Have you ever found yourself wondering if you needed to hire just ONE MORE coach to finally heal your gut?Have you ever felt that maybe your diet was the reason why you weren't getting better, but you weren't sure what to do or how to change it?Or - have you ever felt overwhelmed by all the recommendations online on how to use nutrition to heal your gut and you think maybe you should just hire someone to tell you EXACTLY what to do?If you said "yes" to any of these questions, then you are just like my client Krista!In today's episode, I'm sharing a question from one of our group coaching calls inside my private coaching group, the Better Belly Blueprint, to share with YOU. Today's topic is from my client Krista. She asked:"I was just curious if you think I need someone to help me with meal planning. I am so type A that everything I hear about health and wellness I take to the T and then I am constantly worrying about my protein (eating good fat, but not too much; not avoiding carbs - eating more veggies, choosing the fiber rich carbs). All of this is good, but I feel like I over-stress about it so much that I don't even listen to my body and how it feels! In your opinion, what do I really need to dial in as far as nutrition while I am trying to heal my gut?"Krista's question comes on the heels of having made some great improvements in her health and symptoms such as having more energy in afternoon, being able to function perfectly with NO coffee/caffeine, bloating being down, distention is 50% better, and being able to fall asleep MUCH faster through the night. What she REALLY wanted to know is - would hiring a nutritionist heal her heal her gut faster?This is a SUPER common question I get ask, and I'm so excited to share my real answer with you today!P.S. ~ If you want to ask questions to me JUST LIKE THIS ONE and get my live feedback, now you can!

Happy April!As we step into the months of April and May, I (Allison) am on maternity leave. To celebrate this, we're pulling content from our group coaching calls inside our private coaching group, the Better Belly Blueprint, to share with YOU. Today's topic is from my client Elizabeth. She asked:"Is it possible that some food sensitivities are caused because of mold exposure? If so, after doing mold detox - is it possible for gluten and dairy sensitivities to go away?"Elizabeth's question comes from the fact that she got toxic mold testing inside our program that showed that she has mold colonization in her body that was part of the root causes driving her symptoms. She also got advanced food sensitivity testing showing foods she was temporarily sensitive to and foods she was permanently sensitive to. (For more information on this food sensitivity test - be sure to subscribe to hear our podcast episode on this coming out in June!)Gluten and dairy technically were on her permanent food sensitivity list, so what Elizabeth REALLY wanted to know is - can any of her permanent food sensitivities ever go away?This is a SUPER common question I get ask, and I'm so excited to share my real answer with you today!P.S. ~ If you want to ask questions to me JUST LIKE THIS ONE and get my live feedback, now you can!

After 10 years, I no longer have an IBS diagnosis or any correlating symptoms. Learn my top 10 lessons I learned in 10 years of healing.---10 years ago, in the spring of 2015, my own, personal sickness journey began with unexplained and sudden nighttime insomnia.At the time, I had NO idea that this seemingly small but annoying symptom was the beginning of a massive decline in my health that would not be slowed or corrected no matter what advice I followed, who I talked to, or how much money I spent. Now - 10 years later - I have NONE of the original symptoms or diagnosis of IBS, insomnia, or constipation that I started with in 2015. And not only that, but my entire life is changed. My career is changed, my lifestyle is changed, and my mental and physical health is better than it had been my entire childhood.So, to celebrate my 10 year anniversary of becoming (and undoing) being sick, I've gathered my Top 10 Lessons from 10 years of struggling, succeeding, and failing my way through IBS and into complete, whole body healing.Whether you're in the beginning of your own healing journey or have been in this journey for 5, 10, 20, or 30+ years, I hope these 10 lessons bring you hope, insight, tears, and catharsis of how healing is not a straightforward journey, but if you keep honest and true to your values and needs, you WILL find the healing you're looking for.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - My 10-Year Healing Journey Begins01:25 - Welcome to the Better Belly Podcast02:30 - Unexpected Changes and Realizations05:12 - Top 10 Lessons from a Decade of Healing06:25 - Lesson 1: Healing Comes from Where You Least Expect It14:56 - Lesson 2: Your Body Will Guide You to Your Next Healing24:20 - Lesson 3: Your Symptoms Are Not the Enemy27:31 - Lesson 4: Healthcare Providers Aren't Immune to Health Issues28:27 - Overcoming Health Imperfections30:30 - The Journey to Healing32:15 - Addressing Multiple Health Issues33:32 - The BetterBelly Blueprint34:24 - Working Through Health Layers37:56 - Staying Curious and Finding Good Healers47:36 - Bonus Lesson: Unique Healing Practices51:13 - Final Thoughts and EncouragementEPISODES MENTIONED:1// My Story & How I Healed Myself from IBS90// Fascia 101: The Hidden Force Behind Bloating and Constipation36// How to Choose The Best Chiropractor with Dr. Zach Simkins and Dr. Tygue Arvidson228// My Top 5 Best and Worst Health Investments56// What I’ve Been Doing in My Health Since My Miscarriage + Registration is OPEN!!73// Surprise – I’m Pregnant!!

Do you struggle with feeling like you're stuck in chronic fight or flight?Do you have chronic health issues, and you've heard that your gut health may be linked to your nervous system dysregulation (and vice versa), but you don't know where to start or what will actually work to heal your nervous system?Do you worry that trauma may be behind your chronic illness or chronic health issues, but despite trying dozens of mind body therapies or exercises, you feel like you've made little to no progress in healing your nervous system?If you said yes to any of these questions, then this episode is for you.On today's episode, we're continuing Part 3 of our Brain-Gut Axis Series with Dr. Julia Colangelo, a professor of mindfulness at Columbia University, and a fellow traveler on thid mind-body healing journey.Today, Dr. Julia is going to reveal some AMAZING tips and rarely-talked-about information on WHY trying to regulate your nervous system hasn't created the change or healing you've been looking for - and maybe has even added stress or confusion to your healing journey.Dr. Julia Colangelo is an award-winning educator, speaker, and research on flow - a state of mindfulness that is different than just meditating, and doesn't require you to feel peaceful at all times. As an educator and flow researcher, Julia advises and coaches visionaries, global leaders, public figures, and celebrities. Julia lives on Maui with her little family, and travels globally to speak and consult on mindfulness, flow, creativity, and nervous system regulation and expansion.Dr. Julia trains at companies like LinkedIn, Convene, and more. Her work has been featured in Glamour Magazine, The Washington Post, & The Huffington Post. Julia hosts private retreats, events and coaching experiences that are innovative, fun, and integrate flow strategies and self-awareness exercises for sustainable creativity and alignment personally and professionally.Dr. Julia launched The Flow Brain which teaches nervous system regulation to enter a flow state through nature and neuroscience and encourages a transformative approach to self-healing by entering sustainable flow states.If you've been frustrated with finding the same advice on nervous system regulation online, if you feel like all your problems are in your nervous system (but you can't figure out how to unlock it from it's state of fight and flight), or if you've avoided the topic of nervous system regulation because of feelings of shame or overwhelm around it - then I hope that listening to Dr. Julia today is a breath of FRESH air that breaths into your soul and unlocks new growth and feelings of freedom for you - in both your mind and body.
