In this episode I discuss:
- Wendy’s story of gut issues, brain symptoms, chronic fatigue, and addiction struggles and why she sees this as all connected to nutrition, lifestyle and nervous system dysregulation.
- Why the Functional Diagnostic Nutrition approach is so powerful at helping clients reach their health goals.
- Why the DIY approach to fixing your health issues actually costs you more time and money, compared to hiring the right practitioner to help.
- The role childhood trauma, ACES, and attachment issues plays in physical health issues.
- Mental health can be improved through improving nutrition and removing food triggers.
- Most processed foods have additives that make them very addictive, along with promoting inflammation in the gut and brain.
- Why simple habit changes one-by-one and walking can be so helpful in supporting mental health
- Why toxin avoidance is imperative for physical health and mental health
- You can know what to do with your diet, but that knowledge is worthless if you don’t know how to apply it to reach your health goals
- Wheat sensitivity is linked with more than just gut symptoms, and the majority of people with wheat sensitivities don’t have gut symptoms
