Digestive & Gut Health Expert. I teach women how to eliminate digestive pain, bloating and stress.

If you’re feeling trapped in your own body struggling with digestive issues, mood swings, fatigue, insomnia, stress and weight gain, there’s no need to sweep it under the rug or settle for short-term solutions. Your hormones play a huge role in your overall wellness, and I’m here to help you reclaim your body and restore your equilibrium. As someone who’s been in your shoes and come out stronger on the other side, I wholly understand the impact that simple lifestyle changes can make. Get in touch and let’s start taking steps toward a happier, healthier you.

📌If your gut feels stuck, sluggish, or reactive… it might not be food.

It might be minerals.👀

Most gut protocols focus on killing things: yeast, bacteria, parasites.

🤔But what if your gut isn’t overloaded… it’s under-resourced?

Here are 5 minerals I look for in almost every gut-healing case:

📌Magnesium → supports motility, calms the nervous system, and keeps your bowels moving without harsh laxatives.

📌Sodium → essential for adrenal function and electrolyte balance, especially when you’re inflamed or under-eating. Low sodium = low gut resilience.

📌Potassium → critical for peristalsis (the wave-like motion that moves food through your GI tract). Most people aren’t even close to getting enough.

📌Zinc → your gut lining needs this to repair and regenerate. Also supports stomach acid and enzyme function.

📌Selenium → a powerful anti-inflammatory that supports immune regulation in the gut and helps calm autoimmunity.

Minerals aren’t trendy—but they’re foundational.

How many of these are you getting enough of?

If gut protocols haven’t worked and you’re ready to take a different approach, let’s talk. Book a free discovery call via this link: https://nourishwholeself.practicebetter.io/ #/5de28a7f2a832617509c1c30/bookings?s=63715f0f9e7c58f05ef01278

Still tired… even though your labs say your thyroid is “normal”?🙋🏻

🦋Your thyroid might not be broken.

It might be reacting to the chaos underneath.

Start with the gut. The rest follows.

❌You don’t need bloating to have gut issues.

Let’s get that out of the way first.🎈

Most people assume if they’re pooping daily and not visibly bloated, their gut is “fine.”

But gut inflammation can be silent.

And instead of digestive symptoms, it hijacks everything else.

Here are some of the red flags I see all the time in practice:
🚩Waking up at 3AM and can’t fall back asleep
🚩Skin flares (rashes, acne, flushing) that don’t respond to topicals
🚩Brain fog and the “what was I saying again?” moments
🚩Cravings that hit hard and fast—even when you’re full
🚩Anxiety, especially after meals
🚩 Light and sound sensitivity that seems random
🚩Itchy ears or throat with no clear allergy
🚩Hormonal chaos: irregular cycles, PMS, intense mood shifts
🚩Fatigue after eating (even with a healthy meal)
🚩Mood swings with no obvious trigger

Most of these symptoms aren’t about your food.

They’re about your gut terrain.

If your body feels “off” and no one can explain it—this is the place to start.

How many of these symptoms do you have? Think your gut is “fine” but still feel off? Comment “YES” if any of these symptoms sound familiar.

Your 9 p.m. chocolate hunt isn’t just a sweet tooth talking—it’s a biochemical flare-gun.

Why cocoa suddenly feels non-negotiable...

🍫Magnesium SOS ~ Cocoa is one of nature’s densest magnesium sources; when muscles twitch, lids flutter, or sleep feels shallow, your brain votes “chocolate” to top up the tank.�

🍫Hormone plot twist ~ Estrogen dips before your period (or mid-cycle during ovulation) nudge serotonin and dopamine lower—cue cravings for cocoa’s mood-lifting theobromine and tryptophan.�

🍫Stress fuel leak ~ Cortisol spends magnesium and B-vitamins like petty cash; chocolate offers both, plus a dash of calming anandamide—the “bliss” compound that hushes anxious circuitry.�

🍫Blood-sugar bailout ~ Skip protein at lunch and glucose tanks by evening; the brain grabs fast carbs plus fat (hello, chocolate) to steady the ship.�

🍫Serotonin shortcut ~ Sugar spikes insulin, which clears competing amino acids so tryptophan can cross the blood-brain barrier and boost serotonin—your built-in mood stabilizer.�

🔑Key Takeaway:
Pair two squares of 70 % (or darker) dark chocolate with a handful of pumpkin seeds or a scoop of nut butter. The protein and minerals smooth the glucose curve and stretch the bliss effect without inviting a crash an hour later.

🧴Single-use plastics don’t just clog oceans—they gum up your biology too. BPA, phthalates, and micro-shreds from that “convenient” bottle sneak past gut and liver defenses, whispering false signals to hormones, sparking immune alarms, and nudging inflammation higher with every sip, squeeze, or microwave reheat.

Here’s the real plot twist
➡︎Plastics aren’t passive. Many act like hormone impostors, sliding into estrogen and thyroid receptors and throwing metabolic cues off-kilter.�
➡︎Microplastics act as tiny taxis for pesticides and heavy metals, delivering irritants straight to your cellular doorstep.�
➡︎The burden is cumulative: your morning smoothie bottle, salad wrap at lunch, and take-out fork at dinner team up, nudging CRP and histamine just a bit higher each day until “random” bloating, PMS, or brain fog feels normal.�

A 30-day micro-mission
✅Pick one swap from the infographic and make it stick. A single habit change—say, trading plastic wrap for beeswax sheets—cuts exposure by thousands of particles a week.
✅Stack a second swap next week, and by the holidays, your hormones, gut lining, and mitochondria will be humming a noticeably cooler tune.

Plastic-free isn’t about perfection; it’s about lowering the constant chemical chatter so your body can get back to baseline.

💪Ever notice how on Monday, you’re a productivity machine?

😶🌫️Tuesday, you’re a puddle of brain fog.

🔍And by Wednesday, you’re googling “Why am I like this?”

That whiplash isn’t moodiness—it’s inflammation running a covert mind-body prank.

How the gaslighting works
🔥Cytokine switch-up Tiny immune messengers cross the blood-brain barrier, turning dopamine down one day (hello, zero motivation) and serotonin down the next (cue anxiety).

🔥Blood-sugar plot twist: Every spike-and-crash flips the NF-κB switch, so your focus, cravings, and energy swing with your glucose curve.

🔥Mitochondrial mutiny Inflammation clogs the cell’s power plants; when ATP output drops, even climbing the stairs feels like a gym session.

🔥Hormone static Cortisol and thyroid signals get garbled, so you wake wired at 3 AM, then slog through daylight like you’re swimming in syrup.

Bottom line: it’s not “just in your head”—it’s in your immune system, your gut wall, and every cell’s battery. Calm the chemical chatter, and the daily identity crisis disappears.

You’re eating clean. You’ve swapped the takeout for salads, started checking labels, and maybe even added a supplement or two. But still, by mid-afternoon, your stomach feels tight and uncomfortable, like you’re carrying something your body doesn’t know what to do with.

That kind of bloating isn’t just frustrating. It’s disorienting. Especially when you feel like you’re doing everything “right.”

Here’s what I want you to know: sometimes, it’s not about how healthy a food is. It’s about whether your body can actually digest it right now. When your gut is already sensitive or inflamed, even the good stuff like raw vegetables, cold smoothies, or high-fiber snacks can be more than it can handle.

I’ve sat with so many women who feel defeated by this. They show up exhausted and confused, wondering why their body seems to resist their best efforts. They’ve cut back, cleaned up, skipped sugar, and done the detoxes. Still, the bloating lingers.

It’s not because they’re doing something wrong. It’s because they’re trying to force a stressed system to perform like it’s at full strength.

So what actually helps? Gentler food. Food that meets your system where it is—not where you think it should be.

Try warming things up. Steam your veggies instead of eating them raw. Cook your greens instead of blending them. Swap garlic and onions for their infused oil versions, which still add flavor but are easier on digestion. Choose soft proteins, such as eggs or white fish. Go for simple grains like well-cooked rice or oats. Drink warm water with meals instead of cold.

Start there. With more curiosity than control. More kindness than rules.

You’ve swapped bread for kale bowls, upgraded to extra-virgin olive oil, and sprinkled turmeric on everything short of your toothbrush—yet the morning puffiness, wired-then-tired crashes, and mystery joint aches keep hanging around.

Here’s the plot twist most “anti-inflammatory” meal plans miss: food is only the first domino in a chain reaction that starts long before the fork hits your lips.

Why the Same Menu Lands Differently in Every Body:

📌Timing Turbulence – A flawless plate at 10 p.m. forces your liver to work the night shift instead of deep-cleaning; inflammation smolders while you sleep.�
📌Tolerance Threshold – Raw spinach is a phytonutrient hero—unless oxalates sandpaper an already leaky gut, turning hero into heckler.�
📌State of the System – Eat salmon while doom-scrolling and fight-or-flight shunts blood away from digestion; even omega-3s can’t douse a cortisol bonfire.�
📌Bio-Individual Wiring – One person’s garlic-and-almond power bowl is another person’s histamine horror show; genes, microbes, and stress history decide the verdict.�

The Bigger Picture Your Cells Care About:

➡︎Nerve tone—can the vagus flip you into rest-and-digest before the first bite?
➡︎Gut-wall integrity—does that turmeric even cross the border?
➡︎Phase-II detox bandwidth—can the liver ship out yesterday’s debris before today’s meal arrives?
➡︎Mitochondrial charge—enough ATP to rebuild, or just enough to scroll for answers?
➡︎Blood-sugar glide path—smooth sailing or a roller coaster that flips on NF-κB every three hours?

Bottom line: matching meals to your circuitry cools the flame faster than any universal “avoid list.” The goal isn’t more restriction—it’s precision, so food stops feeling like a chemistry experiment and starts feeling like fuel.

If your digestion feels off and nothing seems to stick, no matter how clean your diet is or how many supplements you try, look at how your day begins.

Here are five gut-supportive shifts most people overlook:

1. Stop eating late at night, not just for digestion, but for how your gut works the next morning.
Your gut cells follow a rhythm. If they’re still working at midnight, they’re less responsive to cues in the morning. This can lead to slower motility, constipation, and waking up feeling bloated.

Try creating a 12-hour window between your last bite and your first meal the next day to give your body time to rest and recover.

2. Before eating, smell your food. Literally.
Your body starts releasing digestive enzymes before you take the first bite. If your senses are engaged, the entire system prepares more effectively. Smelling your food before eating can help your body prepare, especially if you usually feel heavy or bloated after meals.

This is called the cephalic phase of digestion, and most people skip it entirely.

3. Get warm from the inside.
Cold smoothies, icy coffee, raw veggies first thing in the morning -- these can all slow down digestion in people who already feel sluggish.

Try starting your day with something warm, such as broth, ginger tea, warm lemon water, or a simple cooked breakfast. Warmth relaxes the GI tract and improves flow.

4. Stimulate your vagus nerve on purpose.
Your digestion doesn’t run on willpower. It runs on your parasympathetic nervous system. If your body still thinks it’s “on alert” from yesterday, it won’t digest well, no matter what you eat.

Try humming, gargling, or even splashing your face with cold water before breakfast. These small physical signals tell your body it’s safe to rest and digest.

5. Don’t eat until you’re calm. Not just seated. Calm.
If you’re scrolling, rushing, or mentally already at work, your gut isn’t fully online yet. Wait until you feel even 10% more grounded. Your body digests food better when you’re actually present for it.

My Story

My name is Janice Marto, proud owner of Nourish Whole Self. I started my coaching practice to help women reclaim their health, feel vibrant again, kick toxicity to the curb, and find hormonal balance from the inside out naturally. To date, I have helped hundreds of clients lose weight, detox their bodies, and feel totally ready to embrace life again. I am head-over-heels in crazy love with what I do. The transformation clients see when they finally learn to cleanse their bodies, treat themselves with love, and balance themselves their own way warms my heart to no end. During my health journey, I suffered from debilitating migraines, gut issues, adrenal fatigue, thyroid dysfunction, liver issues, pituitary brain tumor, and hormonal imbalances. I bought every health book out there and spent hours researching the right foods for my body. What I discovered is that there IS no "right" food! We are all different and have unique nutritional needs. Now I am a Certified Health Coach and Functional Medicine Practitioner, educated at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, The School of Applied Function Medicine and the Functional Nutrition Alliance. I help people who suffer from the same things that I did and teach them what to eat & how to live to have more energy every day. I help them conquer digestive distress, hormonal imbalances, insomnia, stress and more.
