🌿 Gut Health Isn’t Just About P**p (But Let’s Be Honest… That’s Part of It)
Feeling bloated?

Always tired after you eat?

Skin flaring up for no reason?

Your gut might be trying to tell you something—and it’s not just about digestion.
👇
Your gut is the control center for:
💭 Mood & mental clarity
🦠 Immunity
💤 Energy
🌿 Inflammation
🧘‍♀️ Stress response

When your gut’s out of balance, you might feel:
❌ Constipated or bloated
❌ Extra sensitive to foods
❌ Sluggish or foggy
❌ Just not yourself

The good news? Small changes make a BIG difference. Try this:
✔️ Eat more plant variety (aim for 20–30/week)
✔️ Walk after meals
✔️ Drink enough water (hello, pale yellow p*e!)
✔️ Actually chew your food
✔️ Calm your stress—even 5 deep breaths helps

💩 Constipation Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All

Constipation doesn’t just mean not going.
👉 For some, it’s the struggle to go.
👉 For others, it’s days between bowel movements.
👉 Or that annoying feeling like you’re never fully empty.

No matter how it shows up, here are a few easy ways to get things moving naturally:

✨ Hydrate – Aim for 10 glasses of water/day. Pale yellow p*e = on point.
✨ Fiber up – Try psyllium husk, two green kiwis (yes, with the skin!), or beans.
✨ Fruits & Veggies – Two fruits, three veggies = fiber + hydration.
✨ Walk it out – Morning walks wake up your gut.
✨ Peppermint tea – Calms the gut & gets things moving.
✨ Vitamin C – Start low, work up to 3,000–4,000 mg if needed.

Still stuck? 💊 Colace or Miralax may help. If constipation is frequent, talk to your doc—pelvic floor therapy could be a game-changer.

👉 Save this post for when your gut needs a gentle nudge.

🌿 Let’s Talk About the Gut—All of It.

Yes, even that part. What goes in your mouth… and what comes out the other end? It matters more than you think. 🙈

Your gut isn’t just about digestion—it’s one of the most powerful messengers in your body. When something’s off, your gut is often the first to speak up.

💩 Constipation? It’s more than just “not going”—it could be straining, hard stools, or feeling like you didn’t finish.
🚽 Diarrhea? Your gut could be reacting to stress, food sensitivities, or inflammation.
😰 Stress? It directly impacts digestion—thanks to the gut-brain connection.
🍽️ Food? It can either calm symptoms or fire them up.

In my practice, I use MRT testing to pinpoint food sensitivities and combine it with a personalized low FODMAP plan. This helps clients feel better faster—without all the guesswork.

🧡 This month, I’m sharing real talk, simple tips, and gut-friendly recipes so you can start feeling better from the inside out.

Because when your gut is happy, everything feels better.

🚫 Stuck in Elimination Mode?

If you’re following the low FODMAP diet and still in the elimination phase after 2–4 weeks… it’s time to move on.

The elimination phase is just a starting point—not a forever plan. Staying on it too long can lead to nutrient deficiencies and make things worse over time.

🌱 The goal? Calm the gut, then slowly reintroduce foods to find your tolerance level.

💡 Not ready to jump into reintroductions? Start by removing two major triggers:
🧄 Garlic
🧅 Onions
They’re hidden in everything and can be tough to digest for many with gut issues.

🍽️ Dining out? Don’t be afraid to speak up—ask for meals without these ingredients. Most places are happy to help if you ask kindly!

✅ Remember: healing your gut means less bloating, fewer headaches, more energy, and clearer thinking.

👉 Don’t let “elimination” become a way of life.

Things I’m Loving Right Now 💪🔥

I’ve always been active (skiing, trampolining, water sports—you name it), but lately I’ve fallen HARD for strength training.

Shoutout to 💥 Her free programs are no joke. I’ve completed Fuel and Iron, and I’m getting ready to dive into Endgame. Can’t wait!

In just 3 months, I’ve seen real muscle growth. 💪 My husband and I have even been hitting up local Goodwill’s for discount weights. 😂 My heaviest dumbbell is 30 lbs… but I think it’s time for a 35. Maybe even a 40. 👀

If you’re looking to get stronger, this is your sign. 🛑

🥄 Tiny Seeds, Big Gut Benefits
Yep—we're talking about chia seeds.

These little guys do WAY more than just make your smoothie look cool. They’re a gut health game-changer, and here’s why:

🌱 Why Your Gut Loves Chia Seeds:

💩 High in Fiber – Just 2 tablespoons = ~10g fiber

⚖️ Keep You Regular – Help bulk & soften stool

🦠 Prebiotic Power – Feed the good gut bugs

🔥 Anti-inflammatory – Thanks to plant-based omega-3s

How to Use Them:
✅ Mix into smoothies
✅ Stir into oats or yogurt
✅ Make chia pudding
✅ Sprinkle on toast or salads - can be soaked or dry (think crunch)

(Just remember to soak them first so they expand!)

✨ Small habit, big impact.

Add a spoonful to your day and your gut will thank you.

🐸 “Eat the frog” first thing in the morning... and your body (and brain) will thank you.

“If it’s your job to eat a frog, it’s best to do it first thing in the morning.”
—Mark Twain

Change is hard. Whether you're working on calming your gut, managing your blood sugar, or just building healthier habits—it’s easy to procrastinate.

Here’s the trick that works for my clients (and me!):
Do the hardest thing FIRST.

✨ One client adds veggies to her breakfast (omelet = win).

✨ Another tackles meal planning early Saturday AM, so the rest of her weekend is stress-free.

When you eat the frog early, it clears the mental clutter. 💭
You feel accomplished, in control, and less likely to fall off track later in the day.

💡 What’s your frog?
A walk? A supplement? Planning dinner?

👉 Whatever it is—try doing it first tomorrow morning.

Then come back and tell me how it felt 💬👇

📣 Feeling Bloated or Backed Up in the Morning?

Try these 7 natural ways to get your gut moving — straight from my Calming the Gut program! 👇

🫖 1. Ginger or Peppermint Tea
Warm tea soothes your gut and jumpstarts digestion.

☕ 2. Sip Coffee
Coffee contains chlorogenic acid, which stimulates the colon (yep, it really works for some people!).

🚶‍♀️ 3. Move Your Body
Walk before or after breakfast to help your intestines wake up.

🍽️ 4. Don’t Skip Breakfast
Real food (like a bran muffin or chia yogurt) signals your gut to get to work. Protein shakes often aren’t enough!

🌙 5. Psyllium Husk at Night
2–4 grams with water before bed helps with smoother mornings. 💧

🕰️ 6. Don’t Rush It
Give yourself 5 chill minutes. If nothing happens, no pressure—try again later.

⏰ 7. Go Between 6–10 AM
This is your body's natural p**p window. Set your alarm early enough to take advantage.

✨ Small shifts = big relief.
Save this for your morning routine 💩💕

Try the 1,2,3,4 Method—a simple meal-building trick created by dietitians to make life easier. 🧠💡

Here’s a sample breakfast parfait:
🥣 1 cup coconut yogurt

Is Your Gut Holding You Back from Living Your Life?

Imagine being excited for a big event—your best friend’s wedding, your child’s graduation, or that long-awaited vacation.
But instead of joy, you feel anxiety. What if the bloating, cramping, or unpredictable trips to the bathroom ruin the moment?

For many women, gut issues like bloating, diarrhea, and constipation aren’t just occasional annoyances—they’re daily struggles that steal energy, confidence, and presence in the moments that matter most.

In fact, about 80% of the women I work with experience these symptoms, often for so long that they’ve simply learned to live with them.

But here’s the good news: you don’t have to suffer in silence.

If you’re tired of masking the symptoms and want real relief—without relying on medication—simple, strategic changes to your diet can help you reclaim your health and your life.

That’s exactly why I created my 16-week Calming the Gut program—a step-by-step approach to reducing discomfort, improving digestion, and helping you feel your best.

Your gut should support your life, not control it. Let’s get you feeling good again!

The Secret to a Happy, Healthy Gut

Did you know that most Americans only get about half of the fiber they need? If you’ve been struggling with digestion, bloating, or sluggish energy, this one overlooked nutrient could be the missing piece to a healthier gut.

Fiber isn’t just about keeping things moving – It plays a huge role in gut health and overall wellbeing. Here’s why you need more of it:

• Supports Good Gut Bacteria – Fiber feeds the healthy bacteria in your gut, reducing inflammation and improving digestion.

• Prevents Blood Sugar Spikes –Unlike other carbs, fiber doesn’t break down into sugar, helping you avoid energy crashes and cravings.

• Keeps You Full Longer – Fiber adds bulk to your meals, keeping hunger at bay and supporting balanced digestion.

• Acts Like a Gut Cleanser – Fiber helps sweep out waste and toxins, promoting a clean, healthy digestive system.

So, how can you get more fiber? Become a label reader – choose the highest-fiber option when comparing brands. And for an easy boost, add chia seeds or flaxseeds to your smoothies!

Your gut does so much for you – give it the fiber it needs to thrive!
