113// Crush Abdominal Pain & Get 90% of Your Energy Back [Client Testimonial Pt. 2 - Dessie]

Do you struggle with feeling like you eat and live healthy, but daily don’t FEEL healthy?Do you ever feel like you might be making your symptoms up in your head, because other people like your doctor - or your lab results - aren’t saying there any reason WHY you could be feeling that way?Or - have you ever gotten some improvement in your health after diet change or lifestyle change - only for your symptoms to start coming back?If so, you’re like my client Dessie. When Dessie started working with me, she was dealing with intense abdominal pain that would strike regularly and force her to stop anything she was doing. She was regularly being interrupted while cooking meals for her family, taking care of her children, or having family time in the evening while watching a movie or playing games.She also was struggling with deep fatigue and consistent joint pain - that couldn’t be explained. After trying many things - including doctor visits and dietary changes - Dessie joined the Foundations Program and got functional lab testing that finally explained why she was feeling the way she was - and told us what we could do about it. If you’re dealing with abdominal pain, deep fatigue, and symptoms that just can’t be explained - buckle up, because you won’t want to miss this episode. Note: On today’s episode, you’re listening to part 2 of Dessie’s story, after 6 months of working with me.

112// The Hidden Drivers Behind Anorexia - Libby Stenzel, RD

When it comes to anorexia and disordered eating, what is talked about the most are the behavioral and psychological drivers behind it. But disordered eating, especially anorexia, is driven by more than just your mind. New research is finding that there are also neurobiological drivers - biochemical imbalances that act invisibly on the body.These biochemical imbalances don’t need to be fixed with medication. In fact, the most common neurobiological driver for those with anorexia is zinc deficiency.Yes. Zinc deficiency!Zinc is the most common micronutrient deficiency in people with eating disorders, and symptoms of zinc deficiency are eerily similar to anorexia.Symptom overlap includes:AnxietyAltered tasteHormonal imbalancesWeight loss…and even increased exercise!On today's episode, I'm talking with Libby Stenzel, RD. Libby is a registered dietitian based in the Ann Arbor, Michigan, area, and an expert in anorexia and disordered eating. She specializes in helping people with disordered eating find healing and freedom with food, exercise, and body image.Today, you’ll learn how you can find freedom from shame and fear with food, heal your body more while working at it less, along with how to harness the power of balancing your internal neurobiology to overcome anorexia and disordered eating. In this conversation with Libby, I had insight into my own heath and experiences I had with food at the lowest point in my health in 2015. I hope you have the same as you listen in on this fascinating conversation.EPISODES MENTIONED:Ep. 40// Reduce Acid Reflux with the Magic Power of ZincEp. 13// Drop Sugar Cravings, Lose Weight, and Get Glowing Skin [Client Testimonial - Abby Herman]CONNECT WITH LIBBY:Libby Stenzel NutritionInstagram: @libbystenzelnutritionGet 20% Off an Initial Assessment by mentioning the Better Belly Podcast!Recommended Reading: Decoding Anorexia, by Carrie ArnoldWORK WITH ALLISON:Virtual clients: Apply for the Foundations Program WaitlistCurious?

Do you have high cholesterol - despite eating well, exercising, and “being healthy”?Do you struggle with painful periods, PMS, or hormonal acne?Has your doctor ever been told you that youhave elevated liver enzymes?Or do you deal with foggyheadedness, bloating, and waking up between 2-4 am regularly?If so - these are ALL signs that you have a congested liver!A congested liver is a non-diagnostic term to describe a liver that is not DISEASED, but is functioning sub-optimally. Your liver has LOTS of roles. It helps you digest, balance iron and glucose in your body, and detox.If your liver is congested, it can’t keep up with all its roles, and you will suffer from a wide variety of symptoms.Unfortunately, traditional doctors are neither trained to screen for a congested liver OR to teach YOU how you can heal your liver and help it function at it’s best again. On today’s episode, I’m teaching you about the mighty liver, why your liver enzymes and cholesterol might be elevated, and 3 steps you can take to NATURALLY heal your liver.

105// Clear Your Kidney Stones, UTI's, and Interstitial Cystitis [Detox Pathway #2 - Kidney]

Do you have to pee all the time?Do you get UTI’s 1x per year or more?Do you have problems with having symptoms of UTI’s, such as burning when you pee or a constant feeling that you need to pee, but your tests never come back positive for an infection?Or - have you ever had a kidney stone? Or even multiple kidney stones?If so, your kidneys may need some detox support!On today’s episodes, we’re continuing our detox series on the 7 major pathways for detoxification with the KIDNEY.Your kidneys and bladder are often forgotten about super-detoxers for the body. Your kidneys is responsible for filtering ALL of the blood in your body - up to 40 times per day! As it filters your blood, it pulls a variety of toxins and metabolic waste out; too much waste, though, and your kidneys and bladder can develop inflammation and toxic build-up resulting in pain, burning while urinating, and the all-feared kidney stones. Not only this, but those toxins that SHOULD be being filtered by the kidney may end up irritating other parts of your body as well. If you are struggling with hormone imbalance symptoms, bloating, skin flare-ups, foggyheadedness, or joint and muscle pain - your kidneys may be the detox pathway you MOST need to pump up today.EPISODES MENTIONED:Ep. 103// Detoxing Is Not a Green SmoothieEp. 104// Clear Your Constipation and Diarrhea through Detoxing [Detox Pathway #1]Ep. 46// The Gut-Breath Connection: How asthma, heart palpitations, constipation, IBS, and acid reflux are ALL connectedLINKS FROM THE SHOW:Sally Norton: Low Oxalate RecipesEp. 105: Supplement RecommendationsVirtual clients: Apply for the Foundations Program WaitlistCurious?

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.

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.

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.

91// The Fascia Solution to Acid Reflux

On today’s episode, we are continuing a conversation we’ve had on this podcast multiple times, but with a totally new perspective: Acid Reflux.According to a National Gastrointestinal Survey in 2015 with over 70,000 participants, 30% of these participants experience acid reflux on a weekly basis. And within that group, another 35% of participants experience acid reflux even WITH taking PPI’s - a pharmaceutical designed to block acid production in the stomach and - theoretically - end acid reflux. Among the participants, younger individuals, women, Latino individuals, and participants with irritable bowel syndrome or Crohn’s disease were more likely to have continued GERD symptoms, even when taking PPIs.So - the big question -Why do we get acid reflux?And why does acid reflux persist, even after taking medication and pharmaceuticals?On today’s episode, I’m diving into a rarely discussed topic in acid reflux that is KEY is solving this stubborn GI problem - fascial restrictions. Continuing with our series from last week, I’m going to teach you about how your physical body is perpetuating your acid reflux, what key anatomical structures are involved in acid reflux, and at the end of the show, I’m going to teach you three practical steps you can use TODAY to evaluate if your fascia is causing your stubborn acid reflux.

86// Overcome Infertility with Sarah Clark of Fab Fertile Inc.

Does pregnancy seem like an impossible goal for you?Have you been struggling with fertility, trying method after method to get pregnant - and nothing seems to work?Do you ever feel like you don’t know if you can have hope to get pregnant? Or, do you wonder if you’ll have to rely on an external method, such as donor eggs, to get pregnant?Infertility, unfortunately, is becoming more and more common. According to recent studies in 2022, up to 1 in 8 couples will have trouble getting pregnant or sustaining pregnancy in their lifetime. And an estimated 9-11% of men and women will struggle with fertility problems. Infertility is becoming common, but that does not mean it is normal. On today’s episode, I am joined by Sarah Clark, integrative health coach and founder of Fab Fertile Inc. Sarah is an expert in all things fertility, and on today’s episode, we discuss the method behind Sarah’s Signature Fertility Coaching Program and how they help their clients not only heal from infertility but find the root cause of their infertility journey. Almost an entire year ago, I recorded this podcast episode with Sarah Clark, the founder of Fab Fertile Inc., discussing what is causing couples to struggle with infertility. And oddly enough - it’s a lot of the same things that our clients at Better Belly Therapies come to us with who are struggling with gut health problems.Intrigued?

Have you had bloating and sleep problems for the last decade?Has it seemed like nothing you do has worked?Are you afraid to make changes to your health - because it's hard, and because...what if it doesn't work?If so, you are like my client Julie.Julie is full-time entrepreneur and working mom in Canada who can do EVERYTHING right in her business - but has not been able to figure out her health.After 6 months in our Foundations Program, though, this is no longer the case!Julie started working with me feeling uncomfortable all the time due to bloating and gas, with pain in her neck and shoulders that no massage could fix, and with poor sleep that no amount of sleep hygiene could alter.She was also going through menopause, and despite taking specific herbs to try and support the transition, menopause was making her MISERABLE. And I mean - moody miserable.It was affecting her work, her kids, and her experience of her day-to-day life.Now, Julie is sleeping through the night, she doesn't have to fight her mood anymore, and she feels GOOD after she eats!How did she do it?Find out on today's podcast!

84// A New Way to Address IBS: Combining Craniosacral Therapy and Visceral Manipulation with Functional Lab Testing

If you have IBS, you have experience with it NOT being a straight-forward diagnosis to get rid of. Or bury. Or heal.You have probably tried everything recommended by doctors, nutritionists, and blog posts online. --> The Low FODMAP diet. Colonoscopies. Endoscopies. Gluten free. Dairy free. More fiber. More water. Less stress. You name it - you've done it.But have you done THIS therapy?You might ask - What therapy, Allison?I'm talking about Craniosacral Therapy and Visceral Manipulation. AND Functional Lab Testing. Together.This is a POWERFUL combo of therapies for our clients with IBS. Just this week, I had a client tell me that her constipation had completely cleared up after a session of Visceral Manipulation with me. In that session, we worked on restrictions in her chest (her chest!) that was impacting her large intestine via her diaphragm and restricted breathing patterns.This client ALSO has found several pathogens in her body using functional lab testing, and has begun to address heavy metals in her body as well as previously un-identified food sensitivities that were stressing her body OUT.On today's podcast episode, I talk all about what Craniosacral Therapy and Visceral Manipulation are, how to know if you need them, and why they are so powerful to combine with functional lab testing.Because your body is WORTH more than just one therapy to get full and complete healing.

83// The IBS-Fibromyalgia Connection: How to See Invisible Pain and Heal Your Body

According to research done by UCLA, up to 60% of patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) also have Fibromyalgia, and up to 70% of patients with Fibromyalgia have IBS. Having struggled with IBS myself, I remember in my worst years wondering if I ALSO had Fibromyalgia. Brain fog. Fatigue. Chronic pain. Stiffness. Depression. I had it all.Over my years working with clients with IBS or other gut health problems, I've also seen an increasing number of my IBS clients who have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia - or have Fibromyalgia-like symptoms. As I worked more with these clients and took extra courses in functional medicine, I was surprised to learn that there IS a link between Fibromyalgia AND IBS. The amazing part of this news?The link between Fibro and IBS is part of the answer to healing both of them. At the same time. On today's episode, I cover the two invisible (but findable!) sources of pain, brain fog, and fatigue in both Fibromyalgia AND IBS.On this episode, you'll learn:How to test for these invisible sources of painHow they got in your body in the first placeAnd steps you can take to get them outI hope you're ready - because this episode is about to blow your mind!Other episodes mentioned in this episode:Episode 76// Heal Your Fibromyalgia - Client Testimonial with my client SharonOther links from the show:Join the Foundations Program Waitlist!Connect with us on social media!Facebook: @betterbellytherapiesInstagram: @betterbellytherapiesWebsite: betterbellytherapies.comThis episode was first published at BetterBellyTherapies.com/podcast/85 Now - May 29, 2024:WIN A FULL SCHOLARSHIP + $2OO OFF CODE:Get a $200 Off Code for the Better Belly Blueprint when you submit a screenshot of a podcast review.

Have you ever felt like your illness or condition was “too hard” for a health practitioner to handle?Does your diagnosis ever feel like a life sentence?

78// How Long Should It Take Me to Heal?

“How long?”It’s a valuable question; relevant to anyone starting a journey.Knowing the length of a journey prepares us for the road ahead, psychologically and practically.It’s SO important, we’ve already released a podcast episode on the hero’s journey and how it relates to health!In health, especially in gut health, asking how long tends to get you a shoulder shrug. An evasive answer. Sometimes even a definite answer (‘for the rest of your life’).It’s my goal to provide something more tangible in response to this question. As a student of health and of my clients, I keep close notes on how many and what type of clients are healing at what rate.What’s a reasonable rate of healing to share with someone when they ask (or are at least wondering) how long this will take? What can I share from knowledge, and what can I share from experience?After two years of working with clients doing functional lab testing, my team and I recently updated our signature program, the Foundations Program. The update mirrors what we’ve found to be true about the time it takes to heal from gut health problems, plus the specific, consistent stages of healing that we’re seeing in our clients.Other episodes mentioned in this episode:Ep. 54// Health is a Hero's JourneyEp. 55// The One and Only Question You Need to Ask to Know If You Have a Gut PathogenEp. 59// How to Choose the Best Food Sensitivity Test for YouOther links from the show:Schedule Your Qualifying Call with AllisonConnect with us on social media!Facebook: @betterbellytherapiesInstagram: @betterbellytherapiesWebsite: betterbellytherapies.com*This episode was first published at BetterBellyTherapies.com/podcast/78.
