THE BETTER BELLY PODCAST - Natural Constipation Remedies, Acid Reflux, Hormones, Gut Health, Functional Medicine

Do you ever feel like your emotions inside you are so big that you don't know how you'll ever have enough time to process them? Do you feel like you get triggered at the sign of a single symptom, or conversation, or thought - and it takes you hours or days to feel calm again? Or maybe you’re living with chronic illness, chronic pain, or ongoing stress — and you’re wondering how can you ever regulate your emotions when your body feels constantly at war / threatened? If you said “yes” to any of these questions, this episode is for you. Today’s episode continues our series exploring the emotional weight of chronic illness. And it's a particularly special episode, as we're going to talk with emotions experts, author, and founders of Connection Codes, Dr. Glenn and Phyllis Hill. Dr. Glenn and Phyllis are passionate about helping people discover that emotions aren’t a problem to fix, but a powerful, natural tool to master - so that homes can be healed, marriages strengthened, and communities transformed. As we continue with our chronic illness and mental health series, I’m sharing the things that anchored me on my journey toward wholeness — and Dr. Glenn and Phyllis have been a part of my recent journey and something I've found so healing and empowering. So I'm sharing them with you! In today’s episode, we’re diving into:How to regulate your emotions in 4 minutes or lessWhy processing emotions doesn't need to take hours, days, weeks, or yearsSymptoms of suppressing unprocessed emotions vs. emotional regulation What the 8 core emotions are - and why being able to name them is so powerful in emotional regulationProcessing emotions with chronic illness - including stress, grief, and emotional healing We’ll talk about what emotional regulation really means, why “control your emotions” often backfires in the process of healing, and how you can make your emotions your friend on your journey of chronic illness and mental health. If you’ve been doing everything you know how to do and you’re still not better, I hope this episode meets you exactly where you are. Not to fix you. Not to promise a breakthrough. But to strengthen your inner heart that illness, stress, and unprocessed emotions may have been quietly wearing down.

Are you struggling with chronic illness or symptoms that just won't go away, and you've gotten to a point where it just feels like maybe no one understands your symptoms or what you're going through?Do your parents, family, or friends subtly or directly implying that don't really think you have anything? That you're overly sensitive and it's go away if you just chose to stop being so sensitive?Are you tired of explaining your symptoms or what day to day life is like to your family or friends - maybe they don't devalidate you like your family, but they have no idea how to respond other that "I'm so sorry you're going through that", and you feel even more alone than before you shared?Or - have you sat in a doctor’s office, hoping someone would finally understand — and been met with blank stares and no answers?If you said yes to any of those questions, this episode is for you.Today’s episode starts our series exploring the emotional weight of chronic illness. No protocols. No strategies. No fixing.In this series, I’m sharing the things that anchored me on my journey toward wholeness — even in seasons where I felt like (or literally was) making zero progress.The goal is simple: to slow down and talk about the matters of the heart.To sit together for a moment and reflect — with who you are right now, not the future healed version of you — how do you tend your heart? How do you find emotional, internal health?Because you don't have to be physically healthy first to find emotional health.In today’s episode, we’re diving into:what chronic illness can feel lonely, even when you're surrounded by loving peopletips on what to do with people who are not loving or supportive on your health journeyexamples of 2 people in the Bible who hit a "I can't take it any longer" moment in their life, how they responded, and what lessons we can learn from itpractical steps to take to combat chronic illness loneliness, with or without the support of your immediate friends and familyIf you’ve been doing everything you know how to do to get healthy and you’re still not better, I hope this episode meets you exactly where you are. Not to fix you. But to strengthen something inside you that illness may have been quietly wearing down.P.S. In this episode, I’ll be sharing from my own faith background, because that’s where many of these lessons were shaped for me. But these conversations are for anyone who’s looking for steadiness, hope, and emotional resilience in the middle of a hard season. I hope this blesses you!TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Chronic Illness Isolation 01:10 - Series Purpose and Scope 02:00 - What to Expect Today 03:38 - Why This Series Now 05:55 - Bible Stories for Resilience 06:40 - Science of Loneliness 10:35 - Supportive vs Dismissive People 12:24 - What to Do With Loneliness 13:52 - Elijah Hits the Wall 18:56 - God Meets Elijah Gently 23:34 - You Are Not Alone 25:24 - Modern Parallel and Community 27:48 - When Faith Heroes Hit Walls 28:45 - Moses Reaches Breaking Point 29:24 - The Weight of Millions 31:31 - Kill Me Now Prayer 32:56 - God Shares the Burden 33:51 - Loneliness Takeaways Begin 34:30 - Be Real and Journal It 36:07 - Find Safe People and Counselors 40:31 - Receive the Help Offered 43:44 - Ask Clearly for Support 47:19 - Ask God and Trust Provision 49:59 - Closing and Community InviteEPISODES MENTIONED:Ep. 162// Constipation Remedies Not Working?

Have you been told you have low progesterone — and the solution was birth control, hormone therapy, or progesterone supplements — but no one could explain why your progesterone is low in the first place? Or maybe you’ve never had testing confirm it, but you're wondering if you may have low progesterone based on your symptoms — insomnia, anxiety, cycle issues, fertility struggles. Or maybe you’ve tried all. the. things. for low progesterone in women — supplements, birth control, natural treatments, cycle syncing — but nothing has actually changed… and you’re left wondering what else there is to do?

Have you been told you have low estrogen — and the solution was immediately birth control or hormone replacement — but no one could explain why your estrogen is low in the first place? Or maybe you haven’t even tested yet, but you’re dealing with classic low estrogen symptoms like dry skin, low libido, thinning hair, weight gain, anxiety, or brain fog… and you’re wondering if low estrogen could be the missing piece. Or maybe you have tried supplements, hormones, or lifestyle changes to raise estrogen — and nothing sticks. You feel better for a minute… then crash again. And you’re left asking: Why won’t my hormones actually rebalance? If you said “yes” to any of those, this episode is for you. Today we’re continuing the Real Root Cause Series, where I take conditions that are commonly treated like the root cause — and show you what’s actually driving them underneath. This matters because confusing a symptom for a root cause is the fastest way to stay stuck… even when you’re “doing all the right things.” Today’s topic is low estrogen. In this episode, I’m breaking down:Why low estrogen really happensCommon low estrogen signs and side effects Why artificially boosting estrogen sets you up for potentially worse problems long-termThe five real root causes that lead to low estrogenAnd the exact tests to find which root causes you are uniquely dealing with And one more thing — for this entire Real Root Cause Series, I’ve created visuals. If you’re a visual learner, or you want to see the full big-picture flow of what’s draining your hormones, head to betterbellytherapies.com/root to download the graphics that go with this episode. Because when you stop trying to raise estrogen by force and start restoring the vitality your body needs to make hormones again — that’s when you get full-body transformation.

Or maybe you don’t have an “official” diagnosis… but you’ve got classic histamine intolerance symptoms like anxiety, reflux, bloating, eczema, dizziness, insomnia, or weird food reactions… and you’re wondering if histamine is the problem?

Have you been told that your thyroid — or hypothyroidism — is the reason you’re dealing with fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, dry skin, constipation, bloating, or digestive issues that seem to keep piling up?Have you started thyroid medication or supplements, only to feel maybe a little better… but still not like yourself?Or maybe your doctor is telling you that your labs are “normal,” but you're still suspicious thyroid might have something to do with it — and you want to know how you can support your thyroid safely to boost your energy, digestion, and metabolism? If any of that sounds familiar, then this episode is for you. Today we’re continuing the Real Root Cause Series, where I'm taking conditions that are commonly labeled as root causes — and breaking down to you what their REAL root causes are. This is super powerful because understanding a fake vs. real root cause is the difference between healing from your symptoms... or not. Today's topic is: thyroid health — specifically hypothyroidism. This episode might ruffle some feathers, because I’m going to make the case that hypothyroidism itself is not a true root cause. That doesn’t mean your symptoms aren’t real. And it definitely doesn’t mean your labs don’t matter. But it doesmean that something else is driving why your thyroid hormones aren’t working the way they should. In this episode, I’m walking you through:Why thyroid medication alone often doesn’t fully resolve symptomsHow you can have “normal” labs and still have hypothyroid symptomsHow thyroid hormones are actually made, converted, and used in the bodyWhat this has to do with finding (and testing for) the real root causes to thyroid imbalanceWhat gut health has to do with thyroid healthAnd what needs to be addressed underneath your thyroid for your symptoms to truly improve If you're ready to understand your thyroid better than you ever have, plus have the tools you need to support your thyroid (and whole body health) beyond medication - then this episode is for you.

Have you been told that slow motility is the reason you’re constipated, bloated, or dealing with digestive issues that just won’t resolve?Have you tried to “treat” slow motility — with supplements, laxatives, diets, or protocols — only to find that nothing actually sticks?Or maybe you haven’t been formally diagnosed, but all signs seem to point to slow digestion, sluggish bowels, or food just not moving the way it should.If any of that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.Today we’re continuing the Real Root Cause Series, where I'm taking conditions that are commonly labeled as root causes — and breaking down to you what their REAL root causes are. This is super powerful because understanding a fake vs. real root cause is the difference between finding healing from your symptoms... or not.Today's topic is: slow motility.Slow motility is a common diagnosis I hear clients get from a doctor who explains that "slow motility" is why they have constipation, acid reflux, bloating, or some other digestive issue. The solution to slow motility, according to the doctor, is usually either "get used to it", surgery (when motility is bad enough), or a merry-go-round of supplements or medications designed to help "slow motility" (but that don't really help relieve your symptoms).The reason these methods don't really help slow motility is because slow motility is NOT a root cause. It's being CAUSED by something else!That's why, on today's episode, I'm breaking down:Why treating slow gut motility with supplements or medications rarely worksThe real causes of slow gut motilityHow to test for these root causes of low motilityAnd what actually needs to be addressed for motility to return naturallyIf you're ready to stop chasing new and different supplements or simply feeling like a victim to the rate your body decided to digest at - then this episode is for you.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Introduction to Slow Motility 00:34 - Understanding Real Root Causes 01:00 - Common Misdiagnoses and Misconceptions 02:01 - Welcome to the Better Belly Podcast 03:10 - Deep Dive into Slow Motility 07:46 - Symptoms and Related Conditions 09:04 - Root Causes of Slow Motility 13:43 - Digestive Enzymes and Their Importance 17:34 - Visceral Adhesions Explained 20:32 - Understanding Myofascial and Visceral Adhesions 21:44 - Finding a Qualified Practitioner for Visceral Manipulation 22:32 - Self-Evaluation Techniques for Visceral Adhesions 23:21 - The Role of the Vagus Nerve in Motility 25:35 - Mold and Its Impact on Gut Health 27:56 - Other Pathogens Affecting Gut Motility 29:34 - Nutrient Deficiencies and Constipation 31:04 - Food Sensitivities and Inflammation 32:41 - Thyroid Issues and Slow Motility 34:49 - Comprehensive Testing and Protocols 38:13 - Conclusion and Next StepsEPISODES MENTIONED:235// SIBO Symptoms, SIBO Testing, and Why SIBO Treatments Fail90// Fascia 101: The Hidden Force Behind Bloating and Constipation118// LIVER: The #1 Thing You Can Do to Ease Bloating and PMS221// Mold & Constipation: How Toxic Mold Exposure Causes Constipation232// Is Sodium Deficiency Causing Your Bloating and Constipation?40// Reduce Acid Reflux with the Magic Power of Zinc233// H.

Are you struggling with acid reflux, bloating, constipation, SIBO, or candida overgrowth?Do you feel like you've tried everything to heal — supplements, protocols, elimination diets, practitioners — and they either didn't help, or the second you stopped doing it, all your symptoms came back?If that’s you, there’s a very real chance you’re dealing with something you may have never heard of before: low stomach acid.Yes, LOW stomach acid.Today’s episode is kicking off a series I'm running this January - February called the Real Root Causes series. And I’m starting with low stomach acid on purpose.Because while low stomach acid is something I reference constantly when working with chronic gut issues… here’s the plot twist:-- it’s still not a REAL root cause.Low stomach acid doesn’t just happen. And if you don’t understand why it’s happening, you’ll stay stuck in the cycle of temporary fixes and recurring symptoms.So today, I'm going to break down the REAL root causes to low stomach acid. I'll be covering topics like:Why low stomach acid happensMy favorite at-home low stomach acid testSigns of low stomach acidWhy apple cider vinegar for low stomach acid is not safe until you test this ONE thingThe REAL root causes of low stomach acidHow to test for the root causes of low stomach acidAnd the exact low stomach acid remedies and protocols you'll need to permanently reverse it - so you can finally get rid of your acid reflux, constipation, SIBO, and candida infection, tooIf all you’ve ever been told to do to help your stomach acid or digestion is drink lemon water, apple cider vinegar, or take HCl supplements, then this episode is for you.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Introduction and Podcast Overview00:21 - The Real Root Causes Series01:54 - Understanding Low Stomach Acid03:50 - Symptoms and Misconceptions of Low Stomach Acid07:05 - Root Causes of Low Stomach Acid09:27 - Testing and Protocols for Low Stomach Acid20:17 - Conclusion and Next Episode PreviewEPISODES MENTIONED:233// H.

It’s been almost 300 episodes, and I realized something recently… I haven’t fully re-shared my healing story in a really long time.So as a way to celebrate the new year, I'm telling my story again — but with new details, deeper clarity, and perspective I didn’t have the first time I shared it… all the way back in Episode 1.Eight years ago, in 2018, I reversed two straight years of constipation, acid reflux, and IBS— after being told there was nothing “wrong” with me… and nothing more that could be done. Now, my health is actually better now than it was when I was a kid.In today’s episode, I’m walking you through the 7 steps I took to naturally heal my gut when absolutely nothing else worked. It's the same 7 steps I’ve now used with over 650 clients to naturally remedy constipation, acid reflux, bloating, IBS, PMS, acne, eczema, and more - and once you know these 7 steps, for you to experience the same results, too.I can’t wait to break it all down for you.

Have you ever had a practitioner casually tell you, “You need to cut out caffeine,” and your whole brain just went: “I’m sorry… WHAT?” Yeah. That moment. Because sure — your adrenal glands are fried. Your nervous system is tired. Your cortisol is tanking at all the wrong times of day. But also… you’re a human. With routines. And feelings. And morning rituals you actually like. So when I tell my clients they need a break from caffeine — coffee, black tea, matcha, even green tea — the very next question is always: “Okay… but how am I supposed to have any energy?” Great news: we fix that. I actually give every client a supplement that increases the half-life of their cortisol — so your natural energy lasts longer without the caffeine crash. (We love science.) But then comes the second panic: “Wait… what am I supposed to drink now?” Because let’s be honest: the comfort of the drink matters just as much as the caffeine. The warmth. The ritual. The cozy cup in your hands.The “this is MY moment before the chaos starts” drink. So today’s episode is my gift to you — a giant menu of delicious, client-approved, totally caffeine-free drinks that actually make this season fun, doable, and dare I say… enjoyable. If you’re trying to go caffeine-free — or you’ve wanted to try but didn’t know what to replace your coffee with — this episode is going to give you ideas, options, and hope that you can still love your morning drink… even while giving your adrenals a well-deserved nap.

Have you recently switched to a dairy-free diet and suddenly realized your old protein powder is off the table? Or maybe you’ve heard that most conventional protein powders are loaded with fillers, artificial sweeteners, gums, and even heavy metals — and now you’re wondering what safe, clean protein powder alternatives you’re actually supposed to buy. If you’re anything like me — or my clients — you’re probably standing in the protein aisle (or scrolling on Amazon) feeling completely overwhelmed. There are so many options… and let’s be honest: not all of them taste great, and not all of them are good for your gut. That’s why today, I’m breaking down the top 10 healthy, dairy-free, gluten-free, gut-friendly protein powders that my clients and I personally use and love. I’ll walk you through:who each powder is best for,why my clients liked it,and what makes each one a great fit for sensitive digestion. And make sure you stay until the end — because I’m revealing the TOP recommendations LAST. I’ll also give you a quick summary of which protein powders to try first depending on what’s going on in your body — whether you’re dealing with candida, want the best plant-based options, or you need something for a super-sensitive gut. As we head into the holiday season — with travel, treats, and routine changes — I hope these recommendations give you easy, delicious ways to support your gut, your energy, and your taste buds. TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Introduction to Dairy-Free Protein Powders 00:49 - Top 10 Healthy Protein Powders Overview 03:03 - Client Recommendations and Insights 04:08 - Whole Betty Vanilla Protein 06:22 - Organic Pumpkin Seed Protein 08:15 - Hemp Protein 10:18 - Flav City Almond Protein 12:35 - Paleo Valley Beef Protein 19:11 - True Nutrition Custom Protein Builder 21:57 - Exploring Protein Flavors and Sweeteners 22:27 - Understanding Gut Health and Sweeteners 23:25 - Customizing Your Protein Blend 23:53 - Nutrition Facts and Ingredient Insights 24:27 - Boost Options and Their Effects 26:28 - Recommendations for Protein Powders 27:33 - Collagen Protein: Benefits and Considerations 29:11 Top Protein Powder Picks 36:32 - Final Thoughts and Resources  EPISODES MENTIONED:234// Symptoms of Candida Overgrowth, How to Test for Candida, and Why the Candida Diet and Candida Cleanses Don't Work 😱(+ What to Do Instead!)178// Why Constipation Medicine and Laxatives Are Not Helping148// The Oxalate Episode: Why You Should Care About Oxalates171// 3 Dairy Free Foods for Creamy Cheese, Sauces, and PIZZA205// My 5 Favorite Grain Free Bread Recipes for a Healthy Gut170// 5 Tips to Go Gluten Free & Grain Free with EASE116// Why Going Gluten Free Hasn’t Healed Your Gas and Bloating279// Why Going Low FODMAP, Paleo, or Gluten-Free Isn’t Healing Your Gut PROTEIN POWDER LINKS:Organic Hemp Protein PowderWhole Betty Vanilla Protein Powder (Vegan)Organic Pumpkin Seed PowderFlavCity Almond Protein Powder (Vanilla Cream)Paleo Valley Beef Both Broth Protein Powder (Vanilla)True Nutrition Custom ProteinCollagen Protein Powder (this is the one I use)Equip Prime Beef Protein PowderBe Well Grass-Fed Protein Powder (Vanilla)Truvani Protein Powder HEAL YOUR GUT TODAY!Option #1) 👉 Join the Better Belly Blueprint today!Want to learn how BBB works? Watch this FREE training walking you through how to heal, once and for all!Option #2) 👉 Work long-term, 1:1 with me as a Better Belly VIP client (Pay-in-full and payment plan options available)Want to make sure that VIP is right for you? Book a FREE 20 Min Application Call! RESOURCES:Subscribe to our Weekly Podcast NewsletterDownload the entire Better Belly Podcast Vault!Grab my FREE 60+ Page Family Recipe Book (Gluten Free, Grain Free, and Dairy Free!)Download my Free Constipation Relief GuideGet Full Access to my Liver Detox Protocol for only $7!Get the Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis Spreadsheet LINKS:JOIN → Join our FREE Facebook Group FOLLOW → @betterbellytherapiesASK → Ask a Question for the PodcastWORK WITH US → 

What makes some people heal faster than others?And how can you use that information to speed up your own healing process? Since healing myself in 2018, I’ve worked with hundreds of men and women — in my clinic and online — to find and fix the root causes behind their gut, skin, sinus, hormone, and autoimmune issues. And after working with all these clients, I started asking myself: what made the difference that helps some clients heal fast, while others healed slow? Was it random who healed quickly? Or was it from invisible, uncontrollable factors like their genes? Turns out—it wasn’t random. And it definitely wasn’t genetics. There were clear, repeatable habits my fastest-healing clients shared.  Today, I’m breaking down the top 3 things my most successful clients do to heal their gut FAST—so you can do the same. TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Introduction: Why Do Some People Heal Faster? 00:58 - Welcome to the Better Belly Podcast 02:09 - Disclaimer: Factors That Can Slow Down Healing 03:56 - Key Habit #1: Complete All Recommended Testing 09:29 - Key Habit #2: Address Mold Issues Quickly 11:36 - Key Habit #3: Stay Open to Pivoting 20:23 - Conclusion and Invitation to Join Better Belly Blueprint 21:49 - Thanksgiving Wishes and Final Thoughts  EPISODES MENTIONED: HEAL YOUR GUT TODAY!Option #1) 👉 Join the Better Belly Blueprint today!Want to learn how BBB works? Watch this FREE training walking you through how to heal, once and for all!Option #2) 👉 Work long-term, 1:1 with me as a Better Belly VIP client (Pay-in-full and payment plan options available)Want to make sure that VIP is right for you? Book a FREE 20 Min Application Call! RESOURCES:Subscribe to our Weekly Podcast NewsletterDownload the entire Better Belly Podcast Vault!Grab my FREE 60+ Page Family Recipe Book (Gluten Free, Grain Free, and Dairy Free!)Download my Free Constipation Relief GuideGet Full Access to my Liver Detox Protocol for only $7!Get the Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis Spreadsheet LINKS:JOIN → Join our FREE Facebook Group FOLLOW → @betterbellytherapiesASK → Ask a Question for the PodcastWORK WITH US → betterbellytherapies.com SHOW US YOUR LOVE:If this podcast episode positively impacted you, please leave a Rating and Review for the podcast.

Have you been diagnosed with restless leg syndrome - but the iron pills or medications you've been given for it aren't giving you any relief? Do you struggle with chronic fatigue, and you've been told it's from restless leg syndrome, but nothing you try makes you feel more rested? If you’ve ever spent nights Googling “restless leg syndrome treatment” or “restless leg syndrome causes,” you know how frustrating RLS is. When I was diagnosed with restless leg syndrome in middle school, I felt the same confusion and frustration about my RLS. I was told it was because I had low iron. I took the supplement, and it maybe helped a little...but I still felt exhausted throughout the day. It wasn't until I became a functional health practitioner that I figured out what was causing my restless leg syndrome - and how to treat restless leg syndrome for myself in a way that actually WORKED. Now - I've found COMPLETE restless leg syndrome relief (which my husband is so grateful for!). And today, I'm going to teach you how you can do the same.  In today’s episode, we’re diving into the real root causes of Restless Leg Syndrome — the ones most doctors never mention. You’ll learn how restless leg syndrome connects to your brain, iron levels, airway health, and even your gut health — and what steps you can take to finally find restless leg syndrome relief naturally. Restless leg syndrome isn't random, and you're not stuck with it for forever. It's time to teach you the root cause of restless leg syndrome so that your legs - and your sleep - can finally find some peace.  TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Introduction to Restless Leg Syndrome 00:26 - Allison's Personal Journey with RLS 01:04 - Understanding the Root Causes of RLS 01:37 - Welcome to the Better Belly Podcast 02:48 - Common Misconceptions and Diagnosis 03:33 - Allison's Personal Experience with RLS 06:50 - Theories and Causes of RLS 09:23- Low Iron Levels and RLS 15:12 - Airway Development and RLS 21:27 - Other Contributing Factors to RLS 25:42 - Conclusion and How to Get Help EPISODES MENTIONED:72// Why Your Iron and Vitamin D Are Still Low – Even After Taking Supplements285// 2 Steps to Reversing Your Acid Reflux (for good!)48// Got snoring, sleep apnea, TMJ, or teeth grinding?

Are you struggling with chronic conditions like chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, or IBS? Or - do you have a history of kidney stones, osteopenia / osteoporosis, depression, or anxiety? Have you tried to eliminate these conditions or symptoms and wondered why your body just won’t respond — no matter what you do? You’ve changed your diet. You’ve tried probiotics, detoxes, counseling, or gut health protocols… but your energy’s still low, your mood’s still off, and you feel stuck inside your own body. What if I told you your body might be trapped behind something called a calcium shell? A calcium shell is one of the most powerful patterns I see on HTMA testing — and it can explain everything from chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, brain fog, depression, and anxiety, to constipation, bloating, IBS, kidney stones, and even osteoporosis or osteopenia. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the right things but your body just isn’t budging — this episode is going to open your eyes. In this episode, you’ll learn:What a calcium shell isCommon causes of calcium shellsWhy so many people with hidden copper toxicity or thyroid issues have it without knowing I'll also cover what you need to do to reverse calcium shells — and why breaking through a calcium shell can completely change how your body responds to food, supplements, and stress. So if you’ve ever felt “Something’s missing” in your healing journey — this might be it! Let’s dive in. TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Introduction: Are You Struggling with Chronic Conditions? 00:36 - Understanding the Calcium Shell 01:40 - Welcome to the Better Belly Podcast 02:50 - Client Requests and Podcast Purpose 04:00 - What is a Calcium Shell? 06:34 - Symptoms and Case Study 12:17 - Testing for Calcium Shells 20:48 - Causes of Calcium Shells 28:45 - Treatment and Long-Term Solutions 34:19 - Client Success Story and Conclusion  EPISODES MENTIONED:274// Is Iodine Deficiency causing your constipation or hypothyroidism?159// Copper Toxicity: A Hidden Cause Behind Constipation & PMS148// The Oxalate Episode: Why You Should Care About Oxalates76// Heal Your Fibromyalgia [Testimonial – Sharon Pt. 1]40// Reduce Acid Reflux with the Magic Power of Zinc285// 2 Steps to Reversing Your Acid Reflux (for good!)237// C.
