Constipation is not just a GUT issue

The story goes, to "fix" constipation, you must focus on the gut. You must have:

The perfect diet
Eliminate all the "trigger" foods
Incorporate the right supplements

This may look like simple tasks, but often following these three things can create more stress than healing AND this is only a sliver of the equation and the last thing you should be addressing. You must first look at what got you here in the first place. Constipation didn't just happen to you, it is an accumulation of habits overtime that create the expression of constipation.

Your habits are created by your beliefs
Your beliefs are created by your intentions
Your intentions are the expression of your life.

If you are sick of feeling sluggish and worrying about when you will p**p again, I have something special for you.

For the first time in almost two years, I am hosting a 2 hour masterclass on constipation where we focus on the full body presentation of constipation. We will cover the "woo" + the science of healing. You will learn:

✅ Your energetic blueprint codes for optimal digestion
✅ Techniques to physically connect with your body
✅ How to approach constipation using our integrated method of reducing burden, nervous system regulation, microbiome resilience and food freedom
✅ Patterns you can find in stool tests to give more clarity on the root cause of constipation

And so much more. If you are ready to take back your power to heal and learn how to heal your constipation by empowering yourself, comment P**P below and I will send you the link to register. You can also visit the link in my bio to register.

This is going to be a magical, fun, educational and new way to approach your gut health. I can't wait to see you on the inside!

Switching to functional medicine has been eye-opening for me in so many ways. One of the most significant lessons has been understanding how different blood types process food uniquely. What might work wonders for one person could spell trouble for another—it's all about personalized nutrition.

Investing in foods free from preservatives and additives has been a game-changer. While it may cost a bit more, the impact on health and wellbeing is well worth it, especially given the quality concerns in American food products.

Sleep has also emerged as a crucial pillar of health. Research indicates that women generally need more sleep than men, but quality rest is essential for everyone. It's during sleep that our bodies repair, rejuvenate, and reset—a vital aspect of overall wellness.

Supplements have become non-negotiable in my routine. Processed foods often lack the natural nutrients our bodies need, so supplementing ensures we get what we may be missing. It's about filling in the gaps for optimal health and vitality.

Remember, growth in health is a journey, not a sprint. Small, consistent changes add up over time, leading to significant improvements in how we look, feel, and function. Embrace the process and celebrate each step forward—it's these incremental changes that pave the way for lasting wellness. 🌱💪🏻

My 4-month Gut Revival Program aims to empower you with holistic insights, decode symptoms as messengers and move beyond restrictive diets and endless supplements. We nurture your body's rhythms and address root causes with personalized strategies tailored to your unique biochemistry.

Navigating digestive health can feel like wandering through a dense forest without a compass.

But what if you had a clarity roadmap guiding you to a place of balance and attunement? Building this roadmap is essential to bring your microbiome back into harmony and achieve lasting well-being.

Why do we need a clarity roadmap?

✨ Your digestive system is as unique as your fingerprint. One-size-fits-all solutions don’t work. Our clarity roadmap starts with understanding your biochemistry. Through precise testing, we create a tailored path that addresses your specific gut needs.

✨ Your gut's microbiome, a diverse community of microbes, is vital for digestion, immunity, and mood regulation. When out of balance, it can lead to various health issues. Rebalancing your microbiome is key to restoring its harmony and supporting overall health.

✨ Symptoms are your body’s way of communicating, not just random annoyances. Our roadmap helps you decode these signals, turning confusion into clear, actionable steps.

✨ Your body has its natural rhythm. A clarity roadmap aligns with these rhythms, ensuring that each step you take is in harmony with your body’s intrinsic processes. This alignment is crucial for sustained digestive health.

Crafting this roadmap involves more than just dietary changes. It’s about tuning into your body, understanding the intricate interplay of your gut’s ecosystem, and creating a personalized plan that brings everything back into balance. Imagine knowing exactly what your body needs and how to respond to its signals.

If you’re ready to embark on this journey towards digestive harmony and bring your microbiome back into balance, click on the link below to learn more about how we can build your personalized clarity roadmap together.

My 3 most potent tips to connect with the innate wisdom of your gut

Being in-tune with your gut is not just a health suggestion; it's a game-changer. Your gut communicates vital information to your body, influencing everything from digestion to mood. This intricate network highlights the profound connection between our gut health and overall well-being.

Most of us have never been taught the beauty of slowing down and tuning in. We are constantly taught to achieve, keep up, excel and never rest. This is a recipe for gut disaster.

So what can you do right now to change this story?

1. Touch Your Body
By simply putting your hands on your gut and feeling it, you can learn a lot. Pay attention to physical sensations and thoughts that come up as you connect with your body. Breathe into your gut and feel the gentle rise and fall of your hands as they hold your belly.

2. 4-7-8 Breathing Technique
I start all of my group sessions with this practice and its something you can do anytime. You can do it before you start work, before you go to pick up your child in the car, at your computer when something feels overwhelming. The point is, you can use this anytime you need to calm and regulate your nervous system.

3. Cold Plunge or Cold Shower
Cold exposure enhances immune function and teaches you to expand your capacity for discomfort. We are not living a life where we can just be "less stressed" we have to learn to increase our capacity to hold stress and teach our nervous system resiliency. A more regulated nervous system leads to better digestive function.

By fostering a deeper connection with our gut, you empower yourself to make informed choices that support your physical, mental, and emotional health.

Let's embrace this profound connection, honoring the wisdom of our "second brain" as we navigate the journey to holistic wellness. 🌿

I would love to hear what you do to connect with your body. Comment below!

When healing gets challenging, it’s easy for defeat to overshadow our hope.

Yet, during these times it's crucial to hold onto our inner knowing that healing is our birthright. This isn't just about positivity; it’s about staying connected to the energy and healing potential within us.

Our intentions and energy of who we want to be in the world shape our belief system which then dictates our habits.

Often, energetic and emotional healing is the missing piece in physical recovery. Our bodies are dynamic, intertwined with our emotions and energy. Addressing only the physical aspects can lead to temporary fixes. True, lasting healing comes from nurturing our emotional and energetic well-being, empowering us to transform our health and our lives.

Can you show up differently than you have in the past? Can you hold your hope and embrace a new way of being, even when the path gets challenging?

Imagine a new relationship with your body—one where you intuitively understand its needs and signals, and the wellness industry's noise fades into a whisper. Even in darkness, your light remains steady, guiding you to balance and health.

This is what the Gut Revival Program offers—a transformative 4-month journey to optimize your physical and energetic well-being. We’ll use advanced testing to uncover your unique biochemistry and build a healing plan. Through somatic work with , we’ll connect deeply with your body’s energy.

This program centers your humanity, acknowledging that behind every digestive issue is a whole person. We honor your rhythms, transforming symptoms into guiding lights. Even in the darkest moments, you’ll hold onto your light, illuminating a path to self-renewal and deeper body connection.

I’m here to guide you on this empowering journey. Ready to shine through the darkness? Comment "Healing" for details.

A healing food for one person can be poison for another.

We all have unique microbiomes, stress levels, traumatic experiences, belief systems and digestive capacity so why would one way of eating be best for all people?

It won't.

Our bodies and minds can respond differently to the same foods. This makes it important to either be super tuned in to how foods are making you feel or to measure and test how food is impacting your immune system. This was something that use to frustrate me endlessly as a dietitian. I was giving general advice based on symptom patterns but never truly seeing a persons unique biochemistry.

When you are struggling with digestive issues it is so common to:

➡️ Remove all general food triggers (gluten, dairy, cruciferous vegetables, FODMPA's, etc)
➡️ Fear your next meal and if its going to nurture or hurt your body
➡️ Go down endless research rabbit holes to try and identify "safe" and "healthy" foods

And guess what, this makes our digestive function worse.

In order to get clear on what foods are medicine for your body, you have to understand three key things:

1. How to regulate your nervous system
2. What foods are putting burden on your body (food sensitivity testing)
3. The diversity of your microbiome (stool testing)

When you have clarity, it becomes so much easier to navigate a healing journey. Our Gut Revival program was build on these three pillars. If you are ready to get the clarity you need to understand your body and heal your digestion, check out the Gut Revival program (link in bio)

The state of your gut health is linked directly to your hormonal health 😲

If you feel the typical symptoms of gut imbalance (think digestive symptoms, a lack of energy, a general state of ickiness, etc.), you may be surprised to learn that bloating + fatigue 💤 might actually be the least of your worries…

According to the 2017 review shared above, the gut microbiome is “one of the principal regulators of circulating estrogens.” Simply put, low microbial diversity reduces the amount of circulating estrogens, which can lead to a variety of pretty serious health issues—with PCOS, endometriosis, obesity, fertility issues + even cancer among them 😰

As always, being informed about the root causes of common health issues—and knowing how to implement proactive measures that support the foundations of wellness—are the absolute BEST ways to stave off discomfort + disease before they evolve into much bigger issues ✔️

All of this is to say that if:
- you’re suffering from digestive distress
- you’ve been diagnosed with an estrogen-related condition
- you *still* can’t find relief from your symptoms even under your MD’s care…
then I HIGHLY suggest that you take a much closer look at your gut! 🦠

Still have ?s and need some clarity? Share them below—or better yet, head to the link in bio + check out our GUT REVIVAL program. You can even book a 20 minute call to see which program is best for you! 📞

Happy Mother's Day to all the fearless and resilient mamas out there! 🌸

Whether you're a new mom, a seasoned pro, a care-giver, or a fur baby momma, this day is for you! Take a moment to celebrate the incredible love and strength that comes with being a mom and a woman in general. Let's honor all the late nights, endless cuddles, and superhero multitasking skills.

You're doing an amazing job, and I see you! 👏🏼

I invite you to get still and really tap into what do you need today. Outside of all the shoulds, expectations, emotions, to-do's, etc... what do you need. Can you hear the messages from your body, from your energy fields, from the universe?

I have often struggled with asking for what I need or felt guilty taking the alone time I know my nervous system needs to recalibrate. Especially for my Discerning and Chameleon Gut Archetypes, it can be extra tricky to put yourself first.

This is a reminder you are not alone and you deserve everything you need and ask for. Have a beautiful day my friends.

When women step out of the the males structures that we have been told we have to adhere to, it creates more permission to be ourselves and heal.

Survival is at the core of our stress responses. Traditionally, the fight-or-flight response has taken the spotlight, but has been found to be more characteristically male. Female responses to stress are centered around connection and collaboration or as the research refers to it... tend and befriend.

Tending involves nurturant activities designed to protect the self and offspring that
promote safety and reduce distress; befriending is the creation and maintenance of social networks that may aid in this process.

When women step out of the the males structures that we have been told we have to adhere to, it creates more permission to be ourselves. Understanding that our stress response differs from the general male dominated narrative is liberation.

Piece by piece we will build a new paradigm of healing that honors the power of the feminine narrative.
