Are you bloated no matter what you eat? Exhausted but can't sleep? Losing it on your partner? Heavy, painful periods? Losing your hair? Constant breakouts or getting sick all the time?
It could be burnout, but supplements aren't the answer.
Contrary to what some holistic practitioners say, burnout doesn't come from exhausted adrenal glands, burnout starts in your brain! So let's take a look at how to rewire the brain to tell the body it's safe to relax and restore balance to the gut, and all systems.
In this episode, I share the 5 Foundational Gut Healing Habits to not only recover from burnout, but skyrocket your gut healing, mood and metabolism and get your life back!
(spoiler alert: it doesn't require "clean eating", taking a million supplements or spending thousands of dollars on testing!)
These are the very habits I'll be coaching you through inside the Fix Your Gut App (coming Fall 2024!)
The best part? When you focus on these 5 foundational habits, healthy eating becomes effortless - no willpower required!

Struggling with heartburn, reflux or GERD?
Heartburn and ACID reflux are incredibly common. The most common treatment? Prescription strength antacids.
Ironically, these medications can actually make heartburn worse and contribute to SIBO and dysbiosis in your microbiome.
But there' so much more to heartburn than just dysbiosis or low stomach acid. In today's episode we'll dive into the three categories of causes for heartburn: functional, structural and immunological. I'll also share the 4 step protocol I use to help clients get off antacids and enjoy food again, without heartburn!

IBS isn't a life sentence. If you're struggling with chronic bloating, burping after meals, constipation & diarrhea, food sensitivities and heartburn, it's likely not "IBS". In fact, IBS isn't a true diagnosis - it's what they tell you when they don't know what's wrong. The most common cause of IBS is SIBO - SIBO is bacterial overgrowth and it's treatable!

Everybody poops...or maybe sometimes you don't. If you're going less than once per day, we need to figure out why because not only is it a pain in the butt, but it can contribute to other illnesses too. Laxatives aren't the answer - there's always a root cause. Often it's a combination of gut bacteria imbalances, stress, food sensitivities, hormone imbalances, structural issues, ageing and medications. In this episode I dive into: - root causes of constipation - why fibre is important, but may not help - should you try probiotics? - what to do when you can't go Ultimately, constipation can have many causes, and laxatives are a band-aid solution. In order to optimize your gut, and overall health you have to find and heal the root cause.

You're feeling blah, but you can't figure out why. Maybe you've already tried medications, supplements or counselling and you're still not feeling yourself.
Most western mental health treatments focus on the brain and mindset, but there are real physical root causes of mental illness. You're about to discover how your stress hormones, sex hormones and brain chemicals are all connected, and how your gut is at the root of it all! I take a deep dive into: - how stress and adrenal fatigue impacts your mental health - how healthy gut bacteria boost your mood - why you may be low in vitamins and proteins needed for happy hormones - why you have insomnia and how it's impacting your mood and so much more!

"I have no willpower around sugar." Here's the thing: it's not about willpower! This week I'm taking a deep dive into the mindset around food, emotional eating and diet culture. You'll discover the 4 main causes of carb cravings, that your metabolism is way more complicated than diet and exercise and how small daily habits and mindset shifts can make a huge difference when it comes to your energy and mental health and make it that much easier to make healthy food choices. Find out how to spot red flags from the diet industry: generalized and over-simplified statements such as "carbs make you fat" or that you should avoid carbs completely are a big red flag - it's simply not true. Heal your relationship with carbs by understanding how your body uses carbs for fuel and how your metabolism actually works Join us in my free Facebook group all about gut health & more! https://www.facebook.com/groups/fixyourgutcollective/

Most people come to me when the Western medical system has failed them in some way. Yet they still expect the same approach and results as western medicine: give me a supplement and feel better right away. Let's shift away from the Western model of "a pill will fix me" to a holistic view of pills being helpful, as one tool in your tool kit.
Let's view the body as an interconnected whole and actually look at healing imbalances rather than offering band-aid solutions. This episode will help you understand that root cause, functional medicine healing takes time and effort because we are treating the whole person: all systems interconnected we are treating ROOT cause: often one that has been years in the making that it's not just supplementing: dietary and lifestyle changes - foundational basics are more important! It takes time to build healthy habits that allow you to heal.

It's time to say no to the holiday madness!
Let's talk holiday boundaries! What do you want your holidays to look like?
You want to feel your best and truly enjoy them, right?
Time to sit down and think about what that really means for you. What are your values?
What would the ideal holiday season look like for you? Alcohol - If you're not a big drinker, say no when you're feeling pressured to drink. Especially if you struggle with your mental health, alcohol is a depressant - it will make it worse. Struggling with anxiety? I cover supplement and tea options that can help.
Money - If your budget is tight, say no to spending on gifts that people don't need. That's not what the holidays are about anyway! Communicate with loved ones - be clear on your boundaries, whatever they may be.
Dealing with Low Mood - my top lifestyle tips for managing the holiday blues.
Time - If you're exhausted, say no to a party, especially if it's one you don't really want to attend anyway. Are you an empath or an introvert? Quiet time is not a luxury for us, it's a necessity, so schedule it in and commit to it.

At what point does a glass of wine to relax become a habit? A what point does it become an addiction? Mindy Smith-Bernard is a counsellor with an MSW who specializes in addictions, specifically alcoholism, and it's more common than you think.
Mommy wine culture - it's everywhere - it's on wine glasses and Facebook posts. Mom's brunch? You know the wine will be flowing - it's become normal and expected, to the point where Moms who don't drink are criticized and judged. Why? It's an easy way to cope with stress - and being a Mom ain't easy. In our culture we want a quick fix - a "pill for every ill" - we want relief now.
It's not that Moms don't know the value of self-care - they have the best intentions to do yoga, read, meditate or connect with a friend - all great ways to de-stress, but when life is crazy busy, self-care is often the first thing to go. It's just much easier to have a glass of wine while the kids play at your feet. Part of the problem is no one thinks it's a problem - we've created a culture of high functioning alcoholics - people believe that if they can hold down a job, take care of the kids and the household that there's nothing wrong with finishing a bottle of wine.
We "other" addiction - addiction is for homeless people without jobs drinking out of a brown bag on a park bench - not for high functioning Moms, right?

You've been to all the doctors and specialists and they can't find anything wrong, so they offer you some medications and send you on your way.
Every client I've seen with gut issues has had the same disappointing experience - unfortunately, there's little that the health care system can offer people with chronic digestive issues. This was my journey as well - I struggled with gut issues for over 20 years. Only once I started seeing a naturopath did I start to find relief.
My client Shannon is a Mom and an entrepreneur - she has a lot on her plate, so she needed a protocol that included small, sustainable changes that work with her lifestyle and budget.
She has struggled with IBS-like symptoms including constipation, chronic heartburn as well as anxiety and insomnia. Her goal is to increase her energy, heal her gut and manage her anxiety so she can be the Mom she wants to be and have the stamina and brainpower to bring her A-game to her business.
We started working together two weeks ago and she has noticed a huge improvement already, so with her permission we decided to share her healing journey - today is the first of several episodes - you'll hear from Shannon how small, sustainable changes to her diet, lifestyle and supplements are making a huge improvement in her quality of life.
You'll learn about how Shannon's gut issues have impacted her mental health and the changes we have made that will allow her to feel better both physically and mentally.
Shannon's business is Magik Escapes- she's an esthetician that brings self-care to you and leaves nothing behind except smiles and glowing skin.
