  • 25. Debunking Popular Gut Health Recommendations: Fiber, FODMAPs, Prebiotics & Probiotics

    If you go to Google and search for how to best support your gut, you will come across some common recommendations: eat a ton of vegetables, eat lots of fiber, take a probiotic, take a prebiotic! 

    If you struggle with IBS, or have been diagnosed with SIBO, then you'll likely hear to eat a low-FODMAP diet. 

    Let me break these suggestions down and debunk them - because they aren't all true for everybody!

    As mentioned in the episode, here is the list of hearty probiotic species that withstand stomach acid:

    Saccharomyces boulardii, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, Bifidobacterium animalis, Bacillus coagulans, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus acidophilus

    Here is the study I am referring to about taking probiotics with antibiotics: See study here

  • 24. What Causes Nervous System Dysregulation In The First Place?

    What exactly causes nervous system dysregulation in the first place?

    Seems like everyone and their grandma is talking about nervous system regulation these days. And yes, I am one of them! I have spoken to this as part of other episodes, but I wanted to make an episode dedicated specifically to explaining what causes nervous system dysregulation in the first place. Can you identify your common causes of dysregulation?

  • 23. The True Root Cause Of Your Symptoms

    So everyone these days is talking about finding the "root" cause. What does that actually mean? In this episode, I break down gut-brain symptoms and what I have come to understand as the true root cause for most of them, and it is not SIBO, dysbiosis, or low stomach acid.

    It's so overwhelming to have digestive symptoms and turn to Google to find they could be from so many different sources. You may come across low stomach acid, SIBO, dysbiosis, candida overgrowth, or leaky gut. Maybe you even have tested and found out you do have one of these dysfunctions. However, I don't believe these to be the root issues in most cases. Listen in to understand why!

  • 22. What I Do When My Gut Symptoms Flare Up

    Symptoms are going to flare. Triggers are going to happen. As much as I wished they would just heal and never come up again, it's not realistic for most people. Healing isn't linear, but rather it's cyclical. I've been having symptoms flare lately in my gut-brain, and I share in this episode how I approach and navigate these flares. This is how we build greater awareness, trust in our body, and resiliency to face stressors, triggers, and symptoms.

  • 21. Why Mindset Work & Manifestation Isn't Working For You

    Change your mindset, change your life. Think positively. Do affirmations. Live with an abundance mindset. Be in a high vibration to manifest. Create your vision board.

    So many of these concepts we hear thrown around all the time in the wellness, spiritual, and personal growth worlds. This can lead to feeling a lot of shame when we are unable to have a positive mindset, when we aren't manifesting our dream life, and when we struggle with our thoughts. This can make us feel like we are not good enough, broken, or just need to "do" better.

    Well, let me shed light on to what's really happening that could be affecting your mindset and ability to go after your goals, and what needs to happen first before we can successfully do mindset work.

  • 19. I Lost Weight By Exercising Less, Eating More, & Supporting My Nervous System

    Talking about weight loss is not something I do, nor it is anything I work with clients on, or promote. Weight has nothing to do with gut health, mental health, or the kind of health and healing I promote. This title is meant to be a little controversial to grab your attention and offer a different idea behind weight loss and diet culture. We have been told forever that we need to exercise more and eat less to lose weight, and we are bombarded with images and messages about what the ideal body type is.

    It's all bullshit, and it feeds into so many people developing disordered eating, orthorexia, and body images issues, which I have personally struggled with, and have found to be a very common thing among my clients. Many people with gut issues have become afraid of foods, macronutrients, and can easily develop an obsession with eating clean. 

    If this is triggering to you to read, I am sorry, and invite you to listen to the episode to understand the message here.
