Let's talk m o d e r a t i o n As a practitioner,

Let's talk m o d e r a t i o n

As a practitioner, my philosophy is to restrict the least amount foods that still provide a healing landscape. I'm not a restrict for the sake of restricting, type of practitioner. And often, my clients are easing back into those foods in 2-4 weeks.

But there is a time and purpose to remove foods.

Let's paint the picture ➡️ your GI symptoms are daily and you feel like you react to all foods. Maybe one day a food works and the next it causes a gut sh!t storm. You then remove the foods that could be problematic include a lot more gut-supportive, anti-inflammatory foods, and during this time, your gut gets a break and your immune system can not overreact. In my practice, you're also including supplements targeted for healing and implementing lifestyle habits that support stress response.

This is the healing work. When you begin to reintroduce foods, 1 of 2 things will happen. You will begin tolerating foods and building out a bigger and bigger "safe foods" list. And/or some foods will prove to be triggers.

Now you have a clear idea what to be eating for now and can retry the trigger foods later after more healing has occurred.

Because of the healing work, unpredictability becomes less and less of an issue.

So yes, even though mainstream diet advice will say all foods in moderation, this doesn't apply if you're on a mission to heal 🫶💪🏼

p.s. eating junky food could mean ultra-processed foods, takeout, or, simply things that are not good for YOUR body, right now.

Fatigue 😴💤

One of, if not the most widely reported symptoms of not only IBD, but across other diagnoses (and just in general!)

It seems so many people cannot catch up and have defaulted to always feeling a little (or a lot) exhausted.

Fatigue is like any other sign from the body — its communication asking for change!

The root causes are plentiful but often come back to a few biggies and can play off of each other.

For example, you may have severe nutrient deficiencies that can be due to gut inflammation + permeability.

This can lead you to not exercise, feel a lack of motivation and desire in your work, disinterest in hobbies, or trouble maintaining social connections.

See how it's all connected?

Takeaway 1 ➡️ fatigue starts with gut health and the foundations of health (luckily these are ALL things in our control😄)

Takeaway 2 ➡️ it is absolutely possible to improve your energy and therefore improve your relationships, invest in hobbies, excel at work, etc. Life CAN be fulfilling again. Don't fall into the "oh I guess this is what 35 is like," or, "IBD means fatigue forever." Nooo

Is fatigue a familiar friend to you? What quesitons do you have about improving your energy?

I currently have TWO February spots for new clients to claim (returning clients, you're welcome too!). Start by filling out the application in bio or DMing me💪🏼

New as of this year: The Self-Healer Starter package is being offered at an Introductory price point for 1 month of working with me.

If you live with fatigue, gut issues, and are overall unhappy with your health, what are you waiting for? 🚙 Get in love, it's time to heal!
