Dooo you what you sayyy you're going to do! This Dooo you what you sayyy you're going to do! This is so important for rebuilding trust after/while going through chaos and unpredictability. Little things matter. If you say you're going to walk in the morning, DON'T hit snooze. If you're committing to cooking at home DON'T pick up take out because it's easier. Yes, this can be hard. It's habit change. And healing chronic illness requires changing who you've been. And you can do it!! #selfhealer #chronicillness #healingibd #crohns #girlinhealing

The only thing more fun than feeling the benefits The only thing more fun than feeling the benefits of real food, strong foundations, and the confidence to live a healthy life, is helping others do the same 🤸🏼‍♀️ paid partnership @ntatraining Health becomes a lot more stressful when it feels like it's out of our hands and up to genetics or chance. Instead, the nutritional therapy approach has us rebuild the foundations — what health and stability grows from — and looks at health through a whole-body perspective. And this is life-changing! If you're thinking, "I need this," grab a seat in the next NTP webinar and learn more ☺️ https://www.nutritionaltherapy.com/webinars/ntp #holistichealth #NTP #foundationsfirst #realfoodheals
As a person with an IBD diagnosis myself (20 years As a person with an IBD diagnosis myself (20 years ago) I understand how overwhelming IBD can be. The fatigue, the constant pain/bloat/loose stool when things are bad, can take over. It gets depressing. It gets scary. I'm grateful to have been very healthy for many years but I've experienced many bouts of those hard times. I was only 12 when I got diagnosed. But you, just like me, have something powerful in you: the ability to go DEEPER in your healing and decide to try a different way. This way of healing embraces the work that only you can do; adapting your day-to-day choices to create longer-term health. Your health is in your hands, and that's exciting! My practice is open for you — comment or DM "self-healer" to begin 🤸‍♀️💗 #ibd #crohns #ulcerativecolitis #selfhealer #guthealth
