Description

Ever wish you had a mama friend in your back pocket who wasn't afraid to talk about poop, vaginal infections, skin rashes, behavioral issues and everything in between? Someone who speaks about common symptoms clearly and gives you natural ideas of how to actually heal from the root (hello gut bacteria!) instead of masking? And I am not talking about essential oils here. While those have their place, I am talking deeper stuff - like causes, prevention and finding overall balance. As a mama to four I have gone through the ups and downs of sleepless nights, undiagnosed symptoms, gotten the complete runaround from the medical system and have found a different way. This podcast will empower you to heal your family. New episodes will be released every Tuesday morning. They will be short enough that you can probably time them perfectly with your cold cup of coffee and dry shampoo routine. Make sure you are subscribed so you automatically get my latest episodes. Sending you a big mama hug!

When silver was first introduced to me as a way to heal my son’s health issues, I was scared. A quick Google search overwhelmed me with warnings and horror stories about silver being unsafe. But desperation to heal my child pushed me to dig deeper. What I discovered not only transformed his health but also became the foundation for the healing work I share with ōNLē ORGANICS. This week on Follow Your Gut, I sit down with Doug, the expert and manufacturing partner behind our alkaline structure...

We are constantly bombarded with toxins - everything from pollution and chemicals to harmful pathogens. That’s why supporting your body’s natural detoxification is more important than ever. And I’m not necessarily talking about detox protocols or programs.

This episode is all about how to support that s...
Recurring infections like UTIs, vaginal yeast infections, mastitis, and ear infections are more than just frustrating and painful - they are signals that something deeper is going on in the body. They show up, go away for a while, and then come back with even more intensity. If you’ve dealt with this cycle, you know it can feel relentless, and the questions loom: why do they keep coming back? What is happening inside the body that makes us so prone to this cycle of infection, treatment, and...
Healing isn’t a quick fix. It’s a journey, and it can feel so isolating and overwhelming - especially when you’re trying to help your child heal. I know because I’ve been there, working through the endless nights of searching and hoping, visiting and investing in every kind of healthcare professional only to be faced with more questions than answers. When my son was struggling, I found myself in a place of such deep need, not only for practical guidance but for validation and reassurance - re...
Are you living with unwanted worms wriggling around inside of you and don’t even know it? Parasites are more common than most people realize. In fact, it’s estimated that billions worldwide, and millions in the United States alone, are infected with various types of parasites. These microscopic organisms are not just an issue in developing countries. Despite the general assumption that parasites are more of a "third-world problem," they are a reality here, too. We’ve been conditioned t...

You’ll learn actionable s...
From the moment we’re born, most of us are conditioned to think of poop as something gross. Our parents wrinkle their noses, say “pee-yew,” and make faces as they change our diapers. It’s no surprise that culturally, we grow up viewing poop as something disgusting that we’d rather avoid talking about. But today, I want to help you shift this perspective. Your poop is an incredible window into your internal health. It provides important clues about how your gut is functioning, whether you're a...
What if your child’s hyperactivity, behavioral issues, or even your own anxiety and brain fog aren’t what they seem?

In this episode, we are diving into the direct connection between your gut and your brain. About how your gut impacts your thoughts and brain function and how your brain impacts your gut. It’s called the gut-brain axis, and when ...
If you’ve ever stood in the supplement aisle feeling overwhelmed by all the probiotic options, you’re not alone. There are so many and they all promise so much - better digestion, stronger immunity, overall wellness - but something that might surprise you: most probiotics don’t actually work. It’s not that probiotics themselves aren’t beneficial; it’s the way most of them are made and what's in them. In this episode, we are diving deep into everything you need to know so you don't waste...

When it comes to managing asthma, the focus is always on medications and avoiding triggers. No one seems to be talking about the role gut health plays. ​ And whether you or your child suffer from asthma or not, something everyone should know is that your gut has a direct impact on inflammation and immune function, two driving factors in asthma. So what if, by addressing gut health, we can help reduce the on set, severity and frequency of asthma attacks? ​ From heavy metal and toxin exposure...

If you’re new to silver supplements, you may be curious to learn all you can. And if you’ve heard of silver before, you’re probably familiar with colloidal silver - one of the most well-known types. But just like with everything - not all types of silver supplements are equal. In this episode we are breaking down the difference between colloidal silver and alkaline structured silver. Understanding these differences can greatly impact how effectively these supplements work for you. Links fro...
We often blame dark circles and puffy eyes on lack of sleep, stress, or genetics - and while those can definitely play a role, they’re not the whole story. What you might not realize is that your gut health is also a big participant in how those dark circles form. And the same goes for our children. So if you’ve tried everything - from getting more sleep and cutting down on stress to trying every eye cream on the market - and those stubborn shadows or puffiness just won’t go away, it’s time t...
I’ll never forget the moment my midwife first mentioned CBD to me. I was six months pregnant, eagerly anticipating the arrival of my fourth baby, but I couldn’t shake the anxiety about the postpartum period. My previous experiences had been marked by intense hormone swings, mood shifts, and an overwhelming sense of being lost in a fog. I was already grieving the time I knew I would miss with my three other children as I braced myself for the inevitable postpartum haze. I’m sharing this story ...
The title of this episode is You Will Never Fully Heal if You Don’t Do This. Any guesses? Let me give you a hint: It has nothing to do with what you eat, the supplements you take, or even your genetics. It’s not about the possible mold in your home or the level of stress in your life. So, what is it? It’s something far more subtle yet incredibly powerful - your mindset. The way you think and what you believe about your ability to heal will make all the difference. It doesn’t matter how many...
So, you’ve just completed a gut rebalancing journey with my Women’s or Children’s Gut Rebalance Kits - congratulations! You've taken a beautiful step towards better health for you and your family.

When you or your child experience persistent symptoms - whether it’s digestive discomfort, skin issues, mood swings, or chronic fatigue - you might not immediately connect these issues to your gut. I experienced this firsthand. After battling the healthcare system and fighting for my son's health for two and a half long, arduous years, I finally learned that his eczema, acid reflux, sour-smelling poop, chronic diarrhea, restless sleep, developmental delays, food cravings, sensory issues, an...
Most of us have been told that morning sickness is just a part of pregnancy, but today’s guest Jes is here to challenge this. As the founder of The Wellness Element and a board-certified holistic health care practitioner, Jes is on a mission to transform how we approach morning sickness and a more severe form known as Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG). Through Jes’s pregnancy and experience with morning sickness and HG she discovered that it’s actually not something you have to live with, nor shoul...
I took my son to every kind of healthcare professional. Over a two-and-a-half-year period, we spent over $20,000 trying to figure out what was causing his symptoms and how to heal his body. We tried every herbal remedy. We went to an Ayurvedic doctor. We went to a functional medicine doctor. We did a six-month tele-health program with a nutritionist. We did allergy testing. We tried every elimination diet. I know many of you are on this same journey. You have tried what feels like ever...

Knowing when your child’s gut or your gut is in balance is a really important part of not only healing your body but also learning how to live in a state of absolute thriving. Some people find their way here after years of struggling with symptoms, others with an appreciation of how significant the microbiome is and a desire to learn more. But the one thing everyone has in common is the questions they ask: “How will I know when I am in balance? How will I know when my gut is healed? Ho...
Bloating is a common and uncomfortable sensation that many people experience. We all know that feeling when your stomach is swollen, tight, and full of gas. And while occasional bloating can be a normal response to certain foods or hormone fluctuations, chronic bloating indicates a deeper issue - an imbalance in your gut microbiome. If you’ve been around for a while or have a basic understanding of your gut, you know that your microbiome is a complex community of trillions of microorganisms, ...
Have you ever been around someone whose energy is so vibrant and radiant that they seem to be glowing and living on a different wavelength? You find yourself wondering how they do it. Maybe you know this person a little more intimately and notice that life always seems to fall into place for them, from always getting that cosmic parking spot right up front at the grocery store to having their family trips go without any hiccups. They appear to live a perfect life. Were they just born lucky? A...
Rebalancing your gut is a life changing experience but it's important to know that sometimes symptoms get worse before they get better. For some people, healing can look like a few steps back before moving forward. It can sometimes bring about uncomfortable symptoms that may seem counterproductive. This is known as die-off, or a Herxheimer reaction. While it might feel discouraging, it's actually a sign that your body is undergoing a significant transformation. The term "die-off" or Herxheime...
Back in April I sat down with my dear friend and former life and business coach, Kate Saffle. We recorded this episode for The Fully in it Podcast but Kate and I decided it should be shared here as well.

This episode serves as a reminder of the beating hearts behind small busine...
Rebalancing your gut while pregnant and breastfeeding is a topic that tends to be quite controversial. There is a narrative that says how dangerous it is to cleanse while pregnant and breastfeeding but a whole side that no one talks about is how dangerous it is to have parasites, an overgrowth of bad bacteria, pathogens, and yeast in your body while growing and nourishing a baby. In the early 1900s, 1 in 100 women experienced depression in their lifetime. Today it is 1 in 4. 1 in 2 chi...
I remember when my son was covered head to toe in the most itchy red rash. He was just a few weeks old and would scratch himself so badly that he would be dripping in blood if I looked away for even a minute. Even though I had put those little mittens on him. He was so uncomfortable he couldn’t sleep and would scream in pain for hours on end. If you or your child suffer from eczema, you are well aware that western medicines go-to solution is steroid creams. The problem with this is tha...

Everyone knows that mold isn’t good. But there is an important part that no one’s talking about. Mold exposure is often associated with respiratory issues and allergies. But there is a missing link here. Mold doesn’t just bam, cause allergies and skin rashes. No. Something happens inside the body when you are exposed to mold. This something causes inflammation and disrupts the communication within your body. So what is this something? Tune in to learn because if you you don't address it...
Food and environmental allergies are at an all time high. We all know someone who suffers from severe allergies. Maybe you do? Or maybe your child? Maybe you have been to the allergist and have a long list of allergies or maybe you are just beginning to uncover what might be behind your and your child’s symptoms. The thing with allergies is that unless they genetically run in your family, there is a way you can heal your body. No one really talks about this though. At best, your child’s...
Did you know that while in utero, a babies gut is sterile? They don’t have good bacteria or bad bacteria. During birth, they are exposed to their mother's microbiome when they pass through the vaginal canal. This initial inoculation kickstarts the colonization of the baby's gut with beneficial bacteria, laying the foundation for that child’s immune system and overall health. Unfortunately many of us unknowingly have an overgrowth of bad bacteria, yeast and even parasites that we pass along. ...
Here are some alarming statistics for you: 67% of the average child's diet is highly processed junk food and 1 in 2 children have a chronic health condition. There is absolutely a direct connection.

On top of her eczema, she is now experiencing Topical Steroid Withdrawal Syndrome. If you or your child suffer from an inflammatory s...
It’s so easy to measure the healing of visual symptoms like skin rashes, constipation and diarrhea. It gets a lot harder to measure the improvement of your mood, sleep or your children’s behavior. These tend to be symptoms that when they are present they are all consuming but as soon as they go away, you hardly remember how challenging they were. You can’t take pictures or compare side by side. But when you witness the transformation like our guest, Bridget, did in her son - you sing it from ...

Constipation

2024-04-0215:08

There tends to be two types of poopers. People who are more prone to constipation and those who are more prone to diarrhea. Contrary to what your doctor will mostly likely tell you though, the answer isn’t a laxative like Miralax or a fiber supplement. These are bandaids that don’t heal your body. Your body isn’t constipated because it needs a laxative. The body gets constipated when something is off inside. Your poop is a direct reflection of your internal health and if you, your child or...
