Do you have chronic sinusitis?

Have your allergies and congestion gotten worse over the past few years?

Do you want to find the ROOT CAUSE to your sinus and congestion problems so you can ditch your medication?

If so, you are like Kaysha, the winner of our Spring Giveaway.

Kaysha has chronic sinusitis, allergies, and congestion. She notices things improve when she cleans up her diet or doesn't eat at all (AKA: fasting), so she knows there's a connection to her gut. How can she find the root cause of her sinusitis?

This week, I am releasing a BONUS episode for you to listen to my conversation with Kaysha just two days before the Better Belly Blueprint closes it's doors for enrollment. The Better Belly Blueprint is my online course + group coaching program that teaches you EVERYTHING I recommend Kaysha to do when it comes to healing her gut.

19 Aug 202155// The One and Only Question You Need to Ask to Know If You Have a Gut Pathogen00:25:35

There’s ONE question to ask to know if you have a pathogen.

This question is a good litmus test if you're wondering if you have a parasite, bacterial overgrowth, H. Pylori, Candida, C. Diff., or even the infamous Blastocystis Hominis.

Have I, to the best of my ability and knowledge, done all the right things to make myself feel better, but don’t feel better?

That’s it.

If, despite ALL the things you’ve done, you don’t feel better - there’s probably something invisible going on.

If you’ve answered YES to this episode’s question, tune in! Let’s break down specific things you may be doing or have done for your health and where to look next!

23 Jan 2025248// How to Have a Strong Legal Case Against Toxic Mold, with Lawyer Kristina Baehr00:54:29

Have you ever wondered if you could get legal compensation for your exposure to toxic mold?

Do you feel like your toxic mold exposure situation might be due to the negligence of another party, but don't know any lawyers willing to represent you in your mold case?

If you said yes to either of these, then you don't want to miss today's episode!

Wrapping up our recent mini-series on mold, today I am so excited to introduce to you lawyer and founder of JustWell Law - Kristina Baehr.

Kristina is a national trial lawyer who represents sick people against the companies that made them sick. She founded her law firm, Just Well Law, to help clients recover financially so that they can rebuild their health and their lives.

Kristina is used to high profile, high stakes litigation. At a national trial firm, she represented plaintiffs in bet-the-company cases like Trilogy against SAP, the Medical University of South Carolina against AstraZeneca, Ericsson against Samsung, and TiVo against Comcast. These cases resulted in over $1 billion in revenue for their clients. And from 2015-2019, she was honored by her peers as a Texas Rising Star among lawyers.

After tragedy hit her own family, she founded Just Well Law to help other families in crisis. She built the personal injury firm she couldn’t find for her own family. Health and wellness require financial resources, and Kristina is relentless in pursuing the maximum recovery for her clients because she has been there too. ​

If you've been wracking your brain wondering how or if you could ever get legal representation around your toxic mold exposure - then this episode is for you!

09 Jan 2025246// How This Air Filter STOPPED Her Toxic Mold Symptoms from Escalating, with Lynne Furtado00:59:25

Following up on last week's episode, I am continuing on with our mini-series here on air filters and toxic mold.

On today's episode, I'm interviewing Lynne Furtado. Lynne Furtado is a former Fortune 100 Executive whose own path through a moldy home and the aftermath led her to focusing on helping others on their own path through dealing with mold.

As she and her husband Edward navigated the messy and uncharted path to healing from mold, they discovered one tool that has become indispensable for them: the Hi-Tech Air Reactor.

With a background in legal and a keen nose for sniffing out false claims and bad science, Lynne and her scientist-engineer husband Edward are breaking down the science behind and legitimacy of the Hi-Tech Air Reactor over the next two episodes.

But before we dig TOO much into the science, Lynne will be sharing today her personal story with mold and how, after decades of dealing with chronic illness (much of which she now reflects was likely driven by mold), this one product, the Hi-Tech Air Reactor, changed her life.

I hope you love this episode as MUCH as I did, as you get to hear another wonderful success story of fighting mold and, hopefully, get some actionable tidbits for you to use yourself as you try to navigate and heal as quickly as possible from mold illness.

17 Mar 202283// The IBS-Fibromyalgia Connection: How to See Invisible Pain and Heal Your Body00:47:41

According to research done by UCLA, up to 60% of patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) also have Fibromyalgia, and up to 70% of patients with Fibromyalgia have IBS. 

Having struggled with IBS myself, I remember in my worst years wondering if I ALSO had Fibromyalgia. 

Brain fog. Fatigue. Chronic pain. Stiffness. Depression. I had it all.

Over my years working with clients with IBS or other gut health problems, I've also seen an increasing number of my IBS clients who  have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia - or have Fibromyalgia-like symptoms. As I worked more with these clients and took extra courses in functional medicine, I was surprised to learn that there IS a link between Fibromyalgia AND IBS. 

The amazing part of this news?

The link between Fibro and IBS is part of the answer to healing both of them. At the same time. 

On today's episode, I cover the two invisible (but findable!) sources of pain, brain fog, and fatigue in both Fibromyalgia AND IBS.

On this episode, you'll learn:

  • How to test for these invisible sources of pain
  • How they got in your body in the first place
  • And steps you can take to get them out

I hope you're ready - because this episode is about to blow your mind!

13 Jan 202276// Heal Your Fibromyalgia - Client Testimonial with my client Sharon00:21:08

According to the Center for Disease Control in America, Fibromyalgia currently affects about 4 million US adults, or about 2% of the American population.

Of these cases, 75-90% of those diagnosed with Fibromyalgia are women.

Fibromyalgia is a pain disorder with unknown causes and origins, and for anyone diagnosed with it in the US, most solutions for fibromyalgia are focused on mediating pain - not healing it.

On today’s episode, I interviewed my client Sharon, who was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in her 40’s. Since then, she has tried everything she knew to try to help her chronic fatigue, pain, stiffness, and brain fog. Diet, food restrictions, doctors, medications, supplements, hydrotherapy, massage - you name it.

Now, just three months into working with me in my signature Foundations Program, Sharon has NO pain, is able to exercise 5 days a week, and she has achieved her main goal in our work - to be able to attend her granddaughter’s soccer games.

I am SO excited to share today's podcast episode with you!

28 Dec 2023179// 5 Steps to Make Health Easy in 2024: My Health Plan for 2024, and How You Can Achieve Your Health Goals Using Functional Medicine, too00:31:42

Was your health WAY to difficult to manage in 2023?

Are you ending 2023 feeling overwhelmed or discouraged by your health?

If so, you may benefit from having a health plan for 2024.

At the beginning of 2023, I shared my health goals for the year in Episode 122.

A few weeks ago, I shared my update on how my health goals went for 2023 and how I did it all with MINIMAL effort and without completely exhausting myself.

Today, I'm opening up my life and sharing my health plans for 2024. I'm also sharing with you how I determined my health goals for 2024, what I'm doing to prep to hit them, and how you can do all of this, too, with functional medicine.

As I made this episode, I was reminded of the quote from Benjamin Franklin: "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail."

Health DOESN'T have to be a guessing game or something random that happens TO you. You can actually have a PLANNED impact on your health, so you can no longer be a victim to your health but feel that health is not only on your side but EASY, too.

Whether you're newly on a health journey or have been at it for a while, it's time to make your health a whole lot easier.

18 Aug 2022105// Clear Your Kidney Stones, UTI's, and Interstitial Cystitis [Detox Pathway #2 - Kidney]00:51:54
  • Do you have to pee all the time?
  • Do you get UTI’s 1x per year or more?
  • Do you have problems with having symptoms of UTI’s, such as burning when you pee or a constant feeling that you need to pee, but your tests never come back positive for an infection?
  • Or - have you ever had a kidney stone? Or even multiple kidney stones?

If so, your kidneys may need some detox support!

On today’s episodes, we’re continuing our detox series on the 7 major pathways for detoxification with the KIDNEY.

Your kidneys and bladder are often forgotten about super-detoxers for the body. Your kidneys is responsible for filtering ALL of the blood in your body - up to 40 times per day! As it filters your blood, it pulls a variety of toxins and metabolic waste out; too much waste, though, and your kidneys and bladder can develop inflammation and toxic build-up resulting in pain, burning while urinating, and the all-feared kidney stones. Not only this, but those toxins that SHOULD be being filtered by the kidney may end up irritating other parts of your body as well. 

If you are struggling with hormone imbalance symptoms, bloating, skin flare-ups, foggyheadedness, or joint and muscle pain - your kidneys may be the detox pathway you MOST need to pump up today.

31 Aug 2023162// Constipation Remedies Not Working? Find Constipation Relief with These 4 Lab Tests00:24:15

Back in May, I had 15 students join me for the first round of Better Belly Blueprint, my online course + group coaching program that teaches you how to end bloating and constipation - for GOOD.

These women showed up with months to years of bloating and constipation behind them along with dozens of diets, doctor visits, and natural (or not-so-natural) constipation remedies that they had tried. In my course, I taught them how to order and analyze functional medicine lab tests that came straight to their homes. They also learned how to create a personalized health plan that would help them finally end their gut health problems, balance their hormones, and clear up their skin.

As I re-open the doors TODAY to the Better Belly Blueprint, I want to share with you EXACTLY what my students found on their labs. One of the most common reservations I find in men and women looking to heal their gut is, "But what if I don't find anything on my labs?"

If you are tired of that lame excuse from a doctor that "your labs look normal", and you're afraid you'll waste time and money and end up MORE frustrated than before by doing more lab work, then buckle up, because I'm going to share with you exactly HOW MUCH my students found and how YOU can find the same things and heal your gut permanently and find bloating and constipation relief.

23 Nov 2023174// One Habit to Start RIGHT NOW for Better Gut Health00:17:44

Recently in my Free Facebook Group, I was asked this question:

"What is the ONE habit I could add to my day right now to start toward better gut health?"

I thought it was a great question, so I made a podcast episode on this. I gave the question a lot of thought, and after collecting my thoughts from 100+ cases of men and women whom I've helped get rid of their most stubborn constipation, bloating, acne, autoimmune flares, eczema, chronic pain, fatigue, and more - I really hope my answer is refreshing to you. This is not the average advice you hear on blog posts about probiotics, going gluten free, or fiber. I hope my answer today removes unnecessary time and money spent and quickens you on your path to healing. Because if I had ONE piece of advice I could give to everyone, one habit to add right now to help you have better gut health, it'd be this.

I hope you love this episode.

02 May 2024197// How to Balance Postpartum Hormones After Pregnancy (Healthy Hormones Series #2)00:28:28

 

Back in January, I did a big poll to better understand the problems that you, my listeners, are currently dealing with. And one of the BIGGEST problems that came up was something I just really haven't talked a lot about yet - hormones.

There were four categories of hormonal questions that came up around: periods, pregnancy & postpartum, perimenopause, and PCOS.

I find that MOST conversations around these hormones make them sound SUPER complicated, but in reality, they can be explained, and supported, in SUPER simple ways.

So I wanted to create my own series showing you exactly how I think of and support my hormones and my clients hormones at each of these stages.

Today's topic is all about postpartum hormones. I'll be answering:

  • What exactly is going on it postpartum hormones
  • What is normal for a postpartum body
  • What is abnormal
  • How to naturally and gently balance postpartum hormones after pregnancy

Today is PART TWO in our Healthy Hormones Series focusing on Periods. Stay tuned for Part 3 and 4: Perimenopause, and PCOS.

Almost every woman will go through all these stages of hormones at some point in their life, or we know someone right now going through them. So be sure to stay tuned! You DON'T want to miss this series!

In your process of healing, have you found yourself saying, "This is too expensive for me"?

Have you had to say "no" to or delay buying a life-changing lab, supplement protocol, or program because of not being able to afford it?

If so, then this episode is for you.

The cost of healing is one of the most COMMON reasons I'm told by someone that they can't heal, so this month on the Better Belly Podcast, I'm dedicating every episode to tips and hacks for how to make healing for affordable.

On today's episode, I'm sharing my top 3 tips to accurately estimate how much it will cost you to heal.

This is a SUPER powerful skill because, like with all things, being able to anticipate the cost can help us prepare for it - whether it is buying a house, paying for college, or saving up for a new oven, knowing that general price range can help you to save and mentally prepare for the cost so that, once it comes, you CAN pay for it.

WITHOUT being able to accurately estimate how much it will cost you to heal, you end up over and over again with surprise bills and being not financially prepared to pay for what you want or need to pay for in your health. And this results in a cycle of never being able to pay for anything.

If you feel like you're drowning in health expenses, or you don't know what costs are good deals or not, then this episode is for you.

P.S. For even more tips and tricks for how to make your health more affordable, check out the shownotes where I've included previous episodes to guide you further in your healing journey.

29 Aug 2024227// Mold Success Story: How He Healed His Family from Toxic Mold Illness (ft. Matt Kelly, FP)00:47:35

Hear this toxic mold success story about how Matt completely healed his family from mold - even when ALL doctors had failed them.

---

In 2018, Matt and his wife Amy were woken up in the middle of the night by their son writhing with abdominal pain. Western medicine said he was a healthy young man and had no answers.

Matt eventually connected a moldy window in his sons room to his symptoms and started studying mold around the clock.

On today's episode, I'm having special guest Matt Kelly, Functional Health Practitioner, onto the Better Belly Podcast to come and personally tell the story of his and his families journey through MCAS, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), mold, and Lyme disease, getting no answers from conventional medicine, finding mold was at the center of it all, and popping out on the other side with, dare I say it, a happy ending.

I've personally had the honor to get to know Matt through a variety of connections. He's mentored me through some of my very first clients with Lyme disease, and I've gotten to absorb his wisdom and passion for healing clients from mold just by being in his amazing Toxic Mold Answers FB Group, which has EXPLODED in the number of people it serves over the last few years.

I am SO excited to introduce you to Matt and his and his family's incredible story of struggle, defeat, and triumph.

If you've been discouraged in your journey to heal your body from mold, Lyme, or if you don't even know what is making you sick, then it's time to dive into this story of hope about how one family escaped from mold and Lyme - and how you can, too.

03 Aug 2023158// How She Ended a Decade of Chronic Constipation in 1 Month00:28:29

When my client Ti came to me, she had been suffering from constipation for over a decade with NO relief. She had tried all the natural constipation remedies she could find, including exercise, belly massage, herbal laxatives, and prune juice. ALL with no improvement.

After just ONE MONTH of implementing my recommendations and individualized protocols we developed for her in my Foundations Program, Ti went from pooping once every few days to pooping EVERY day - sometimes MULTIPLE times a day!

Listen in to learn how Ti did it, what made that difference, and how you can end your constipation, too.

22 Jul 202151// How to Stop the Cycle of Trying Harder In Your Health00:58:12

Have you ever said this to yourself or to a friend?

  • “Despite all my efforts, I feel worse and worse.”
  • I’m doing “all the right things,” and no matter what - I don’t feel better
  • Before all this - exercise and being intentional with my diet made me feel better. Now - it has NO impact or makes me feel worse.

If so, you are like many of my clients. These are things that I REGULARLY hear when I start working with my clients. Once you get sick enough, there seems to be no correlation between effort and results. Yet - we’re tempted to either work even harder in our health or just give up completely (because hey, it’s not helping anyways).

However, It is EXACTLY this lack of correlation between effort and results that is a major sign that you may be working against yourself. There IS a better way. You actually are allowed to give up things to go up in health!

On today’s episode, I’m going to be describing exactly how and WHY simplifying life can actually make you feel and become healthier.

23 Jun 202297// IBS - Can You Really End It?00:26:16

Today's episode is recorded in honor of the fact that, of the 25 to 45 million people in the US diagnosed with IBS, there is very little conversation out there on how IBS can be put into remission. 

There is, instead, a resignation at most, or frustration at the least, that IBS is a permanent situation. 

Due to everything from doctors saying IBS is permanent to the years of struggle people undergo (even with trying multiple routes to try and quench their IBS such as the low FODMAP diet and probiotics), so many people with IBS that feel they are STUCK with their bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and food sensitivities.

I used to feel this way, myself, but after discovering (and researching my butt off) on the nature and origin of IBS, I found that not only had I found the secrets (aka: things not talked about on the internet or in my doctor’s office) to put my own IBS into remission, but I also was successfully helping others say goodbye to their IBS as well.

So today’s episode is dedicated to all of you out there who have ever been told by your doctor, nutritionist, family member, or even yourself that you just can’t get rid of your IBS. Because - you can.

25 Nov 202169// How to Naturally Lower Your Cholesterol - Without Having to Give Up Fat or Meat00:49:31

Our doctors constantly hammer us about our cholesterol. Are we eating too much meat? Red meat? Fatty meat? Egg yolks?

If our cholesterol is high, there’s shame and stigma surrounding that number. (PS. I have tons of slender, even “healthy”, clients with high cholesterol. Their doctors literally don’t know what to do with them).

If our cholesterol is fine, right now, we’re terrified of if it ever goes high.

If our cholesterol is low - doctor’s don’t even talk too much about that. But it happens. And it is something my clients - and you - may be dealing with.

I was really touched when one of our students on a Blood Lab Bootcamp live call shared that both she and her mom had high cholesterol. They were recommended by their doctors to take statins. They were hesitant to do so because statins have SO MANY SIDE EFFECTS and are a for-life drug.

This client of mine was FASCINATED by how much information was included in Blood Lab Bootcamp about all the reasons that cholesterol can be high and HOW MANY OPTIONS SHE HAD TO HELP LOWER IT. Options that were unrelated to statins, medication, OR shaming oneself into lower cholesterol!

In today's episode, I’m debunking cholesterol myths about:

  • Cholesterol’s link to food (it’s not linked to fatty food)
  • How cholesterol gets raised (and lowered!)
  • How balancing your cholesterol levels actually improves your ENTIRE HEALTH (not just heart health!)

12 Oct 2023168// 3 Morning Routine HACKS to Naturally Relieve Constipation00:23:32

On a recent group coaching call for my online course, the Better Belly Blueprint, we talked about how your morning routine can boost, or break, your ability to poop in the morning.

If you want to learn 3 HACKS in your morning routine to naturally relieve constipation - then this episode is for you.

Healing from mold is an emotional journey. Learn 3 tips for how to manage mold & emotions that come with it so you can keep moving forward!

---

We are now halfway through our Mold Month series this August, and I thought, before moving forward and giving you guy more practical advice, we'd pause and take a look at the #1 thing that I see BLOCK people from moving forward in their mold journey.

And that is...emotions.

In the episode right before this one, I broke down for you a super simple, super effective mold treatment plan that works every time. However, because of the nature of mold and inherent steps involved in healing from it, I frequently see people paralyzed in moving forward in their mold journey

In today's episode, I'm first sharing the top 4 most common emotions I see coming up for people as they face mold, and then I'm sharing my top 3 recommendations to overcome these emotions (not suppress them) to help yourself be able to continue to take steps towards healing from mold every single day.

If you think you're sick from mold or KNOW you're sick from mold but have found yourself in a stand-still in healing, then this episode is for you.

22 Apr 202138// 4 Reasons Saying "I Should" Is Keeping You Sick01:14:20

Thus far on the podcast, I’ve talked about the physical and biochemical part of my journey - from my health downfall to uprising. What I haven’t spent much time talking about is the IMMENSE work I have done to spiritually and psychologically heal myself. Yes, I had to remove a parasite from my body and heal my leaky gut. But I believe 100% that if I ONLY had come at my healing from a physiological perspective, I would not be experiencing the health I enjoy today!

This episode, let’s talk about the mental component of health!

By no means is every sickness coming from the mind, but also, the mind - including subconscious processes and emotions - cannot be extricated from ANY experience of the body, be it pain or pleasure, sickness or health, success or failure.

I encourage you to always seek a happier, healthier mindset even as you seek a happier, and healthier, body.

If you haven’t gotten better. If you have spent thousands of dollars trying to find the root cause of your health problems, if you truly want to live a vibrant life and learn new ways to engage with yourself and the world - press in. Listen. Give yourself grace. And KEEP LOOKING.

Don’t stop … Don’t stop… DON’T stop looking for answers.

24 Mar 202284// A New Way to Address IBS: Combining Craniosacral Therapy and Visceral Manipulation with Functional Lab Testing00:38:56

If you have IBS, you have experience with it NOT being a straight-forward diagnosis to get rid of.
 


Or bury.
 


Or heal.


You have probably tried everything recommended by doctors, nutritionists, and blog posts online. 
 


--> The Low FODMAP diet. Colonoscopies. Endoscopies. Gluten free. Dairy free. More fiber. More water. Less stress. 


You name it - you've done it.


But have you done THIS therapy?


You might ask - 


What therapy, Allison?


I'm talking about Craniosacral Therapy and Visceral Manipulation. AND Functional Lab Testing. Together.


This is a POWERFUL combo of therapies for our clients with IBS. Just this week, I had a client tell me that her constipation had completely cleared up after a session of Visceral Manipulation with me. In that session, we worked on restrictions in her chest (her chest!) that was impacting her large intestine via her diaphragm and restricted breathing patterns.


This client ALSO has found several pathogens in her body using functional lab testing, and has begun to address heavy metals in her body as well as previously un-identified food sensitivities that were stressing her body OUT.


On today's podcast episode, I talk all about what Craniosacral Therapy and Visceral Manipulation are, how to know if you need them, and why they are so powerful to combine with functional lab testing.


Because your body is WORTH more than just one therapy to get full and complete healing. You with me?

28 Oct 202165// Is Perfectionism Driving Your Gut Health Journey? PLUS 4 Steps to Eliminating Perfectionism in Your Health00:50:57

PERFECTIONISM…

According to Brene Brown, “Perfectionism is the addictive belief that if we can appear perfect, we can avoid shame.”

Or if it was driven by an unbending force demanding you to do everything perfectly?

In this week’s episode, let’s discuss how to identify if fear and shame are manifesting in your health. I’ll also share 4 steps you can take today to slowly get out from under the pressure and demand of perfectionism!

19 Dec 2024243// Histamine Intolerance Symptoms, Why a Low Histamine Diet Can't Heal You, and 6 Root Causes to Histamine Intolerance00:44:29

Learn the wide range of histamine intolerance symptoms, why the low histamine diet isn't enough, and the 6 root causes to high histamine.

---

Histamine Intolerance is one of the most misunderstood, poorly treated chronic illness issues out there.

Most commonly, it is oversimplified as simply an issue that can be resolved by diet control. Unfortunately, the low histamine diet does not heal histamine intolerance at all, but merely masks the issue through symptom managmenet.

Can a low histamine diet reduce histamine symptoms? Yes.

Can you ever get off of the low histamine diet through doing the diet alone? No. The low histamine diet does NOT heal your sensitivity to histamine (which is actually possible). It merely enslave you to your histamine intolerance.

That's why, on today's episode, I'm diving into how to ACTUAL heal from histamine intolerance.

On today's episode, I'll be talking through the A's to Z's of histamine intolerance, including:

  • What histamine is
  • Symptoms of Histamine Intolerance
  • And my histamine intolerance treatment to naturally and COMPLETELY heal you from your histamine sensitivity so you can eat high histamine foods again AND have no histamine symptoms - ever

If you're ready to determine if histamine is ruling YOUR life or end the cycle of slavery to histamine, then this episode is for you.

00:00 - Introduction to Histamine Intolerance

00:07 - Misconceptions About Low Histamine Diets

27 May 202143// How to Reduce Brain Toxicity for Better Focus, Lower Anxiety, and Clearer Thinking00:38:53

Brain toxicity: What does it look like?

Symptoms of brain toxicity:

  • Fatigue
  • Moodiness
  • Memory problems
  • Difficulty focusing (ADD/ADHD)
  • Speech/language problems (Autism)
  • Mood disorders (OCD, depression, etc.)
  • Stiff, uncoordinated muscles (Demyelination. More severely: Multiple sclerosis, ALS, or other diseases)
  • Neurodegenerative diseases (such as Dementia/Alzheimers)

Do you experience any of those symptoms?

Let’s go over the physiology: how we intake toxins, how we absorb them, and ways that our bodies struggle to excrete them.

I also share six things you can do to begin healing!

Of the things I want to share, one is a freebie: MEDITATION!

While meditation won’t cure a condition, it is a powerful tool to use in reducing brain toxicity!

25 Jun 2024208// Why Her Symptoms Got Worse After Doing the Constipation Protocol00:18:14

Have you ever done a protocol that made your symptoms WORSE?

Recently on an Instagram Live, I was asked a question about why a woman's constipation got WORSE when she did a constipation protocol.

This is unfortunately a common problem not just for constipation but also bloating, acid reflux, PMS, eczema, fatigue, and more.

Why does this happen? What was likely going on with this client's specific constipation response? And how can you not only avoid this problem, but find a protocol that actually will work for you?

I'm answering all this and more today. Let's dive in.

The Results Call is the height of the Foundations Program where I meet with clients after they do ALL their labs to discuss with them results of her labs, what they mean, and what they are going to do about it in clearly defined steps.

If you like being nosey or want to hear what was causing THIS client's bloating and constipation, or if you want to hear how she is going to natural relief constipation, then this episode is for you!

25 Jul 2024217// The ADHD-Mold Connection: How Mold Sets ADHD on FIRE00:27:00

Has your ADHD recently gotten worse? Not ADHD as a kid, but suddenly have problems with attention and forgetfulness? Mold may be the cause.

For the last few weeks, we've been in an ADHD series where I've been breaking down the connection between your BODY and your ADHD.

I've talked about 5 ways to make your ADHD easier to manage by healing your gut, if intermittent fasting is a hack for ADHDers who forgets to eat meals, and 2 genes to support if you have ADHD (check out gene #1 here and gene #2 here).

On today's episode, I'm wrapping up our ADHD series with talking about a very serious and very common irritant I'm seeing taking my client's ADHD to whole new levels of intensity.

This episode could technically fit into the episode on 5 ways to make your ADHD easier to manage by healing your gut, because one of those five things is dealing with hidden pathogens.

But this topic is so common, complex, and honestly undiscussed, that I decided to give the conversation on ADHD and mold it's own episode.

If you have ADHD, think you have ADHD, or struggle with forgetfulness, brain fog, inattention, irritability, or mood swings, then this episode is for you.

30 Jun 202298// 3 Things Adrenal Fatigue Is Telling You About Your Body00:48:49

Chronic fatigue is a commonly felt symptom for anyone struggling with any chronic illness - let alone gut health problems. 

Adrenal fatigue, within the category of chronic fatigue, is fatigue that is sourced in the adrenal glands. Historically, chronic fatigue and adrenal fatigue can be very frustrating for those with it because, as is often true with any chronic illness, it’s unclear either what is causing the fatigue or what you can do to actually REVERSE the fatigue. 

But there is a tool out there to that STOPS making fatigue so vague and hard to treat. 

Using functional lab testing in our office, or testing designed to find the root cause of a given symptom or condition, I help my clients every day to figure out not only the SOURCE of their fatigue but also the KEY STEPS they can take to get their energy back. 

Yup. you heard me. No more GUESSING on how to get your energy back. No more wasting time or money buying B12 and CoQ10, taking lots of naps, or drinking coffee.

On today’s episode, we’re going to go WAY beyond taking adaptogens and herbs to battle your fatigue. Instead, I’m going to give you the EXACT tools and methods I use with my clients to turn their fatigue into their highway for success.

You ready? Let’s jump in.

06 May 202140// Reduce Acid Reflux with the Magic Power of Zinc00:44:59

LOW stomach acid is the most common cause of acid reflux in clients that I work with.

Yes, LOW stomach acid can create acid reflux as much (or more) than high stomach acid!

Why? Low stomach acid affects food breakdown AND stomach function.

Low stomach acid symptoms:

  • Acid reflux
  • Seeing chunks of food in stool
  • Bloating
  • Smelly gas
  • Quick feelings of fullness
  • Fatigue
  • Weakness when working out

Does this sound like you?

If so, tune in! We’re going to dive into some anatomy, how we create stomach acid, signs of a zinc deficiency, and HOW zinc can help reduce symptoms of acid reflux!

This episode, I’ll also share two home tests and ways to work with your health practitioner!

Have you ever wondered if you were stuck with constipation?

21 Mar 2024191// Gut Inflamed? How to Heal Gut Inflammation and Whole Body Inflammation - for good!00:29:10

It was such a good question, that I decided to make a whole podcast episode exploring this answer!

If you feel like your body is inflamed, you aren't sure if you're dealing with inflammation, or you don't see any reduction in your symptoms despite taking special supplements or eating anti-inflammatory foods - then this episode is for you.

30 Nov 2023175// How to Save Time with My Simple Grocery Shopping Method00:23:56

Have you ever opened your fridge and wondered how it was empty again?

Have you ever needed to go to the grocery store for just ONE item you were missing - and hated the trip the whole way there?

Have you ever started a recipe only to realize that you didn't have all the ingredients you needed?

If you said yes to any of these, I get you. This used to be me, too, until I implemented my Simple Grocery Shopping Method. It takes me only 1 hr per week and keeps me and my family fed and ready to make meals, muffins, and snacks all without running out of ingredients or needing to take another trip to the grocery store.

As we come up on Thanksgiving and the BIGGEST eating event of the year, I thought I'd spill the beans on how I grocery shop using MINIMAL effort with just 1 hr per week on AVERAGE.

The great news? This method can be SCALED to a family of 4, 5 or 6. I'm going to teach you exactly how to save time grocery shopping and what I do to minimize the time spent at the grocery store and maximize the time spent with family and NOT worrying about what I'll eat next.

24 Dec 202021// Struggling with hope in your health? Hear a Heartwarming Holiday Story About Overcome Insomnia, Chronic Pain, and Chronic Nausea - with My Client "Cee"00:57:40

Happy Holidays!

It’s that time of year where everything is sparkling and special. And today, I want to bring ya’ll ANOTHER special story.

Cee is a performer, teacher, and has traveled for work for over 30 years! Cee has also been a client of mine since the summer of 2019. When she first came to me, she had been through three back surgeries, gallbladder removal, and seen the top doctors in the country from Mayo Clinic to Johns Hopkins University. She could barely walk due to shooting pain in her left leg, was struggling with constant nausea for over a decade, had joint pain, skin rashes, and extreme insomnia.

From 2019 to 2020, Cee’s life has completely turned around. She can now sleep through the night, do pilates, and eat food without getting any nausea. Her pain levels have also significantly dropped from where they were. AND - she’s even had symptoms go away that she NEVER told me about.

Cee and I have cried SO many times together over the wonder of her story, and today, she has agreed to share her story with ya'll. I am so, so grateful.
If you have been struggling with hope in your health, I hope that you encouraged and touched by this episode today.

24 Feb 202282// 5 Reasons Autoimmune Diagnoses Don't Have to Be Scary00:40:42

Have you ever felt like your illness or condition was “too hard” for a health practitioner to handle?

Does your diagnosis ever feel like a life sentence? Haunting you everywhere you go, yet invisible to those around you?

Have you ever wished you just DIDN’T have the disease, illness, or even the body you had?

If so, you are like many of our clients we have worked with.

And I understand, I’ve been there. I’ve asked God why I had the body I did, what I did wrong to get here, or why I couldn’t have a different body.

Yet along the pathway to my internal healing, I have found that having a chronic illness or autoimmune diagnosis is actually not as scary as I once thought it to be.

I’m not as stuck or as powerless as I used to believe. My body (and myself) is actually a GIFT! To myself, to others, and to the world.

The best thing is - our clients are learning the same things for themselves every day.

How is this happening?

On today’s episode, I am going to share with you 5 reasons that your autoimmune diagnosis or chronic illness doesn’t have to be scary OR overwhelming - even if it sometimes feels like it is.

If you have any Autoimmune Disease, including:

  • Fibromyalgia
  • Crohn's
  • Ulcerative Colitis
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis
  • Endometriosis
  • Interstitial Cystitis

Then this episode is for you!

04 Nov 202166// 6 Reasons Your Doctor is Reading Your Blood Labs Wrong + How You Can Do It Better00:48:45

Back in March of this year, 2021, I released a podcast episode titled “Why Your Doctor Says Your Labs Look Normal When You Don’t Feel Normal.”

I recorded this episode on the heels of my first pregnancy and subsequent miscarriage. At the time, I was doing some serious detective work with my blood labs!

The miscarriage and discoveries in my blood labs drove me to record my initial thesis on why doctors are not reading your labs right. Creating that episode got me thinking:

What if every woman could read her blood labs?

What if women, and men, didn’t need to take their doctor’s word for it anymore?

What if we had power, and understanding, in our own hands to negotiate and communicate clearly?

What if we had data that PROVED we were gaslighting ourselves, and stopped all the self-doubt and feelings that we’re making up our symptoms.

We do. We have the data. It’s in our blood. We just don’t know how to read it!

From this, the idea for Blood Lab Bootcamp was born. Today, I’m happy to announce that, as of January 5, 2022, my premier course Blood Lab Bootcamp will be launching a second time for our second round of students.

As part of that announcement, I am going to share with you the 6 reasons your doctor is reading your labs wrong PLUS how YOU can learn how to do it better.

I am so excited for Blood Lab Bootcamp, and it’s my goal that by the end of this episode and over the course of the next two months, you’ll understand why and will be, too!

27 Mar 2025257// 10 Lessons from My 10-Year Anniversary of My IBS Diagnosis00:56:07

After 10 years, I no longer have an IBS diagnosis or any correlating symptoms. Learn my top 10 lessons I learned in 10 years of healing.

---

10 years ago, in the spring of 2015, my own, personal sickness journey began with unexplained and sudden nighttime insomnia.

At the time, I had NO idea that this seemingly small but annoying symptom was the beginning of a massive decline in my health that would not be slowed or corrected no matter what advice I followed, who I talked to, or how much money I spent.

Now - 10 years later - I have NONE of the original symptoms or diagnosis of IBS, insomnia, or constipation that I started with in 2015. And not only that, but my entire life is changed. My career is changed, my lifestyle is changed, and my mental and physical health is better than it had been my entire childhood.

So, to celebrate my 10 year anniversary of becoming (and undoing) being sick, I've gathered my Top 10 Lessons from 10 years of struggling, succeeding, and failing my way through IBS and into complete, whole body healing.

Whether you're in the beginning of your own healing journey or have been in this journey for 5, 10, 20, or 30+ years, I hope these 10 lessons bring you hope, insight, tears, and catharsis of how healing is not a straightforward journey, but if you keep honest and true to your values and needs, you WILL find the healing you're looking for.

10 Oct 2024233// The H. Pylori Episode: Symptoms of H. Pylori, How to Test for H. Pylori, and Why H. Pylori Treatments Fail00:47:11

Yesterday, my husband sent me a text.

"Do you have a podcast episode on H. Pylori?"

"I do," I texted back. "Sort of. But it's inside of episodes that are symptom focused. Not pathogen. Why do you ask?"

He'd heard someone in our church share that they had H. Pylori, and they were worried about it and wanted prayer. My husband hear's me talk about EVERYTHING health related, and he KNEW that I talked a lot about H. Pylori. But what I was sad to find was that even though I have multiple episodes on acid reflux, a key symptom of H. Pylori, I had NO episodes on H. Pylori specifically.

Thus, this new series was born.

Over the next 7 weeks, I will go over the 7 key pathogens that are causing 99% of the symptoms in my clients over the last 6 years (over 600 clients!). I am going to go, episode by episode, over:

  • What each pathogen is
  • Where it lives in the body
  • Common symptoms associated with that pathogen
  • Less-common symptoms that can happen because of them
  • How to do testing
  • What testing can give false-negatives
  • Signs of a strong protocol to get rid of it
  • Examples of bad protocols that I've seen my clients go through
  • Reasons you might not feel better even after going through a protocol for that pathogen
  • ...and SO MUCH MORE!

I'm going to debunk every single myth I can think of, because the #1 reason that clients who work with me AREN'T feeling better after a pathogen protocol is because of ALL the little things that can go wrong - but don't HAVE to go wrong.

In this series, I'm going to point you to the FASTEST way to heal. Because NO pathogen needs to be ruling your life.

It's time to feel your best, have energy, and get back to your life.

Today's episode is all about H. Pylori. If you've been diagnosed with H. Pylori, had a positive H. Pylori endoscopy or test, have treated it before but think you have it again, want to know a natural, non-antibiotic way to eliminate H. Pylori, or you think you may have it even without testing that shows it, then this episode is for you.

23 Mar 2023135// Is a Parasite Causing Your Constipation? How to Find and Naturally Kill Parasites With Michelle Pobega ND00:49:43

Is a parasite causing your constipation?

It was for me in 2015. In our episode today, I’m interviewing Dr. Michelle Pobega, a naturopathic doctor who’s been practicing for over 12 years in Toronto, Canada. 

Dr. Michelle struggled for YEARS with IBS before she figured out how to heal her gut. After she found a parasite was at the root of her gut health problems, and now she has dedicated her practice to specialize in parasites, liver, and gallbladder health. 

On today’s episode, we will be covering ALL THINGS parasites - how pervasive they are, signs and symptoms of parasites, how to assess for them, and most importantly - how to properly purge them.

21 Oct 202164// Chaos, Order, and Hell: How to Walk Through Valleys and Mountains In Your Health00:52:38

Have you ever felt that your health journey was simply chaotic?


Have you ever felt that your health journey was a type of living hell, one you didn’t know how to get out of?


Have you ever felt that all you wanted in your health, and life, was a little order? Some clear next steps that would work? And a path that would get you - and keep you - healthy?

I recently finished the book “12 Rules for Life” by Jordan B Peterson, and these elements of chaos, order, and hell hit me strongly in his book. Jordan B Peterson is a renowned psychologist who is on a mission to make sense of life. He combines philosophy, psychology, and the importance of story to create human meaning to explore subjects such as suffering, failing in life, and succeeding.

When I originally read this book, I had no idea that I would connect to it so strongly in terms of health. But the more I read, the more parallels I saw to what Jordan was saying and the experience that both I and my clients go through in our health.

Therefore, I wanted to dedicate an episode to Jordan’s three major concepts in his book, 12 Rules for Life: chaos, order, and hell.

In today’s podcast, I’m going to map out what it means to walk through chaos, order, and hell in our health journey, how all three are necessary for true healing and growth, and what it looks like to walk well through each well.

Have you been put on an elimination diet?

Are you eating a reduced number of foods doing the low FODMAP diet, low histamine diet, elemental diet (SIBO), or some other elimination diet?

Are you unable to reintroduce foods (no matter how long you’ve been on your diet) without your symptoms flaring up?

Do you feel your symptoms flare up even when you’re being strict with your diet?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, tune in!

Elimination diets like the Low FODMAP diet, Low Histamine diet, Elemental diet (SIBO), and others are designed to reduce symptoms, but there are deeper factors you may need to look at.

We’re going to discuss WHY your elimination diet isn’t working, and what you can look into next to bring real, deep healing to your gut and your body!

31 Mar 202285// End the Bloat, Balance Your Mood, Reduce Pain, and Get Amazing Sleep with my client Julie00:37:03

Have you had bloating and sleep problems for the last decade?

Has it seemed like nothing you do has worked?

Are you afraid to make changes to your health - because it's hard, and because...what if it doesn't work?

If so, you are like my client Julie.

Julie is full-time entrepreneur and working mom in Canada who can do EVERYTHING right in her business - but has not been able to figure out her health.

After 6 months in our Foundations Program, though, this is no longer the case!

Julie started working with me feeling uncomfortable all the time due to bloating and gas, with pain in her neck and shoulders that no massage could fix, and with poor sleep that no amount of sleep hygiene could alter.

She was also going through menopause, and despite taking specific herbs to try and support the transition, menopause was making her MISERABLE. And I mean - moody miserable.

It was affecting her work, her kids, and her experience of her day-to-day life.

Now, Julie is sleeping through the night, she doesn't have to fight her mood anymore, and she feels GOOD after she eats!

How did she do it?

10 Apr 2025259// How can I safely add in new protocols with acid reflux? LIVE Coaching00:19:27

Do you struggle with acid reflux?

Are you looking for a natural acid reflux remedy or acid reflux home treatment, but you're nervous about how to safely integrate the protocols recommended?

Are you looking for acid reflux relief, but are discouraged by how little other acid reflux treatments have worked?

If you said yes to ANY of these, then this episode is for you!

As we step into the months of April and May, I (Allison) am on maternity leave. To celebrate this, we're pulling content from our group coaching calls inside our private coaching group, the Better Belly Blueprint, to share with YOU.

Today's topic is from my client Don, and it's ALL about acid reflux!

He shared:

"I've had some incredible improvements since starting the Better Belly Blueprint!

  • I've lost 25 pounds since the end of November without being hungry.
  • I sleep so much better - without waking anytime between 2-4 am!
  • Stools are now mostly firm and normal (I'm so thankful!)
  • Liver enzyme AST has fallen from 40 to 32 per latest test.
  • Likewise, ALT has fallen from 66 to 51.
  • Modest increase in Alkaline Phosphatase from 46 to 48.

But - I'm struggling to integrate the stomach acid protocol, and I'm discouraged because I'm still getting acid reflux and being woken up in the early morning by abdominal pain. I'm not certain how to tell when I can / should layer on the other protocols when I'm progressing so slowly with the first few! Can you give me any advice?"

Don's question is a SUPER common situation many people find themselves in as they're trying to heal! You see some progress in protocols and symptom improvement, but you feel like you're getting stuck or slowing down in certain protocols - plus some symptoms aren't seeming to budge at all!

What can Don do? Is he stuck forever?

Short answer - no!

But for the long answer - be sure to tune into today's episode!

P.S. ~ If you want to ask questions to me JUST LIKE THIS ONE and get my live feedback, now you can! When you join the Better Belly Blueprint and add on group coaching for our SUPER affordable price, you get access to live, bi-weekly group coaching calls just like this one AND unlimited, daily, 1:1 coaching inside our private FB group!

Enrollment is open now and through my maternity leave - there's no need to wait!

11 Nov 202167// How to Reduce Your Endometriosis, Brain Fog, Eczema, Low Energy, Irritability, and Sleep Problems by 40%+ in 3 Months with My Client, Jessica00:30:16

With Blood Lab Bootcamp reopening on Jan 5th in the new year, 2022, I wanted to introduce y’all to some of my clients whose lives have changed by being able to read their blood labs using functional analysis methods!

 

On today’s episode, you’ll meet my client, Jessica. When Jessica came to me she had been struggling most of her life with hormonal imbalance, weight gain, skin problems, low energy/mood, and had been diagnosed with endometriosis and adenomyosis. 

 

She had already spent lots of time and money on her health doing all the things conventional doctors had recommended: bloodwork, surgery, and medication. 

 

Tired of her problems and not knowing where to turn, Jessica’s life changed when we analyzed her blood labs from a functional medicine perspective. As she said of the results, “They [lab markers] couldn’t have been normal - not with the way I felt.”

 

I am so excited to share with you ALL the changes she’s experiencing - and it all started with a little blood work!

02 Dec 202170// SIBO: The 2 Reasons Why SIBO Has a 50% Recurrence Rate + How to Overcome SIBO and the Low FODMAP Diet00:45:20

Have you ever had SIBO?


Do you think you might have SIBO?


Or - are you the one out of every 2 people who have gotten SIBO - only to get it again? (SIBO has a 50% recurrence rate in individuals who have had it before!)

Whether you are one of the above, or just a curious listener trying to make sense of all things gut and information out there, then today’s episode is just for you.

I’ve had several clients now that I’ve worked with who have been checked for SIBO, had SIBO, or been worked with to get rid of their SIBO prior to working with me.

When they start working with me, I have consistently found TWO factors that are impacting these client’s health. These two missing puzzle pieces to healing from SIBO have consistently NOT been checked for by other practitioners.

Of our clients who we’ve worked with who have had SIBO - all of them have healed from SIBO completely, and no longer require to be on the low FODMAP or any other restricted diet to keep their gut clean and healthy.

If you want to know the two most common reasons that I see SIBO recurring in our clients - you are in the right episode!

24 Oct 2024235// The SIBO Episode: SIBO Symptoms, SIBO Testing, and Why SIBO Treatments Fail00:51:58

Have you been diagnosed with SIBO recently, but nothing you're doing to get rid of it is working?

Have you had SIBO tests and re-tests, but you keep getting it again?

Or - do you not have a positive SIBO test, but are suspicious that you may have it and are wondering how to test for it and what are common signs of SIBO?

If you said yes to any of these questions, then THIS episode is for you!

Continuing with week 3 of our 7 pathogen series, today I'm going over:

  • What SIBO is
  • Common SIBO symptoms (like bloating and constipation OR diarrhea!)
  • Less-common symptoms talked about for SIBO
  • How to get SIBO testing
  • When and why SIBO testing fails
  • Why SIBO treatments fail
  • What natural treatment for SIBO you can do instead - that WORKS

I'm going to debunk every single myth I can think of, because the #1 reason that clients who work with me AREN'T feeling better after a pathogen protocol is because of ALL the little things that can go wrong - but don't HAVE to go wrong.

In part 3 of this series, I'm going to point you to the FASTEST way to heal. Because NO pathogen needs to be ruling your life.

It's time to feel your best, have energy, and get back to your life.

It's time to kill some SIBO.

30 Jan 2025249// How She Beat Her Bloat, Constipation, and Acid Reflux in One Month 😱 [Testimonial - Jamie]00:45:15

When I first met Jamie, she had been dealing with gut health issues, as of a mom of 2, since high school.

She'd spent all of her developing years searching for a solution to her bloating, constipation, and acid reflux - only to get answers from doctors that never worked OR made her feel worse. Suggestions like drink more water, eat fiber, take probiotics, or use laxatives either didn't work or made her feel WORSE.

Enter: the Better Belly Blueprint.

After a cruise that made her feeling worse than ever, Jamie stumbled across the Better Belly Podcast (this podcast!) and our proven solution to all gut health issues: the Better Belly Blueprint.

After just ONE MONTH following her personalized protocols she built in the program using our protocol templates and her unique lab results, Jamie was having daily bowel movements and NO bloat - for the first time in decades!!

Now, Jamie is joining us on the podcast to share her story of how taking a step of faith in one more solution for her gut not only helped her while in the program, but has created sustained change in her - even a year after finishing the program.

If you're a little like Jamie and have been dealing with gut health issues for years, or even decades, and are tired of the same bloat, constipation, and acid reflux recommendations that don't work - then this episode is for you.

Tune in to learn exactly how Jamie found natural constipation relief for her bloated belly - and why this solution could be for you, too.

16 Nov 2023173// Want a Sneak Peek Inside the Better Belly Blueprint? Listen to This LIVE Q&A Call00:21:24

 This week, I hosted my workshop - Clear Your Constipation - on Monday and Tuesday.

It's done now, but I wanted to share with ya'll a clip of a Q&A Call I had with my VIP workshop attendees on Tuesday.

In this call, I answered ANY questions our workshop attendees wanted to ask me. They ended up asking a LOT of interesting questions, so I wanted to share it with you guys here on the podcast.

I am calling this episode a sneak peek inside the Better Belly Blueprint - because while it's actually a call with my VIP workshop attendees, this call honestly feels a lot more like one of my group coaching Q&A calls that I have in my course and group coaching program, the Better Belly Blueprint.

Questions we cover in this episode:

  • Is there ever a time you DON'T recommend treating H. Pylori?
  • What labs should I order for migraines, constipation, and acid reflux?
  • Why are my liver enzymes high? Is there anything I can do about it?
  • What is the difference between the MRT and Zoomer food sensitivity tests?
  • What does it mean when a food sensitivity says I'm sensitive to a food, but I don't notice feeling bad when I eat that food?
  • If I go through a detox and I get a headache as I detox, can I take medication for that headache?
  • Can I stop doing some of my detox methods on vacation?

We did ALL of these questions in less than 17 minutes. Woo! You don't need a lot of time to get massive breakthrough and clarity in your health, and I hope this calls proves it to you.

If you're ready to finally find the source of not only your bloating and constipation but also headaches, migraines, acne, eczema, UTI's, sinusitis, fibromyalgia, and more, listen to this episode.

But ALSO: Join my course + group coaching program, the Better Belly Blueprint.

In this course, I teach YOU how to END BLOATING AND CONSTIPATION for GOOD through:

  • functional lab testing (priced at wholesale laboratory prices),
  • a customized health plan that I teach you how to build yourself,
  • RAD SCIENCE (no more Dr. Google plans that don't work)
  • and daily support through our Member's-Only FB Group and BiWeekly Group Coaching Call

23 Jul 2024216// ADHD and COMT Gene Mutation: Why You Need to Care About this SNP if You Have ADHD00:28:20

Last week, I did an episode on ADHD and the MAOA gene mutation. When I released the episode, I told ya'll that this was THE gene mutation that was connected to ADHD and it was going to be a great episode.

Well...it was a great episode! But, as I was collecting the data for the episode, I realized that I had forgotten about another gene mutation that ALSO highly indicated ADHD.

Drumroll please 🥁

It is...the COMT gene mutation!

On today's episode, I'm sharing all about the COMT gene mutation, what it's role is in the body, signs and symptoms you might have this gene mutation, and how you can support it naturally.

I hope this episode opens your eyes, and gives you a new way to see your ADHD and how you can support yourself.

Cheers!

04 Feb 202127// How to Use the Hospital and Holistic Healthcare TOGETHER: A Case Study on my Recent Miscarriage00:33:14

Today, I'd like to share a personal story about my recent pregnancy and miscarriage. This story encapsulates the ENTIRE reason I started the Better Belly Podcast. 

People don’t often hear REAL health stories. This aspect of health is somehow taboo! In reality, these stories happen every day, all the time.

Maybe this isn’t a story that directly relates to you. If that is the case, I would encourage you to view this as more than just a story about my miscarriage. This is a story about having a health problem, trying to find answers through conventional and holistic healthcare, and what that means moving forward!

One takeaway I hope you leave with is to KEEP looking for answers.

27 Jan 202278// How Long Should It Take Me to Heal?00:54:00

“How long?”

It’s a valuable question; relevant to anyone starting a journey.

Knowing the length of a journey prepares us for the road ahead, psychologically and practically.

It’s SO important, we’ve already released a podcast episode on the hero’s journey and how it relates to health!

In health, especially in gut health, asking how long tends to get you a shoulder shrug. An evasive answer. Sometimes even a definite answer (‘for the rest of your life’).

It’s my goal to provide something more tangible in response to this question. As a student of health and of my clients, I keep close notes on how many and what type of clients are healing at what rate.

What’s a reasonable rate of healing to share with someone when they ask (or are at least wondering) how long this will take? What can I share from knowledge, and what can I share from experience?

After two years of working with clients doing functional lab testing, my team and I recently updated our signature program, the Foundations Program. The update mirrors what we’ve found to be true about the time it takes to heal from gut health problems, plus the specific, consistent stages of healing that we’re seeing in our clients.

21 Dec 2023178// Why Constipation Medicine Isn't Helping You + What to Do When Laxatives, Probiotics, Water, and Fiber Aren't Healing Your Constipation00:22:07

Pam has struggled with constipation on and off her entire life. Now, in the last 8 months, everything has gotten WAY worse.

Despite drinking water, eating fruits and veggies, and taking medications and laxatives like Linzess and Senekot, she can't poop. Or if she does, it hurts and comes with a LOT of cramping, bloating, and gas.

Why aren't her constipation medications working anymore?

And what can she do to actually heal her gut and have GOOD gut health?

I'm answering these questions on today's podcast! This question was submitted via my Ask Allison program, where I answer questions YOU ask here on the podcast.

If you want ME to review your health story just like I did with Pam and give my thoughts on what you should do next or what you're missing, go to betterbellytherapies.com/askallison and you can hear your question answered by me on an upcoming episode!

My client, Rachel, came to me last year in chronic pain, with constant bloating, unsure about what to eat, unable to sleep, experiencing unexplained nausea, and with no answers from doctors. 

 

In just over 3 months, we turned things around for her so that she could go out to eat with her husband and have NO anxiety, feel rested after she slept, be able to travel without pain or discomfort, and feel like she UNDERSTOOD her body again. 

 

If you are wondering if you can heal YOUR chronic pain and bloating, constipation, or IBS symptoms, then this episode is for you!

12 Aug 202154// Health is a Hero's Journey + Join the Blood Lab Bootcamp WAITLIST!00:52:04

A hero begins their journey without all the answers. They usually have just a problem and a dream to solve that problem.

If they had the tools and the power to solve that problem in chapter 1, it would make for a very short book! The problem would be solved, and our hero would go back to their life.

The truth is, the hero story resides in our hearts because we identify with the hero when we have a problem that can’t be solved.

Today’s episode, I want to dive into the elements in different stages of the hero’s journey. Those stages align 100% with the stages in the health journey.

Creating this episode gave me a lot of encouragement, even as somebody who is further along in her health journey. It shows me where I’ve come from, where I’m going, what I have accomplished to get where I’m at, and how much further I have to go. I hope on today’s episode you find the same encouragement! 

I would love to hear: What stage of the hero’s journey do you think you’re in? Give this episode a listen, head over to our Instagram page, and leave us a note on what stage of the hero’s journey you see you’re at in your health!

04 Jan 2024180// Easy Healthy Mindsets: How the Mantra "Health Should Be Easy" Will Change Your Life in 202400:15:57

2023 was a GROUNDBREAKING year for us in my company, Better Belly Therapies.

Over the year, I helped over 30 people get rid of bloating, constipation, diarrhea, irregular periods, painful periods, PMS, lose 13-35 lbs in weight, get rid of food confusion and food fear, sleep normally, feel rested, and triple how much patience they had with their kids.

As I had LOTS of conversations with my clients and people considering working with us, I saw a theme arising continuously around health and how DIFFICULT it was to get or stay healthy.

Because of this, I developed the mantra that "health should be easy", and boy - has it created HUGE breakthrough in our clients!

In today's episode, I want to share with YOU this easy healthy mindset, what it means, and how it has the power to absolutely change your 2024.

If you've been struggling in your health lately, if you feel like your health has been an insurmountable wall of difficulty, if you want easy, sustainable health that doesn't require ridiculous food restrictions or ongoing supplement regimens - then this episode is for you.

SEE YOUR EPISODE IN 2024 🎉

13 Aug 2024222// The 5 Signs of Hidden Mold with Brian Karr, Certified Mold Inspector00:39:03

Learn the 5 signs of mold in your home that you can see without any fancy tech or equipment! All you need is your eyes and a flashlight!

---

If you've have been in the mold conversation for a while, you know that one of the TOUGHEST parts of healing from toxic mold illness is not healing your BODY, but healing your HOME from mold.

There are two main steps to healing your home from mold: 1) find the mold, and 2) remediate the mold.

Step 2 will ALWAYS fail if step 1 is not done correctly, so to help you avoid all the most common errors in finding mold in your home, I'm bringing on my friend and certified mold inspector, Brian Karr.

Brian Karr is a second-generation indoor environmental consultant who specializes in working with hypersensitive individuals with complex medical conditions. He helps them to understand if mold, mycotoxins, or other indoor pathogens exist in their homes that may be contributing to their health conditions, and how to remedy those issues.

Brian is the Co-Founder of the nationally active mold inspection company, We Inspect, and has helped over 5,000 hypersensitive individuals worldwide to create healthier living environments that have allowed their doctors to help them get better.

On today's episode, Brian is breaking down the 5 hidden signs of mold growth that you can look for for zero dollars, using your own eyeballs! So if you hire an inspector and they miss 1 of these 5 signs in your home (or you don't see them look for these signs at all!), then it's time to say "bye-bye" to that inspector!

And - if you love this episode and want even MORE tips on how to find mold in your home in the fastest and lowest cost way, be sure to tune in to our NEXT episode releasing this week - Ep. 223// The 3 Step Mold Treatment Plan - where I'll be going over even more tips for how to find mold in your home, how to know if you need to hire a mold inspector or mold remediator, and if you do, how to find a qualified one near you.

It's time to say "yes" to being empowered around mold. Please join with me in welcoming Brian Karr to the Better Belly Podcast.

28 Mar 2024192// Are Animal Fat and Meat Inflammation Causing Foods?00:33:01

I recently had a friend of mine ask me, "Does animal fat really cause inflammation?"

She was reading a pop-culture book on gut health, and in this book, it was really hammering away at animal fat and animal meat being major inflammation-causing foods.

Since she was wondering this, I figured you might be, too. So I'm dedicating an entire episode to answering if animal fat and meat are inflammatory, and if so, when and under what circumstances can you eat meat and fat without it causing inflammation?

If you want to know EXACTLY which foods to eat to feel your best or are struggling with chronic inflammation in your body - then this episode is for you!

18 Jan 2024182// How to Get the MOST Out of Your Health Insurance in 2024, with Dr. Marc Downing00:49:26

If you have been sick and have been trying to navigate health insurance to get the MOST out of your health insurance while paying the LEAST, you know that health insurance is a total BEAR.

Health insurance can be a TOTAL pain in every regard. It can be a pain to find providers who take your insurance, it's a pain to be told your insurance will cover one amount and later you get charged a totally different (usually much higher) amount. It's a pain that insurance doesn't cover many things that we WANT it to cover, things that will ACTUALLY help you heal.

Why is insurance this way? And how can you actually use your health insurance to make it work for you, instead of feeling like you're fighting it all the time?

This conversation is NOT about insurance reform, or even politics or voting.

This is about, with the system EXACTLY the way it is right now, what can YOU do to still get the healthcare you want or need?

To host this conversation, I had a conversation with a special guest that I am SO excited to introduce you to - my father!

Dr. Marc Downing is a pediatric surgeon in Southwest Michigan who has been working in healthcare and the hospital system for more than 25 years. He's seen a LOT of shifts in healthcare not only through his career as a physician but also throughout the last 100 years of healthcare that he's studied. Dr. Marc Downing has a deep passion for seeing everyone be able to receive healthcare and to have to turn NO ONE away due to financial problems, but he also sees first-hand a lot of the problems that our current healthcare system creates for individuals and the system itself as someone who both has health insurance and someone who has to deal with it on a daily basis with his patients. Dr. Downing also shares some of his unique wisdom he's gleaned on different ways people approach getting healthcare through his experiences doing international surgery and also with working with communities in the U.S., such as the Amish, who inherently have no access to health insurance.

How are people getting healthy in the U.S. and around the world, with or without health insurance, and how can you take your current situation (regardless of your healthcare insurance status) to still get better health outcomes for you and your family?

We're tackling all this today, and more.

Also, to note: this episode pairs really well with last week's episode with financial expert Katherine Pomerantz where we discuss Katherine's top tips to make your health more affordable. Check out her episode, 182// How to Make Health More Affordable with Katherine Pomerantz!

14 Apr 202287// IBS and Pregnancy: My Top Tips to Have An IBS-Free Pregnancy00:51:56

If you have ever been pregnant, or heard a pregnant woman talk about what it’s like to be pregnant, you may realize that pregnancy is one, big IBS trap. 

What do I mean by this?

Of the top symptoms that comes with IBS - bloating, constipation, and acid reflux - all of these symptoms are things that women talk about who are pregnant - whether or not they had IBS before getting pregnant.

So for a woman who DOES have IBS and then gets pregnant - pregnancy can often become a magnifier for IBS symptoms.

What is a girl to do?

On today’s episode, I walk you through my top tips for each trimester of pregnancy for how I kept my IBS at bay, and how I mistyfied my doctors with my lack of complaints of the normal symptoms of pregnancy. 

Whether you are pregnant or trying to get pregnant, I want to teach YOU how you can achieve the same results and achieve an IBS free pregnancy.

05 May 202290// Fascia 101: The Hidden Force Behind Bloating, Constipation, and IBS01:00:16

Have you ever wondered:

  • Why abdominal pain makes you want to hunch over?
  • Why you can restrict food and avoid food sensitivities and STILL get bloating, abdominal pain, constipation, and acid reflux?
  • Have you ever jammed your fist into your belly, feeling there was something wrong deep inside - you just didn’t know what?

If so - today’s episode is for you!

On today’s episode, we are getting into a topic that I am VERY passionate about and that doesn’t get talked about much in the gut health world - Fascia.

If you’ve never heard of it - no worries. I’m going to be explaining what it is and WHY you want to care about it. 

And if you HAVE heard of it, you may be thinking - Allison, doesn’t fascia have to do with muscles and pain and stuff? What does it have to do with the gut?

Oh. So much my friend. Glad you asked!

Fascia is at the root of what I study as a Visceral Manipulation and Craniosacral Therapy Practitioner, and it’s has been the key to many of my clients in making a 180-degree turn from their acid reflux, constipation, bloating, and more.

If you are ready to get to the ROOT of your gut health problems - today’s episode is for you.

08 Aug 2024221// The Mold-Constipation Connection: How Toxic Mold Exposure Causes Constipation00:18:27

Tired of needing laxatives to poop? Natural constipation remedies not working? If so, toxic mold exposure may be causing your constipation.

---

Do you feel like you have tried EVERYTHING to heal your constipation?

Do you feel like you've tried ALL the recommended solutions to heal your constipation - like fiber, magnesium, probiotics, or restricted diets - without anything working?

Does having to take laxatives regularly to poop worry you? You want a way to poop without them - but HOW?

Or - have you spent hundreds or thousands of dollars on specialized labs, supplements, and holistic practitioners - with no results to show for it?

If so, then toxic mold exposure may be causing your constipation!

Mold illness is slowly becoming more mainstream amongst functional and holistic doctors and practitioners, but it's STILL majorly overlooked and misunderstood as a potential cause of constipation.

On todays' episode, I'm sharing with you how mold clogs up your gut, slows your motility, and can keep you from pooping.

If you have IBS, constipation, bloating, or abdominal pain, then you DON'T want to miss this episode!

And if you want to learn more about ALL the symptoms toxic mold exposure can cause, be sure to check out Episode 220// 100 Symptoms of Toxic Mold Exposure. Listen in to that episode to see how many of YOUR symptoms line up with toxic mold exposure.
