Are you set up to achieve your highest grossing month while also on maternity leave?

In this episode of the Love Your Gut Podcast, I talk about how becoming a mother changed my business, and the importance of investing in yourself first.

I started changing my mindset the day after my daughter was born and I realized that I didn't want to go back to working the way that I was before.

Whether you invest in my program or someone else's, this will not happen by accident. You need to develop the tools in place to allow your business to grow when you need to take a step away, whether it is to have a baby, to address unexpected personal matters, or just because you want to take time off.

Her formal bachelor's degree in psychology combined with extensive training and certifications from ICF accredited Health Coach Institute, plus over 500+ hours of yoga teacher training (as well as a God-given gift of deep empathy and life-altering experiences at a young age, such as abandonment, bankruptcy, suicide, and divorce) has set her up to be able to hold space for deep self-reflection and transformation, without judgment.

She has successfully combined the latest studies and science of gut health and behavioral psychology with her deep emotional and spiritual knowing to heal from autoimmune disease and experience a life of true health and abundance... and is ready to show you exactly how to do the same.

Ep. 6: 3 Reasons why your SIBO keeps coming back May 17, 2022

What is SIBO? SIBO is small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. It can cause unwanted bloating, fatigue, constipation, diarrhea, gas, nutritional deficiencies and more. And it’s one of the most common reasons that clients are experiencing their digestive symptoms. The traditional method for treating SIBO is to take antibiotics for 2-4 weeks to "kill" the SIBO and potentially to do an elimination diet. But this standard of care does not work for a couple reasons: 1) It’s not addressing the root cause of the SIBO 2) It is not empowering you as the client to understand how to prevent it from coming back 3) It is only addressing the small intestine
SIBO is a symptom, not a root cause like you may have been told.

In this episode of Love Your Gut podcast, if you feel completely stuck with your SIBO I want to give you some insight as to why your SIBO keeps coming back, what you can do about that, and then some actionable tips at the end of what you can do now while you're working on actually clearing your SIBO. So if you feel like you've tried all the antibiotics, all the herbals all the diets, everything this episode is for you. Tune in to hear more!
