Back in March of this year, 2021, I released a podcast episode titled “Why Your Doctor Says Your Labs Look Normal When You Don’t Feel Normal.”

I recorded this episode on the heels of my first pregnancy and subsequent miscarriage. At the time, I was doing some serious detective work with my blood labs!

The miscarriage and discoveries in my blood labs drove me to record my initial thesis on why doctors are not reading your labs right. Creating that episode got me thinking:

What if every woman could read her blood labs?

What if women, and men, didn’t need to take their doctor’s word for it anymore?

What if we had power, and understanding, in our own hands to negotiate and communicate clearly?

What if we had data that PROVED we were gaslighting ourselves, and stopped all the self-doubt and feelings that we’re making up our symptoms.

We do. We have the data. It’s in our blood. We just don’t know how to read it!

From this, the idea for Blood Lab Bootcamp was born. Today, I’m happy to announce that, as of January 5, 2022, my premier course Blood Lab Bootcamp will be launching a second time for our second round of students.

As part of that announcement, I am going to share with you the 6 reasons your doctor is reading your labs wrong PLUS how YOU can learn how to do it better.

I am so excited for Blood Lab Bootcamp, and it’s my goal that by the end of this episode and over the course of the next two months, you’ll understand why and will be, too!

82// 5 Reasons Autoimmune Diagnoses Don't Have to Be Scary

Have you ever felt like your illness or condition was “too hard” for a health practitioner to handle?

Does your diagnosis ever feel like a life sentence? Haunting you everywhere you go, yet invisible to those around you?

Have you ever wished you just DIDN’T have the disease, illness, or even the body you had?

If so, you are like many of our clients we have worked with.

And I understand, I’ve been there. I’ve asked God why I had the body I did, what I did wrong to get here, or why I couldn’t have a different body.

Yet along the pathway to my internal healing, I have found that having a chronic illness or autoimmune diagnosis is actually not as scary as I once thought it to be.

I’m not as stuck or as powerless as I used to believe. My body (and myself) is actually a GIFT! To myself, to others, and to the world.

The best thing is - our clients are learning the same things for themselves every day.

How is this happening?

On today’s episode, I am going to share with you 5 reasons that your autoimmune diagnosis or chronic illness doesn’t have to be scary OR overwhelming - even if it sometimes feels like it is.

If you have any Autoimmune Disease, including:

  • Fibromyalgia

  • Crohn's

  • Ulcerative Colitis

  • Rheumatoid Arthritis

  • Endometriosis

  • Interstitial Cystitis

Then this episode is for you!

81// 6 Most Common Causes of IBS

Do you have an IBS diagnosis?

If so, you may know that it’s not a particularly specific diagnosis.

You could experience diarrhea, constipation, OR both. Plus the wide array of symptoms from bloating to anxiety, and beyond.

IBS is, by nature, a catch-all diagnosis. You can find that IN the name - Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

A syndrome, in the medical world, refers to a disease state with a recognizable pattern of symptoms but lacking in consistent or known causes.

So if you have a syndrome, the cause is unknown, what can you do about it? (And what can you do about it instead of going on a diet like the Low FODMAP diet?)

Do you have any hope of getting rid of it?

In the case of IBS, the answer is a resounding YES.

In today's episode, I’m sharing with you the 6 most common causes of IBS that we are seeing at Better Belly Therapies.

80// "Am I broken? Am I unfixable?" Questions and Answers from 50 Women We've Talked With at Better Belly Therapies

Over the past two years, we’ve had over 50 women apply to work with us at Better Belly Therapies to do our signature gut healing program - the Foundations Program.

Part of the process of working with us is filling out our Qualifying Call Application - a series of questions that gathers all the necessary data for me and my team to decide if we can help the woman who is applying to work with us.

On today’s podcast, I’m sharing the results from nearly 50 women’s responses to the Qualifying Call application. These responses are all from women that we approved to talk with, and who qualified to work with us.

Their responses include SO much information:

  • How long they’ve been feeling sick

  • Their top 5 symptoms

  • What they’ve tried - and what hasn’t worked

  • If they’ve done labs

  • And more!

I feel called to share this data with you all. Many women have asked questions while meeting with our team, like: “Am I broken?” “Am I unfixable?” “Have you ever heard this before?”

There’s a common feeling of loneliness in the journey.

But they aren’t alone. By sharing this episode, I want you to know that YOU aren’t alone either.

I invite you to sit back and listen. Do you sound like one of these women? Is their story like yours?

If their stories DO resonate with you, I want you to know: You are not alone, and most importantly, you are not stuck.

79// Overcoming a Decade of IBS, Weight Gain, Sleep Problems, and Fatigue - Testimonial with my client Becca

Have you struggled with Gut issues for a decade - or more?

Have you gone to multiple doctors, even GI specialists, and never gotten an answer? Or maybe the answer was simply a diagnosis of IBS?

Have you felt like there was more going on in your body, yet couldn’t figure it out with the doctor’s help?

Did you have other problems like sleep issues, weight gain, and fatigue?

Have you tried everything from elimination diets to building sleep hygiene habits - and you just didn’t know what else to do?

If you’ve answered yes to a few of these, you’ll relate to my client Becca!

On her final 6 month follow up call, she allowed us to share her story on air. We hope sharing her story encourages women like YOU and shares a message: you are NOT stuck.
