Gosh there are SO many things I wish people knew about Gastroparesis, but I feel like these 3 are pretty important.

- Most people can't quite understand what it is we go through or have, so they just equate it to a bad stomachache.... it's much more than that.

- Even doctors have told patients it's just all in their head and given them meds for that, when really, they are just too lazy to try to do more.

- And no, it's not a great way to lose weight. It's incredibly unhealthy, trust me, I know. And for some, they gain weight, so that doesn't even apply.

If you could pick 3 things for people to know about Gastroparesis, what would you say?

“You don’t look sick”
“I wish I could be on that diet and lose all that weight”
“Oh I get it, I get stomachaches all the time”

I could go on, but I won’t.
What are some of the dumbest things people have said to you about your Gastroparesis?

There are 3 things I can ALWAYS do to help calm my tummy when it’s upset.
1. Staying hydrated. I start with warm lemon water to soothe and then continue to drink my lemon water the rest of the day.
2. A cup of warm bone broth always helps to settle it!
3. Get outside & move! A walk, some stretching or even a workout outside will do the trick.
What are some things you do when your Gastroparesis is flaring & you need to immediately get some relief?

It's wild, the little things we miss when we are in the thick of our Gastroparesis.
One of my clients a few years back had this goal to just be able to eat raw carrots again without pain and sickness.

Success. ✅
When just chatting on an email, she sent me this and it's stuck with me all this time, because it's crazy to me that we just want something so simple. So normal.
Something that others wouldn't even think twice about grabbing a carrot and eating it.
🥕
And as I was at a baby shower for a friend yesterday and grabbed a carrot to eat, I was instantly reminded of this email she sent me and how it wasn't even a thought for me anymore, either.

It's possible for me, for her and for you. Whatever your goal is, I can get you there.

If you could just be able to eat ONE thing again without pain/nausea/sickness what would it be? Let me know in the comments below!

It’s so important to remind yourself of this often.
- You’re not your symptoms
- You’re not just Gastroparesis
Yes, you have it. Yes, you have the symptoms all of the time. But you are not them. It’s something you have.

Sometimes, it can feel all-consuming, but it doesn’t have to be. I have a free guide that can help you shed that identity & get it all under control!

Comment HOPE and I’ll send you the link!

You could be doing "all the right things" for your Gastroparesis, but you still are staying stuck and staying sick and it's making you crazy.
🫨
You're not crazy, you just have some hidden triggers.
Read more about some of the most common ones I see with my clients in today's blog post.

When you feel like you've done everything for your Gastroparesis, you're not crazy, you have hidden triggers.

"Maybe I'll never be normal again"

Is that something you think about yourself often?
That you'll never live normally again?
Or that you'll never eat normally again?

​I get it. I used to think that way and so do 100% of my clients.
And then they go through the Thrive Program and everything changes.

​No more food fear. No more sickness.
No more medications. No more guessing and hoping for the best.

​But, I won't tell you about it, I will let someone that was in your shoes tell you.
Today, I would like for you to read Nichole's story and see what she was going through.

She is one who got Gastroparesis after having COVID, which is super common.
Read her story below.

The first thing everyone looks up or asks when trying to tackle this Gastroparesis thing is.....

Diet.

And yea, that makes sense, but it's not quite the right piece.

It's also not the first thing I tackle with clients.

What is the missing piece?
Nerve Toning.

You can read a bit more about nerve toning on the blog.
But it doesn't really matter what you eat, if your brain and gut aren't connecting to send each other messages.

We have to work on that first, and we do that by a technique I like to call nerve toning.
We are going to stimulate the Vagus nerve to get it all moving.

So, here's an easy one for you to try right now!

Humming!

Yup, that simple.
Try humming for 3 minutes before a meal or while you are making the meal.
It's not going to be some magical cure-all, but it will start waking that nerve up!
This is the most important piece.
🙌
I provide my clients with 6-8 different nerve toning techniques when we work together.

But if you would like to learn another one, PLUS get some ideas on diet, then my 15-day Extended Guide is the perfect place to start linked below.

So, what do you say?
Will you try humming?
I'd love to know!
