Today, we are continuing on with our ADHD series here on the Better Belly Podcast.Today, I'm going to be talking about something I just do NOT hear people talk about in the ADHD community, and that is the MAOA gene mutation. These gene mutation is HUGELY implicated in ADHD. You do not automatically have the MAOA gene mutation if you have ADHD, but if you do have this gene mutation, you can be set up for symptoms like poor focus, carb cravings, difficulty staying asleep, depression, chocolate cravings, have a tremendous amount of energy one moment then none the next, have great focus one moment then none the next, have difficulty controlling your temper, and generally crave things that will give you a dopamine hit. If you are looking for ways to support your ADHD than can literally make it EASIER to manage, without needing more systems to rule your life - then this episode is for you.EPISODES MENTIONED:171// 3 Dairy Free Foods for Creamy Cheese, Sauces, and PIZZA41// Anxiety, depression, or ADHD?

Learn how these 5 gut health strategies can make managing your ADHD easier WITHOUT more medication or mental gymnastics!----When I first started working with clients in their gut health in 2018, I had NO awareness of ADHD or the connection between ADHD and the gut. However, after just a couple years of working with clients, I realized that I consistently was getting remarks from clients saying, "My ADHD is getting better!", "I can focus better!" or "Can this work possibly help ADHD? I feel like mine is better!"Just a few weeks ago, a client said to me: "I thought that all my distraction, irritability, and difficulty focusing might be ADHD and being a mom, but so much of my brain fog has lifted since I started these protocols!"My response has always been, "Great!"But they wanted to know...WHY?On today's episode, I'm diving into 5 ways your gut impacts your brain, and how you can use these 5 gut health strategies to make managing your ADHD easier.

One of the most common questions and concerns I get from clients looking to work with me is, "I'm sensitive to supplements. Can I work with you?"If you are someone who is sensitive to supplements, you know that you can just dump any old supplement into your body and feel okay. It's likely led to dead-ends with previous practitioners, and protocols that you can't finish.If you're new to the conversation on supplement sensitivity, you may be wondering, "What is supplement sensitivity? Do I have it??"On today's episode, I'm talking about what supplement sensitivity is, the 3 causes of supplement sensitivity, and what you can do about each reason.If you've ever had trouble finishing a protocol or taking supplements due to feeling worse when taking them, then this episode is for you.LINKS FROM THE SHOW:If this podcast episode made positively impacted you, please leave a Rating and Review for the podcast.

A couple weeks ago, I went to a local bookstore to have a cup of coffee and do client work on my laptop.After getting my matcha latte, I went to find a quiet corner to work in. Before I was able to sit down, though, I passed a young woman reading a well-known gut health book."What do you think of the book?" I asked her."It's okay," she said. "Have you read it?""Yes." I paused, deciding if I really would tell her what I thought. "I didn't like it."She looked surprised, and over the next few minutes, I explained that I'm a gut health specialist, I had to heal my gut and hormones from IBS-C, 2 years of no period, and losing my hair. After doctors told me, "My labs look normal." I read that book, and it didn't heal me.Now, I know why. But it was really sad and confusing to me that the "best" literature out there on gut health really didn't...help.The young woman, who had graduated from nursing school just that week, then asked, "What would you recommend to read?"It was out of that question that this episode was born.On today's episode, I'm going to share the top 3 best (and worst) gut health books that I've read - all based on how effective they are on possibly helping you to heal. Whether you want to save time knowing what not to read, or you are looking for a new list of books to dive into - this episode is for you.EPISODES MENTIONED:Ep. 204// Are These Gut Health Myths Keeping You Constipated?

Lately, I’ve been finding myself hesitant to identify as a functional medicine practitioner. There have been so many clients coming to me saying “functional medicine didn’t work for me.” To that, there can be a million reasons why. But because of that one (or multiple failures), there is some serious mistrust being built. Especially when 20% of the American population says that nothing they've tried to heal their gut has worked. Because functional medicine has been treated as the “highest form” of alternative medicine, when it fails someone, it feels like a BIG hit.And if it didn’t work for them, how do I describe how what I do is different? In today's episode, I'm talking about what the actual problem is behind why you haven't gotten results from previous practitioners. And I'm talking about what I think the solution should be for consumers making better choices in their purchases. That is our topic today: is Functional Medicine dead?Let’s talk about it 👉EPISODES MENTIONED:40// Reduce Acid Reflux with the Magic Power of Zinc118// LIVER: The #1 Thing You Can Do to Ease Bloating and PMS149// 4 Step Natural Candida Treatment90// Fascia 101: The Hidden Force Behind Bloating and Constipation134// How to Decrease Food Sensitivities and Heal Leaky Gut in 3 Steps126// 5 Common Causes of Constipation Beyond Food103// Detoxing Is Not A Green SmoothieLINKS FROM THE SHOW:If this podcast episode made positively impacted you, please leave a Rating and Review for the podcast.
