The Truth: No. But for a lot of my patients, it’s been their “normal” for so long they call it a personality trait.
If you’ve spent years knowing the exact location of every clean restroom, or choosing your outfit based on how much you expect to swell by 3 PM—you haven’t “adapted.” You’ve just desensitized yourself to a massive energy leak.

Chronic GI distress isn’t just a stomach issue. It’s a systemic drain. If your body is stuck “firefighting” low-grade inflammation in your gut, it has to steal resources from somewhere else. It cannot prioritize:
⚡️ Brain Power
😴 Deep Sleep 
🔋 Steady Energy

Your gut talks directly to your brain’s energy centers. When your gut is struggling, your brain gets the “distress signals”—and you get the brain fog.

The Strategy: I hate restrictive diets. They’re a tool, not a destination. True restoration is about moving from “firefighting” to modulation. We want to address the microbial root cause so you can actually get back to eating a full range of foods and fueling your life.

Stop settling for “fine.” High-level output requires a high-level foundation.

Ready to stop living with the bloat and reclaim your energy? Let’s get to work.

Losing weight for the sake of losing weight is fine. Losing weight because you know the journey will also get you more energy to spend with your dogs and in nature (aka. the things that TRULY make you happy) is a whole different mindset.

When feeling unwell people often lose their identity as they slowly stop doing the things that used to bring them joy. The desire to reclaim that identity or redefine that identity if they’re looking for a better one can be such a strong foundation for the behaviour change needed to be successful.

It’s not that you need tons of hobbies to be happy or that you can’t have varied interests and still not feel amazing. These are just pieces to keep in mind when you decide to take a step forward. Why are you really doing it?

Speaking with the athletes about mood, energy and food was the perfect way to fill my cup at the end of last week.

I was so impressed by how engaged and reflective the student-athletes were. I’d like to think I was like this back in my basketball days but l’m not so sure.

Good luck to all the students with their exams!

High effort exercise reduces blood flow to the digestive tract to preserve blood flow to active organs. This along with the mechanical forces and dehydration during exercise put your gut in a vulnerable position. Normally, this is only short term and resolves as we recovery from our activity. With inadequate recovery whether that’s not allowing enough rest time, not prioritizing sleep or eating a poor quality diet that doesn’t meet your individual needs, your digestive system can lose its integrity and cause a host of digestive issues and even affect energy levels, mood and cognition.

✅ Prioritize rest and recovery between workouts and reduce the amount you are training temporarily to allow your body to better adapt to the demands
✅hydrate hydrate hydrate
✅Work with a professional to figure out a targeted nutrition plan to meet your personal needs as a high performer
🧠Finally, seek the help of a professional to address your gut health. This might involve a temporary elimination of certain foods, supplements and functional foods to support your digestion and proper guidance on how to return to a high level of activity without it overburdening your digestive tract

Someone once told me that an easy way to see if a crappy brand is masking a rancid fishy smell with lots of citrus is by leaving an open capsule of fish oil on the counter. As it sits over the next 1/2-1 hour if the fishy smell starts to take over then you know.

I’ve never tried this nor can I say it’s 100% true but interesting none the less.

Is this not wild?!

How we take care of those little bacteria in our guts represents how we take care of our entire selves.

There are so many ways we can hinder or harm them and often times we don’t even realize. If you want to work on your gut or see if it’s possible a factor in your health concerns seek out someone that has the tools to properly assess.

Btw, it’s beyond just starting a probiotic.
