    5 Common Root Causes of Chronic Bloating and Constipation (that have nothing to do with food)

    Chronic bloating that persists even when you're eating a clean diet is frustrating! In this episode of The Nourished Way Podcast, I uncover the 5 most common root causes of chronic bloating and irregular bowel movements that you probably haven't explored. If you’ve tried eliminating foods, taking digestive enzymes, adding in more fiber, probiotics, or other supplements and you’re still bloated, this episode is for you.  We’re going to discuss reasons that are not related to food including low stomach acid, bacterial imbalances, nervous system dysregulation, and suboptimal thyroid function. Some of these are going to surprise you! The juicy goods in this episode: Certain processed foods can trigger bloating but when it's chronic, there are usually deeper imbalances going onPoor digestive function including low stomach acid and enzymes lead to bloating even if you're eating cleaner than anyone you knowMicrobial imbalances including candida overgrowth, and bacterial overgrowth is a common cause of chronic gut issuesChronic stress and living in fight or flight directly impacts digestion and the microbiomeConstipation (less than 1 complete BM a day) can cause gas, bloating, and recirculation of toxins and hormonesElimination diets can temporarily reduce symptoms temporarily but they don't address the root causes and are not sustainableLinks:  Book a strategy call with Danielle here!

    Inflammation, Prostaglandins and Painful Periods: Addressing the Root Causes

    For many of us, our period is a dreaded time of the month and I’ve been there. For 15 years, I had excruciating period pain, heavy bleeding that kept me from leaving the house and acne breakouts before every cycle. In this episode, I’m breaking down the connection between chronic inflammation and heavy and painful periods. You'll learn all about prostaglandins, why these sneaky little chemical messengers are responsible for your period cramps and how they become elevated in the first place.  Plus, I'm sharing holistic options that can provide pain relief, how to be pro-active with reducing period pain and some of my favorite period products. I had no idea pain-free periods were even possible for me but my periods no longer cause me any discomfort or interrupt my life in anyway. If this is possible for me, I know it's possible for you, too.  Anti-inflammatory guide (+ discount code for The Period Protocol) Check out The Period Protocol Episode: Blood Sugar Imbalances: The Overlooked Cause of PMS and Period Pain Ginger capsules (NFH Ginger SAP) Castor oil wraps  Interested in working together with functional lab testing?

    Why your periods are awful and natural remedies to fix period pain

    For many of us, our period can feel a dreaded time of the  month and I’ve been there. For 15 years, I felt totally disconnected from my cycle (thanks, hormonal birth control and lack of education) and struggled with horribly painful periods. In this episode, I’m breaking down what’s normal (and what’s not) when it comes to your period. I’ll also cover the causes of heavy, painful bleeding, the role of prostaglandins, natural ways to ease cramps, my go-to period pain remedies, and more. While my period isn’t perfect now, it no longer leaves me bedridden and PMS is a thing of the past. Wherever you are on your cycle journey, I hope this episode helps you feel more informed, empowered, and connected to your body. Recommendations mentioned in the episode and a breakdown of inflammation and liver support can be found in this free guide!
