You are notttt whatever symptoms keep tagging alon You are notttt whatever symptoms keep tagging along. You're definitely not stuck there because Susie or doctor smith said so. If you've been in a flare cycle, your body is trying so hard to heal and it wants to! And it cannn💜 Why can't you be like my client that saw her first normal BM in 3 years? Or my client who didn't believe her body wouldn't give her a "food baby" after meals one day. In the nicest way possible, you are not special! You can heal, too. Release the ceiling of limitations, believe in bigger and better, and stop at nothing to get there. Xoxo Alexa

And then you get to do more of youuuu booboo when uncomfortable and inconvenient symptoms are not on your mind 24/7 🧠📈 All my girls and guys trying to get to THIS level of unbothered comment HEAL. Put a free Gut Health Strategy sesh on the calendar and do the damn thingggg! #selfhealer #ibd #guthealth #crohns #ulcerativecolitis

In partnership w/ @ntatraining As an NTP I prioritize whole foods that have been around for centuries over the quick industrialized food of the last decades. If the mainstream push for refined foods over whole foods has made you question things, 👀 you're going to align with the nutritional therapy perspective.

I didn't know anything about anything at the time, I didn't know anything about anything at the time, but my stubbornness and 'tude gave me the push I needed to not settle in my health.

While alsooooo maintaining a little balance ☺️🍨 W While alsooooo maintaining a little balance ☺️🍨 With a whole day ahead at the beach, I had my salad for some real food for lunch and all the necessary beach food groups: salty, crunchy, and sweet 🧀🥨 Plus plenty of liquids to stay hydrated. Ice cream caveat: I knew my body would do okay with a this, so it was a sweet treat splurge I felt good about! If you're actively flaring/reacting to lots of foods including dairy, I'm pro not adding fuel to the fire via trigger foods🙅🏼‍♀️ What are your fave beach snacks??🦀
