transform your gut health in 90 days โคต๏ธ
From gas, bloat, and nausea to... none. From need From gas, bloat, and nausea to... none. From needing a nap daily (or seriously dragging without one) to... just not needing one. From irregular, loose BMs with urgency, to... normalcy. Not to mention she has been getting compliments on her glowing skin and healthy hair annnnnd came off her anxiety medication (after over a decade) thanks to her body being in a stable, predictable place. This is the body healing ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ Save this post if you're dreaming of results like this. Book a call if you're actually committed to getting it doneโ˜บ๏ธ
hot girls may have gut issues but I promise you ca hot girls may have gut issues but I promise you can still be a baddie without them ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ the three-month healing program is the place for you if you're ready to LOCK TF IN on yourself. It's you, me, and building a strong and healthy foundation. ๐Ÿ‘‹ Good byeeeee bloat after every meal, cancelling plans, and three boring safe foods. ๐Ÿ‘‹ Helloooo forgetting to think about your gut, being excited to cook again, and keeping plans. Book your call in the bio to get started โ˜€๏ธ #selfhealer #crohns #ulcerativecolitis #guthealth #functionalnutrition
FOUNDATIONS, FOUNDATIONS, FOUNDATIONS ๐Ÿ“ฃ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿƒ FOUNDATIONS, FOUNDATIONS, FOUNDATIONS ๐Ÿ“ฃ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’ค๐ŸŒฑ If your been bombarded with the latest hot prescriptions and procedures it can be reaaaaal tempting to jump on the bandwagon. (in collaboration with @ntatraining) Without rock solid foundations, I fear you'll revert back to where you are now in time or if you stop that strategy. That's why foundations are KEY!!! Nutritional therapy is centered around healing from a foundations-first approach then addressing the body as one whole connected being ๐Ÿ™ If you love this approach (and think it should be the default approach๐Ÿ‘€) you'll love attending the next NTP webinar to hear more about this program and philosophy: https://www.nutritionaltherapy.com/webinars/ntp #ntp #nutritionaltherapy #holistichealing #functionalnutrition #selfhealer
I remember the very first call with this sweet you I remember the very first call with this sweet young woman. She was dealing with so many symptoms daily and was frustrated. But she had the BEST attitude. She was willing to get into the program and HEAL no matter what it took. The woman she is today is even more bubbly, vibrant, and of course, healthier and more confident in herself and her body, than she was three months ago. Not only did physical symptoms dissolve or greater reduce, her ability to listen to her body and know what it needed was fine-tuned. She now knows how to pivot through nutrition, supplements, and her day-to-day, if she hits a bump in the road. And that's exactly the point of the three-month healing program ๐ŸŽ‰ Now enrolling self-healers to commit to a healing Spring.

I call these "nervous system breaks", and they hel I call these "nervous system breaks", and they help me to rest and reset when I'm feeling overwhelmed or burnt out. As a nutritional therapy practitioner, I'm extra mindful of where stress comes into play โ€” specifically chronic stress โ€” and the impact that can have on my digestion or other areas of my body. (paid partnership) To avoid slipping into a cycle of survival mode or burnout, I take nervous system breaks. What works for me is about 20 minutes with: ๐Ÿ’ค a weighted blanket ๐Ÿ’ค red light therapy ๐Ÿ’ค a guided meditation or soothing music ๐Ÿ’ค a cozy tea I feel rested and refreshed and ready to ease back into my day! Understanding my body's needs and addressing them appropriately as an NTP is such a gift. If you're interested in learning about the body through a holistic lens, I highly recommend attending the next @ntatraining webinar!! https://www.nutritionaltherapy.com/webinars/ntp #ntp #holisticwellness #stressmanagement #selfhealer #nutritionaltherapy
