Would you be willing to give up your cheese if it meant epic morning BMs?

Trust me, I KNOW that if you are someone who enjoys:

🧀 a cheesy pasta dish
🍨 an ice cream on a hot summer day
☕ or a morning latte from your favourite café on a Sunday morning

… you’re probably already feeling some resistance to what I’m saying.

And, I’m not often one to tell people to cut out foods…

BUT… If you struggle to go to the bathroom on a consistent basis, dairy is a food trigger worth exploring.

Because dairy is a COMMON constipation trigger—for MORE than one reason.

It’s not just about lactose intolerance, but 👉 up to 30% of people with lactose intolerance experience it as constipation rather than diarrhea.

Not to mention dairy is often high in saturated fat (especially cheese). This slows down your transit time (aka. how quickly food moves through your digestive system).

Slower digestion = fewer bowel movements.

But don’t worry—you don’t necessarily have to ditch all dairy forever—but knowing HOW it could be affecting you is a big first step.

In my latest blog, I cover the 3 ways dairy is messing with your gut, how to experiment with low-lactose options, and what to watch for in plant-based alternatives.

Comment “DAIRY-FREE” and I’ll DM you the link to the post.

If your gut's been feeling off, this could be the piece you’ve been missing. 🐮

One of best kept secrets for epic morning p**ps that no one is talking about??? ⤵️

If you’ve been struggling with:

👉 INCONSISTENT bathroom habits

👉 STRAINING on the toilet for so long it feels like you could pass out

👉 or INCOMPLETE EMPTYING…

BOWEL RETRAINING is something you need to explore.

Because, if any of the above sounds like you, you’ve probably already tried the basics...

More fiber. More water. A lineup of supplements or laxatives. Maybe even cutting out a bunch of foods.

And sure — some of that might help a little.

But if your gut is completely out of rhythm, those strategies only take you so far.

At some point, you hit a plateau… and things stop working.

That’s why bowel retraining is SO important!

Bowel retraining teaches your gut to develop a more consistent, predictable p**p schedule through routine, habit, and environmental cues.

Because, here’s what most people don’t realize: your body runs on a clock. (aka. circadian rhythm)

And, basically, you have various “pre-set alarms” that go off through the day telling you things like when to wake up, when to get sleepy, and even when to p**p.

But with irregular bowel habits or constipation, it’s like someone forgot to set the alarm. So, you might not even have the urge to go.

Bowel retraining helps reset that clock, so your gut re-learns when and how to move waste out regularly.

It’s like house-training a puppy: you need a consistent routine so it knows when and where to go. With time and consistency, you can train your gut for more predictable p**ps.

Ready to discover the 6 key steps for retraining your bowels so you can p**p every morning like clockwork?

I asked chatGPT to read me the descriptions like a doomsday astrologer with a PhD in pettiness.

No matter your sign, your gut probably needs more plant foods, hydration, less stress, and pa nutritionist who won’t recommend kale smoothies for your trauma.

You deserve better than pebble p**ps and gas that could be classified as a biological weapon... 🫠😬

Which one are you?

You are the magic bullet you’ve been waiting for.

The choices you make every single day support your physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Eat real food. Drink clean water. Move your body. Soak up the sun. Prioritize sleep.

And don’t forget to make time for play, fun, and activities that light you up, because joy is an essential part of feeling good inside and out.

Your daily habits hold the power to change your life.

It’s the small, intentional choices that add up over time that transform your health.

The change you’re looking for starts TODAY. Are you ready to be the one who makes it happen?

Want brag-worthy morning p**ps that leave you feeling like a million bucks?

It comes down to a 3-part approach that I teach inside my coaching program called the Balance Gut Method:

💨 Motility comes first.

Before anything else, you want to get things moving. Because when your gut ISN’T moving, you’ll feel like there’s a brick in your belly, you’ll have trouble p**ping, and you’ll be gassy and bloated.

And adding fiber to a sluggish system is like adding more cars to a traffic jam. It just doesn’t help.

That’s why I help my clients support motility using the right tools—daily motility agents, a clear out (when necessary), and daily habits. Get your gut moving and you’ll be amazed at how quickly the gas and bloating disappears!

🥬 Then we layer in high-fiber foods slowly and intentionally.

Fiber is amazing once your gut is actually moving.

But most people go from 0 to 100 and just end up more bloated.

That’s why it’s important to add fiber-rich foods in a way that your gut can actually handle, so you build digestive strength and resilience without backsliding into bloat.

Start low and go slow!

🧘‍♀️ Finally, you rebuild trust in your body.

By learning to tune into your body’s natural rhythms and signals, you can stop anxiously thinking about food 24/7 or dreading every bathroom trip.

This is where the magic happens: more predictable p**ps, eating more of the foods you love, and feeling in control of your body and your life.

The best part? You don’t have to go on a crazy elimination diet, rely on harsh laxatives, or take dozens of supplements.

I have helped dozens of people just like you overcome constipation using this 3-pillared approach.

How It All Started & How I Can Help You

Growing up with a father who had a chronic disability and with family members who also suffered from chronic disease, I found myself drawn to a career path in healthcare early on in my life. I’ve been a registered nurse for over 10 years, and after being witness to the effects of chronic disease and the limits of Western medicine in treating illness, I felt this inner calling... a knowing within me that there had to be more than just Band-aid solutions that seem to be offered.

Why can’t we get to the root cause of peoples’ suffering?

Where is the focus on preventive health in modern day medicine?

This is when I started digging deeper and learning more about holistic approaches to health. Through my own experience in working with a naturopath, I became sold on the idea of food as medicine. Shortly after this experience, I enrolled in a holistic nutrition program and studied for 3 years to obtain my diploma.

Through my education and my own personal experience, I have learned that health begins with our digestive system. They say, “You are what you eat,” but in all reality, it is, “You are what you assimilate.” Digestive disturbances and an inability to digest our food properly can lead to a whole host of problems in the body, from the simpler discomforts of abdominal gas and bloating, reduced energy, and low mood, to more serious inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, like fibromyalgia, arthritis, chronic fatigue, and even cancer. It all begins in the gut!

While I am trained in a variety of different health issues, my passion is for helping those with digestive complaints/disorders, such as gas/bloating, chronic constipation, acid reflux, IBS, Crohn’s disease, and colitis.

My role is not to treat disease, but it is one of even greater importance. My goal is to work with you, to guide you, and to educate you. My goal is to get to the root cause of your concerns; and teach you how to make smarter, empowered, healthier choices that lead to an overall improvement in your health and well-being.

My story begins with your health and what the change you want to see in your life. I will meet you wherever you are at on your journey, and we will work in collaboration to help you meet your health and wellness goals through nutrition and positive lifestyle changes.
