Managing Patient Expectations: What Functional Medicine Can and Can’t Do: GFS Podcast 077

Do you think that Functional Medicine can heal or cure you? Do you think it’s a surefire silver bullet that’s guaranteed to reverse any amount of damage to your body? Well, I think it’s high time for a dose of reality for managing patient expectations regarding what Functional Medicine can and can’t do for you. Don’t get me wrong here, I am a fan of Functional Medicine. But what I see online and hear from readers of my newsletter seems like there are some real misconceptions about how this type of medicine can help you (as well as how long it will take to actually feel better).

How Much Sugar Is Too Much? (Here’s How To Tell): GFS Podcast 101
Gluten Free School Podcast
by Jennifer Fugo, MS, CNS
5y ago
If you’ve ever wondered “How much sugar is too much sugar?“, you’re in for a treat! Before I can break that down for you, you have to know how to figure out the amount of sugar in your food. That’s the most complicated part of this process. You’ve probably noticed that all of the nutrition information is listed in grams. But do you even know what a gram of sugar looks like or what it means for your health? Probably not. Most people don’t have any idea. That’s because a gram isn’t a tangible real-life measurement that you use within the cooking world (unless you’re weighing your ingredients). I ..read more

I know you have good intentions, but we need to talk… You’re trying so hard to be healthy this holiday season… doing your best to make better choices and eat less junk even though you’re addicted to sugar. With the hopes that after the holidays, you’ll simply start fresh. But I know you have your doubts about whether you can actually follow through with that in January. Last year probably didn’t go as planned (especially if you were one of the many who got sick). You didn’t get as far as you had hoped. But this year’s gotta be better, right? Well, that all depends on a number of factors that y ..read more

How Post Birth Control Syndrome Affects Liver Detoxification Years Later with Dr. Jolene Brighten: GFS Podcast 099
Gluten Free School Podcast
by Jennifer Fugo, MS, CNS
5y ago
One common thread for clients with hormone issues is post birth control syndrome that can rear it’s ugly head years later. Wait… did you just say post birth control syndrome? What the heck is that?!?! It’s a very real issue that results from being currently on or having taken birth control pills (BCPs) — even if it was 10, 15 or 20 years ago! What most people don’t know is that hormones (like estrogen) are detoxified by your liver to be removed from active circulation. They also don’t realize that BCPs essentially shut down communication between your brain and your ovaries. Because your body ..read more

Demystifying Liver Detox (And What To Do Instead): GFS Podcast 098
Gluten Free School Podcast
by Jennifer Fugo, MS, CNS
5y ago
In my opinion, the term “detoxing” is thrown around way too much. (Especially liver detox!) It seems like every other product released into the marketplace is detoxing something. Your skin… Your gut… Your liver… Your blood… Your lymphatic system… The list goes on and on. But one thing has become quite clear to me → the general public has no idea what it really means to detoxify anything. Nor are most people aware of their body’s innate capability to detoxify on its own. Two questions come to my mind! Why are we so obsessed with pushing the detoxification process harder? And is forcing detoxifi ..read more

What If It Isn’t Adrenal Fatigue? (The Hidden Reason Why You’re Still Tired): GFS Podcast 097
Gluten Free School Podcast
by Jennifer Fugo, MS, CNS

Apparently everyone who’s chronically tired has adrenal fatigue. It’s pretty easy to self-diagnose it thanks to the nearly three million search results for the term on Google. While I certainly believe in adrenal fatigue (and even had it myself back in 2009), most of my clients who swear they have this issue end up with something else. It typically comes as a big surprise because everything they’ve read has convinced them that their exhaustion is due to pooped adrenals. But what I’m going to say will fly in the face of adrenal fatigue. The reason is that a chronic energy deficit can be due to ..read more

Do Food Sensitivities Make You Sick? (Unconventional advice) – GFS Podcast 096
Gluten Free School Podcast
by Jennifer Fugo, MS, CNS
5y ago
Do food sensitivities make you sick? It’s certainly possible. There’s a lot of controversy around food sensitivities and if they’re even real! If you want to know more about what they are (and what they aren’t), I have a great post you can read (HERE). The reason I bring this topic up today is that in my clinical experience, food sensitivities have been overemphasized. And that ultimately causes some pretty alarming issues, which I hope you can avoid. Even though tons of articles online as well as functional medicine practitioners act like you can just take these foods out and you’ll get bette ..read more

Breathing Exercises To Reduce Stress For Gut & Skin Health: GFS Podcast 094
Gluten Free School Podcast
by Jennifer Fugo, MS, CNS

Everyone’s stressed out. And I’m willing to bet good money that until now, you’ve probably managed to muscle your way through it. You put on a strong, brave face, right? I get it… I’ve got plenty of clients who do that daily. Heck, I’ve used that method myself for many years in the past. But it really doesn’t help long-term… all it really does is run up a metaphorical loan made of anger, resentment, and frustration that eventually comes due. And we’re often never prepared for when that happens. It’s usually at the most inconvenient time when you feel like your body and health are betraying you ..read more

How to Silence Your Inner Critic, Get Answers & Take Action: GFS Podcast 093
Gluten Free School Podcast
by Jennifer Fugo, MS, CNS
5y ago
Your inner critic can be the most deadly opponent you face. Day in and day out, it’s willing to go to awful lengths to keep you small, feeling trapped, and never making any changes no matter how necessary. And for that very reason, today’s podcast is one of the most personal I’ve ever recorded. If I’d heeded the cruel words of my own inner critic, I likely wouldn’t be here today… not just as a clinical nutritionist, but as a healthy person. I listened to an inner voice… and I’m sharing what I heard that changed the course of my life and helped me win. And hey, if you haven’t yet subscribed to ..read more
