatives?

    If you said yes to ANY of these questions, then this episode is for you!

    In today's episode, I'm teaching you the truth about laxative dependency: you are NOT stuck on laxatives for forever!! After seeing dozens of clients poop again on their own after depending on laxatives for 5, 10, 20, or 30+ years, I'm revealing exactly what we did to get them pooping again - even when their doctor said it'd never happen.

    Today, I'll be breaking down:

    • Why laxative addiction is not the end of your bowel movement story
    • What's actually keeping you from pooping (hint: it's not laxative abuse or overuse)
    • Why quitting cold turkey, or just adding more fiber and magnesium, isn't resolving your laxative dependency
    • What it actually takes to heal your body from laxative dependency, even after years, or decades, of relying on laxatives just to go

    If you're exhausted from feeling controlled by laxatives and the need to poop, or you're worried about what years of dependency might have done to your gut, then this episode is for you!

  • 337// How to Relieve Severe Constipation: 5 Real Stories

    Have you been dealing with constipation for so long it feels like you may never part ways with it?

    Have you tried MiraLax, fiber, magnesium, probiotics, colonics, even acupuncture and surgery, but still can't go without help?

    Have you sat through colonoscopy after colonoscopy, only to be told everything looks "normal," even though you know something is wrong?

    If you said yes to ANY of these questions, then this episode is for you!

    In today's episode, I'm sharing five stories from clients I've worked with who'd been severely constipated, most of them for decades, so that you can see it's possible to get lasting relief - even if nothing else has worked for you (yet!).

    Today, I'm breaking down:

    • The specific method all of my students used to help them get relief, whether they were in their 20's or 60's; single, married, had multiple kids, or an empty nester; working, stay at home mom, or retired; male or female
    • How quickly each student got fast constipation relief (it was way faster than they ever imagined!)
    • Why natural constipation remedies like fiber, magnesium, and probiotics kept failing every single one of them
    • How you can relieve severe constipation that's lasted for years - for good!

    If you're tired of trying every natural constipation remedy out there and still getting little to no relief, then this episode is for you!

  • 336// Constipation Before Your Period & In Perimenopause

    Does your constipation get better and worse throughout the month, but you can't figure out the rhyme or reason?

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

    Have you tried fiber, magnesium, probiotics, and "eating more veggies," but you're still backed up until your period suddenly hits? And wonder how you can get yourself pooping whether or not you're having a period?

    Or, were your bowel movements normal most of your life, but you've entered perimenopause or menopause, and suddenly you can't poop?

    If you said yes to ANY of these questions, then this episode is for you!

    In today's episode, I'm teaching you the connection between your hormones and your bowel movements so that you can get an idea on if your hormones are why your constipation gets better or worse seemingly randomly.

    That's why today, I'm breaking down:

    • Signs that your hormones are driving your bowel movements
    • What the "Goldilocks Zone" of estrogen and progesterone is, and why getting stuck outside it wrecks your bowel movements
    • What it means if you get constipated before your period
    • What you need to do first so your period, your poops, and your perimenopause symptoms can all get better

    If you're tired of feeling like your body is working against you every single month, then this episode is for you!

  • 335// Can Constipation Cause Headaches, Back Pain & Fatigue?

    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:

    • Can constipation cause headaches and migraines — what a study of forty-three thousand people found, and what is the most prominently considered connection
    • Can constipation cause nausea, heartburn, or losing your appetite — including the experiment that proved that pressure in your bowel can cause symptoms elsewhere in your body
    • Can constipation cause back pain — and the main connector between the two
    • Can constipation make you tired, anxious, or short of breath — the fatigue, the air hunger, the chest tightness that I rarely hear people talk about connected ot the gut

    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.

  • 334// Why Am I Constipated? Slow Transit Constipation Myth

    Are you constipated even though you eat fiber, drink water, take magnesium, and eat cleaner than everyone you know?

    Have you been handed a diagnosis like slow transit constipation, IBS-C, dyssynergic defecation, or chronic idiopathic constipation - and still don't have a treatment that actually works?

    Are you bloated, gassy, maybe even pooping every day, but still never feel like you never fully empty?

    If you said yes to ANY of these questions, then this episode is for you!

    In today's episode, I'm teaching you the 5 Toxin Trap — the five root causes I've been testing and treating in my clinic for the last 8 years — so that you can stop praying you'll poop every day and actually reverse it.

    Today, I'll be breaking down:

    • Why the constipation subtypes diagnoses aren't helping anyone heal
    • Why fiber fails at least 14% of people with constipation, which is 2.2 million Americans
    • The 5 Toxin Trap keeping you stuck with constipation: low stomach acid and bile, electrolytes, pathogens like H. pylori, candida, parasites, SIBO and C. diff, food sensitivities, and poor detox
    • What actually drives gut motility, and how to return yours so you can poop daily without ANY supplements or cramming water down your throat

    If you're tired of taking fiber, magnesium, probiotics, or coffee just to go, then this episode is for you!

  • 333// Constipation Relief: Do Fiber & Magnesium Actually Work?

    Have you been told your whole life to eat more fiber and drink more water - and you've been doing exactly that for years, and you still are constipated?

    Do you have a whole cabinet of magnesium — citrate, oxide, the powder everyone on Instagram swears by — and none of it works?

    Have you been on MiraLAX so long you can't remember the last time your body did this on its own?

    Or - have laxatives and enemas failed working for you completely to get constipation relief?

    If you said yes to ANY of those questions, then this episode is for you.

    In today's episode, I'm walking you through what the constipation research actually says about how often these things work (the real success rates!) and set you free from thinking you just need to up your dose or try another different brand.

    Today I'll be breaking down:

    • Does fiber actually work for constipation - the real effectiveness number across sixteen randomized trials
    • Does magnesium work for constipation - it was WAY less effective than I guessed it'd be
    • Does drinking more water help constipation - what one meta-analysis revealed in a 141 person study
    • How well MiraLAX holds up to research — including the number from Bayer's own funded research

    If you are tired of being handed the same four pieces of advice and you do not want to spend one more year trying the same things over and over again that aren't changing anything — then this episode is for you.

  • 332// How to get insurance to cover your mold exposure

    Have you found mold in your home, called your insurance company, and been told — flat out — that mold isn't covered?

    Are you sitting on a remediation quote with five figures on it, wondering how on earth you're supposed to pay for this andkeep healing?

    Did you already file a claim, already get denied, and assume that was the end of the road?

    If you said yes to ANY of these questions, then this episode is for you!

    In today's episode, I'm teaching you things I wish I knew when I started my journey of repairing my home from mold and water damage — including the single word that decides whether your insurance company writes you a check or closes your file.

    Today, I'll be breaking down:

    • The difference between water damage and mold in the eyes of a home insurance company — and why leading with "mold exposure" is the fastest way to get your claim shrunk down to almost nothing
    • The "event" test — the one question to ask yourself before reaching out to your home insurance company
    • Who to hire to inspect the cause of your water damage — and why this is crucial to getting your homeowners insurance on your side
    • The 2-Step Process that your insurance may cover if you do all this correctly
    • How you may be able to still get an insurance payout on claim that has already been completed and get money back that you already spent

    If you're tired of being told mold is your problem to pay for, and you don't want to drain your savings fixing a house, then this episode is for you!

  • 331// Mold Remediation: Is My Home Clean Enough?

    Have you already remediated your home, gotten your ERMI results back, and still don't feel any better?

    Or - have you recently been told that the ERMI test you have isn't low enough, despite having symptoms that are significantly better since lower your mold exposure in your home?

    If you said yes to ANY of these questions, then this episode is for you!

    In today's episode, I'm walking you through how clean is clean enough in your home after mold exposure — so you can stop chasing a perfect ERMI score and start healing in the home you're already living in.

    Today, I'll be breaking down:

    • The biggest myth about what is a "good" score for an ERMI test
    • How to make progress in healing from toxic mold even if you can't live in a perfectly clean, remediated home right away
    • Real stories from clients and past guests who made their homes livable again without gutting everything at once
    • 11 ways to lower your mold exposure at home — including one thing you can start doing tonight for free!
    • What to do if your ERMI score truly is low, but you're still stuck with symptoms

    If you're tired of feeling like your mold healing has stalled out, exhausted from wondering whether you need anotherround of mold remediation, or ready to stop holding your breath every time you walk through your own front door — and you don't want to spend another dollar guessing — then this episode is for you!
