PERFECTIONISM…According to Brene Brown, “Perfectionism is the addictive belief that if we can appear perfect, we can avoid shame.”Have you ever wondered if what you were doing in your health was driven by a healthy desire to improve?Or if it was driven by an unbending force demanding you to do everything perfectly?In this week’s episode, let’s discuss how to identify if fear and shame are manifesting in your health. I’ll also share 4 steps you can take today to slowly get out from under the pressure and demand of perfectionism!Other episodes mentioned in this episode:Food Sensitivities - Ep. 14// The #1 Lie About Food that I HATETesting for Food Sensitivities - Ep. 59// How to Choose the Best Food Sensitivity Test for YouProbiotics - Ep. 03 // Why Probiotics Aren't Healing Your GutBooks mentioned in this episode:-The Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown- Overcoming Underearning by Barbara Stanny- 12 Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson- Healing Back Pain by John E.

Have you ever felt that your health journey was simply chaotic?Have you ever felt that your health journey was a type of living hell, one you didn’t know how to get out of?Have you ever felt that all you wanted in your health, and life, was a little order? Some clear next steps that would work? And a path that would get you - and keep you - healthy?I recently finished the book “12 Rules for Life” by Jordan B Peterson, and these elements of chaos, order, and hell hit me strongly in his book. Jordan B Peterson is a renowned psychologist who is on a mission to make sense of life. He combines philosophy, psychology, and the importance of story to create human meaning to explore subjects such as suffering, failing in life, and succeeding.When I originally read this book, I had no idea that I would connect to it so strongly in terms of health. But the more I read, the more parallels I saw to what Jordan was saying and the experience that both I and my clients go through in our health.Therefore, I wanted to dedicate an episode to Jordan’s three major concepts in his book, 12 Rules for Life: chaos, order, and hell.In today’s podcast, I’m going to map out what it means to walk through chaos, order, and hell in our health journey, how all three are necessary for true healing and growth, and what it looks like to walk well through each well.Other episodes mentioned in this episode:54// Health is a Hero's JourneyOther links from the show:Schedule Your 30 Minute Complimentary Consultation with AllisonThe Art of Effortless Living, Ingrid Bacci12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos, Jordan PetersonConnect with us on social media!Facebook: @betterbellytherapiesInstagram: @betterbellytherapiesWebsite: betterbellytherapies.com*This episode was first published at BetterBellyTherapies.com/podcast/64.

According to research, 10-15% of pregnancies end in miscarriage.That means that for about every 1 in 10 pregnancies, one ends up in miscarriage.It, however, does not mean that 1 in 10 women will experience a miscarriage. As of now in the US, 80% of child-bearing women have more than one child. So - while 1 in 10 of known pregnancies end in miscarriage, researchers estimate that as many as 1 in 3 women have a miscarriage.With that in mind, I knew that the moment that I experienced my miscarriage this January, I didn’t want to keep it a secret.On today’s episode, I’m going to share what I’ve been doing in my health since my miscarriage, and steps I’ve taken to shed any light I could find on clues my body was giving me about its health.Whether or not you’ve had a miscarriage, or ever want to be pregnant, my goal on today’s episode is to share with you about the power you can have in your health when your body breaks down in a way that you weren’t expecting it to and you don’t know how to respond.Also - Registration for Blood Lab Bootcamp is now OPEN!There's only 25 slots for participants this time around, so if you want to take control of your health and discover the next steps in your health through being able to read your own blood labs and finding what your doctor missed (and they did miss something!), register now!Registration closes for Blood Lab Bootcamp when the course fills OR on Sept. 8.And, as a reminder, this course will NEVER be this price again.
