A post i never thought I would write…
…about bathroom anxiety in the middle of UC remission. 🫠
For so many reasons I have anxiety around malls and one being the bathrooms.
But here I am…feeling AMAZING. Stronger than I’ve felt in a long time. No symptoms except the occasional brain fog and fatigue.
So I go shopping at the mall…yay!
And then i need a restroom. No big deal.
Except it became extremely hard to find the restroom. The signage was non-existent.
And suddenly it was like my body remembered all the bathroom anxiety I’ve had in the past.
I had a knot in my throat and was on the verge of tears. Even though I am in complete remission and there was truly no emergency.
I walked myself right into a and treated myself to a matcha latte and a moment to myself before shopping.
All this to say…
✨Our body remembers trauma, even when we think we’ve moved past it, and we don’t get to choose when it’s going to resurface
✨Always give yourself lots and lots of grace
✨Be gentle with yourself and give it what it needs
✨Malls need more bathrooms AND signs pointing to where they are (looking at you )

Happy World IBD Day! 🌎 💜
I am beyond thankful for this community and the entire IBD community across the globe.
IBD warriors are some of the strongest people I know and am blessed to count myself among all of you.
While it is a brutal and taxing disease in every way possible, it has also gifted me with so many lessons I may not have learned otherwise.
I have learned.....resilience..persistence..patience..and how to get back up every time it knocks me down 💪🏼
Today I hope you do TWO things:
1️⃣Take time to reflect on your journey with IBD and all that it has taught you. I personally love a hot cup of tea in a cute mug while I journal under a cozy blanket ☕️
2️⃣ Do something to celebrate YOU. Big or small--it doesn't matter :) What matters is that you celebrate all that you have gone through and overcome.
And most importantly…keep fighting 🥰
P.S. If you want support navigating Crohn's or Colitis through 1:1 coaching, shoot me a DM or comment below and let's chat!

Ever wondered if you are on the right track?
Every time I am trying something new for the first time.....whether it was when I wandered into the free weights section at the gym.....or when I had a crazy idea to run a marathon.....or when I made the choice to start losing weight.....or when I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis and had no idea how to live my life...
I always secretly wished someone would give me a gentle nudge in the right direction.
Or a thumbs up to let me know I'm on the right track. 👍🏻
✨This week only I am offering something brand new: Health Audits
✨Easily the "best bang for your buck" I've ever offered.
✨How does this work?
- YOU: Complete a digital tracker to let me know about your current lifestyle, nutrition, and exercise.
- I: Review all your information and provide a detailed written and video audit directly from me.
✨Doors close Friday night so don't miss out on this cool offering, if I do say so myself 😀

I feel like I see an ad for a different weight loss program every day.
I'm not saying any of them are bad. In fact, I'm sure they have helped a lot of people!
Some count points, some count calories.
Some are high fat and low carb. Some are low carb and high fat.
Some promote cardio. Some promote strength training.
Again, none of these are inherently wrong.
BUT if you are like me, they just don't *quite* fit what you need personally.
I know that was me when I was in the process of losing weight from prednisone.
I felt like Goldilocks and nothing was "just right" for me.
SO I created a one-time session with me that allows us to do just that...
Let's create your Goldilocks weight loss program that works FOR YOU.
⚡️For this week only, I am offering a 60-minute "Map Your Weight Loss Journey" session.
We will take a look at your:
✨Diet
✨Fitness level
✨Stress
✨Sleep
✨Daily habits
This 1:1 session will leave you feeling confident in how to effectively reach your weight goal, with action steps you can start taking right away.

I was thin for most of my life. I was a distance runner, ate relatively healthy, and was very active.
On top of that, I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis when I was 19 and bordered on being underweight for years after my diagnosis.
I actually struggled with keeping weight ON!
So when my most recent (and seemingly neverending) UC flare popped up, I was forced to take several rounds of prednisone.
If you've never been on prednisone--count yourself lucky. If you have, then you know that it can greatly increase your appetite and energy level. The latter I was extremely happy about btw.
After several rounds of prednisone to battle my UC flare combined with the 2020 quarantine, I found myself not being able to fit into any of my pants other than leggings.
I didn't feel like myself and was generally uncomfortable in my own body.
For the first time ever, I began the process of losing weight.
It was emotional and really challenging, and for a long time it felt like nothing was working.
Until something clicked and I began losing the weight. I had more energy, less brain fog, and I learned to how love my body every step of the way.
If you resonate with my story, then I have something that was created just for you.
✨For this week only, I am offering a 60-minute "Map Your Weight Loss Journey" session.✨
If you are:
🍋frustrated from going on your weight loss journey alone
🍋tired of feeling sluggish and groggy
not sure where to start or what to try next
🍋looking for a little support to get you loving your body again and feeling your best
I've got you!
This 1:1 session will leave you feeling confident in how to effectively reach your weight goal, with action steps you can start taking right away.

Whether it is running a race or building a business, having someone in my corner who has already accomplished what I want to accomplish has saved me SO much time trying to figure it out myself.

I have the best clients 🥹
Don’t take my word for it! Hear from Tracy herself:
I was first introduced to Holly through an IBD podcast. I was able to hear her IBD journey and quickly started to follow her on Instagram.
For a long time, I just listened to her tips and watched her cute videos to join her team. Each week she would post messages and give encouragement to invest in my health.
This past August Holly posted a short video talking about remission and changing your eating habits.
I had already realized that some of my symptoms had to do with the foods I was putting into my body.
That video was my wakeup call and I booked a free consultation with Holly that day.
Over the next four months Holly gave me direction, support, and encouragement. Besides my husband, Holly was my number one cheerleader!
She gets it because she has been in my shoes and that brings my great comfort. With Holly’s guidance I am well on my way to remission!!
If you have been hesitant to start your journey to improve your health don’t delay any longer. You are worth it!
Join Holly’s team now and she will coach you through the process because she lives it every day.

Alex’s client results are🔥
She came to me with constant bloating, low energy, and never quite feeling like she was fully in IBD remission.
We worked together for 4 months and honestly started seeing results in just a few weeks!
She put in the work and stayed consistent with all the changes we made in her diet and lifestyle. And it’s safe to say the results speak for themselves!
She feels great 🤩 Alex has more energy, her bloating is the best it’s been in months, her GI symptoms have subsided, and she is feeling stronger every week 🙌🏼
You go girl! I am SO proud 🤩

💜It’s IBD Awareness Week 💜
14.5 years ago I was handed a diagnosis and had no idea what my life was going to look like.
I spent years trying to hide the fact that I was different than everyone else, that I had something that may be seen as weakness.
So I hid and overcompensated by doing ALL of the things. I needed to show I could do everything and MORE.
Today, I am grateful for what shining a light on my health has given me…
☀️A community of amazing people.
☀️An incredible business supporting IBD warriors through building sustainable nutrition and lifestyle habits.
☀️Resources helping me finding my own way to optimal health
Now I lean into what a whole and healthy Holly feels like. I’m leaning into more softness and peace. And allowing my life to unfold before me rather than feeling like I need to prove myself.
Nope—I’m just me and ready to pursue the things I really desire in a nice and flowy way…and no longer out of fear, frustration, or anger about my health.
💜Im here if you ever need support along your IBD journey 💜 DM me or book a call in my bio.

I’ve been a little quiet this week…
Dealing with ANOTHER round of c*vid 😝Officially round 2, unofficially round 3. (I swear I had it in January 2020 before it was a thing and it was rough)
But I wanted to pop on here bc I think this message is important.
I have an autoimmune disease AND recovering from covid soooo I have to take extra measures to take care of myself right now. This means my response times may be delayed and I may not be posting as much as you or I would like.
Yes, I have a BAJILLION things on my to-do this.
Yes, I am still running a business.
BUT my health comes first above all else bc when I don’t have my health, nothing else happens.
So here’s what’s going on behind the scenes—🤪
🌙 I’m prioritizing the top TWO things I absolutely have to get done each day
🌙 I’m taking rest breaks in between tasks
🌙I’m stopping work (mostly 😇) by 5pm
🌙 I’m taking baby steps to begin moving my body again (10 min max body weight movement exercises
🌙 I’m spending more time meditating and doing breathwork
So that’s running a biz and running the full time biz called managing an autoimmune disease…all while navigating my tendency to work 24/7 🤣🤣
Anyone have Qs about recovering from c*vid with an autoimmune disease? My comments and DMs are open!

Hi, I’m Holly! 🤗
For those new to this corner of IG, I want to say a big WELCOME! I am so happy you’re here ☺️
I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at 19 years old, later diagnosed as Ulcerative Colitis.
I’ve spent the last 14 years diving into nutrition, stress management, alternative therapies, trying all different types of IBD medications, you name it I’ve tried it. All to figure out what works best for me, so that I could live my life on my terms.
Along the way I ran a marathon, lived in Spain (twice!), traveled all over the world, moved cross country, and many other things in between.
Now I help people just like me with IBD to regain their quality of life and partner with them to build habits that get them closer to remission.
Fun facts about me 😜
🌊I’m scuba certified and have seen a shipwreck and a shark
🤠I grew up in South Carolina and now am a California-Carolina hybrid living in LA
👗I love thrifting!
🐶I can’t walk past a dog without petting it
🏝I prefer to be barefoot in the sand than to dress up in heels
Your turn! Tell me something fun about you!

Confession: I’m not a fan of cooking 🤷🏻‍♀️
It exhausts me more than anything else and I just don’t have the patience for it. 5 ingredients / 30 minutes or less is a must or I just won’t do it.
I honestly wish I enjoyed it 🫣
So I wanted to share all of my grocery list staples for quick meals throughout the week that I can mix and match.
HOLLS HAUL…(save for later!)
🍓Fruit: berries, apples, grapes, bananas, frozen fruit for smoothies, and seasonal fruits like peaches
🥦Veggies: broccoli, spinach, Brussel sprouts, asparagus, frozen carrots, frozen stir fry mix
🍠Starches: Sweet potatoes, frozen rice packets, cauliflower gnocchi
🥩Protein: Ground beef/turkey, chicken breasts, chicken sausages
🥑Extras: guacamole, dates, , peanut butter
What are your weekly grocery staples?

Having a chronic illness can feel like a rollercoaster 🎢
✨There is pain, but also moments of joy.
✨There is frustration, but also times of encouragement.
✨There is despair, but also an appreciation for the little things in life.
✨There is lots of fatigue, but also value placed on self-care.
✨There is physical weakness, but also an incredible amount of inner strength.
Chronic illness warriors don’t look or act one certain way.
They make not even look sick.
They/we even have seasons of feeling *really good*.
It’s all about kindness always. You never know what someone is going through.
Thank you for including me in your amazing project to spread awareness of the chronic illness community 🫶🏼
