Stop wasting money on probiotic supplements that don’t even make it past your stomach acid.

If you’ve been taking capsules for months with zero change, this might be why:

Your gut doesn’t need more pills. Your gut needs food.

Specifically: prebiotic fiber → the stuff that feeds your good bacteria and helps them actually thrive.

🍫 Like dark chocolate (yep, it’s a prebiotic and fermented).
⚫ Or chia seeds (those gooey little microbiome miracle balls).
🍓 Or the good old-fashioned variety of fruits, veggies, nuts, and seeds.

Your gut is a rainforest. And probiotics are just the seeds.

Without the right soil (fiber) and the right conditions (balance + variety), nothing grows.

You don’t need a fancy supplement stack. You need to feed your microbiome like you actually care about it.

👉 Save this if you’re working on your gut health.

What if your body isn’t sabotaging you…it’s just sick of being starved?

There are so many videos telling you what not to eat.

No dairy. No gluten. No sugar. No fun.

But no one talks about what that actually does to you:
🕳️ It leaves holes in your meals.
😵‍💫 It creates stress.
🍪 And eventually… you binge the very food you swore off.

✨ That’s why I the Undieting Method requires adding before restricting.

Add more color. Add more fiber. Add more nourishing food that crowds out the chaos.

And if you do need to remove something? It feels so much easier...because you’re not starting from empty.

Let’s stop punishing our bodies for needing nourishment.

Let’s stop confusing restriction with health.

👇 Have you ever binged the exact food you restricted? Tell me below.

What if your bloating isn’t about what you ate…

…but how safe your body feels when you eat?

We always blame food. But bloating isn’t just gas. Or fiber. Or “bad digestion.”

Sometimes, bloating is your gut bracing for impact.

That’s your vagus nerve signaling that your gut isn’t safe to let go.

This is the missing link for so many people with chronic gut issues. The gut-brain axis is real.

And healing your digestion starts with helping your nervous system exhale.

Bloated? Like belly-swollen, pants-unbuttoned, “what even IS this” bloated?

It might not be your food.

It might be your colon!

So backed up that it’s sending bacteria the wrong direction... and your small intestine gets stuck with the consequences.

This is why just treating SIBO doesn’t work.

This is why cutting more foods still leaves you bloated.

This is why your gut needs a reset—not another elimination plan.

My Gut + Nervous System Reset that walks you through the entire digestive proces and teaches you how to activate your vagus nerve to get things moving again.

Your cravings are a language, not a problem!

And, the more you ignore it…the louder it gets.

Cravings show up when your body needs something.

Especially when other signals, like hunger, fullness, or calm, are harder to hear.

🍫 Crave chocolate before your period? That’s your body asking for magnesium..

When you learn to speak your body's language…everything starts to feel easier.

Low carb isn’t saving your blood sugar. It might be breaking it.

And if you’re a woman over 40, this one’s especially for you.

Going too low-carb can make insulin resistance worse. Your body needs them, that’s why your sugar cravings are so high.

Women’s bodies, especially in perimenopause, need a regular, steady source of healthy carbs to regulate hormones, produce progesterone, and feel safe enough to actually heal.

→ Tired after meals?
→ Constant sugar cravings?
→ Awake at 3am?
→ Wild perimenopause symptoms?

They’re all connected.

I’ve worked with thousands of clients and not one of them healed their blood sugar by cutting out carbs.

I have a Blood Sugar & Insulin Resistance Guide to help you do exactly that...while still eating carbs.

This is it 👇

Acid reflux? It’s probably not what you think.

If you feel the burn after eating…or food coming up, pressure in your chest, that annoying lump in your throat, it might not be too much acid...

👉 For most adults, it’s actually TOO LITTLE stomach acid.

Here are 3 causes of acid reflux I see over and over in my practice:

1️⃣ Low stomach acid — not high!

2️⃣ High histamine levels

3️⃣ Slow motility

And…when we fix the real root cause, reflux improves dramatically.

If you keep waking up between 2–4am wired, anxious, or weirdly alert...

…it’s probably not your stress levels. It’s probably your blood sugar.

Here’s what’s actually happening:

Your blood sugar dips too low while you sleep → your body panics → cortisol spikes → BAM, you’re awake.

This is one of the most common (and most overlooked) symptoms of blood sugar dysregulation.

I put together a free guide that walks you through:

→ The sneaky signs of insulin resistance
→ The truth about blood sugar crashes (and how to fix them)
→ What to eat (and when) to finally feel steady again
