This 1-ingredient supports your gut and calms your nervous system.

I do this every morning because it helps my gut feel calm and keeps my nervous system regulated all day.

✨ It’s chia seeds.

Yep, just chia. And here’s why they’re absolute magic 👇

They turn into a gooey, fiber-rich gel that helps produce butyrate, a compound that heals your gut lining

BUT ALSO…chia fiber supports your enteric nervous system (your “second brain”).

That’s where:
• 90% of your serotonin
• 50% of your dopamine
…are made.

When your microbiome is balanced, those neurotransmitters flow.

And thanks to the vagus nerve, that calm travels all the way to your brain.

This $10 powder might do more for your gut than your $60 probiotic.

Nobody’s talking about it, because there’s no money in it.

But this old-school gut remedy works sooooo well.

It’s called slippery elm, and when it hits water, it turns into a gooey, gut-soothing balm.

✨ Here’s what it does:

• Soothes and coats your gut lining
• Calms inflammation (fast)
• Helps with constipation AND diarrhea
• Supports motility
• Helps restore a damaged, inflamed gut lining

Just simple, soothing support your gut actually recognizes.

You're either stressed… or you're digesting. Your body can’t do both.

If your digestion feels totally off—

…it might not be your food. It might be your nervous system.

Your stress response and digestion live in two separate nervous systems.

When you’re in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn mode → your digestion shuts off. Completely.

Your body thinks there’s a bear chasing you. It doesn’t care about digesting your lunch.

This can lead to:

• Motility issues (too fast or too slow)
• Gastroparesis
• Gallbladder flares
• Acid reflux
• Globus sensation
• Chronic bloating + distention

That’s why I built the Gut & Nervous System Reset.

It combines my Gut Reset Protocol + Vagus Nerve Reset so you can calm your system and get digestion flowing again.

Your microbiome needs prebiotic fiber to survive.

It’s what feeds your good bacteria, helps your digestion actually work, and supports everything from immunity to mood.

That’s why there are so many expensive powders, bars, and probiotic-prebiotic blends on the market right now.

But... 👉 you don’t need to buy anything.

You already have some of the best gut-supportive prebiotics at home.

And in this video, I’ll share my top 3 favorites...including the one that literally doubles as dessert. 🍫 (Yes, really.)

If you’re bloated, backed up, or feel like your digestion takes effort

→ try this before anything else:

Get your feet up. Literally.

Most modern toilets put your body in the worst position for pooping.

→Your pelvic floor doesn’t fully relax
→ A reflex muscle keeps your colon pulled tight (thanks, evolution)

Result? Constipation, straining, and feeling like “it never fully empties”

You were designed to squat (not sit) and when you get into position, your body finally cooperates.

This one simple shift can change everything:

→ Less bloating
→ More complete poops
→ Less straining and pressure

Ever feel like your body is “acting up” for no reason?

What if it’s not misbehaving...it’s sounding the damn alarm? 🔥

There’s a reason your blood sugar won’t stabilize—

…and it might be a tiny mineral deficiency no one ever tests for.

Here’s what happens:

→ You eat. Glucose goes up.
→ Insulin knocks on your cell’s door: “Hey! Want some fuel?”
→ Receptor opens → glucose moves in.

BUT—if that receptor is broken (which happens over time with high insulin levels), the door stops opening.

That’s insulin resistance.

And one simple deficiency can keep those receptors broken: chromium.

Chromium is a trace mineral found in whole, unrefined foods...but it’s stripped out of processed ones.

So if you’ve eaten refined carbs or sugar for years (hi, we all have), you might be low in it.

🙌 Supplementing with chromium helps fix the receptor, not just lower glucose short-term.

And it’s dirt cheap.

No one’s talking about it. But it works.

Before you blame gluten, dairy, or that random veggie—

…check your water glass.

Drinking water with meals can dilute your stomach acid.

And low stomach acid =
→ Slower digestion
→ More fermentation
→ Way more bloating

You need to let your digestion do its job, and that starts with timing.

Here’s what actually helps:
✓ Sip water between meals, not during
✓ Chew more (yes, it matters)
✓ Give your stomach acid space to work

Ate too much???? I've got an easy solution that will make you feel much better.

11/26/2025

I'm seeing this a lot in my practice lately -> the feeling like you've got something stuck in your throat. It's really annoying, and an easy fix :)

11/26/2025

If your reflux feels like your throat’s on fire, it might not be too much acid…

…it might be too much histamine.

That burning, intense, all-the-way-up-your-esophagus kind of reflux is often triggered by high histamine levels.

Most people don’t realize this:

Histamine tells your body to produce stomach acid.

And guess what most reflux meds actually are? Antihistamines.

So if you’ve been doing all the gut-healing things:

✓ Eating slowly
✓ No drinking with meals
✓ Chewing thoroughly
✓ Smaller, balanced meals

…and you’re still flaring → your histamine load might be too high.

Lowering your histamine can bring relief within a week or two.
