How To Rewire Your Mindset If You Get Injured.. Feb 17, 2023

Show notes

I dislocated my knee two weeks and torn the MCL..

Fortunately, or unfortunately (depending on your perspective), this isn't my first injury..

I know the rehabilitation process at this stage and anyone who has ever got injured knows the same..

But that wasn't the part I struggled with the most..

It was the mental side of injury or having to supportive mindset that could help me recover..

Often, especially in my late teens/early twenties I would get full blown circumstantial depression from being injured..

Thankfully I've worked on my mindset a lot over the years and know reframe injuries as opportunities.

Today's podcast is the four ways that I do that.

#418: The IBS Dietitian Kirsten Jackson on The Problem With Low FODMAP Diets, Common Food Triggers and How To Finally Take Control Of Your IBS! Jan 30, 2023

Show notes

Kirsten is a UK registered dietitian specializing in irritable bowel syndrome.

After realizing that the low FODMAP diet was only part of the answer, she developed the Take Control method which incorporates a more holistic approach to support IBS sufferers.

Here are some of the things we talked about in today's show:

· The problem with low FODMAP diets and what its missing

· The supplements that may help (and the questions to ask before you start them)

· Biggest food triggers (and why they may not be the ones you think)

· The link between stress, sleep and IBS

· The mixed opinion topics – coffee, caffeine and fasting with IBS
