Let’s be bored more often so we can get those creative brain juices flowing!!

My career is an accident. It started when I set out to rediscover my passion and reignite a spark I’d lost — and that journey led me to the work I do now. If you know me from my books or my speaking, you know I’m fascinated by why people do what they do. What makes someone find joy and meaning...

The notion of the gut being the “second brain” is irrefutable, and based on the research, having a healthy mind starts with having a healthy gut!

What is a healthy gut?! Well, it is a gut fed by food full of fiber and other nutrients, and the gold standard of those foods are plant-based and natural; you know, the veggies and the fruits and especially the fermented foods (plain live-culture yogurt, saurkraut, kimchi, kombucha, etc) every single day as well as lots of water to wash it down and a probiotic (I recommend Seed).

I know it’s hard to shift away from eating highly processed, high fat, high sodium, high sugar, high calorie, low nutrient highly addicting super yummy fast food and homemade comfort food, but friends, YOUR MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH IS WORTH MAKING THIS CHANGE FOR!

Sure a burger with fries, a bottle of Mt Dew, or even a salad covered in ranch tastes sooo good in the moment, largely due to all that addicting sugar and fat triggering a release of dopamine in your brain and causing a strong sense of pleasure and craving for more, but a few minutes later when those chemicals dissipate, how do you feel? Usually, there is a level of guilt and shame that floods in, and when that becomes too intense, back to the fast food we go for another hit of that addicting dopamine… and the cycle continues… and at some point, dopamine becomes depleated and feeling terrible becomes the norm 🥺

Let’s break the cycle!! That food is not worth the mental roller coaster it takes us on OR how significantly it sabatoges the work we are doing in your therapy sessions!

Change is hard work, but you ARE worth it. Get educated and inspired by listening to this podcast and the bonus podcast (which, I admit, is a bit more in the scientific weeds but has a ton of helpful nuggets) in the comments. It includes info on what to do after you take a round of gut-destroying antibiotics!

And I’d LOVE to hear your stories of the changes and progress you’ve made in growing your healthy microbiome! Be healthy, friends, inside and out 💚 and be well 🌈🏳️‍🌈
