Got Gut Issues? FREE Online Event!

digestive issues, gut health

Got gut issues?  You are not alone.  Living with chronic digestive problems has become the new normal, as medicine has fallen well behind the latest science and natural treatments.

Meanwhile, millions of people have lost control of their lives, suffering in an uncomfortable silence as they learn how to “manage their condition” with drugs and temporary symptom relief.

I really want to share an awesome FREE online event happening November 9- 23rd. I really think that this event is going to help lots of people.  I just wanted to make sure that you all knew about it.

This is a personal topic for me as I got really sick a couple of years ago and spent over a year in the conventional medical system trying to figure out what was going on.  I had countless appointments with my primary care doctor and GI specialists.  I had countless blood draws, a CT of my abdomen, an Ultrasound of my abdomen, liver, and pancreas, and an endoscopy.  It was a nightmare!

And  no one could tell me why I was having chronic stomach pain, bloating, and weight loss.  I felt terrible.  And I felt hopeless.  The only thing that I was told is that I have IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and was prescribed a medication for “non-specific abdominal pain.”

I quickly walked out of the GI Specialist’s office and decided that there had to be another way. 

Lucky for me, there was.  I was fortunate enough to be at a Paleo Conference in Austin, Texas earlier this year.  I walked into a discussion about the connection between gut issues and infections.  The presenter was talking about folks who do all the right things (eating well, exercising, removing trigger foods, etc) but still feeling lowsy.  THAT WAS ME!  This guy was talking about me and for the first time, I felt like someone could help me.  It made me cry.

Turns out that the presenter was a Functional Medicine doctor, and within weeks, I was seeing him and getting some answers.

Fast forward 6 months,  and I now know that I was suffering from 2 gut infections that were affecting my digestion and my body’s ability to absorb nutrients.  I have been working closely with  a Functional Medicine doctor to not only clear those infections but to also support my adrenals and other body systems so I can find my way back to optimal health.

No, it hasn’t been easy.  It’s been a lot of work to support my body, clean out infections, change my diet, and to be patient with my healing process.  The biggest thing that I have learned from all of this is that stress has a HUGE role in disease in the body.  I am now on my way to healing my body.  I feel heard and supported by my care provider.  And I am now very passionate about sharing this with other folks who may be suffering like I was.

    Gut issues are such an epidemic! I know SO many people who are affected by digestive issues (including myself). I’m looking forward to attending this event. I heard Dr. Tom O’Bryan speak during the Natural Cures Summit with Dr. Josh Axe last month – it was a VERY informative interview. Thanks for sharing this. 😉

how do you start your day? 💪🏃‍♀️🧘🏽‍♀️🚴🏽‍♂️☕️

mindset mindset mindset 🧠🧠• having a morning routine allows us to set an intention for the day rather then just letting the day run away from us • it helps determine our mind set and the tone for the rest of the day ✨✨

things like meditation, journaling, yoga, exercise, and other self-care practices can help us start the day feeling calm and inspired 🧘🏻 • consciously selecting the thoughts we have, the foods we eat , and the news/social media/images we see matters • a solid morning routine can reduce stress, boost energy, increase mental clarity, and leave us feeling 🤩

creating a morning routine looks different for us all • routine comes easier for some than others • we all have different priorities, time limits, physical needs/abilities, and health concerns there • are no rules • find what works for you 

i know that i feel better when i stick to my morning routine • i know that i feel better when i don’t engage with my phone or social media the first hour or two after waking up • i know i feel better when i consciously select what i bring into my head space first thing in the morning, including the thoughts that i have 

my morning routine currently looks like this:  10 minutes of quiet meditation, some form of elimination pathways opening like Gua Sha, coffee e nema, an epsom salts bath, or a sauna, yoga/workout, and a big green juice 🥬🥒🍏

👉👉 do you have a morning routine?  i’d love to hear how you start your day • leave me a comment below ⤵️⤵️
what’s not to love about a fritter? ❤️ • what’s not to love about a fritter? ❤️ •  made a batch of my BUTTERNUT SQUASH FRITTERS this morning • a great way to get more vegetables onto your plate • so good with a plate of fried eggs and steamed kale • made with just a few simple ingredients • don’t skip the fresh herbs 🍀🌱🍀

* butternut squash (about 3 pounds)- peeled and shredded
* eggs, whisked
* 1/2 cup gluten free flour (I used a combo of almond flour and tapioca) 
* 1/4 cup fresh herbs, finely chopped ( any combo of parsley, basil, sage, or cilantro)
* 1/4–1/2 tsp garlic powder
* 1 tsp salt
* ghee or avocado oil for cooking

1. in a large bowl, combine shredded butternut squash, eggs, flour, herbs, garlic powder, and salt.  mix to combine. 
2. in a large skillet, heat a liberal amount of fat of choice over medium high heat.  scoop out 2 tablespoons of mixture into hand, squeeze into a ball, and place into skillet, flattening with the back of a spatula or measuring cup. cook until golden brown.  flip and cook other side.  repeat until mixture is all gone, adding more fat as needed. 
3. place cooked fritters onto a wire rack while cooking the rest.  serve immediately or freeze for later once cooled.
self-care is about creating healthy habits ❤️• having a “self-care” routine before you get sick can keep you healthy 💪 • and it doesn’t have to be expensive or time consuming • there are so many ways to care for yourself that are 100% free:
💧 hydration
☀️ sunshine,
🌈 fresh air
🌲 nature
🤸🏼‍♂️ movement
🙏 gratitude
👯 connection
🧘🏽‍♀️ meditation

the body usually gives us signals that something is starting to be out of balance • it’s important that we listen or it can lead to more serious health issues • every day is another chance to start taking care of ourselves 

my self-care routine focuses heavily on detoxification/elimination because i’m in heal mode • my toxic burden bucket 🪣 got too full + it put me over the edge • the liver, kidneys, large intestine, lymphatic system, and sweat glands 💦💦 work hard every day to reduce the build up of environmental contaminants and need regular support to keep functioning optimally • my self-care routine includes:

• infrared sauna for sweating
• Gua Sha to move lymph
• epsom salt baths
• daily movement
• hydration
• cold-pressed juices for nutrition
• coffee enemas
• ozone therapy 
• red light therapy 
• time in nature

don’t wait until you get sick to decide to take care of yourself • you only have this one body and this one precious life • it is NOT normal to feel crappy as we age • let’s change the paradigm and move forward in age with grace + vitality ✨✨• than you, @dr.jess.md for motivating me to take things to the next level
