    315// Low FODMAP Diet Not Working for IBS? Do This Instead

    Is IBS still running your life - even though you’ve tried the low FODMAP diet? Are you cutting out more and more foods, following all the “rules", taking probiotics or supplements, and still dealing with bloating, indigestion, and abdominal pain? Or maybe the low FODMAP diet worked at first, but now your IBS symptoms are creeping back in and you’re wondering, why did it stop working? If you said yes to any of these questions, this episode is for you. Today, we’re talking about one of the most recommended IBS treatments out there: the IBS low FODMAP diet. This was the diet I put myself on in 2015 when my IBS, constipation, and bloating started. It was the diet I followed perfectly for 2 years because it helped reduce my symptoms, but it never fully healed my gut, and every time I tried to reintroduce foods, all my symptoms came rushing back. Now, after working with hundreds of clients with IBS for over 8 years, I've heard this story over and over and over again. So on today's episode, I'm diving into WHY the low FODMAP diet is not working for thousands of people with IBS (likely millions) - and what to do instead to find IBS relief. In today's episode, we’ll talk about: What the low FODMAP diet isWho developed itHow the low FODMAP diet for IBS theoretically is supposed to workWhy, for many people, the low FODMAP diet isn't helpingWhat to do instead to find your real IBS causes and get the IBS treatment you need to permanently reverse your IBS Because removing foods isn’t the same thing as healing your gut. And if your low FODMAP diet isn’t working… there’s a reason. Let’s go find it.

    312// The Constipation Epidemic in America: What We’re Getting Wrong and How to Find Real Constipation Relief

    Are you currently struggling with constipation, yet nothing you've done to heal it has worked? Have you been told that if you just ate more fiber, drank more water, or took the right supplement that you’d finally find constipation relief - but nothing is actually changing? Or maybe you’re doing all the “right” gut health things (chewing your food, cutting out gluten or dairy, eating organic) and yet you’re still constipated, bloated, and wondering what you’re missing? If you said yes to any of these questions, this episode is for you. Today, we’re talking about a slow and silent epidemic that is costing our nation, and individuals, hundreds of thousands of dollars and hours in the workplace, family, and our communities: the constipation epidemic in America. Even though rates of constipation have been rising for decades, and even though more people than ever actively pursuing healthier gut health practices, we’re not seeing improvement. According to research done in 2023 by Ipsos, 20% of Americans feel they are at a dead end in their healing. In this episode, I'm diving into the American constipation epidemic. I'll be going through: research revealing just how bad the constipation epidemic iswhat this same research is suggesting is the cause of constipationwhat I see is being missed by research in understanding the true causes of constipationwhy so many approaches to natural constipation relief keep falling short If what we’re being told to do to relieve constipation actually worked, wouldn’t we be seeing different results by now? If you’re tired of guessing, tired of quick fixes that don’t stick, and ready to understand what’s really going on in your body - you don't want to miss this episode.

    311// Still Have Diverticulosis on a High Fiber Diet? Here's why

    Have you been following a high fiber diet, but you recently got a colonoscopy - and you still have diverticulosis? Or - have you been told that the reason you have diverticulosis is because your constipated, but no matter how much fiber, magnesium, water, or probiotics you take, you just won't poop? Does your diverticulosis diagnosis worry you, or do you worry you'll develop it because of constipation - but you don't know what to do to do properly protect yourself? Or simply help yourself poop? If you said yes to any of these questions, this episode is for you. Today, I'm discussing a pattern I've seen in my constipated clients for the last 8 years - and it's once that impacts both the chronic constipation communities AND those with diverticulosis. The best part? Research from the National Institute of Health backs up the EXACT observation I've been seeing in constipated clients and those with diverticulosis - and the findings are WILD. In this episode, I'm going to break down: Why a high fiber diet doesn’t automatically fix diverticulosis or constipationWhat constipation is really telling you about your gut What I recommend you can do to protect your gut if have diverticulosisWhy natural constipation remedies might not be working for you - and what you can do to permanently find constipation relief If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of trying harder with no results, your body isn't broken. You CAN poop again - and live worry-free from your gut. If you’re ready to stop guessing, stop piling on more fiber, keep listening. It's time to heal your gut.

    310// Chronic Illness and Depression: How to Find Hope Again

    Have you ever found yourself wondering, “Can I ever hope again?" Have you been doing everything you know how to do to heal - and yet the emotional weight of chronic illness still feels crushing? Or maybe you wouldn’t even call it depression… but you feel numb, exhausted, or like hope just doesn’t come as easily as it used to. If you said yes to any of those questions, this episode is for you. Today’s episode closes out our series exploring the emotional weight of chronic illness. No protocols. No strategies. No fixing. In this Discipleship Series, I’ve been sharing the things that anchored me on my journey toward wholeness — even in seasons where I felt like I was making absolutely no progress. The goal is simple: to slow down and talk about the matters of the heart. To sit together for a moment and ask — with who you are right now, not the future healed version of you — how do you tend your heart? How do you find hope again when chronic illness and depression feel intertwined? This is for you if you’ve been sick for months or years. And if you’re not sure you’d call yourself chronically ill, but you’ve been carrying something heavy for a long time, this is for you too. In today’s episode, we’re diving into: Chronic illness and depressionWhat to do when hope feels dangerous or painfulHow to balance the emotion of hope without devalidating or suppressing your personal experienceSharing my personal story of how I found hope in the middle of chronic pain, loneliness, no answers, and no reason to see a future where anything was different 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 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, meaning, and hope in the middle of a hard season. I hope this blesses you.

About

***TOP 1% GLOBAL PODCAST*** Do you want to be able to poop everyday like a normal person? Are you tired of relying on medication to poop daily, manage your acid reflux, or balance your hormones? Are you tired of worrying about your health, wondering if something might be deeper going on that your doctor isn't finding? Are you ready to know EXACTLY what to do to end your constipation & acid reflux and balance your hormones naturally - without wasting any more money, time, or effort on remedies that don't work? In this podcast, you will find gut health solutions to set you free from constipation, bloating, acid reflux, PMS, infertility, anxiety about leaving home, and wasted time, energy, and money on solutions that don't work. My mission is to equip you to feel confident and comfortable in your body through all natural gut health remedies, simple belly massage and exercises, and Functional Medicine advice - that work! If you’re ready to say YES to feeling better, being comfortable in your own skin, and free from second-guessing about every food you eat - then you’re in the right place! Hey, I’m Allison. Mom, wife, Functional Health Practitioner, and lover of Jesus. For 2 years, I tried to fix my chronic constipation and IBS through the low FODMAP diet and doctor visits. I thought the only way I could fix my gut was through food, probiotics, and a restricted lifestyle. I finally realized that there is more to constipation and bloating than just food restrictions and doctor visits. I discovered a 3-step process that not only addressed MY chronic constipation, bloating, acid reflux, and hormone imbalance but also worked for my clients, too. Now - I’m ready to share it with you! If you are ready to find all natural remedies to constipation, bloating, acid reflux, and hormone imbalance that continue to work after you’ve done them - then this podcast is for you! Put on your comfiest clothes and plug this in for your next car ride. It’s time to fix your gut!
