If you're new here, HELLO!🙋‍♀️ I've had this IBD If you're new here, HELLO!🙋‍♀️

I've had this IBD focused account since 2012 and I've been an NTP since 2017🥝🧀🍒🍣

Gut health and nutrition is quite literally my life☺️

I love to help the newly diagnosed learn how to live with a chronic diagnosis as much as I love helping someone who's had IBD for 20 years and has never really healed their gut, get through a flare and get more safe foods in their diet.

I also know how limiting the narrative of living with IBD is and I love sharing my food and my health to show you what's possible. 🌟

If you're someone that doesn't like being told, "You can't do that," or you have a strong feeling that there's more you could do for your health, and you despise feeling like a victim, you're going to love it here.

Share with me, what brought you here?? What are your health goals? ☺️🥩🤸🏼‍♂️🍳🫜🥕
Be awareeeee 💀 People are jumping at the bit to t Be awareeeee 💀

People are jumping at the bit to tell you holistic approaches won't work.

Either they simply know nothing about them or tried unsuccessfully.

Heck, my own pedi GI at the time of getting diagnosed discouraged me from functional medicine (and that's putting it very lightly — he was completely condescending and flexing his God complex).

You'll find snakes in the comments of any social post even hinting that we have some influence over chronic conditions 🤨

They're everywhere.

But THEY are not living in your body and don't face the consequences of you doing, or not doing.

Healing is personal and you're allowed to do it your way. Be brave and follow what you feel called to do. It could actually change the course of your life! 👀🙋‍♀️

These clients are different ages, with different f These clients are different ages, with different forms and severities of IBD, and guess what: not one of them is a special unicorn for healing their biggest GI issues!!

They're all just people who knew in their bones that there was MORE to health, even with IBD, than living through pain, anxieties, and uncertainty.

If you're ready to stop being the person reading these client wins and start being the client doing the winning, comment or dm me "self-healer" to let me know it's time :-)

If you've gotten a diagnosis then you've already b If you've gotten a diagnosis then you've already been put into the box of limitations.

From social media, from stats, from providers, from sally's mom's gardener's daughter 🥸

But it's a trap. Don't fall for it.

This box makes you believe that the story starts and ends with a diagnosis. It's where it starts but it's FAR from where it ends. 🫡
