Talking about weight loss is not something I do, nor it is anything I work with clients on, or promote. Weight has nothing to do with gut health, mental health, or the kind of health and healing I promote. This title is meant to be a little controversial to grab your attention and offer a different idea behind weight loss and diet culture. We have been told forever that we need to exercise more and eat less to lose weight, and we are bombarded with images and messages about what the ideal body type is. It's all bullshit, and it feeds into so many people developing disordered eating, orthorexia, and body images issues, which I have personally struggled with, and have found to be a very common thing among my clients. Many people with gut issues have become afraid of foods, macronutrients, and can easily develop an obsession with eating clean.  If this is triggering to you to read, I am sorry, and invite you to listen to the episode to understand the message here.    *** GIVEAWAY!

As a highly sensitive person and someone who has struggle with IBS, this connection has become so apparent to me, especially through learning about the nervous system and mind-body connection.  In this episode I will draw the parallels between the two, and explain WHAT causes both to develop in individuals, further solidifying their link. *** GIVEAWAY!

This was such a fun, juicy conversation with musician, energy worker, and truth seeker, Stephanie Carlin. We talk about her journey through gut issues, and how she overcame them by learning to love herself and listening to her truth. This led her to creating Truth School, a place where trailblazers can unlock the emotions behind their imbalances and diseases so that they can trust themselves, reclaim their Truth, and generate 6-figure incomes.  Find out more about Stephanie at: Instagram: www.instagram.com/stephaniecarlinmusic_ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWXM2EIQJ2H46TxnikCH61g?sub_confirmation=1 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3hYOgsUbixDMfmqIl7f50u?si=P6HQDFCFQEKptzrbfHwV1A TikTok: tiktok.com/@stephaniecarlinmusic Join her weekly newsletter Taste Of Truth https://stephaniecarlin.ck.page/8fa14328c7   Find out more about Trust Your Gut: Get on the waitlist for the upcoming group program, Gut-Brain Healing Toolkit: Join Waitlist  Download your free guide: Why Your Healthy Diet Isn't Solving Your Gut Issues If this resonated with you, be sure to let me know over on: Instagram: @trustyourgut.health TikTok: @trustyourgut.health Book a free 30 minute discovery call with me HERE To find out more: www.trustyourguthealth.com Please SUBSCRIBE, leave a review, and share this podcast with anyone you think may benefit!

Oh, bloating. One of the most common symptoms I hear folks complaining about when it comes to their gut. Bloating was the daily norm for me for so much of my life. The morning would start fine but by the end of the day my stomach would look pregnant. If you experience this you know just how uncomfortable and disheartening it can be. These are the most common reasons behind bloating that I’ve experience in myself, my clients, and in working with gut health and the nervous system. Some of these may be more root cause, and some may be symptoms of a root cause.   Get on the waitlist for the upcoming group program, Gut-Brain Healing Toolkit: Join Waitlist  Download your free guide: Why Your Healthy Diet Isn't Solving Your Gut Issues If this resonated with you, be sure to let me know over on: Instagram: @trustyourgut.health TikTok: @trustyourgut.health Book a free 30 minute discovery call with me HERE To find out more: www.trustyourguthealth.com Please SUBSCRIBE, leave a review, and share this podcast with anyone you think may benefit!

This is the first interview airing on the podcast! I talk with Dr. Tawny Kross, a physical therapist who specializes in chronic pain. So much of what she shares about her mind-body approach applies to those who struggle with chronic symptoms. Dr. Tawny Kross graduated with her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Duke University in 2013. She has worked in a Veterans Affairs hospital for nearly a decade now. Through the course of her practice, she has developed a very comprehensive and integrative approach to PT, which evolved from the necessity of such an approach in her work with the complexities of those who have chronic pain. This includes nutrition, hypnosis, guided imagery, mindfulness among other practices. Focusing on mental health and being trauma-sensitive is of particular importance, as many of her clients have experienced military sexual trauma. She helps her clients move beyond pain and fear by connecting them with internal motivations, guiding them to see innate strengths and realize their inner healing abilities.   She recently started her own business, Kross Centered Care - Integrative PT, Health and Wellness in order to bring her expertise to more people.    Find out more about Tawny:   Website Instagram   Find out more about Trust Your Gut: Get on the waitlist for the upcoming group program, Gut-Brain Healing Toolkit: Join Waitlist  Download your free guide: Why Your Healthy Diet Isn't Solving Your Gut Issues If this resonated with you, be sure to let me know over on: Instagram: @trustyourgut.health TikTok: @trustyourgut.health Book a free 30 minute discovery call with me HERE To find out more: www.trustyourguthealth.com Please SUBSCRIBE, leave a review, and share this podcast with anyone you think may benefit!

I am currently in Mexico for a month housesitting and dog sitting all by myself. It has been a huge slow down for me filled with more solitude than I've had in a long time.  This was something I knew I needed and have been extremely excited about. And it has given me some great insight to my nervous system and the pattern of busy, go-go-go, do-do-do that I learned to keep me safe. I'm uncovering the ways my system tries to achieve safety when I slow down, like loneliness, boredom, and anxiety.  If you also struggle with this pattern, or even if you don't, I highly recommend taking a listen and see what awareness this brings to your own protective mechanisms!  This also includes a really fun spider story! Yay! (I do not like spiders, and they certainly activate my nervous system, haha)!   Get on the waitlist for the upcoming group program, Gut-Brain Healing Toolkit: Join Waitlist  Download your free guide: Why Your Healthy Diet Isn't Solving Your Gut Issues If this resonated with you, be sure to let me know over on: Instagram: @trustyourgut.health TikTok: @trustyourgut.health Book a free 30 minute discovery call with me HERE To find out more: www.trustyourguthealth.com Please SUBSCRIBE, leave a review, and share this podcast with anyone you think may benefit!
