Yesterday, my husband sent me a text."Do you have a podcast episode on H. Pylori?""I do," I texted back. "Sort of. But it's inside of episodes that are symptom focused. Not pathogen. Why do you ask?"He'd heard someone in our church share that they had H. Pylori, and they were worried about it and wanted prayer. My husband hear's me talk about EVERYTHING health related, and he KNEW that I talked a lot about H. Pylori. But what I was sad to find was that even though I have multiple episodes on acid reflux, a key symptom of H. Pylori, I had NO episodes on H. Pylori specifically. Thus, this new series was born.Over the next 7 weeks, I will go over the 7 key pathogens that are causing 99% of the symptoms in my clients over the last 6 years (over 600 clients!). I am going to go, episode by episode, over:What each pathogen isWhere it lives in the bodyCommon symptoms associated with that pathogenLess-common symptoms that can happen because of themHow to do testingWhat testing can give false-negativesSigns of a strong protocol to get rid of itExamples of bad protocols that I've seen my clients go throughReasons you might not feel better even after going through a protocol for that pathogen...and SO MUCH MORE!I'm going to debunk every single myth I can think of, because the #1 reason that clients who work with me AREN'T feeling better after a pathogen protocol is because of ALL the little things that can go wrong - but don't HAVE to go wrong. In this series, I'm going to point you to the FASTEST way to heal. Because NO pathogen needs to be ruling your life. It's time to feel your best, have energy, and get back to your life.Today's episode is all about H. Pylori. If you've been diagnosed with H. Pylori, had a positive H. Pylori endoscopy or test, have treated it before but think you have it again, want to know a natural, non-antibiotic way to eliminate H. Pylori, or you think you may have it even without testing that shows it, then this episode is for you.

Can you really have too LITTLE salt? Learn why bloating and constipation be caused by a sodium deficiency, and exactly how to fix it.99.9% of clients have a sodium deficiency when they join my program. Sodium deficiency can be linked to bloating, constipation, dizziness, fatigue, nighttime urination, low blood pressure, AND high blood pressure. And for many of my clients, none of these symptoms improve UNTIL they address their sodium problem.Given this, why aren't more people talking about sodium deficiency?In today's episode, I am diving into the fallacies and myths around sodium and how "bad" it is for you and I'm replacing it with EXACTLY what you need to do to determine if you have a sodium deficiency, and if so, what to do about it.

In your process of healing, have you found yourself saying, "This is too expensive for me"?Have you had to say "no" to or delay buying a life-changing lab, supplement protocol, or program because of not being able to afford it?Are you annoyed or overwhelmed with how much the cost of healing is?If so, then this episode is for you.The cost of healing is one of the most COMMON reasons I'm told by someone that they can't heal, so this month on the Better Belly Podcast, I'm dedicating every episode to tips and hacks for how to make healing for affordable.On today's episode, I'm sharing my top 3 tips to accurately estimate how much it will cost you to heal. This is a SUPER powerful skill because, like with all things, being able to anticipate the cost can help us prepare for it - whether it is buying a house, paying for college, or saving up for a new oven, knowing that general price range can help you to save and mentally prepare for the cost so that, once it comes, you CAN pay for it. WITHOUT being able to accurately estimate how much it will cost you to heal, you end up over and over again with surprise bills and being not financially prepared to pay for what you want or need to pay for in your health. And this results in a cycle of never being able to pay for anything. If you feel like you're drowning in health expenses, or you don't know what costs are good deals or not, then this episode is for you. P.S. For even more tips and tricks for how to make your health more affordable, check out the shownotes where I've included previous episodes to guide you further in your healing journey.

One of most common reasons I have clients tell me that haven't healed or can't move forward in healing is because of money issues. Not enough money, not knowing where to invest their money they do have, or having wounds from previous investments that wasted money and just not wanting to repeat that again.At least one time a year, I like to devote a few episodes to having an open conversation around money and health. My goal is to help you feel less alone in this conversation because, whether we like it or not, money IS a part of the health conversation. And my OTHER main goal is to actually give you practical tips and tricks for how to reduce the cost of healing and generally be better able to afford the healing you ultimately need. This September, I'm covering 4 main topics:My Top 5 Best and Worst Health Investments My Top Tips for How to Accurately Estimate the Cost of HealingMy BEST Insurance Hack to Get Insurance to Cover Functional Medicine Every Single Time15 Creative Ideas to Increase Cashflow and Fund Your HealingToday, I'm starting this series with sharing some of my biggest financial flops and wins in my pursuit of healing to encourage you, hopefully make you laugh, and prepare you for the rest of this month where I share how I went from my 5 worst investments to regularly saving the MOST amount of money possible on my health and my family's health every single year.

Hear this toxic mold success story about how Matt completely healed his family from mold - even when ALL doctors had failed them.---In 2018, Matt and his wife Amy were woken up in the middle of the night by their son writhing with abdominal pain. Western medicine said he was a healthy young man and had no answers. Matt eventually connected a moldy window in his sons room to his symptoms and started studying mold around the clock. On today's episode, I'm having special guest Matt Kelly, Functional Health Practitioner, onto the Better Belly Podcast to come and personally tell the story of his and his families journey through MCAS, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), mold, and Lyme disease, getting no answers from conventional medicine, finding mold was at the center of it all, and popping out on the other side with, dare I say it, a happy ending.I've personally had the honor to get to know Matt through a variety of connections. He's mentored me through some of my very first clients with Lyme disease, and I've gotten to absorb his wisdom and passion for healing clients from mold just by being in his amazing Toxic Mold Answers FB Group, which has EXPLODED in the number of people it serves over the last few years.I am SO excited to introduce you to Matt and his and his family's incredible story of struggle, defeat, and triumph. If you've been discouraged in your journey to heal your body from mold, Lyme, or if you don't even know what is making you sick, then it's time to dive into this story of hope about how one family escaped from mold and Lyme - and how you can, too.
