So you're bloated, what now...

⁠Let me star by saying, chronic bloating is not normal. 

If you are frequently bloated, uncomfortable and in pain, this is a sign that something is going on.

In this episode we talk about:⁠

- Three things that could be causing your frequent bloating

- Understand why each part of your digestive process is critical to prevent bloating and indigestion

- Learn how stress and your nervous system can cause bloating

- Learn how herbs can give you digestive support & relief from bloating

- Learn tools & tips to help keep your bloating at bay

Key Takeaways:⁠⁠

- Bloating is just a symptom, which is why it's important to address the root cause of your bloating. Yes, temporary relief is great in the moment but it will keep happening until you understand why.

- Every part of your digestive system is cruel to prevent bloating and indigestion. If each part isn't working properly, it put stress on the rest of your digestion to pick up the slack.⁠

- Managing stress levels and nervous system response can greatly reduce chronic bloating.

Let's talk about skin issues!

⁠Did you know those skin imbalances are actually an internal issue?

What happens on your skin is a message from within!

This means that your skin issues are actually just a SYMPTOM of what is happening inside your body.

This means that finding the solution to your skin struggles won't ever come from a bottle, it can only be addressed by finding the internal root cause of the issue.

In this episode we talk about:⁠

- Three areas of your health that heavily impact your skin

- Learn how your skin health is connected to your gut health

- Understand how your hormones can impact your skin

- Understand how liver health is vital for helping you clear your skin

- Learn tools & tips to help keep your breakouts at bay

⁠

3 Key Takeaways:⁠

⁠

- Skin imbalances are always an internal issue. Stop treating the symptom (skin issue) and start finding the root cause of the problem. 

- Your skin is a reflection of your inner health. If you gut isn't healthy, your skin won't be healthy either.⁠

- Managing stress levels can greatly reduce chronic inflammation which can reduce skin breakouts.

Figuring out the solutions to your health problems can sometimes be a minefield!

Does the sound like you?

You've spent countless hours trying to figure out the cause of your health issues

You've paid out hundreds of dollars in the pursuit of finding relief from your symptoms

You've invested yourself mentally and emotionally on every diet, pill or piece of advice you were recommended in hopes it was finally the thing that would work!

If so, let me tell you... You're not alone!

If you're like most people trying to navigate the health industry, you can feel at your wit's end somedays. You've tried so many things but still have no answers.

But what if you could avoid some of the most common and expensive mistakes along your health journey?

This episode will help highlight a few very common mistakes I see among my clients and people in my community.

These mistakes are so common in fact that guess what? I experienced them too!

Yup, I fell victim to these mistakes which is why I want to share them with you.

Hopefully, after this episode, you will be able to take your valuable time and money and invest it into something that can actually get you lasting results.

⁠

In this episode we talk about:⁠

⁠

- Understanding why health is truly an individual approach

⁠

- We take a look at supplements. How they can either be very effective or a black hole for your money.

⁠

- We look at very common digestive diet recommendations and how⁠ they can do more harm than good.

- We explore the power of recommendations and how to evaluate if something should be applied to our own health situation.

- We talk about possible health pitfalls to avoid and how to better allocate your resources to get you lasting results.

⁠ ⁠

3 Key Takeaways:⁠

⁠

- Taking personal health recommendations from someone who doesn't know your health, diet and lifestyle history is a waste of time.

Unless they've taken the time to understand your health needs, they can't provide a solution that will actually work for you.

- General Health advice can only take you so far. Your body is unique which means the solution to your symptoms will need to be uniquely tailored to you!

- Some diets (even doctor recommended ones!) can end up jeopardizing your health rather than supporting it.

- The supplement industry shouldn't NOT be treated like a holistic alternative to prescription medication. We don't want to try to mask a symptom with a pill, we want to find the root cause of the symptom and then implement healthier diet and lifestyle choices with targeted supplement support.
