You can’t heal your gut if you’re stressed. Period.

If your body thinks it’s running from a tiger, it’s not worried about digesting your salad.

Digestion isn’t just about what you eat — it’s about the state your body is in when you eat.
When you’re stressed, anxious, or running on cortisol, your nervous system shifts into fight-or-flight. Blood flow leaves your gut, enzymes shut down, and food literally can’t digest.

That’s why you can be eating all the gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free food in the world and still feel bloated, tired, or inflamed.

Your body doesn’t need more food rules. It needs safety.

Regulate your nervous system → restore digestion → receive true nourishment.

Be honest with yourself. Why do you feel anxious, stressed, worried, upset? Start here.

Taking some deep breaths and being present while eating can help, but if you don’t address the root of your dysregulated nervous system – you’re going to be stuck in this loop.

It’s time to stop fighting your body – and start listening to it.

What if you had a blueprint that showed you how to listen and align with what is correct for you? ✨

Did you know your mood, sleep, and energy start in your gut?

Your gut microbes and the food you eat make 3 essential amino acids—phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan. These are the raw materials for:

💚 Serotonin → mood + motility
💤 Melatonin → circadian rhythm + sleep
⚡ Dopamine & norepinephrine → motivation + focus
🔥 Thyroid hormones → metabolism

❌ But here’s the problem: glyphosate, the world’s most common herbicide, blocks the shikimate pathway in plants and microbes. That means less of these amino acids… and disrupted neurotransmitter and hormone production in your gut–brain axis.

Want to protect your neurotransmitters?

✅Choose organic 🌱
✅Eat plenty of bio-available protein which contains all amino acids 🍳
✅Support your microbiome with prebiotic + fermented foods 🥬
✅Use a high-quality water filter that removes glyphosate
✅Support your circadian rhythm

Your gut isn’t just about digestion—it’s where your brain chemistry begins. 🧬

If you’re ready to restore your gut microbiome and to detox glyphosate – let’s chat.

⏰Your gut has a clock—and if it’s out of sync, so is your metabolism.

If you’ve been struggling with bloating, blood sugar imbalance, low energy, stubborn weight, or unpredictable digestion…�👉 It might not be what you’re eating—it might be when.

Your gut microbiome follows a daily rhythm. It syncs with your master circadian clock to regulate digestion, inflammation, hormones (like leptin!), and fat metabolism.

But modern life—artificial and blue lights, late meals, inconsistent sleep—throws that rhythm off.

🌟 In my upcoming webinar The Gut Rhythm Reset, I’ll show you how to reconnect with your body’s natural timing system to restore digestion, energy, and metabolic health.

Date: Wednesday, September 3rd
12:00pm – 1:30pm PST

In this live training, you’ll learn:

✅The link between circadian rhythm and your gut microbiome
✅How disruption impacts digestion, energy, sleep, and hormones�
✅Why leptin (your master metabolism hormone) needs specific light signaling to function optimally�
✅What science says about microbial timing and metabolism
✅Why when you eat may matter more than what�
✅Simple, actionable tools that you can start immediately to reset your circadian rhythm for better digestion, blood sugar, metabolism, and sleep

Your body doesn’t just “act up” at random — it responds.
To pressure. To misalignment. To energy that’s not yours.

Here are a few quiet ways your body might be telling you it’s out of sync:

⚠️ You’re constantly tired but can’t sleep
⚠️ Symptoms that don’t add up on paper
⚠️ You feel like you’re “doing all the right things” — but still feel off

This is what we unravel inside Your Body, By Design. ✨

🌱The nonprofit Organic Eye is revealing what we’ve known to be a huge issue with the organic food industry - we can no longer blindly follow the USDA Organic food label.

👉 Shop local as much as possible so that you can get to know your farmers. The farmers market is my favorite place to shop. You can also look for local CSA’s or even better, grow your own food!

🌱Check out their guide that shows which certifies are upholding the organic standards. I’m surprised to see the Oregon Tilth on the naughty list.

Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 (GLP-1), is a hormone that is getting a lot of attention for its role in glucose metabolism and appetite regulation. You’ve likely heard all of the buzz on these pharmaceutical injectables, such as Ozempic, and may even know someone who’s taking one.
 
What if I told you that the gut microbiome may influence GLP-1 secretion and you can increase GLP-1 naturally by supporting your gut health. As you know, I’m always looking for the root cause – for the “why”, instead of the band-aid approach.
 
Why are people low in GLP-1? It likely starts in the gut. Dysbiosis, or an imbalance in the gut microbiome, has been associated with obesity, insulin resistance, and inflammation—conditions often linked to impaired GLP-1 signaling.
 
GLP-1 is a hormone primarily secreted by L-cells in the distal small intestine and colon in response to nutrient ingestion. It plays a crucial role in glucose homeostasis by enhancing insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells, inhibiting glucagon release, and delaying gastric emptying. GLP-1 also exerts effects on the central nervous system, particularly in the hypothalamus, to regulate appetite and satiety.
 
SCFAs, such as acetate, propionate, and butyrate, are produced through microbial fermentation of dietary fibers and have been shown to regulate gut hormone release, including GLP-1.
This makes a diverse and balanced microbiome essential for optimal GLP-1 function.
 
Additionally, specific bacterial species have been linked to enhanced GLP-1 secretion. Bifidobacteria,  Akkermansia muciniphila, and Clostridium butyricum are associated with a healthy gut microbiome and have been shown to increase GLP-1 levels in both animal models and human studies. These bacteria may modulate GLP-1 through their production of SCFAs and other bioactive compounds that interact with L-cells in the gut.
 
The best way to determine if you are low in SCFA’s or these beneficial bacteria is through a gut microbiome test. From there we can target specific foods, prebiotics, and probiotics to target any low levels. Comment “GUT HEALTH” and we will send you a link with more info on how to order a test kit.
