Hey, I’m Allison. Mom, wife, Functional Health Practitioner, and lover of Jesus. For 2 years, I tried to fix my chronic constipation and IBS through the low FODMAP diet and doctor visits. I thought the only way I could fix my gut was through food, probiotics, and a restricted lifestyle. I finally realized that there is more to constipation and bloating than just food restrictions and doctor visits. I discovered a 3-step process that not only addressed MY chronic constipation, bloating, acid reflux, and hormone imbalance but also worked for my clients, too.
Now - I’m ready to share it with you!

101// This Is Your Sign to Rest
Recently, I noticed that when we talk about healing, how to heal ourselves, it is always in terms of more. DOING more. More diet restrictions.More supplements.Different supplements.Different exercise.New doctor appointments.Journal more.Meditate more.Be grateful - more.And while there is merit to the idea that there is something out there that you aren't doing yet that may hold the key to your healing, the truth also is - we are terrified of slowing down. Period. My podcast is guilty of this, too. I’ve definitely spent a majority of our episodes, by far, talking more about how you can DO more to heal yourself.In the middle of all this, we NEED to rest to heal. But despite being so fatigued, I often hear my clients say, “I’m tired. Should I just push through my tiredness?”WHY do we struggle so much with rest?There are a lot of answers to this questions. But I believe, for those who are dealing with chronic illness and the whole just not feeling well thing, there is a particular tension we deal with with rest. I call it sick rest vs. healing rest. On today’s episode, I’m talking about sick rest and healing rest - why they make it hard to rest as someone struggling with gut health problems, and how you can use both to work FOR you instead of AGAINST you.If you are listening to this podcast episode today - this is your invitation to deep, meaningful rest.

100// End Bloating, Nausea, Constipation, and Food Confusion in 3 MONTHS with My Client Rachel
It’s episode 100!!! It has been a wild ride since I started this podcast in the fall of 2020, and since then - I did the math - I’ve helped over a hundred women change their lives by getting rid of their bloating, constipation, fatigue, PMS pain, insomnia, by helping them HEAL. THEIR. GUT. So, to celebrate 100 episodes and over a hundred lives changed, I am bringing you yet ANOTHER story of a client of mine going from sick and stuck to strong and mobile. My client, Rachel, came to me last year in chronic pain, with constant bloating, unsure about what to eat, unable to sleep, experiencing unexplained nausea, and with no answers from doctors. In just over 3 months, we turned things around for her so that she could go out to eat with her husband and have NO anxiety, feel rested after she slept, be able to travel without pain or discomfort, and feel like she UNDERSTOOD her body again. If you are wondering if you can heal YOUR chronic pain and bloating, constipation, or IBS symptoms, then this episode is for you!

Chronic fatigue is a commonly felt symptom for anyone struggling with any chronic illness - let alone gut health problems. Adrenal fatigue, within the category of chronic fatigue, is fatigue that is sourced in the adrenal glands.

97// IBS - Can You Really End It?
Today's episode is recorded in honor of the fact that, of the 25 to 45 million people in the US diagnosed with IBS, there is very little conversation out there on how IBS can be put into remission. There is, instead, a resignation at most, or frustration at the least, that IBS is a permanent situation. Due to everything from doctors saying IBS is permanent to the years of struggle people undergo (even with trying multiple routes to try and quench their IBS such as the low FODMAP diet and probiotics), so many people with IBS that feel they are STUCK with their bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and food sensitivities.I used to feel this way, myself, but after discovering (and researching my butt off) on the nature and origin of IBS, I found that not only had I found the secrets (aka: things not talked about on the internet or in my doctor’s office) to put my own IBS into remission, but I also was successfully helping others say goodbye to their IBS as well.So today’s episode is dedicated to all of you out there who have ever been told by your doctor, nutritionist, family member, or even yourself that you just can’t get rid of your IBS. Because - you can.

95// Supplements - Do You Really Need Them?
When clients first start working with me, I regularly hear this question: Do I really need supplements?It’s a reasonable question. The supplement industry in the US alone is valued at $151.9 billion, as of 2021. As with all things that yield great money - and can cost great money - the big question is - does it have to be this way? Add on top of that the very common experience of taking supplements and STILL not getting better, and the skepticism increases.So on today’s episode, we are going to discuss this important question - do you really need supplements? We’re going to get to the root of the problem so you can be wisest with your health, your wallet, and your ability to get better.

94// How to Keep Any Habit You Make
Have you ever started a healthy habit, kept it for a season, and then dropped off doing it?Have you ever kept a habit for the amount of time it’s supposed to take to establish a habit - then stopped doing it still?Have you ever been frustrated with your ability to keep a habit for some time, but then you feel like you always end up back-sliding on it later?If so, you are not unlike both me and my clients whom I work with.Habits are key to health, and for those of us on a health journey, we WANT to develop and keep new habits that give us the energy, focus, and power we want in life. But if habits are so good for us - why are they so draining to keep?On today’s episode, I’m going to be talking about the missing link between keeping a habit for weeks or months and making a habit for a lifetime. There’s literally only ONE thing missing between keeping a habit with willpower and keeping a habit that continues to sustain itself. This makes the habit load a WHOLE lot easier - not heavier!Habits can be hard, so I am so excited to bring today’s episode to you!EPISODES MENTIONED:Ep. 11// 5 Things I Did Every Day in 2018 to Heal My Mind - And My Gut!Ep. 13// Six-Figure Business Owner Testimonial, Abby Herman LINKS FROM THE SHOW:Virtual clients: Apply for the Foundations Program WaitlistCurious?

93// Stop Struggling with Stomach Pain, Constipation, and Fatigue [Client Testimonial - Sydney]
This month, we’ve been going through a series on fascia and how this un-talked about connective tissue in the body can MASSIVELY impact gut health. Fascia is the key structure I work with in my clinic using craniosacral therapy and visceral manipulation, and it’s the other-half of the work we do at Better Belly Therapies alongside functional lab testing and our Foundations Program. And on today’s episode, you are going to hear about Sydney - a real client in my clinic who recently worked with me for three months doing BOTH Craniosacral Therapy & Visceral Manipulation and functional lab testing to completely reverse her gut health troubles. When I met Sydney, she was struggling with chronic gastric pain, constipation and diarrhea, bloating, fatigue, and waking up in the middle of the night. She was on a restricted diet, recommended by her doctor, that wasn’t getting her results - and nothing else she tried was healing her gut. As a grad student and PhD candidate, Sydney needed her body to be at top performance to focus on her studies and research, but no matter what she did, she wasn’t getting better. In just three months, Sydney how has NO constipation or diarrhea, NO stomach pain, and she now regularly sleeps through the night. If you want to learn more about fascia and what we’re talking about here with craniosacral therapy and visceral manipulation, check out our Fascia 101 episode 90 to learn more about what fascia is, why you should care about it, how you can know if your fascia is impacting your gut health and, if so, what you can do about it.
