by Alexa | Dec 19, 2024 | Living with chronic conditions

Have you been on a health journey with Crohn’s, UC, or another chronic diagnosis and resonate with feeling unsafe, unstable, and unpredictable in your own body? It’s less of a common theme and more of a ‘given’ that someone with long-standing...

Lately I've been getting quite a few comments on m Lately I've been getting quite a few comments on my food videos on tiktok like, "wait I thought you couldn't eat that with Crohn's?" And that brings to me exactly why I'm here. To show people what's possible when you really focus on healing! The general recommendations for IBD were NOT made with a self-healer like you in mind. So when I get a question like that I think, well according to who?? And in regard to what body? In what state of IBD health?? These things all matter. 📲 If you don't have your copy of my ebook yet, DM or comment below EBOOK and I'll send you the link! My ebook has been put in the hands of hundreds of IBD self-healers who are looking to know what they should be eating once and for all, just like you. Follow my guidelines for the Flaring diet and work your way into Healing and then Thriving! 🍳🫐🥩🥕🍏
Quick disclaimer, you're allowed to disagree with Quick disclaimer, you're allowed to disagree with what language you use for yourself and how you identify with this 😉 In my belief system, the mind and body are not just connected. They are one. Note that passing emotions are not beliefs. But emotions we feel chronically can shape our beliefs. Therefore, all emotions across the spectrum are welcome and should be felt when they come up. If you've made any language/perspective swaps, I would love to hear. 💭🗣️These are what feel right for me.
Somewhere along the way, I learned that with havin Somewhere along the way, I learned that with having IBD, controlling the controllables is my healing advantage. That’s why I’m intentional about how I create my morning and night routines. ​​#HealthgradesPartner #PaidPartnership Tap the link in my bio to get the scoop on my night routine on @healthgrades! The thing is, mornings haven’t always been pleasant and productive, in fact, mornings were once my most challenging time of day. My digestion needed a lot of extra time to feel normal, and that’s where my self-experimentation with morning routines started. Now, I’ve found the routine that works with my body. When it comes to my morning routine, I’m focused on: ☀waking up my digestion ☀getting my mindset right ☀starting the day with a nourishing meal I’d love to know, what are your IBD-loving morning and night routines? Do we have any in common? #ibd #inflammatoryboweldisease #crohns #ulcerativecolitis
