By popular demand, I'm posting last week's training and info call: "Using Your Body to Relieve Gut Tension".... Enjoy!

10/26/2022

I used to think that all I needed to be healthy was organic food and exercise.

My university level nutrition studies taught me that as long as I avoided refined sugar and starches, I was good to go! But I was unknowingly sinking under the weight of tons of misguided information.

It wasn’t until I started studying holistic nutrition, traditional healing, and functional medicine that I uncovered VITAL healing answers for chronic stress and an overwhelmed gut.

Do any of these sound familiar?

❇️confusing and frustrating fatigue
❇️heartburn, belching & bloating
❇️constipation
❇️acne and/or eczema
❇️brain fog, anxiety & depression

THE ANSWER → dysbiosis (microbial imbalance) and inflammation of the gut

Did you know that your gut has its own nervous system? It gets information from your brain through the vagus nerve, and studies of the gut and nervous system has revealed that we MUST focus on 2 critical areas:

❇️GI/microbiome health
❇️nervous system balance

Restoring one without the other is like walking with only one shoe! We need both!

Join me this Friday where I’ll be talking about how you can use your body to release gut tension and relax into your daily food experiences without fear of post-meal gas, bloating, or belching.

You’ll also uncover possible root causes of your digestive, mood, and energy issues for long-term results!

Studies show that BASIL helps deal with anxiety and depression while stimulating neurotransmitters that control energy and happiness-inducing hormones.

Basil benefits your digestive and nervous system while ensuring that you have optimal digestion and a proper pH balance in your body.

But basil should not be your only BFF!

All herbs and greens are loaded with powerful antioxidants, antimicrobials and detox friendly compounds!!!

And adding polyphenol rich extra virgin olive oil and garlic to your greens powerfully support your all your internals!!

Heart, brain, nervous system + more for a better energy level and less funky mood.

Here’s a simple way you can make ANY creative herbal sauce you dream of.

Just use what you have on hand and I promise you…. It will be divine!

Pesto/Salsa Verde/Green Sauce:

Basic ratio:
* 1 part: 2 parts (nuts or seeds : extra virgin olive oil)
* 2 parts : 8 parts (grated cheese: leaves, herbs or a combo)
* Plus garlic, lemon, and salt and pepper to taste…..

* First, start with a few cloves of garlic in a food processor, or mortar & pestle
* Throw in 2 packed cups of fresh leaves or herbs. ...
* Add in 1/2 cup of oil. Slowly!!
* Finish with 1/2 cheese or less (if using), a couple of squeezes of lemon and generous salt and pepper TO TASTE!

How do you take YOUR green sauces?

I love adding:
💚 green olives
💚 chilies
💚 yuzu

I love using:
💚cilantro
💚spinach plus basil for enhanced green!
💚nettles when in season

😮Having counseled upwards of a least a thousand clients over the last 15 + years one thing is for sure.

💯They all want to do it right - some more than others - but for sure the former.

😂What breaks my heart is the individual or head of the family kitchen getting excited about eating better only to be shut down by a partner, spouse or kids.

😢They end up full of resentment and throw their arms in the air at their misguided attempts - never to try again!

🎉Another common avitar is the excited eater that changes practically EVERYTHING in their life - Goes on a special diet, cuts out coffee and alcohol, starts running and gets a personal trainer.
All great! But, they soon realize that it might have been too much change at one time and not sustainable.

So, THEY stop.

All of these people gave it their best, yet were left with a part of themselves feeling discouraged and sometimes disgruntled.

Has this happened to you?

I hope you can see by this little list I made - while getting toenails polished this afternoon - you just gotta make a "better" choice...

If you do the right side of the column - wonderful.

If you do the left - good for you - you peeked and that means you're probably wanting to do better tomorrow.

Enjoy your life. Don't judge the person ahead of you in the supermarket check out lane.

I SEE YOU!!!

As I do my research and reading this evening, I came across this lovely quote by Burmese Meditation Teacher - Sayadaw U. Pandita.

“We mistake excitement of the mind for happiness”…

Oooooh, that’s a stinger!!

Something to keep in mind as we flip through our Twitter, IG, Facebook feeds looking for a new Netflix series while simultaneously eating popcorn.

You don’t have to fake being happy all the time, because it is simply NOT possible.

Those who seem like life is perfect and JOYFUL for them all the time?

Trust me, there’s more to their story.

Life is much easier (and healthier) when you can except that there will be ups and downs to the show….

And when you are ready.
