If you're struggling with unpredictable symptoms that make it hard to live life to the fullest ..
1️⃣ you are NOT alone
2️⃣ there is a way out

Every gut issue + symptom has a story behind it, and most of the time, it’s not the one you’ve been told.

If your symptoms come and go, flare during stressful seasons, or seem to show up “out of nowhere,” this isn’t random, and it’s NOT because you’re doing something wrong 🫶🏻

A lot of people don’t realize their nervous system is dysregulated because it doesn’t always feel like stress.

It sneaks up quietly, through poor sleep, constant mental noise, feeling “on” all the time, or just pushing through another day ⚡️

When that’s happening and there’s internal chaos in the gut, the body loses resilience.

Most chronic gut issues come down to two root causes working together 👇🏻

1️⃣ Internal imbalances �Inflammation, poor digestion, bacterial or yeast overgrowths, blood sugar instability — all of this creates stress inside the body, even if your life doesn’t feel particularly stressful.

2️⃣ Nervous system dysregulation �Spending too much time in fight-or-flight instead of rest-and-digest makes it harder to digest food, sleep deeply, and tolerate stress or foods you once handled just fine.

When these two overlap,
✖️Foods that once felt fine start causing reactions.�✖️Sleep gets lighter 😴�✖️Stress feels heavier.�✖️Everything feels more sensitive.

Healing happens when we support the body from both directions restoring the internal environment 🌿 while helping the nervous system feel safe enough to shift out of survival mode 🤍

Understanding this changes how you treat your body.
�And it’s often the first step toward symptoms calming down symptoms for good ✨

IT’S WEDDING MONTH 🥹✨💞

I can’t believe January is already over, it truly flew by.
(And yes… I definitely showed up here on social much less than planned 😅)

January ended up being the slow down to speed up season I didn’t know I needed.

This month, I: ✨ Gave my nervous system a break and got out of fight or flight more than I even realized I needed ✨ Was super consistent with my workouts and nutrition without extremes or tons of pressure around it and it felt AMAZING.  ✨ Had so much fun coaching my clients, while my business shifted and grew quietly behind the scenes ✨ Deepened relationships with my closest friends and with my fiancé ✨ Planned our wedding and let myself slow down enough to actually enjoy the process

I’m heading into February feeling incredibly grateful, grounded, excited, and clear & I can’t wait to share more of this season with you! 💃

Thank you for being here and letting me bring you along for the ride 🫶🏻

Before you buy another laxative for constipation… try this first 👇🏻�
What if your digestion doesn’t need more restriction, it just needs support?

Constipation is a sign that something's off, a clue that your digestion (and often other systems, too) are downregulated and not getting the support they need.
�So before you cut out more foods or waste money on quick fixes that don’t last, here’s what I’d start with 👇🏻
✔️ Space your meals out every 4–5 hours to allow your migrating motor complex (your gut’s cleanup crew) to do its job�✔️ Sit in the right position using a squatty potty when you p**p (trust me, this makes a difference 🚽)�✔️ Use gentle tools like magnesium glycinate, ginger tea, or dandelion root for motility + bile flow�✔️ Stimulate your vagus nerve with humming, gargling, singing, or deep breathing to help your nervous system reconnect with digestion
✔️ Do things that make your body feel SAFE often (get enough sleep, stretch, do yoga, dance, take a warm bath)

And from there?
�If you’re still stuck, we dig deeper.�Because if your gut needs more than tea and magnesium, that doesn’t mean you’re broken, it just means there’s a root cause that hasn’t been addressed yet 🔎

💩 Save this for the next time your digestion feels sluggish

Ashley came to me after 4 years of being dismissed by GI doctors.
 Her life was completely dictated by her digestion: ⚠️ Nausea, urgency, vomiting, and 10+ bathroom trips a day ⚠️ Zero appetite but always bloated ⚠️ Brain fog, low energy, and growing anxiety around food

And the worst part? 
Every time she asked for help, she was told to “manage it.” ❌To take the meds. ❌To “wait and see.” ❌To stop asking so many questions.

Instead of guessing, we ran a GI-MAP stool test — and it explained everything.
🔬 Antibiotic-resistant H. pylori 🔬 Severe dysbiosis 🔬 Multiple overgrowths linked to sulfur gas, inflammation, and gut lining damage

Together, we followed a natural, strategic protocol (targeted nutrition + antimicrobials + functional gut support)…

And now? 👏🏻She eats out without fear. 👏🏻She travels without planning her route around bathrooms.
👏🏻She doesn’t even think about her digestion anymore, because her body finally feels like hers again👏🏻

This is the kind of healing that happens when we stop managing symptoms and start addressing what’s driving them.

No, it didn’t happen overnight. 
But after 6 months of support, clarity, and root-cause work, her doctor confirmed: ❌ No H. pylori ❌ No signs of inflammation ✅ No more meds ✅ And no more being dismissed.

If you’re in the same boat… Feeling exhausted, reactive, and stuck in a cycle of supplements, food fear, or constant gut symptoms,
🧪 You don’t need more ‘watch and wait’. You need answers.

You’re not crazy for still feeling like something is wrong.
 You just haven’t had the right eyes on your case yet. 🤍

At the start of 2016, I was thriving.

✔️ I started intentionally resistance training.
✔️ Did my first actual deficit.
✔️ Hit my goal weight.
✔️ Felt confident in my body for the first time… maybe ever.

But somehow, that still wasn’t enough.

Because that confidence quickly turned into obsession.
I was proud of being “disciplined”
Tracking every bite.
Going to the gym at 5am (even after nights out).
Skipping social events because I was scared of the calories.

Telling myself:
❌“I don’t like cheese anyway.”
❌“I have to train every day or I’ll lose progress.”
❌“Fat makes you fat.”
🙃

Behind the scenes?
➡️ I was restricting all day, then binging alone in my room at night.
➡️ Living on caffeine + adrenaline.
➡️ Sleeping 4-5 hours a night.
➡️ Feeling anxious, wired, and on the edge of burnout every single day.

So if I could sit with that girl now, I’d tell her this 👇🏻

So if I could sit with that girl now, I’d tell her this 👇🏻
1️⃣ You didn’t regain the weight because your deficit “wasn’t low enough”, you regained because you under-ate for so long, your metabolism downregulated, and every time you ate more on the weekend, your body held onto it 😵‍💫 You weren’t broken, you were in survival mode.

2️⃣ You’re not sleeping because you’re wired.
500+ mg caffeine.
1100 calories.
Hyper-scheduled days.
That’s not discipline, that’s depletion.

3️⃣ Rest days are growth days.
You weren’t building muscle because your body never had a chance to recover… or the fuel to do it.

4️⃣ That constant anxiety? It’s not a normal part of being a high performing human.
It’s a nervous system in overdrive from under-sleeping, under-eating, and overstimulating your body every single day.

5️⃣ You can want to change your body and do it in a way that supports your health, but it has to be in seasons.
You cannot cut + build at the same time.
You cannot live in a deficit forever.
And your worth is not defined by how few calories you eat.

So if you’re in your “2017 era” right now,
I see you. I’ve been you.

And there is a path to achieving a body you feel confident and comfortable in that doesn’t take over your whole life 🫶🏻

2016 taught me how to put myself out there + the power of finding your people.
 It’s when I felt safe enough to step up, take the lead, and stop playing small with my goals.

So this is your reminder: ✨ Surrounding yourself with the right people is the healthiest thing you can do.
 Whether it’s a friend, a coach, a group, or an entire community…

Sometimes it only takes one season of being surrounded by the right people to change your entire life trajectory.

If you’ve been craving that kind of support, you know where to find me 💕

 It’s the first step I use with every client to connect the dots, get clarity fast, and figure out what your symptoms are really trying to tell you. 👇🏼

Because let’s be real… 💊 You don’t need another supplement rec from tik tok. 🥗 You don’t need another restrictive diet. 🧪 You need answers. Root cause answers.

When I started feeling: — Skin flares + histamine issues — Mood swings I couldn’t mindset my way out of — Digestive symptoms that didn’t make sense
I knew it wasn’t random… it was a signal.

So I practiced what I preach: 📋 Ran a GI MAP 🔬 Used my Root Cause Blueprint ✅ Built a protocol based on my body

The 5-step process I shared in this post is the same one I walk clients through, and it works.

It’s not quick, trendy, or one-size-fits-all. 
But it’s what actually heals your gut and helps you feel like yourself again.

Ready to see what’s really going on inside your gut?
