Back in January, I did a big poll to better understand the problems that you, my listeners, are currently dealing with. And one of the BIGGEST problems that came up was something I just really haven't talked a lot about yet - hormones. There were four categories of hormonal questions that came up around: periods, pregnancy & postpartum, perimenopause, and PCOS. I find that MOST conversations around these hormones make them sound SUPER complicated, but in reality, they can be explained, and supported, in SUPER simple ways. So I wanted to create my own series showing you exactly how I think ..read more

  A couple of weeks ago, a client of mine said to me, "I know I need to relax to heal, but I can't relax; literally, I can't sit still. If I do, I feel like I'm going to jump out of my skin." When he said this, I realized that he was not the only client who had told me this before. Many of my clients feel that relaxing is very difficult, all for different reasons and different life stages. Maybe you're a mom with too many things to do. Or you're a business owner with an endless list of tasks to complete. Or you're a teacher and father who juggles taking his kids to school and showing up t ..read more

Back in January, I put out a poll asking ya'll to share with me what were the top symptoms you were dealing with. I wanted to see what problems you were having the most so that I could make sure we were having episodes with that content on the podcast. Turns out, one of the TOP results of symptoms ya'll are dealing with is anxiety. So today, I'm talking all about anxiety. Not from the perspective of your mind and thoughts (cause I'm no psychologist), but from the perspective of your body. Your anxiety is NOT all in your head, your thoughts, or your mindset. I regularly get clients who are able ..read more

I recently had a friend of mine ask me, "Does animal fat really cause inflammation?" She was reading a pop-culture book on gut health, and in this book, it was really hammering away at animal fat and animal meat being major inflammation-causing foods. Since she was wondering this, I figured you might be, too. So I'm dedicating an entire episode to answering if animal fat and meat are inflammatory, and if so, when and under what circumstances can you eat meat and fat without it causing inflammation? If you want to know EXACTLY which foods to eat to feel your best or are struggling with chronic ..read more

Recently, a friend of mine asked me: "If I heal my gut inflammation, does that get rid of my whole body inflammation, too?" It was such a good question, that I decided to make a whole podcast episode exploring this answer!

If you feel like your body is inflamed, you aren't sure if you're dealing with inflammation, or you don't see any reduction in your symptoms despite taking special supplements or eating anti-inflammatory foods - t ..read more

When my client Ti came to me, she was dealing with bloating, constipation, brain fog, bad breath, and water retention that didn't improve no matter WHAT she tried.

On today's episode, listen in to Part 2 of my client Ti's journey as she walks through the Better Belly Method, my signature process to healing the gut and the entire body without lifelong supplements or extreme food restrictions. Spoiler Alert: e ..read more

One of the most common patterns I hear from clients coming into my office is women in their 30's+ telling me: "All my symptoms started or got significantly worse after having child # __." When they come in, they're dealing with symptoms of brain fog, weight gain, anger & irritability, low libido, weak muscles, fatigue, insomnia OR wanting to sleep all the time, acid reflux, new or increasing food sensitivities, bloating, and more. At the very minimum, these women are told by their doctors that this is a normal part of motherhood and to just suck it up. At most, a doctor will blame all of t ..read more
