We loveeeee when the body responds rapidly when gi We loveeeee when the body responds rapidly when given the right tools! Linda has never been given a diagnosis from doctors but she has struggled for years with digestive issues, that may have really ramped up after her gallbladder removal. In 4 weeks, Linda's body has shown her that constant diarrhea, confusion with foods, 24/7 bloating, and inflammation, are not her "forever" ways of being. Her body just needed help healing. In 1-3 months my clients are often reversing years of symptoms that have plagued them. Gut issues are just the clue to change things, they're not an identity! Comment or DM "HEAL" to start your gut healing journey. I'd love to support you on getting your life back!
If you started painting the outside of an abandone If you started painting the outside of an abandoned home a beautiful crisp white while the home is falling apart, you'd be getting some looks from the neighbors 👀 Rebuilding health, just like rebuilding a home has to start with a strong foundation. #(in partnership w/ @ntatraining) Short-term fad diets, viral supplements, or the newest procedure will only "work" for a bit before it's clear at the foundation is not strong. As NTPs, we focus on rebuilding health through a nutrient-dense diet, properly functioning digestion, optimal sleep, healthy stress management, and regulated blood sugar 🙌🏼 Learn more about this foundations first approach at the next three NTP webinar: https://www.nutritionaltherapy.com/webinars/ntp
Without a whole-body healing lifestyle, life with Without a whole-body healing lifestyle, life with IBD looks a lot like: ❌Unpredictability ❌On and off flare cycles ❌Symptoms that become normalized ❌can't eat anything safely All signs that lots of things are probably out of whack — functional issues, inflammation, gut permeability, nervous system instability, and more. And, all things that completely take over your life. The key to the best life possible with IBD is harnessing all the factors in your control, including healing the root issues driving dysfunction and developing a revamped healing lifestyle. What's ACTUALLY possible when you take this healing approach? Here are recent wins from my current clients within their first 2-4 weeks of healing protocols : ✅ from bloating after EVERY meal to noticing less at 2 weeks in and none after meals, by 4 weeks in for my client, T ✅ from loose stool after every meal, to no urgent bathroom trips after meals, just two weeks into her protocol for my client, L ✅ to months of constipation and 4 days since her last BM to moving things 2 days after her session for my client, C If you're stuck in a flare, have zero energy, or can't seem to figure out what foods are causing these vicious cycles, you need the Three-Month Healing Program yesterday! 🎇 DM me "HEAL" to set up your free Gut Health Strategy Session 👋
I'm Alexa ☺️👋 I've had Crohn's for 20 years, have I'm Alexa ☺️👋 I've had Crohn's for 20 years, have healed in ways experts said wouldn't work, and now I help others heal their gut and get their life back. To get different results we need to dooo different things. 1) different than whatever it was we were doing before/during when health issues started 2) different (or at least, more varied or layered) than what's conventional, because strategies are veryyy limited there These 5 things have made some of the biggest impact in my wellbeing in the 20 years I've had a diagnosis of Crohn's. What questions do you have?☺️
