IBS is a multi-faceted diagnosis that requires a multi-layered approach to heal it – for good.
IBS is a multi-faceted diagnosis that requires a multi-layered approach to heal it – for good.
According to research done by UCLA, up to 60% of patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) also have Fibromyalgia, and up to 70% of patients with Fibromyalgia have IBS. Is this the key to finding healing for both?
I’m so excited to announce Blood Lab Bootcamp is open for enrollment this week, for one week only from January 5th to 12th! Are you uncertain Blood Lab Bootcamp is right for you?
Have you ever wondered what lab tests you need? Have you ever felt previous lab results didn’t bring the answers you were seeking? Do you wish for clarity in your health? If so, this episode is for YOU!
Our current episode series is all about how being able to read your own blood work from your doctor is a MUST for every woman. Every episode topic, from the thyroid to acid reflux to client testimonials, has led to the upcoming launch of Blood Lab Bootcamp. This online course is going LIVE for registration very soon at the turn of the new year – Jan 5th through 12th. Today, I’m sharing another testimonial on how bloodwork changed a life. But this time – it’s mine!
Have you ever noticed that no matter how many times or how often you take Iron and Vitamin D, your doctor keeps telling you that they’re low? Even after you bought the supplements and did everything you were supposed to? Supplements are an investment, especially if you’re trying hard in your health through supplementation. The sunk cost of supplements that don’t make a difference in your health adds up! Tune in if you’ve been unable to restore your Iron or Vitamin D levels to learn more!
We all KNOW how important the thyroid is, but there’s often uncertainty surrounding thyroid issues! What if you could understand your thyroid? What if that understanding allowed you to save time, money, and frustration? What if you could be empowered in your health and working with a doctor you KNEW was on the same page as you? I have good news – it’s easier than you think!
Our doctors constantly hammer us about our cholesterol. Are we eating too much meat? Red meat? Fatty meat? Egg yolks? If our cholesterol is high, there’s shame and stigma surrounding that number. (PS. I have tons of slender, even “healthy”, clients with high cholesterol. Their doctors literally don’t know what to do with them). If our cholesterol is fine, right now, we’re terrified of if it ever goes high. If our cholesterol is low – doctor’s don’t even talk too much about that. But it happens.
Do you struggle with acid reflux? Between 20-30% of Americans have acid reflux symptoms every week. That’s almost one third of Americans every week! According to the World Journal of Gastroenterology in a study of more than 6,000 patients, 63% of people with IBS ALSO have acid reflux / or GERD. On top of that, IBS affects women in a 2:1 ratio compared to men. So the overwhelming majority of people with IBS are women, and the majority of these women with IBS also have GERD. Safe to say – I have a lot of clients with acid reflux and ALL the symptoms that come with it.
