This week, I'm thrilled to welcome my good friend Alison Marras onto the show. Alison is a holistic nutritionist and author of the Paleo Gut Healing Cookbook. Her expertise in gut health, autoimmune disease, and food sensitivities shines through as she shares her personal journey of healing from Hashimoto's, PCOS, and IBS naturally. Alison’s philosophy centers on the importance of not just what we eat but how we eat, emphasizing the role of the nervous system in our reactions to food and overall digestive health.In this episode, we focused on Alison’s method of restoring gut health and she introduces us to the In Tune Method, a holistic approach she created to guide clients in reintroducing reactive foods with confidence, reducing inflammation, and escaping the cycle of elimination diets. We discuss the significance of mindful eating practices and the power of the nervous system in healing the gut. Alison explains why our food sensitivities can be viewed as a superpower rather than a hindrance, which can help shift your entire approach to health and wellness. We also touch on the crucial aspects of self-care, daily routines, and the need for a compassionate relationship with oneself in the journey to better health. Don't miss out on Alison’s special freebie, a meal plan bot that crafts personalized meal plans to help incorporate diverse, nourishing foods into your diet while you work on overall healing.

Welcome back to the 8th and final part of the HTMA Mineral podcast mini-series! In this last part, I wanted to address heavy metals because I get questions about them a lot. So let’s talk about some of the heavy metals I see most often and how I specifically think about heavy metals and detoxification. This is particularly helpful if you’ve been feeling really foggy, inflamed, or like there's something missing, especially if you’re dealing with Hashimoto’s and have heard that mercury or other heavy metals could be at play. In this episode, I’ll break down how heavy metals like mercury, aluminum, and uranium affect the body, and provide actionable steps to safely and effectively detox these harmful substances. I go over the importance of customized detox protocols, ensuring your nervous system is regulated and your drainage pathways are open before beginning any type of heavy metal detox. I'll also share why zeolite is my go-to binder for heavy metals, and discuss some specific nutrients that support detoxification. Finally, I’ll share how heavy metals impact overall health, including thyroid function, energy levels, and hormone balance. As always, it's crucial to get tested before starting any detoxification process, rather than guessing. If this episode resonated with you and you're ready to start opening up the pathways to healing, you can grab my HTMA Mini Lab package and get a full protocol tailored to your needs. Thank you for joining me in this eight-part mini-series; your feedback and engagement have been incredible.
