Is your “healing” bone broth making things worse?👀

If you feel bloated, wired, or anxious after sipping your gut-healing elixir… it’s not in your head.

Here’s what might be happening:

🥣 Bone broth is high in histamines
Especially if it’s simmered for long periods or stored in the fridge for a few days.
If your DAO enzymes (which break down histamines) are depleted — you’ll feel it. Headaches, bloat, anxiety, flushing.

💥 It’s also rich in glutamate
Which is great for healing if your nervous system can regulate it.
But in a leaky or inflamed gut terrain, glutamate can act as an excitotoxin — making you feel wired but exhausted.

🌱 And if your gut wall is still compromised?
Even the most nutrient-dense broth can trigger reactivity.
Because your terrain isn’t ready for it yet.

So what can you do?
→ Try shorter-simmered broth (under 4 hours)
→ Use fresh, not leftover broth
→ Support your DAO pathway (vitamin C, B6, magnesium, copper)
→ Work on sealing the gut wall before pushing dense healing foods

Because the right remedy at the wrong time = a flare.

If “healing foods” are making your symptoms worse, it’s time to look at your terrain. Tap this link to book a discovery call: https://nourishwholeself.practicebetter.io/ #/5de28a7f2a832617509c1c30/bookings?s=63715f0f9e7c58f05ef01278

🆘Most gut protocols sound like this:

➡︎ Kill the bugs. ➡︎ Cut the food. ➡︎ Take the supplements.

And sure—you feel better… for a while.

But then symptoms creep back in. You flare after reintroducing one thing.

🔄So you do it all again.

Stricter. Longer. More expensive.😱

❌That’s not healing. That’s looping.❌

Here’s what most gut protocols miss:

They’re designed to suppress symptoms, not change the terrain that created them.

If your gut’s inflamed, your liver’s overloaded, your nervous system is dysregulated, and your microbiome is starving—no amount of antimicrobial herbs will fix that.

Real gut repair starts with:
✅Reading the pattern, not chasing symptoms
✅Supporting the gut–liver axis
✅Calming immune hyper-reactivity
✅Rebuilding resilience and tolerance
✅And creating an internal environment that no longer needs to flare

If you’re still stuck in cycles, it’s not because you’re doing it wrong.

It’s because you’re working with the wrong model.

You’ve probably heard that fiber feeds your gut bacteria.🥕

True — but it’s only half the story.

The real MVPs? Polyphenols.

These are plant compounds that your gut bugs ferment into postbiotics — like butyrate — that directly repair your gut lining, lower inflammation, and improve insulin sensitivity.

What’s wild?

Most people aren’t eating nearly enough of them.

And they’re way more gut-specific than your green smoothie.

Here are 5 of my go-to polyphenol-rich foods for gut repair:
🫐Blueberries: rich in anthocyanins that support tight junctions and reduce oxidative stress
🌸Hibiscus tea: high in flavonoids that modulate gut-driven inflammation and blood sugar spikes
🌿Rosemary: contains rosmarinic acid — antimicrobial against overgrowths, yet gut-lining protective
🍫Cacao: packed with flavanols that increase microbial diversity and reduce permeability
🔴 Pomegranate: feeds Akkermansia, one of the most important gut-protective bacteria

These don’t just “support wellness.”

They actively change your microbiome.

Save this for your next grocery run — your gut bugs will thank you.

If your gut symptoms won’t budge—even with a perfect diet—it might be time to map your microbiome. Book a root-cause discovery call through this link: https://nourishwholeself.practicebetter.io/ #/5de28a7f2a832617509c1c30/bookings?s=63715f0f9e7c58f05ef01278

⏰If you’re waking up at 3AM on the dot — your body’s not broken. It’s compensating.

Here’s what’s really happening inside the loop:

↪️Gut dysfunction impairs nutrient absorption — especially B vitamins, magnesium, and amino acids that regulate cortisol and glucose. It also increases intestinal permeability, which places more stress on the liver.�

↪️Blood sugar regulation becomes unstable — particularly if your dinner lacked protein, or you’re dealing with underlying insulin resistance. As blood glucose drops during the night, your body needs stored reserves to keep your brain fueled.�

↪️Cortisol spikes as a backup system. The adrenal glands release cortisol to raise blood sugar — but that surge also increases alertness, often jolting you awake between 2–4AM. It’s not anxiety. It’s physiology.�

↪️The liver is overloaded. During the night, your liver is responsible for glycogen breakdown, hormone metabolism, and detoxification. If it’s congested or undernourished, it struggles to do all three — and the system gets noisy.�
The result?

A 3AM wake-up call your labs can’t explain.

This is not a “sleep problem.”

It’s a terrain problem. And no amount of magnesium, blue-light glasses, or sleep hygiene will fix it until you zoom out.

Start with:
➡️Stabilizing blood sugar with protein-forward meals

➡️Supporting phase 1 and 2 liver detox (hint: it’s not a juice cleanse)

➡️Rebuilding your gut-liver axis with nutrients, motility, and nervous system tools

Because if your body’s waking you up — it’s not trying to sabotage you.

It’s trying to adapt.

If sleep hacks aren’t working, it’s time to zoom out. Book a discovery call through this link to map your root cause: https://nourishwholeself.practicebetter.io/ #/5de28a7f2a832617509c1c30/bookings?s=63715f0f9e7c58f05ef01278

Here's to a healthy holiday season!

Me, sitting in a pile of symptoms like:

🚨Daily bloating
🚨Random sugar cravings at 3PM
🚨Waking up at 3AM with my heart racing
🚨Skin flares, brain fog, and a cycle that makes zero sense

But because my p**p looks “normal” and my labs came back “fine,” I’m like:

This is fine. Totally normal.

Here’s the truth:

Your gut can be inflamed without digestive symptoms.

Your cortisol can spike without showing up on a standard panel.

And your hormones will absolutely spiral if your gut terrain is dysregulated.

You don’t need a new diet.

You need someone who can actually read the pattern.

Because “fine” isn’t a diagnosis.

❌And feeling like garbage isn’t normal — it’s just common.

If your body is throwing red flags and no one’s connecting the dots, book a root-cause discovery call with me through this link: https://nourishwholeself.practicebetter.io/ #/5de28a7f2a832617509c1c30/bookings?s=63715f0f9e7c58f05ef01278

Let’s map the pattern together.

11/18/2025

📌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?

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 p**ping 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.

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.
