Dr. Brown developed Atrantíl to help those suffering from symptoms of IBS, which we now know are caused by bacterial overgrowth. He continues his researched in finding natural solutions based in science, with the intent of providing affordable, effective solutions. Tune in to hear more about IBS dieting, pelvic floor issues, and the ways that we can best love our guts.To purchase Atrantil or Atrantil Pro use this link: https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/drheatherfinleyI would love to connect on Instagram or drheatherfinley.co

Are you set up to achieve your highest grossing month while also on maternity leave? In this episode of the Love Your Gut Podcast, I talk about how becoming a mother changed my business, and the importance of investing in yourself first. My mindset was so wrong that 2 years before i had my daughter I actually got a job so that I would have maternity leave - instead of investing in systems and processes to create a sustainable business. I started changing my mindset the day after my daughter was born and I realized that I didn't want to go back to working the way that I was before. Whether you invest in my program or someone else's, this will not happen by accident. You need to develop the tools in place to allow your business to grow when you need to take a step away, whether it is to have a baby, to address unexpected personal matters, or just because you want to take time off. Tune in to hear more about the cost of having the wrong mindset, having a second child, and growing a team that grows the business. I would love to connect on Instagram or drheatherfinley.co
