THE BETTER BELLY PODCAST - Natural Constipation Remedies, Acid Reflux, Hormones, Gut Health, Functional Medicine

Happy May! As we step into the months of April and May, I (Allison) am finishing up my maternity leave. To give me a break from podcasting, we're pulling content from our group coaching calls inside our private coaching group, the Better Belly Blueprint, to share with YOU.  Today's topic is from my client Krista. She asked: "What are the possible causes of oxalates being that high? I had no candida or mold on my OAT and I don't feel like I overeat oxalates... To be truthful, my true vices in everything that I have given up have oxalates - coffee, dark chocolate and a good glass of red wine. I am giving up wine this month while doing these protocols (as well as all alcohol) - which I only had 2 glasses a week. I am weaning off coffee (only had two literal sips today of half calf because I LOVE the taste) and I am really hoping I don't have to completely give up chocolate - but what do you think?" Krista's question comes from the fact that she got testing inside our program that showed that she has elevated levels of oxalates in her body that was part of the root causes driving her symptoms. Oxalates come from a variety of places, but one place you can control them the most is in your diet.  What she REALLY wanted to know is - what foods does she actually have to give up? Is it all foods with oxalates? Is her oxalate problem really about food - or is it possibly something else? This is a GREAT question and one that opened us up to talking about the DEEPER root causes of oxalates other than food (because oxalate sensitivity is NEVER just about food!). If you've ever looked into a low oxalate diet, or if you're stuck on a low oxalate diet and want to know if you can EVER come off - then THIS episode is for you! Additionally - I have a WHOLE podcast episode on oxalates you can check out - 148// The Oxalate Episode. If you're new to oxalates or want to do an even deeper dive into them, then I highly recommend checking this episode out next! P.S. ~ If you want to ask questions to me JUST LIKE THIS ONE and get my live feedback, now you can!

Have you ever started a new supplement, and had your symptom not get better but WORSE? Were you confused by this, and wondered if you should keep taking the supplement or stop altogether? If you said yes to either of these questions, then this episode is for you! On today's episode, we're sharing an audio from one our private, group coaching calls for members of my program, the Better Belly Blueprint. On this coaching question, I'm coaching my client Barbara about a rash on a neck she had suddenly return upon starting a new supplement. Based on the training inside the Better Belly Blueprint, Barbara connected that this new supplement may be creating something called a Herxheimer reaction, or a detox and die-off reaction, so she stopped the supplement. What she WASN'T sure about was - when (if ever?) could she safely re-start the supplement?  If you've ever been in a similar place to Barbara and have wondered about if you should keep taking a supplement if it gives you symptoms and, if yes, when or how to take that supplement safely - then you DON'T want to miss out on my answer to Barbara!  P.S. ~ If you want to ask questions to me JUST LIKE THIS ONE and get MY live feedback, now you can!

Have you ever done a protocol, and wondered if it was making any difference? Or even more specifically - have you ever done a candida protocol and wondered if it worked, or if you needed to do it again? If you said "yes" to any of these questions, then you are just like my client Elizabeth! In today's episode, I'm sharing a question from one of our group coaching calls inside my private coaching group, the Better Belly Blueprint, to share with YOU.  Today's topic on candida is from my client Elizabeth. She asks: "How do I know when my candida is gone? As a reminder, I'm re-doing my candida protocol on week 4. (Update: I got diarrhea with the candida treatment the first round, but I don't now!). I do continue to get bloating after I eat any meal.  Should I re-test for candida after I finish my protocol? I just want to know what exactly is causing the bloating and why it isn't gone yet!" What she REALLY wanted to know is - why is her bloating still here? And how can she know if the candida is gone if she still has that particular symptom? It can TOTALLY be rough going through a protocol and seeing improvement in some symptoms, but not in others (especially one(s) that you care about the most!). So if you've ever had anxiety around this question before, you DON'T want to miss my answer to Elizabeth! P.S. ~ If you want to ask questions to me JUST LIKE THIS ONE and get my live feedback, now you can!

Happy April! As we step into the months of April and May, I (Allison) am on maternity leave. To celebrate this, we're pulling content from our group coaching calls inside our private coaching group, the Better Belly Blueprint, to share with YOU.  Today's topic is from my client Lynne. She asked: "I have received my results from my 2nd HTMA test, and I'm not sure how to interpret it. I have rewatched the HTMA analysis video, but still not confident I know what changes to make to my protocols (if any). Can you help confirm if I'm understanding this correctly?" Lynne's question comes from the powerful fact that inside our program, the Better Belly Blueprint, we teach YOU how to be your own best healer through lab interpretation and analysis - saving you time and money AND giving you the power to understand your own body's areas that need to heal.  What Lynne REALLY wanted to know is - can I help her be confident that she's understanding her new lab re-test correctly before she moves forward with her plan? So cool! How much would YOU like to get support, just like this, to feel 100% confident you're moving in the right direction in your healing? A lot, right! And Lynne got ALL this for 3 months of coaching for just one, low fee (that usually is the cost of ONE appointment with a functional health practitioner!). If you want to ask questions to me JUST LIKE THIS ONE and get my live feedback just like Lynne did - now you can!

Today's topic is from my client Krista. She asked:"I was just curious if you think I need someone to help me with meal planning. I am so type A that everything I hear about health and wellness I take to the T and then I am constantly worrying about my protein (eating good fat, but not too much; not avoiding carbs - eating more veggies, choosing the fiber rich carbs). All of this is good, but I feel like I over-stress about it so much that I don't even listen to my body and how it feels! In your opinion, what do I really need to dial in as far as nutrition while I am trying to heal my gut?"Krista's question comes on the heels of having made some great improvements in her health and symptoms such as having more energy in afternoon, being able to function perfectly with NO coffee/caffeine, bloating being down, distention is 50% better, and being able to fall asleep MUCH faster through the night. What she REALLY wanted to know is - would hiring a nutritionist heal her heal her gut faster?This is a SUPER common question I get ask, and I'm so excited to share my real answer with you today!P.S. ~ If you want to ask questions to me JUST LIKE THIS ONE and get my live feedback, now you can!

Happy April!As we step into the months of April and May, I (Allison) am on maternity leave. To celebrate this, we're pulling content from our group coaching calls inside our private coaching group, the Better Belly Blueprint, to share with YOU. Today's topic is from my client Elizabeth. She asked:"Is it possible that some food sensitivities are caused because of mold exposure? If so, after doing mold detox - is it possible for gluten and dairy sensitivities to go away?"Elizabeth's question comes from the fact that she got toxic mold testing inside our program that showed that she has mold colonization in her body that was part of the root causes driving her symptoms. She also got advanced food sensitivity testing showing foods she was temporarily sensitive to and foods she was permanently sensitive to. (For more information on this food sensitivity test - be sure to subscribe to hear our podcast episode on this coming out in June!)Gluten and dairy technically were on her permanent food sensitivity list, so what Elizabeth REALLY wanted to know is - can any of her permanent food sensitivities ever go away?This is a SUPER common question I get ask, and I'm so excited to share my real answer with you today!P.S. ~ If you want to ask questions to me JUST LIKE THIS ONE and get my live feedback, now you can!

After 10 years, I no longer have an IBS diagnosis or any correlating symptoms. Learn my top 10 lessons I learned in 10 years of healing.---10 years ago, in the spring of 2015, my own, personal sickness journey began with unexplained and sudden nighttime insomnia.At the time, I had NO idea that this seemingly small but annoying symptom was the beginning of a massive decline in my health that would not be slowed or corrected no matter what advice I followed, who I talked to, or how much money I spent. Now - 10 years later - I have NONE of the original symptoms or diagnosis of IBS, insomnia, or constipation that I started with in 2015. And not only that, but my entire life is changed. My career is changed, my lifestyle is changed, and my mental and physical health is better than it had been my entire childhood.So, to celebrate my 10 year anniversary of becoming (and undoing) being sick, I've gathered my Top 10 Lessons from 10 years of struggling, succeeding, and failing my way through IBS and into complete, whole body healing.Whether you're in the beginning of your own healing journey or have been in this journey for 5, 10, 20, or 30+ years, I hope these 10 lessons bring you hope, insight, tears, and catharsis of how healing is not a straightforward journey, but if you keep honest and true to your values and needs, you WILL find the healing you're looking for.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - My 10-Year Healing Journey Begins01:25 - Welcome to the Better Belly Podcast02:30 - Unexpected Changes and Realizations05:12 - Top 10 Lessons from a Decade of Healing06:25 - Lesson 1: Healing Comes from Where You Least Expect It14:56 - Lesson 2: Your Body Will Guide You to Your Next Healing24:20 - Lesson 3: Your Symptoms Are Not the Enemy27:31 - Lesson 4: Healthcare Providers Aren't Immune to Health Issues28:27 - Overcoming Health Imperfections30:30 - The Journey to Healing32:15 - Addressing Multiple Health Issues33:32 - The BetterBelly Blueprint34:24 - Working Through Health Layers37:56 - Staying Curious and Finding Good Healers47:36 - Bonus Lesson: Unique Healing Practices51:13 - Final Thoughts and EncouragementEPISODES MENTIONED:1// My Story & How I Healed Myself from IBS90// Fascia 101: The Hidden Force Behind Bloating and Constipation36// How to Choose The Best Chiropractor with Dr. Zach Simkins and Dr. Tygue Arvidson228// My Top 5 Best and Worst Health Investments56// What I’ve Been Doing in My Health Since My Miscarriage + Registration is OPEN!!73// Surprise – I’m Pregnant!!

Do you struggle with feeling like you're stuck in chronic fight or flight?Do you have chronic health issues, and you've heard that your gut health may be linked to your nervous system dysregulation (and vice versa), but you don't know where to start or what will actually work to heal your nervous system?Do you worry that trauma may be behind your chronic illness or chronic health issues, but despite trying dozens of mind body therapies or exercises, you feel like you've made little to no progress in healing your nervous system?If you said yes to any of these questions, then this episode is for you.On today's episode, we're continuing Part 3 of our Brain-Gut Axis Series with Dr. Julia Colangelo, a professor of mindfulness at Columbia University, and a fellow traveler on thid mind-body healing journey.Today, Dr. Julia is going to reveal some AMAZING tips and rarely-talked-about information on WHY trying to regulate your nervous system hasn't created the change or healing you've been looking for - and maybe has even added stress or confusion to your healing journey.Dr. Julia Colangelo is an award-winning educator, speaker, and research on flow - a state of mindfulness that is different than just meditating, and doesn't require you to feel peaceful at all times. As an educator and flow researcher, Julia advises and coaches visionaries, global leaders, public figures, and celebrities. Julia lives on Maui with her little family, and travels globally to speak and consult on mindfulness, flow, creativity, and nervous system regulation and expansion.Dr. Julia trains at companies like LinkedIn, Convene, and more. Her work has been featured in Glamour Magazine, The Washington Post, & The Huffington Post. Julia hosts private retreats, events and coaching experiences that are innovative, fun, and integrate flow strategies and self-awareness exercises for sustainable creativity and alignment personally and professionally.Dr. Julia launched The Flow Brain which teaches nervous system regulation to enter a flow state through nature and neuroscience and encourages a transformative approach to self-healing by entering sustainable flow states.If you've been frustrated with finding the same advice on nervous system regulation online, if you feel like all your problems are in your nervous system (but you can't figure out how to unlock it from it's state of fight and flight), or if you've avoided the topic of nervous system regulation because of feelings of shame or overwhelm around it - then I hope that listening to Dr. Julia today is a breath of FRESH air that breaths into your soul and unlocks new growth and feelings of freedom for you - in both your mind and body.
