Are you worried about how the coming holidays might impact your gut? Tune in as we dive into “Gut Health 101” and learn the 9 strategies that you can implement to support your gut health.

You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode178.

 Topics Discussed in This Episode:

• Samantha’s gut story
• Why the gut is so important
• The everyday symptoms of digestive disorders
• What causes an unhealthy gut
• How chronic stress causes an unhealthy gut flora
• What happens when you have a leaky gut
• The gut and the hormone connection
• What you can do to heal and support your gut

Key Takeaways:

• Prescription drugs, medications, and the pill cause a leaky gut. They destroy the lining of the gut and also cause nutrient deficiencies.
• Our gut plays a role in our everyday mood.
• There are over 400 known, diverse bacterial species, and we are pretty much 90% bacteria.
• Gut bacteria produce essential nutrients and allow for greater nutrient bioavailability. They impact our health, vitality, immunity, and hormones. They protect us against food allergies and intolerances, and they’re really important for cognition, memory, and brain health. 
• Gut bacteria also aid in weight loss ability.
• Our gut is our second brain, and it's so powerful. If our gut health and our digestive system are off, they start to throw everything off about our health.
• So many diseases and symptoms stem from gut issues, so it’s really important that we prioritize healing and supporting our gut health.

Action Steps:

• Some simple things that you can do every day:

1. Ditch the toxins.
2. Hydrate.
3. Eat fermented veggies.
4. Include some bone broth in your diet.
5. Manage your stress.
6. Get good quality sleep.
7. Detox.
8. Include fermentable fibers and prebiotics in your diet.
9. Supplements with probiotics, L-glutamine, digestive enzymes, etc.

• When it comes to parasite and candida cleansing, make sure to work with a practitioner, get the right testing, and have the right support. You need somebody who knows how to review your testing appropriately and provide the necessary protocols.

Samantha said:

“Your gut barrier is really important, and we want to do all that we can to manage that and keep those mucosal cells really, really tight.”

“Leaky gut and bad gut flora are common because of our modern lifestyle, and if you have a leaky gut, you probably have bad gut flora and vice versa. And when your gut flora and your gut barrier are impaired, you will be inflamed.”

Thanks for listening!

Have you ever wondered about what could be the real reasons why we’re sick, tired, and overweight? It’s a fully-loaded episode with Dr. Stephen Cabral as he talks about the real reasons why we’re unhealthy and what we can do about it.

You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode176.

Topics Discussed in This Episode:

• The real reasons why we’re sick, tired, and overweight, and what we can do about it
• Environmental toxins and how we can remove and reduce them from our body and our environment
• The power of intermittent fasting
• What we need to be conscious of when doing intermittent fasting in regards to our hormonal health, thyroid, and adrenals 
• Ayurveda and how it can help to accelerate our health results

Key Takeaways:

• The two most common things that make people sick, tired, and unhealthy are gut imbalances and stress.
• Women are more exposed to toxins than men. The average woman is exposed to 126 different toxins before leaving their home in the morning, and half of those are carcinogenic.
• If something's off on your blood work, it means there's something wrong with your body.
• If you get bloated after eating, it's not the food's fault if it's healthy food. It's a digestive issue of too much candida, too many bacteria that are fermenting the food.
• You’re not a static human being. The same meal eaten on a different day can have a different reaction in your body.
• Ayurveda is the oldest form of medicine in the world. It became the basis of all other forms of medicine. It literally translates to ‘the science of life’, so it looks at an individual and their constitution.

Action Steps:

• Do a 7, 14, or 21-day functional medicine detox. Then, maintain your results by trying to not be exposed to as many toxins and eating cruciferous vegetables.
• Get blood work done. And if there’s something off on your blood work, look at the root causes to see why it’s off.
• Do intermittent fasting.
• Consider doing a one-day reset diet where you're doing daily nutritional support shakes every four hours.

Stephen said:

“A functional medicine detox. Is a game-changer for most people… It’s simply the best thing that we’ve seen work in our practice.”

“I believe that the closest thing we have to the fountain of youth is fasting… The very best time to not eat is at night, and you'll get tremendous health benefits from that.”

How can you make sure that you have a healthy pregnancy when you’re over 30? Preconception health coach, holistic nutritionist, and fertility awareness practitioner Nora Debora talks about optimizing your hormones and fertility by harnessing the power of your menstrual cycle with nutrition, cycle charting, and self-care practices.

You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode175.

Topics Discussed in This Episode:

• Why it's important for women to take time upfront to prepare their body for pregnancy
• The 4r method for preparing your body for pregnancy
• Some important things that you should know about pregnancy testings
• Sperm testing

Key Takeaways:

• There’s a three to seven-month window for the primordial egg to mature before it releases at ovulation. So anything that you put into your body, everything you do, and the environment that you surround yourself with within that period prior to getting pregnant is going to impact the health and quality of that egg and the health of the baby.
• There’s a lead time of about 72 days for a sperm to develop to its most mature state before it can actually fertilize an egg.

Action Steps:

• If you want to get pregnant, take the time upfront to balance your hormones, get healthy, and improve the quality of your egg (and sperm).

How can you recalibrate your life for the journey that lies ahead? Get a taste of my business mentorship program as I dish out some mindset talk that you can relate to in many different areas in your life.

You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode174.

Topics Discussed in This Episode:

• The danger of comparisonitis
• Why it’s important to have realistic time frames
• The mindset of a CEO
• Emotional business vs factual business
• Why you need to love what you’re doing
• Why you need to think about your revenue goals

Key Takeaways:

• You have no idea what’s going on behind the scenes in somebody else’s life, so don’t compare yourself.
• Building your business is not a rush. It's important to have realistic timeframes, and that’s going to help take the pressure off.
• Many people don't realize the amount of resistance that can show up when they start to dive in and do the work.
• Your mindset dictates so much about your success and your growth.
• You’re human, and it’s okay to fail. It’s important that you recognize failure as part of the process. The sooner you do, the more you experience ease, joy, and flow in your journey.
• We don't do emotional business. We do factual business.
• You have to be okay with doing the boring and mundane stuff. They’re the stuff that matters and moves the needle forward.

Action Steps:

• Stop comparing yourself. Instead, focus and stay in your own lane.
• Commit to only one thing at a time and follow through with it. Don’t take several courses, programs, and trainings simultaneously.
• Reframe how you see failure and look at it from a standpoint of learning and education. 
• Get used to doing the boring and the mundane.
• Think about your revenue goals.

Samantha said:

“We don't do emotional business. We do factual business.”

“You really have to fall in love with your work. Don't just go out there and launch programs and put things together because you think that's what you need to do or it sounds good. No, do it because you are so in love with it.”

Are you one of the many people who are struggling with gut health issues? Founder of the Healthy Gut Company, Steven Wright shares his personal journey toward healing his gut, as well as some strategies that we can implement to support our digestive system.

You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode173.

Topics Discussed in This Episode:

• How digestive enzymes work
• The importance of hydrochloric acid
• Why so many people have a hydrochloric acid deficiency
• Some of the biggest factors that contribute to an unhealthy gut
• The specific carbohydrate diet (SCD)
• Systemic enzyme therapy

Key Takeaways:

• One of the biggest reasons why many of us experience so much bloating is because we have issues with low stomach acid.
• Food, water, and air are the biggest human consumption variables on a daily basis when it comes to our health. The quality of those ingredients matters to our overall outcome.
• If you're on an elimination diet for longer than three months, you begin to create your own dysbiosis in the microbiome.
• Taking out complex carbohydrates from your diet can create more food sensitivities, more food reactions, and less oral tolerance over time.
• The specific carbohydrate diet is a version of a FODMAP style diet where you're not eating anything processed out of a wrapper or package. It’s a whole food diet where you're cutting out as many complex carbohydrates as you can.

Action Steps:

• Consider going on the specific carbohydrate diet. Eliminate the foods that are giving you problems and attempt to reintroduce them as quickly as possible.
• If you’re having an IBD flare, start with the intro diet along with the specific carbohydrate diet. This means eating all cooked meats, fruits, and vegetables and nothing raw. 
• Support your body with all the mechanical needs it might be missing at the moment to break down foods.
• If you want to protect your gut, eat a lot of fermented foods, say a gratitude prayer before you eat, slow down, and try to eat a wide range of foods.
• Find a supplement that's going to cover your pancreatic enzymes, your brush border enzymes, and microbiome enzymes all in the same capsule. You also want to try to find something with minerals added to it.
• Take enzymes with your meals and before bed. Also, don’t be afraid to experiment with your enzyme dosages.
• If you're in a bad place, like if you’re someone who has refractory IBD or you're headed into the hospital, one of the coolest things you can do is give your gut a break by doing a 24- or 36- or 48-hour water fast.

Steven said:

“The hope... is that if you supplement with [HCl] long enough and you rebuild the natural processes, you reabsorb all your minerals, and you kind of train your stomach how to work, you will end up usually coming off of HCl.”

“The systemic part of enzymes can not be understated, and I think it's one of the most underrated anti-aging tools... It's really cool from an anti-aging standpoint.”

What are your blind blots and belief systems that block you from achieving your goals? Delve into your subconscious mind with the CEO and founder of C.E.O. Blueprint Adele Tevlin and find out how you can reshape your thinking to start living the life you want.

You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode172.

Topics Discussed in This Episode:

• The conscious mind vs the subconscious mind
• Where our limiting beliefs come from
• Unraveling our belief systems
• Why we commit self-sabotage

Key Takeaways:

• People have a kind of programming in their life based on their childhood. We have a set of beliefs that we inherited from our parents at a time in our life when we couldn’t choose them for ourselves, and that foundational period becomes the lens with which we see the world.
• The conscious mind is your intellect. It’s what gives you the ability to think and reason and the ability to accept and reject information. The subconscious mind, on the other hand, can’t reject but only accept everything as fact, so it is very susceptible to suggestion.
• Awareness is like learning to ride a bike, and your soul, your higher self, has that. Once you discover and uncover certain lies and truths and do the deeper healing, you'll never forget it.

Action Steps:

• Unravel your belief systems by taking a look at your results. Your life is a result of what you believe
• Know where you’re at in an honest, humble conversation. Some people need to learn to put the pedal to the metal while others need to take their foot off the pedal.

Adele said:

“If you never do the work to question what you believe, you end up believing something that someone else told you. So the question then becomes ‘Are you living your life or someone else's life?’”

“Any successful person knows that the minute they start to succeed, they're met with temporary defeat. What are you going to do at that moment, sink or swim? But most people stop because they are obsessed with being comfortable.” 

Thanks for listening!

Welcome to the second part of our metabolic health episode! Here you’ll learn more strategies to support your insulin and blood sugar levels, as well as take a closer look at how glucose impacts your mood, sleep, cycle, and energy.

You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode171.

Topics Discussed in This Episode:

• More tips to support your insulin and blood sugar levels and manage your glucose.
• How exercise and movement impact your glucose
• Why sleep is critical to glucose regulation and overall metabolic health
• Stress management techniques 

Key Takeaways:

• A study has shown that when about one ounce of white vinegar was consumed with a carbohydrate-rich meal, post-meal glucose spikes and insulin levels were significantly lower.
• Apple cider vinegar is not only great for digestion but also for supporting post-meal glucose.
• According to one study, a single session of exercise at even a mild intensity has the ability to significantly increase insulin sensitivity the very next day.
• A large body of research also shows that moderate aerobic exercise 30 minutes, three times a week over an eight-week period improves insulin resistance and glycaemic control, including your fasting glucose levels.
• Similarly, high-intensity training improves both fasting glucose and insulin sensitivity in as short as two weeks. The more muscle mass that you can build, it's going to support how your body uptakes glucose.
• A short stint of sleep deprivation can send the body into a pathological metabolic state. The good news is that this is reversible. All you need to do is improve your sleep duration for two days.
• Stress raises our glucose levels. Studies have shown a significant correlation between perceived work-related stress and increased levels of circulating glucose.
• Cinnamon is a delicious and effective way to blunt some of those glucose surges.

Action Steps:

• Implement these strategies:
• Use vinegar to support your glucose. Take a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar 10 to 15 minutes before you eat your meal, or mix it with a little bit of warm water and drink it first thing in the morning.
• Exercise and incorporate movement.
• Prioritize sleep. You need to sleep at least 7 to 9 hours per night to have healthy and proper glucose regulation.
• Control your stress. Practice stress management techniques such as deep diaphragmatic breathing for 20 minutes a day and twice-weekly meditation.
• Sprinkle cinnamon on your meals.

Samantha said:

“If you feel like you're having a bit of this resistance with working out and exercise, that could be one way to reframe it. You're doing this because you love yourself. You're doing this because you want to support your body and you want to love your body.”

“No matter how good your diet is, sleep plays a really key role here in your overall metabolic function.”
