Have you recently switched to a dairy-free diet and suddenly realized your old protein powder is off the table? Or maybe you’ve heard that most conventional protein powders are loaded with fillers, artificial sweeteners, gums, and even heavy metals — and now you’re wondering what safe, clean protein powder alternatives you’re actually supposed to buy. If you’re anything like me — or my clients — you’re probably standing in the protein aisle (or scrolling on Amazon) feeling completely overwhelmed. There are so many options… and let’s be honest: not all of them taste great, and not all of them are good for your gut. That’s why today, I’m breaking down the top 10 healthy, dairy-free, gluten-free, gut-friendly protein powders that my clients and I personally use and love. I’ll walk you through:who each powder is best for,why my clients liked it,and what makes each one a great fit for sensitive digestion. And make sure you stay until the end — because I’m revealing the TOP recommendations LAST. I’ll also give you a quick summary of which protein powders to try first depending on what’s going on in your body — whether you’re dealing with candida, want the best plant-based options, or you need something for a super-sensitive gut. As we head into the holiday season — with travel, treats, and routine changes — I hope these recommendations give you easy, delicious ways to support your gut, your energy, and your taste buds. TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Introduction to Dairy-Free Protein Powders 00:49 - Top 10 Healthy Protein Powders Overview 03:03 - Client Recommendations and Insights 04:08 - Whole Betty Vanilla Protein 06:22 - Organic Pumpkin Seed Protein 08:15 - Hemp Protein 10:18 - Flav City Almond Protein 12:35 - Paleo Valley Beef Protein 19:11 - True Nutrition Custom Protein Builder 21:57 - Exploring Protein Flavors and Sweeteners 22:27 - Understanding Gut Health and Sweeteners 23:25 - Customizing Your Protein Blend 23:53 - Nutrition Facts and Ingredient Insights 24:27 - Boost Options and Their Effects 26:28 - Recommendations for Protein Powders 27:33 - Collagen Protein: Benefits and Considerations 29:11 Top Protein Powder Picks 36:32 - Final Thoughts and Resources  EPISODES MENTIONED:234// Symptoms of Candida Overgrowth, How to Test for Candida, and Why the Candida Diet and Candida Cleanses Don't Work 😱(+ What to Do Instead!)178// Why Constipation Medicine and Laxatives Are Not Helping148// The Oxalate Episode: Why You Should Care About Oxalates171// 3 Dairy Free Foods for Creamy Cheese, Sauces, and PIZZA205// My 5 Favorite Grain Free Bread Recipes for a Healthy Gut170// 5 Tips to Go Gluten Free & Grain Free with EASE116// Why Going Gluten Free Hasn’t Healed Your Gas and Bloating279// Why Going Low FODMAP, Paleo, or Gluten-Free Isn’t Healing Your Gut PROTEIN POWDER LINKS:Organic Hemp Protein PowderWhole Betty Vanilla Protein Powder (Vegan)Organic Pumpkin Seed PowderFlavCity Almond Protein Powder (Vanilla Cream)Paleo Valley Beef Both Broth Protein Powder (Vanilla)True Nutrition Custom ProteinCollagen Protein Powder (this is the one I use)Equip Prime Beef Protein PowderBe Well Grass-Fed Protein Powder (Vanilla)Truvani Protein Powder HEAL YOUR GUT TODAY!Option #1) 👉 Join the Better Belly Blueprint today!Want to learn how BBB works? Watch this FREE training walking you through how to heal, once and for all!Option #2) 👉 Work long-term, 1:1 with me as a Better Belly VIP client (Pay-in-full and payment plan options available)Want to make sure that VIP is right for you? Book a FREE 20 Min Application Call! RESOURCES:Subscribe to our Weekly Podcast NewsletterDownload the entire Better Belly Podcast Vault!Grab my FREE 60+ Page Family Recipe Book (Gluten Free, Grain Free, and Dairy Free!)Download my Free Constipation Relief GuideGet Full Access to my Liver Detox Protocol for only $7!Get the Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis Spreadsheet LINKS:JOIN → Join our FREE Facebook Group FOLLOW → @betterbellytherapiesASK → Ask a Question for the PodcastWORK WITH US → betterbellytherapies.com SHOW US YOUR LOVE:If this podcast episode made positively impacted you, please leave a Rating and Review for the podcast.

What makes some people heal faster than others?And how can you use that information to speed up your own healing process? Since healing myself in 2018, I’ve worked with hundreds of men and women — in my clinic and online — to find and fix the root causes behind their gut, skin, sinus, hormone, and autoimmune issues. And after working with all these clients, I started asking myself: what made the difference that helps some clients heal fast, while others healed slow? Was it random who healed quickly? Or was it from invisible, uncontrollable factors like their genes? Turns out—it wasn’t random. And it definitely wasn’t genetics. There were clear, repeatable habits my fastest-healing clients shared.  Today, I’m breaking down the top 3 things my most successful clients do to heal their gut FAST—so you can do the same. TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Introduction: Why Do Some People Heal Faster? 00:58 - Welcome to the Better Belly Podcast 02:09 - Disclaimer: Factors That Can Slow Down Healing 03:56 - Key Habit #1: Complete All Recommended Testing 09:29 - Key Habit #2: Address Mold Issues Quickly 11:36 - Key Habit #3: Stay Open to Pivoting 20:23 - Conclusion and Invitation to Join Better Belly Blueprint 21:49 - Thanksgiving Wishes and Final Thoughts  EPISODES MENTIONED: HEAL YOUR GUT TODAY!Option #1) 👉 Join the Better Belly Blueprint today!Want to learn how BBB works? Watch this FREE training walking you through how to heal, once and for all!Option #2) 👉 Work long-term, 1:1 with me as a Better Belly VIP client (Pay-in-full and payment plan options available)Want to make sure that VIP is right for you? Book a FREE 20 Min Application Call! RESOURCES:Subscribe to our Weekly Podcast NewsletterDownload the entire Better Belly Podcast Vault!Grab my FREE 60+ Page Family Recipe Book (Gluten Free, Grain Free, and Dairy Free!)Download my Free Constipation Relief GuideGet Full Access to my Liver Detox Protocol for only $7!Get the Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis Spreadsheet LINKS:JOIN → Join our FREE Facebook Group FOLLOW → @betterbellytherapiesASK → Ask a Question for the PodcastWORK WITH US → betterbellytherapies.com SHOW US YOUR LOVE:If this podcast episode positively impacted you, please leave a Rating and Review for the podcast.

Have you been diagnosed with restless leg syndrome - but the iron pills or medications you've been given for it aren't giving you any relief? Do you struggle with chronic fatigue, and you've been told it's from restless leg syndrome, but nothing you try makes you feel more rested? If you’ve ever spent nights Googling “restless leg syndrome treatment” or “restless leg syndrome causes,” you know how frustrating RLS is. When I was diagnosed with restless leg syndrome in middle school, I felt the same confusion and frustration about my RLS. I was told it was because I had low iron. I took the supplement, and it maybe helped a little...but I still felt exhausted throughout the day. It wasn't until I became a functional health practitioner that I figured out what was causing my restless leg syndrome - and how to treat restless leg syndrome for myself in a way that actually WORKED. Now - I've found COMPLETE restless leg syndrome relief (which my husband is so grateful for!). And today, I'm going to teach you how you can do the same.  In today’s episode, we’re diving into the real root causes of Restless Leg Syndrome — the ones most doctors never mention. You’ll learn how restless leg syndrome connects to your brain, iron levels, airway health, and even your gut health — and what steps you can take to finally find restless leg syndrome relief naturally. Restless leg syndrome isn't random, and you're not stuck with it for forever. It's time to teach you the root cause of restless leg syndrome so that your legs - and your sleep - can finally find some peace.  TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Introduction to Restless Leg Syndrome 00:26 - Allison's Personal Journey with RLS 01:04 - Understanding the Root Causes of RLS 01:37 - Welcome to the Better Belly Podcast 02:48 - Common Misconceptions and Diagnosis 03:33 - Allison's Personal Experience with RLS 06:50 - Theories and Causes of RLS 09:23- Low Iron Levels and RLS 15:12 - Airway Development and RLS 21:27 - Other Contributing Factors to RLS 25:42 - Conclusion and How to Get Help EPISODES MENTIONED:72// Why Your Iron and Vitamin D Are Still Low – Even After Taking Supplements285// 2 Steps to Reversing Your Acid Reflux (for good!)48// Got snoring, sleep apnea, TMJ, or teeth grinding?

Are you struggling with chronic conditions like chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, or IBS? Or - do you have a history of kidney stones, osteopenia / osteoporosis, depression, or anxiety? Have you tried to eliminate these conditions or symptoms and wondered why your body just won’t respond — no matter what you do? You’ve changed your diet. You’ve tried probiotics, detoxes, counseling, or gut health protocols… but your energy’s still low, your mood’s still off, and you feel stuck inside your own body. What if I told you your body might be trapped behind something called a calcium shell? A calcium shell is one of the most powerful patterns I see on HTMA testing — and it can explain everything from chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, brain fog, depression, and anxiety, to constipation, bloating, IBS, kidney stones, and even osteoporosis or osteopenia. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the right things but your body just isn’t budging — this episode is going to open your eyes. In this episode, you’ll learn:What a calcium shell isCommon causes of calcium shellsWhy so many people with hidden copper toxicity or thyroid issues have it without knowing I'll also cover what you need to do to reverse calcium shells — and why breaking through a calcium shell can completely change how your body responds to food, supplements, and stress. So if you’ve ever felt “Something’s missing” in your healing journey — this might be it! Let’s dive in. TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Introduction: Are You Struggling with Chronic Conditions? 00:36 - Understanding the Calcium Shell 01:40 - Welcome to the Better Belly Podcast 02:50 - Client Requests and Podcast Purpose 04:00 - What is a Calcium Shell? 06:34 - Symptoms and Case Study 12:17 - Testing for Calcium Shells 20:48 - Causes of Calcium Shells 28:45 - Treatment and Long-Term Solutions 34:19 - Client Success Story and Conclusion  EPISODES MENTIONED:274// Is Iodine Deficiency causing your constipation or hypothyroidism?159// Copper Toxicity: A Hidden Cause Behind Constipation & PMS148// The Oxalate Episode: Why You Should Care About Oxalates76// Heal Your Fibromyalgia [Testimonial – Sharon Pt. 1]40// Reduce Acid Reflux with the Magic Power of Zinc285// 2 Steps to Reversing Your Acid Reflux (for good!)237// C.

Have you ever wondered how to get OFF your PPI safely - without hurting your body in the process? This is one of the most common questions I get from my clients who are struggling with acid reflux. And I get it.  I’ve worked with clients on 1 PPI a day… 2 PPIs a day… even 3 PPIs a day PLUS tums and antacids stacked on top.  I’ve worked with a client told by doctors at the University of Michigan that there was nothing left they could do for her. And I’ve gotten clients like her all the way down to ZERO PPIs. Here’s the thing: if you’re on a PPI, your acid reflux is probably pretty severe. Stopping cold turkey can leave you in pain, afraid to eat, and stuck in fear. So - how do you get off PPIs safely? That is exactly what we’re covering today. On today's episode, we're diving into: The #1 thing stopping you from getting off PPIsHow to taper off PPIs without painStories of clients who’ve ended 20+ and even 40+ years of acid reflux with this approach If you’re ready to finally end your reflux for good - this episode is for you. TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Introduction: Safely Getting Off PPIs 01:14 - Welcome to the Better Belly Podcast 02:24 - Understanding the Fear of Stopping PPIs 05:28 - Steps to Safely Taper Off PPIs 06:53 - The Better Belly Blueprint Program 10:01 - Monitoring Symptoms and Adjusting PPIs 17:37 - Client Success Stories 19:03 - Conclusion and Next Steps EPISODES MENTIONED:285// Two Steps to Reversing Your Acid Reflux (for good!)Acid reflux testimonials:Andrea - 200// How to End 20+ Years of Constipation and Acid Reflux in 3 MonthsDon - 242// How He Ended 40+ Years of Diarrhea, Bloating, and Acid Reflux (Don's Testimonial)Jamie - 249// She Beat Her Bloat, Constipation, and Acid Reflux in One Month HEAL YOUR GUT TODAY!Option #1) 👉 Join the Better Belly Blueprint today!Want to learn how BBB works? Watch this FREE training walking you through how to heal, once and for all!Option #2) 👉 Work long-term, 1:1 with me as a Better Belly VIP client (Pay-in-full and payment plan options available)Want to make sure that VIP is right for you? Book a FREE 20 Min Application Call! RESOURCES:Subscribe to our Weekly Podcast NewsletterDownload the entire Better Belly Podcast Vault!Grab my FREE 60+ Page Family Recipe Book (Gluten Free, Grain Free, and Dairy Free!)Download my Free Constipation Relief GuideGet Full Access to my Liver Detox Protocol for only $7!Get the Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis Spreadsheet LINKS:JOIN → Join our FREE Facebook Group FOLLOW → @betterbellytherapiesASK → Ask a Question for the PodcastWORK WITH US → betterbellytherapies.com SHOW US YOUR LOVE:If this podcast episode positively impacted you, please leave a Rating and Review for the podcast.

I get asked about hiatal hernias all the time inside my program. And usually, the fear goes something like this: “My doctor told me I have a hiatal hernia, and that means I’ll always have acid reflux.” Unfortunately, this has caused a LOT of anxiety for my clients. Fortunately - it's WRONG. You can 100% get rid of acid reflux - even with a hiatal hernia. And you may not need surgery to do it. On today’s episode, I’m breaking down everything you need to know about hiatal hernias: ALL the symptoms of hiatal hernia (including the ones you may have never heard of)The hidden causes of hiatal hernia—why it happens in the first placeNatural hiatal hernia treatments that don’t involve invasive surgeryAnd how I reversed my own hiatal hernia during pregnancy - and saved myself months of pain and reflux If you’ve been told that your hiatal hernia will never go away, or that it’s the reason you’ll always have acid reflux, I hope this episode gives you hope and shows you EXACTLY what you can do about it. TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Introduction to Hidal Hernias and Acid Reflux 01:08 - Podcast Overview and Host Introduction 02:18 - Deep Dive into Hidal Hernias 04:09 - Understanding Hidal Hernias and Their Symptoms 06:51 - Causes and Diagnosis of Hidal Hernias 17:54 - Conventional and Natural Treatments 24:34 - Client Success Stories and Program Information 26:06 - Conclusion and Next Steps  EPISODES MENTIONED:46// The Gut-Breath Connection: How asthma, heart palpitations, constipation, IBS, and acid reflux are ALL connected131// 4 Steps to End Acid Reflux and Constipation at the SAME TIME129// Is Your Diaphragm Causing Your Constipation? 3 Quick Tests90// Fascia 101: The Hidden Force Behind Bloating and Constipation91// The Fascia Solution to Acid RefluxAcid reflux testimonials:Andrea - 200// How to End 20+ Years of Constipation and Acid Reflux in 3 MonthsDon - 242// How He Ended 40+ Years of Diarrhea, Bloating, and Acid Reflux (Don's Testimonial)Jamie - 249// She Beat Her Bloat, Constipation, and Acid Reflux in One Month HEAL YOUR GUT TODAY!Option #1) 👉 Join the Better Belly Blueprint today!Want to learn how BBB works? Watch this FREE training walking you through how to heal, once and for all!Option #2) 👉 Work long-term, 1:1 with me as a Better Belly VIP client (Pay-in-full and payment plan options available)Want to make sure that VIP is right for you? Book a FREE 20 Min Application Call! RESOURCES:Subscribe to our Weekly Podcast NewsletterDownload the entire Better Belly Podcast Vault!Grab my FREE 60+ Page Family Recipe Book (Gluten Free, Grain Free, and Dairy Free!)Download my Free Constipation Relief GuideFind a Craniosacral Therapy or Visceral Manipulation therapist near you using my easy, step-by-step guide!Get Full Access to my Liver Detox Protocol for only $7!Get the Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis Spreadsheet LINKS:JOIN → Join our FREE Facebook Group FOLLOW → @betterbellytherapiesASK → Ask a Question for the PodcastWORK WITH US → betterbellytherapies.com SHOW US YOUR LOVE:If this podcast episode positively impacted you, please leave a Rating and Review for the podcast.

Are you tired of chasing your acid reflux symptoms with PPI's, annoying food restrictions like the GERD diet, or hyper-vigilance about when and how much food you eat? When you ask your doctor if there's ANYTHING else you can do to help your acid reflux, do they tell you that you just need to pop another antacid, avoid trigger foods, or sleep on a wedge pillow? Do you wish there was a solution to acid reflux that was permanent, so you could eat late at night without worrying about a reflux flare, or that you could eat your favorite foods again without feeling punished for it later? If you said yes to any of these questions, then this episode is for you. On today's episode, my goal is to lay out acid reflux in one MASTER episode so that, by the end of it, you can have a map for exactly how to find, and deal with, the root cause(s) of your acid reflux. In this episode, I’m talking about: The real causes of acid reflux and GERD symptoms (and why it’s not “too much acid”)The difference between acid reflux, GERD, LPR, and silent reflux — and why this episode can help ALL of these diagnosesWhy standard acid reflux drugs (PPIs, acid reducers) give quick relief but cause long-term problemsHow the acid reflux diet and GERD diet miss the root causeAnd, most importantly, 2 steps to reversing your acid reflux (for good!) If you're tired of relying on medication to manage your acid reflux and want freedom from your stomach terror - then this episode is for you. TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Introduction to Acid Reflux Struggles 00:56 - Understanding Acid Reflux and GERD 01:44 - Welcome to the Better Belly Podcast 04:27 - The Anatomy and Symptoms of Acid Reflux 08:16 - Diagnosing Acid Reflux 10:24 - Causes of Acid Reflux 13:00 - Pressure Systems and Acid Reflux 25:49 - Conventional Treatments for Acid Reflux 28:25 - The Impact of Low Stomach Acid on Nutrient Absorption 29:32 - The Vicious Cycle of PPIs and Acid Reflux 31:29 - Steps to Reverse Acid Reflux 33:37 - Identifying Pathogens and Their Effects 40:09 - The Role of Histamine in Acid Reflux 40:49 - Fascial Restrictions and Their Impact 44:53 - Testing for Low Stomach Acid 48:05 - Comprehensive Testing and Treatment Plan 51:22 - Client Success Stories and Testimonials 53:08 - Conclusion and Next Steps  EPISODES MENTIONED:47// The Gut-Sinus Connection233// H.
