Photo dump of what I've been up to recently! A mix of work and play. Growing my network, spending time with my family and friends, celebrated my baby girl's first birthday, and got my hearing tested - I have a new hearing aid which has been super helpful!

Life has been feeling very "full" for me lately. And while I'm always grateful for opportunities that come my way, I'm excited to go on vacation next week.

It's important to take time to rest. I'll be honest though - this is not my natural state at all. 🙅‍♀️🤣

I often feel guilty for taking time to myself. I always think there's more I ought to be doing, whether it's working on refining patient protocols, doing more marketing for social media, seeing friends and family who live far and wide, or spending time cleaning my house.

But in the name of personal development, I'm going to try and keep the laptop closed for most of next week.

If you have any burning questions while I'm away, please reach out to the best team at ✨🌿🩺

I'm excited for the Community Care Day for seniors this Friday, my last clinic day before I go on vacation. We have a spot or two left for initial assessments and follow ups that I'd love to fill.

If you want more affordable naturopathic care for aches and pains, gut health, adjunct Parkinson's disease support, dementia prevention, high cholesterol and blood pressure, I'd love to work with you! DM me READY for next steps!

If you are looking for adjunct supports for managing your IBS, you should definitely consider using hypnotherapy to help calm the mind and body.

Hypnotherapy for IBS has nearly 40 years of published peer-reviewed research to support it as one of the most effective adjunct treatments. Research has shown that a series of gut-directed hypnotherapy sessions can effectively reduce symptoms by at least 50% in up to 76% of patients. These results are also long lasting, as a study in 2003 found that 81% of the patients who responded to hypnotherapy were still enjoying the improvements up to 5 years later.

🔹Get regular exercise like walking, swimming, or yoga to promote relaxation and improve overall well-being.

(3) Support Gut Health:
🔹Consume probiotics from foods or supplements to help promote a healthy balance of gut bacteria.

Hey, IBS Warriors! 🌟 Ever heard of the Gut-Brain Connection? 🤔 Let's break it down!

The Gut-Brain Connection is a bidirectional communication network linking the gastrointestinal tract (the gut) with the central nervous system (the brain). This axis involves complex interactions between the gut microbiota, immune system, endocrine system, and neural pathways. Essentially, it's the two-way highway through which signals travel between the gut and the brain, influencing various physiological and psychological processes.

Here's how it works:

1. Gut to Brain: Signals originating in the gut, such as nutrient levels, hormones, and microbial metabolites, can influence brain function and behavior. For example, the gut microbiota produce neurotransmitters and metabolites that can affect mood, cognition, and stress responses.

2. Brain to Gut: Conversely, the brain can send signals to the gut, affecting its function and health. Emotions, stress, and psychological states can modulate gut motility, secretion, and permeability. This can lead to gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea, bloating, or altered bowel habits.

Understanding the gut-brain axis is crucial for comprehending conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), where disturbances in this communication system can contribute to gastrointestinal symptoms as well as affect mental health. By recognizing the interplay between the gut and the brain, individuals can implement strategies to support both gut and mental well-being, such as adopting a healthy diet, managing stress, and promoting a balanced gut microbiome.
