  • 34. Why I Always Ask Clients With Chronic Gut Issues About Their Childhood

    All of our early-life experiences predispose how we interact with the world and what we perceive as safe. 

    This programs our nervous system responses, microbiome, gut-brain communication, and mental states at a young age, and we carry this into adulthood. 

    If we had any adverse early life experiences, such as trauma, disconnection with caregivers, or a disturbance of a safe, nurturing environment during the early years of our life - this will program our nervous system, microbiome, and gut-brain. 

    It’s essential to understand how these experiences are connected to our nervous system responses so that we know how to truly heal our symptoms.

  • 32. The Truth About Exercise & Gut Health

    We all know exercise is good for us. Diet culture has ingrained the idea of “eat less, exercise more.” 

    We’re shown that lean, muscular bodies are the ideal, and that if we aren’t pushing ourselves to our limits in a HIIT workout, we don’t feel we got enough.

    But exercising more or more intensely isn’t the best thing for our gut. Tune into the episode to learn more about this and how to figure out the right amount for you.

  • 29. You May Be More Stressed Than You Think

    I talk a lot about chronic and traumatic stress being one of the largest culprits and root causes of chronic gut-brain symptoms. If you've looked to improve your gut symptoms or anxiety, then you know just how import managing and reducing your stress is.

    Often though, people will tell me "but I already took care of my stress" or "but I'm not that stressed." Well, your body may be under more stress than you think. Listen to the episode to find out if that is you!

  • 27. The Strong Link Between IBS and Trauma

    IBS is so frustrating. It's mostly just a catch all phrase for a doctor to say "I don't actually know what is causing your symptoms." I struggled with IBS-C (constipation dominant) for so much of my life. 

    The thing is... IBS is a dysfunction of the gut-brain connection. Therefore, how our nervous system is functioning is essential when it comes to IBS. In fact, 50 - 74% of people diagnosed with IBS report having childhood trauma or adverse early life experiences. An incredible statistic that shows just how impactful chronic and traumatic stress is on our gut health, and how supporting the nervous system is such a key piece.

  • 26. The Physical Body & Emotional Body Are Not Separate with Haley DeMarco

    This is a MUST listen. Join Haley and I as we talk about her experience with serious digestive issues that were not fixed by a celiac diagnosis and going gluten free - but rather by looking at deeper aspects of herself. A large part of her healing was through the support of Chinese medicine, which helped her understand what emotional aspects were driving her symptoms, and by connecting more deeply to herself. This led her into becoming an acupuncturist, and she shares her wisdom of this approach to healing with us! 

    In Chinese medicine, the physical body is not seen as separate from the emotional body, but absolutely intertwined. When looking at physical symptoms this type of healing considers the emotional aspects behind these physical manifestations. This is so important to understand and could absolutely change your life, and help heal your symptoms for good. Understanding how our emotions are contributing to our symptoms and overall health is an important part of the work I do with clients and in my program, and Haley brings such a beautiful guidance to understanding some of this. 

    Haley DeMarco is an acupuncturist who has a practice in Bellingham, WA. If you have any questions about acupuncture, or want to keep up to date with any information she shares, you can find her at:
