Is bloating “normal?”
Not exactly.

A little bloat after a big meal? Fine.

But daily bloat that leaves you unbuttoning your jeans or looking 6 months pregnant? That’s not normal—but IT IS common

Here’s what could actually be going on⤵️

🔹 Low stomach acid
You might think you have too much acid—but it’s usually the opposite.
Tip: Chew your food well and try digestive bitters or ACV before meals to boost acid naturally

🔹 Gut imbalance (dysbiosis)
If carbs make you blow up like a balloon, your gut bacteria might be out of balance.
Cutting carbs or eating low-FODMAP aren’t longterm fixes—restoring balance is

You don’t have to live with bloating just because someone says it’s “normal.” You deserve to feel GOOD in that body of yours!

It’s pomegranate season—and your gut, brain + menstrual cycle absolutely want you to take advantage. Here’s why these ruby seeds are worth the effort⤵️⤵️

1️⃣ They feed your good gut bugs.
Pomegranates are loaded with polyphenols—aka prebiotic fuel for Akkermansia muciniphila, the gut guardian linked to metabolic health, better digestion, and a stronger gut barrier🤝

2️⃣ They’re a brain + metabolic power move.
Ellagic acid supports cognition, protects the gut lining, and has impressive cancer-fighting + metabolic benefits. Think: sharper, steadier, more resilient💪🏼

3️⃣ They’re a follicular-phase secret weapon.
The antioxidants in pomegranates protect eggs (and s***m) from oxidative damage! They also support rising estrogen, help rebuild the uterine lining + boost blood flow (hi, vitamin K)

Crack them open. Sprinkle the seeds on everything. Your gut, hormones, and brain will love you for it!

Don’t the the holiday season be another “f*ck, I’ll deal with it in January” moment...

Because this is when most people spiral—more sugar, more stress, more booze, more late nights, more bloating, more “why am I so tired”

This is no way to party (or support longevity)!

Maybe it’s the perfect time to stop “trying everything” and swap your DIY health plan (that you can never stick to) for a personalized plan with guidance + accountability. One that makes sense for your symptoms, your schedule, and your goals

What working with me actually looks like⤵️⤵️

✦ Free Discovery Call: 15 minutes to make sure we’re aligned
✦ Onboarding: structured forms so I can understand your symptoms + goals
✦ 90-Minute Initial Consultation: immediate, actionable recommendations while we wait for labs
✦ Lab Testing: GI-MAP 💩 + MRT 176 to finally see root causes
✦ Support Sessions (x3): tweaks, refinements, accountability, and unlimited message support as your body starts to shift

If you’re dealing with stubborn weight, bloating or digestive issues, hormonal chaos, skin flare-ups, or you just don’t want to spend another holiday season feeling inflamed and exhausted…

Start now. Not January.

Here’s the truth most people miss⤵️⤵️

You can eat “clean,” lift weights, take trendy supplements, hit your steps…and still feel “off”

Because optimal health isn’t just physical—it’s emotional, relational…and energetic⚡️

It’s the way you speak to yourself

How you sleep

Who you’re spending your time with

The boundaries you hold

The stress you ignore

The feelings you keep pretending you don’t have…

So I’m going to say this gently but directly:
You cannot out-supplement or out-exercise a life that’s draining you🪫

When you support all parts of yourself—your body, your mind, your hormones, your digestion, and especially your nervous system—everything changes.
Your energy. Your digestion. Your clarity. Your mood. Your confidence.

If you’re wanting to learn how to do this in a way that actually applies to YOUR life…

If you’re 35+ and feeling—even just a few of these symptoms—you might be closer to perimenopause than you think ⤵️⤵️⤵️

✅ Changes to your cycle: mood swings, intense PMS, shorter or longer cycles, or “crime scene” periods
✅ Symptoms like itchy skin or ears; crepey or sagging skin
✅ Bloating and digestive issues no matter what you eat
✅ Signs of excess estrogen (or poor estrogen clearance) like breakouts, painful breasts, or heavier periods with clots

These clues are often tied to declining progesterone—the hormone responsible for calm, sleep, mood stability, stress resilience, and ease

But here’s the empowering part💪🏼
You can support your body right now with simple, strategic habits⤵️
Blood sugar stability. Fiber. Whole-food phytoestrogens. Better sleep hygiene. Nervous system nourishment. Gentle movement. Liver support. Cycle tracking. Consistency > intensity

And if you want the ultimate roadmap—broken down in bite-sized chunks—it’s inside my signature course. And if you want a customized plan from a functional nutritionist—DM me to set up a time to chat

Eat Better. Feel Better.

Hi! I’m Christina Shadle an NTA-certified Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP) based in Los Angeles, CA. I specialize in empowering my clients to get in the kitchen and fuel their health with real food and heal through simple lifestyle changes. I also have a degree in communication with concentrated studies in speech from California State University, Chico and am a recovering Type-A public relations professional with a whole host of irritable bowel issues myself. Outside of office hours and wellness research, you can usually find me taking a yoga or pilates class, attending concerts, or traveling with friends.

I work with clients locally and virtually all over the globe and am also the co-creator of Mindful Munchies, a munchie-making blog dedicated to empowering those who “don’t have time to cook” get in the kitchen and discover how simple it is to prepare healthy swaps to cure the junk food cravings that often derail our health.

As your FNTP…

I discover the root causes of your symptoms and work to help balance your foundations using nutrition and lifestyle recommendations.
