THE BETTER BELLY PODCAST - Natural Constipation Remedies, Acid Reflux, Hormones, Gut Health, Functional Medicine

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? I know I was!Whether or not you have struggled with or are currently struggling with infertility, many of us know someone who is (or will) struggle with it.

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!

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. You with me?

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? Haunting you everywhere you go, yet invisible to those around you?Have you ever wished you just DIDN’T have the disease, illness, or even the body you had?If so, you are like many of our clients we have worked with.And I understand, I’ve been there. I’ve asked God why I had the body I did, what I did wrong to get here, or why I couldn’t have a different body.Yet along the pathway to my internal healing, I have found that having a chronic illness or autoimmune diagnosis is actually not as scary as I once thought it to be.I’m not as stuck or as powerless as I used to believe. My body (and myself) is actually a GIFT! To myself, to others, and to the world.The best thing is - our clients are learning the same things for themselves every day.How is this happening?On today’s episode, I am going to share with you 5 reasons that your autoimmune diagnosis or chronic illness doesn’t have to be scary OR overwhelming - even if it sometimes feels like it is.If you have any Autoimmune Disease, including:FibromyalgiaCrohn'sUlcerative ColitisRheumatoid ArthritisEndometriosisInterstitial CystitisThen this episode is for you!Other 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/82.

Do you have an IBS diagnosis?If so, you may know that it’s not a particularly specific diagnosis.It could be diarrhea, constipation, OR both. Plus the wide array of symptoms from bloating to anxiety, and beyond.IBS is, by nature, a catch-all diagnosis. You can find that IN the name - Irritable Bowel Syndrome.A syndrome, in the medical world, refers to a disease state with a recognizable pattern of symptoms but lacking in consistent or known causes.So if you have a syndrome, the cause is unknown, what can you do about it? (And what can you do about it instead of going on a diet like the Low FODMAP diet?)Do you have any hope of getting rid of it?In the case of IBS, the answer is a resounding YES.In today's episode, I’m sharing with you the 6 most common causes of IBS that we are seeing at Better Belly Therapies.Other episodes mentioned in this episode:55// The One and Only Question You Need to Ask to Know If You Have a Gut Pathogen52// 10 Things to Consider Before Starting a Heavy Metal Detox47// The Gut-Sinus Connection46// The Gut-Breath Connection45// The Gut-Skin Connection59// How to Choose the Best Food Sensitivity Test for You25// Histamines - with Isabel Smith RDOther links from the show:Schedule Your Qualifying Call with AllisonSchedule a New Client Appointment with me (Ann Arbor, MI)To find your own Visceral Manipulation Therapist, Google or head to IAHP “Find a Practitioner”Connect with us on social media!Facebook: @betterbellytherapiesInstagram: @betterbellytherapiesWebsite: betterbellytherapies.com*This episode was first published at BetterBellyTherapies.com/podcast/81.

Over the past two years, we’ve had over 50 women apply to work with us at Better Belly Therapies to do our signature gut healing program - the Foundations Program.Part of the process of working with us is filling out our Qualifying Call Application - a series of questions that gathers all the necessary data for me and my team to decide if we can help the woman who is applying to work with us.On today’s podcast, I’m sharing the results from nearly 50 women’s responses to the Qualifying Call application. These responses are all from women that we approved to talk with, and who qualified to work with us.Their responses include SO much information:- How long they’ve been feeling sick- Their top 5 symptoms- What they’ve tried - and what hasn’t worked- If they’ve done labs- And more!I feel called to share this data with you all. Many women have asked questions while meeting with our team, like: “Am I broken?” “Am I unfixable?” “Have you ever heard this before?”There’s a common feeling of loneliness in the journey.But they aren’t alone. By sharing this episode, I want you to know that YOU aren’t alone either.I invite you to sit back and listen. Do you sound like one of these women? Is their story like yours?If their stories DO resonate with you, I want you to know: You are not alone, and most importantly, you are not stuck.Links from the show:Take this Episode's Quiz: Your HealthSchedule Your Qualifying Call with AllisonConnect with us on social media!Facebook: @betterbellytherapiesInstagram: @betterbellytherapiesWebsite: betterbellytherapies.com*This episode was first published at BetterBellyTherapies.com/podcast/80.

Have you struggled with Gut issues for a decade - or more?Have you gone to multiple doctors, even GI specialists, and never gotten an answer? Or maybe the answer was simply a diagnosis of IBS?Have you felt like there was more going on in your body, yet couldn’t figure it out with the doctor’s help?Did you have other problems like sleep issues, weight gain, and fatigue?Have you tried everything from elimination diets to building sleep hygiene habits - and you just didn’t know what else to do?If you’ve answered yes to a few of these, you’ll relate to my client Becca!On her final 6 month follow up call, she allowed us to share her story on air.

“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.

People are more willing to talk about politics, religion, or sex - than we are willing to talk about money.Did you grow up in a household where it was impolite to talk about money?Do you feel shame about how much money you have, or don’t have, or wished you had?Have you noticed that, no matter how much money you make, you still feel anxiety around money?Have you ever felt shame or guilt about a decision you made with money - especially in your health?If so - today’s podcast is for you!On today’s episode, we’re talking with Financial Therapist Lindsay Bryan-Podvin about the emotional side of money.

According to the Center for Disease Control in America, Fibromyalgia currently affects about 4 million US adults, or about 2% of the American population.Of these cases, 75-90% of those diagnosed with Fibromyalgia are women.Fibromyalgia is a pain disorder with unknown causes and origins, and for anyone diagnosed with it in the US, most solutions for fibromyalgia are focused on mediating pain - not healing it.On today’s episode, I interviewed my client Sharon, who was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in her 40’s. Since then, she has tried everything she knew to try to help her chronic fatigue, pain, stiffness, and brain fog. Diet, food restrictions, doctors, medications, supplements, hydrotherapy, massage - you name it.Now, just three months into working with me in my signature Foundations Program, Sharon has NO pain, is able to exercise 5 days a week, and she has achieved her main goal in our work - to be able to attend her granddaughter’s soccer games.I am SO excited to share today's podcast episode with you!Other 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/76.

This online course is going LIVE for registration very soon at the turn of the new year - Jan 5th through 12th.Today, I’m sharing another testimonial on how bloodwork changed a life. But this time - it’s mine! Last year, I got pregnant for the first time. And on the week of Christmas 2020, I found out that my pregnancy was not viable.I used two simple blood markers on my blood labs from my doctor in the months after my miscarriage to guide my care for myself and prep my body for my next pregnancy - to keep and to hold to full term.I’ve already shared some of my journey with ya’ll on Episodes 27 and 56.

Have you ever had SIBO?Do you think you might have SIBO?Or - are you the one out of every 2 people who have gotten SIBO - only to get it again? (SIBO has a 50% recurrence rate in individuals who have had it before!)Whether you are one of the above, or just a curious listener trying to make sense of all things gut and information out there, then today’s episode is just for you.I’ve had several clients now that I’ve worked with who have been checked for SIBO, had SIBO, or been worked with to get rid of their SIBO prior to working with me.When they start working with me, I have consistently found TWO factors that are impacting these client’s health. These two missing puzzle pieces to healing from SIBO have consistently NOT been checked for by other practitioners.Of our clients who we’ve worked with who have had SIBO - all of them have healed from SIBO completely, and no longer require to be on the low FODMAP or any other restricted diet to keep their gut clean and healthy.If you want to know the two most common reasons that I see SIBO recurring in our clients - you are in the right episode!Join the Blood Lab Bootcamp WaitlistCorrection: Baking Soda dosage is 1/4 teaspoon (correct dosage below)Baking Soda Test*:1/4 tsp baking soda6 oz waterDrink first thing in the morning (before brush teeth or drink any liquid)After drinking, time self for how long it takes to burp.Do this for 3 mornings in a row to get an average result.

Our doctors constantly hammer us about our cholesterol. Are we eating too much meat? Red meat? Fatty meat? Egg yolks?If our cholesterol is high, there’s shame and stigma surrounding that number. (PS. I have tons of slender, even “healthy”, clients with high cholesterol. Their doctors literally don’t know what to do with them).If our cholesterol is fine, right now, we’re terrified of if it ever goes high.If our cholesterol is low - doctor’s don’t even talk too much about that. But it happens. And it is something my clients - and you - may be dealing with.I was really touched when one of our students on a Blood Lab Bootcamp live call shared that both she and her mom had high cholesterol. They were recommended by their doctors to take statins. They were hesitant to do so because statins have SO MANY SIDE EFFECTS and are a for-life drug.This client of mine was FASCINATED by how much information was included in Blood Lab Bootcamp about all the reasons that cholesterol can be high and HOW MANY OPTIONS SHE HAD TO HELP LOWER IT. Options that were unrelated to statins, medication, OR shaming oneself into lower cholesterol!In today's episode, I’m debunking cholesterol myths about:Cholesterol’s link to food (it’s not linked to fatty food)How cholesterol gets raised (and lowered!)How balancing your cholesterol levels actually improves your ENTIRE HEALTH (not just heart health!)

Do you struggle with acid reflux?Between 20-30% of Americans have acid reflux symptoms every week. That’s almost one third of Americans every week!According to the World Journal of Gastroenterology in a study of more than 6,000 patients, 63% of people with IBS ALSO have acid reflux / or GERD.On top of that, IBS affects women in a 2:1 ratio compared to men. So the overwhelming majority of people with IBS are women, and the majority of these women with IBS also have GERD.Safe to say - I have a lot of clients with acid reflux and ALL the symptoms that come with it.It’s a common problem, with a common solution - that doesn’t work. Acid reducing medications - PPI’s, or antacids - never SOLVE the problem of acid reflux. They merely mask it, or make it manageable. Sort of.However, with every client I’ve worked with, we’ve been able to reduce their acid reflux 70-100% by following our unique pathway and assessment process we have for acid reflux.One of the first steps in this process is something you can do RIGHT NOW with basic blood work you have at home, and it’s something I teach IN DEPTH in my course Blood Lab Bootcamp, which is reopening for registration on January 5.Blood Lab Bootcamp is all about you learning how to analyze your most common blood lab work ordered by your doctor using functional medicine analysis methods so you can find the ROOT cause of your health problems and stop spinning your wheels between supplements and doctor appointments.In today’s episode, I’m going to do a quick fly-by on 10 markers that I consistently use to find the root cause of acid reflux.

With Blood Lab Bootcamp reopening on Jan 5th in the new year, 2022, I wanted to introduce y’all to some of my clients whose lives have changed by being able to read their blood labs using functional analysis methods! On today’s episode, you’ll meet my client, Jessica. When Jessica came to me she had been struggling most of her life with hormonal imbalance, weight gain, skin problems, low energy/mood, and had been diagnosed with endometriosis and adenomyosis.  She had already spent lots of time and money on her health doing all the things conventional doctors had recommended: bloodwork, surgery, and medication.  Tired of her problems and not knowing where to turn, Jessica’s life changed when we analyzed her blood labs from a functional medicine perspective. As she said of the results, “They [lab markers] couldn’t have been normal - not with the way I felt.” I am so excited to share with you ALL the changes she’s experiencing - and it all started with a little blood work! Other links from the show:Join the Blood Lab Bootcamp waitlist!Leave a Rating and Review because you love us!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/67.Mentioned in this episode:GET THE FREE TRAINING!Learn how to heal your gut, for GOOD, even if nothing else has worked before. -> Go to https://betterbellytherapies.com/training to watch this FREE micro-training today!

Back in March of this year, 2021, I released a podcast episode titled “Why Your Doctor Says Your Labs Look Normal When You Don’t Feel Normal.”I recorded this episode on the heels of my first pregnancy and subsequent miscarriage. At the time, I was doing some serious detective work with my blood labs!The miscarriage and discoveries in my blood labs drove me to record my initial thesis on why doctors are not reading your labs right. Creating that episode got me thinking:What if every woman could read her blood labs?What if women, and men, didn’t need to take their doctor’s word for it anymore?What if we had power, and understanding, in our own hands to negotiate and communicate clearly?What if we had data that PROVED we were gaslighting ourselves, and stopped all the self-doubt and feelings that we’re making up our symptoms.We do. We have the data. It’s in our blood. We just don’t know how to read it!From this, the idea for Blood Lab Bootcamp was born. Today, I’m happy to announce that, as of January 5, 2022, my premier course Blood Lab Bootcamp will be launching a second time for our second round of students.As part of that announcement, I am going to share with you the 6 reasons your doctor is reading your labs wrong PLUS how YOU can learn how to do it better.I am so excited for Blood Lab Bootcamp, and it’s my goal that by the end of this episode and over the course of the next two months, you’ll understand why and will be, too!Other episodes mentioned in this episode:Ep. 31// Why Your Doctor Says Your Labs Look "Normal" - Even When You Don't FEEL NormalOther links from the show:Join the Blood Lab Bootcamp waitlist!Top Industry Spending in Lobbying for 2020Leave a Rating and Review because you love us!Connect with us on social media!Facebook: @betterbellytherapiesInstagram: @betterbellytherapiesWebsite: betterbellytherapies.com*This episode was first published at BetterBellyTherapies.com/podcast/66.

PERFECTIONISM…According to Brene Brown, “Perfectionism is the addictive belief that if we can appear perfect, we can avoid shame.”Have you ever wondered if what you were doing in your health was driven by a healthy desire to improve?Or if it was driven by an unbending force demanding you to do everything perfectly?In this week’s episode, let’s discuss how to identify if fear and shame are manifesting in your health.

Have you ever felt that your health journey was simply chaotic?Have you ever felt that your health journey was a type of living hell, one you didn’t know how to get out of?Have you ever felt that all you wanted in your health, and life, was a little order? Some clear next steps that would work? And a path that would get you - and keep you - healthy?I recently finished the book “12 Rules for Life” by Jordan B Peterson, and these elements of chaos, order, and hell hit me strongly in his book. Jordan B Peterson is a renowned psychologist who is on a mission to make sense of life. He combines philosophy, psychology, and the importance of story to create human meaning to explore subjects such as suffering, failing in life, and succeeding.When I originally read this book, I had no idea that I would connect to it so strongly in terms of health. But the more I read, the more parallels I saw to what Jordan was saying and the experience that both I and my clients go through in our health.Therefore, I wanted to dedicate an episode to Jordan’s three major concepts in his book, 12 Rules for Life: chaos, order, and hell.In today’s podcast, I’m going to map out what it means to walk through chaos, order, and hell in our health journey, how all three are necessary for true healing and growth, and what it looks like to walk well through each well.Other episodes mentioned in this episode:54// Health is a Hero's JourneyOther links from the show:Schedule Your 30 Minute Complimentary Consultation with AllisonThe Art of Effortless Living, Ingrid Bacci12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos, Jordan PetersonConnect with us on social media!Facebook: @betterbellytherapiesInstagram: @betterbellytherapiesWebsite: betterbellytherapies.com*This episode was first published at BetterBellyTherapies.com/podcast/64.

According to research, 10-15% of pregnancies end in miscarriage.That means that for about every 1 in 10 pregnancies, one ends up in miscarriage.It, however, does not mean that 1 in 10 women will experience a miscarriage. As of now in the US, 80% of child-bearing women have more than one child. So - while 1 in 10 of known pregnancies end in miscarriage, researchers estimate that as many as 1 in 3 women have a miscarriage.With that in mind, I knew that the moment that I experienced my miscarriage this January, I didn’t want to keep it a secret.On today’s episode, I’m going to share what I’ve been doing in my health since my miscarriage, and steps I’ve taken to shed any light I could find on clues my body was giving me about its health.Whether or not you’ve had a miscarriage, or ever want to be pregnant, my goal on today’s episode is to share with you about the power you can have in your health when your body breaks down in a way that you weren’t expecting it to and you don’t know how to respond.Also - Registration for Blood Lab Bootcamp is now OPEN!There's only 25 slots for participants this time around, so if you want to take control of your health and discover the next steps in your health through being able to read your own blood labs and finding what your doctor missed (and they did miss something!), register now!Registration closes for Blood Lab Bootcamp when the course fills OR on Sept. 8.And, as a reminder, this course will NEVER be this price again.

There’s ONE question to ask to know if you have a pathogen.This question is a good litmus test if you're wondering if you have a parasite, bacterial overgrowth, H. Pylori, Candida, C. Diff., or even the infamous Blastocystis Hominis.Have I, to the best of my ability and knowledge, done all the right things to make myself feel better, but don’t feel better?That’s it.If, despite ALL the things you’ve done, you don’t feel better - there’s probably something invisible going on.If you’ve answered YES to this episode’s question, tune in!

A hero begins their journey without all the answers. They usually have just a problem and a dream to solve that problem.If they had the tools and the power to solve that problem in chapter 1, it would make for a very short book! The problem would be solved, and our hero would go back to their life.The truth is, the hero story resides in our hearts because we identify with the hero when we have a problem that can’t be solved.Today’s episode, I want to dive into the elements in different stages of the hero’s journey. Those stages align 100% with the stages in the health journey.Creating this episode gave me a lot of encouragement, even as somebody who is further along in her health journey. It shows me where I’ve come from, where I’m going, what I have accomplished to get where I’m at, and how much further I have to go. I hope on today’s episode you find the same encouragement! I would love to hear: What stage of the hero’s journey do you think you’re in?

Have you ever said this to yourself or to a friend?“Despite all my efforts, I feel worse and worse.”I’m doing “all the right things,” and no matter what - I don’t feel betterBefore all this - exercise and being intentional with my diet made me feel better. Now - it has NO impact or makes me feel worse.If so, you are like many of my clients. These are things that I REGULARLY hear when I start working with my clients. Once you get sick enough, there seems to be no correlation between effort and results. Yet - we’re tempted to either work even harder in our health or just give up completely (because hey, it’s not helping anyways).However, It is EXACTLY this lack of correlation between effort and results that is a major sign that you may be working against yourself. There IS a better way. You actually are allowed to give up things to go up in health!On today’s episode, I’m going to be describing exactly how and WHY simplifying life can actually make you feel and become healthier.Other episodes mentioned in this episode:How to Find a GOOD Practitioner - 36// How to Choose The Best Chiropractor with Dr. Zach Simkins and Dr. Tygue ArvidsonOther links from the show:But You Don’t Look Sick: Spoon TheoryThe Five Love LanguagesSchedule Your Qualifying Call with AllisonLeave a Rating and Review because you love us!Connect with us on social media!Facebook: @betterbellytherapiesInstagram: @betterbellytherapiesWebsite: betterbellytherapies.com*This episode was first published at BetterBellyTherapies.com/podcast/51.

Yet your numbers are barely budging and you don’t feel any different? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, today’s episode is for YOU! Let’s go over 9 reasons why your supplements aren’t working, and give you an idea of what you can look into next to make sure that the time, energy, and money you’re putting into supplements is, in fact, worth it. Other episodes mentioned in this episode:Are you Shoulding Yourself? - Ep. 38// 4 Reasons Saying "I Should" Is Keeping You SickWhy probiotics aren’t working - Ep. 03 // Why Probiotics Aren't Healing Your GutOther links from the show:Work With Me - Schedule Your 30 Minute Complimentary Consultation with AllisonLeave a Rating and Review because you love us!Bill Rawls Healing Chronic Lyme Naturally, The WellBe PodcastDirty Genes, by Dr. Ben LynchBoundaries, by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John TownsendThe Body Keeps the Score, by Bessel van der Kolk M.D. Molecules of emotion, by Candace B.

Thus far on the podcast, I’ve talked about the physical and biochemical part of my journey - from my health downfall to uprising. What I haven’t spent much time talking about is the IMMENSE work I have done to spiritually and psychologically heal myself. Yes, I had to remove a parasite from my body and heal my leaky gut. But I believe 100% that if I ONLY had come at my healing from a physiological perspective, I would not be experiencing the health I enjoy today!This episode, let’s talk about the mental component of health!By no means is every sickness coming from the mind, but also, the mind - including subconscious processes and emotions - cannot be extricated from ANY experience of the body, be it pain or pleasure, sickness or health, success or failure.I encourage you to always seek a happier, healthier mindset even as you seek a happier, and healthier, body.If you haven’t gotten better. If you have spent thousands of dollars trying to find the root cause of your health problems, if you truly want to live a vibrant life and learn new ways to engage with yourself and the world - press in. Listen. Give yourself grace. And KEEP LOOKING.Don’t stop … Don’t stop… DON’T stop looking for answers.Other episodes mentioned in this episode:Food Sensitivities v.
