Did you enjoy a little too much food and drink last night - and now you've got the gut troubles to prove it? Heavy stomach, nausea, sluggish bowels, heartburn?

No worries! In this episode I'll teach you 4 simple tips to feel better and get your metabolism and energy back on-track quickly.

This topic is super-relevant to our time in the calendar year: Thanksgiving, Christmas parties, holiday gatherings of all kinds. Evenings, filled with more wine, desserts, rich foods, dairy (extra cheese and butter, anyone?), meats, more inflammatory cooking oils, and even fried foods.

These tips are also helpful for anytime you may have unintentionally (or intentionally) eaten more than usual, and been left feeling heavy, sluggish, nauseas – directly afterwards, or even the next day.

I even used these tips last week, after eating out at a restaurant renowned for its fried chicken (whaat?). Needless to say, I felt terrible the following day. But, I had these tips up my sleeve, so I recovered quickly!

You can get back on track quickly by doing a few simple smart things!

Listen and try them this holiday season - or anytime you need to boost your metabolism, energy, and reboot your gut health.

Getting back on track quickly is helpful because you and your body deserve it. It is also especially important if you have:

• Digestive issues - like IBS, GERD, constipation, food sensitivities, etc.
• Hormonal issues like PCOS, PMDD, perimenopause, or fertility issues, or if you are
• Overweight and/ or trying to lose weight – the holidays can be a big trigger time and a slippery slope.

But don't worry, I've got you covered with these simple tips. Here, you are seen, heard, and loved!

My medical-mind has been absolutely blown by what we're uncovering for clients (and myself!) using Functional Medicine Labs.

"Test, Don't Guess" is a saying in Functional Medicine. It means that we need data to truly get to the root cause of persistent, mysterious issues.

I was a skeptic for almost a decade. Afterall, lab testing can be prohibitively expensive. Not to mention, I have helped hundreds of clients experience healthy success, break-throughs, and big benefits without running pricey labs.

But now we are taking holistic treatment to new level and labs are a piece of the puzzle! In this episode I'll tell you:

• Who is lab testing for? Who can it help?

• What kinds of symptoms and issues really necessitate this kind of data for appropriate (and outstanding) holitsic treatment?

• Which labs do I run, and how do I do it more affordably?

• What was my experience with urine hormone testing and HTMA (hair tissue mineral analysis)? Spoiler alert: I had several HUGE light-bulb, "Aha" insights with getting this data on myself!

• What can you do to get this kind of data, and how could it change your life?

So get ready for a really fun, illuminating episode!

If you don't do anything else - do this.... In today's episode I am sharing my top 3 simple and 100% CRUCIAL tips to reset your body into a mode of natural healing.

I wish I could go back to my 20s and start these practices then! But alas, we live and learn, and now I get to share these life-changing rituals with you. Try them on in your life, starting today, and witness an energy and metabolic boost, deeper sleep, enhanced moods, and so much more.

Spoiler alert: this isn't about eating a perfect diet or working out "x" number of hours each week. It isn't even about the perfect herbs or meditation for your dosha (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha - and if you don't know yours yet, take my quick quiz and find out HERE).

It's all about rhythm. Creating a flow in your day and your LIFE. By practicing these 3 strategies regularly we create a dependable, grounded foundation of vibrant health. This cues your physiology to turn down the inflammation and calm the overactive nervous system (both of which impede digestion and accelerate aging).

So, listen and absorb this ancient wisdom, and be open to how this new (simple) flow could change your mind, body, and spirit. Then, put it to work in your life. You can do it! Slow, incremental change is the way to true transformation.

It’s one of many people’s  favorite treats – dark chocolate! Mmmm. If you love or CRAVE dark chocolate, this episode is a must listen!!

This bittersweet treat is lower in sugar and higher in an anti-oxidant called flavanols. So, it's a better choice than many other packaged sweets.

  And if you know me, you know it’s my thing. But just like any other sweet treat: dark chocolate spikes our feel-good hormones and is quite craveable. So, it can be a slippery slope for many reasons.

Not to mention: not all chocolates are created equally – or have any health benefits for that matter.

So, today, we'll dig into what your cravings may mean, what to do to address the Root Causes of your cravings, and how to choose the healthiest chocolate.

Make these 2 simple switches to protect yourself and those you love from hormonal issues, estrogen-dependent cancers and obesity...

What do the following things have in common? 

Painful periods, infertility, early menstruation in young girls, reproductive and estrogen-dependent cancers, and obesity?

They all involve the endocrine system! And they are all rampant in our culture, in part due to the constant, high level of exposure to EDCs (endocrine disrupting chemicals). 

These sneaky toxic chemicals have crept into our everyday existence in the modern world, and are also known by scientists as “obesogens". Yes, that word means exactly what it sounds like: they increase your risk of obesity, exponentially! 

In this episode I’ll tell you:

• Which types of chemicals are the most harmful for your hormones, weight and cancer risk, and where they’re commonly found, 
• What makes them so harmful – aka: What scientists and product-makers have known for years – but never makes front-page news
• And most importantly: 2 simple ways you can decrease your toxic load immediately. 

This is such an important episode for every human being. But it is especially vital for all women and children. 

Please empower yourself and every women you know by sharing this information and these tips. It is life-saving, and quality of life-enhancing in the most meaningful way.

Enjoying a drink can be relaxing and fun. But doing it "incorrectly" may disrupt your hormones, sabotage your sleep, drain your energy, and contribute to weight gain. So, today I'll share simple, healthy tips on how to make the most of your drink - if you decide to drink alcohol. If not, props to you! Booze-free is a great way to go; even healthier in many ways.

Some people are floored when they see me enjoy an "adult" beverage. Like, "Wait, wait, wait... I thought you were Miss Perfect?!". This always makes me laugh a bit. Just because I am an Integrative Health Practitioner doesn't mean I'm "perfect" or that any of us needs to be. I think it is possible to have a healthy relationship with alcohol and enjoy it sparingly as part of what may bring you pleasure.

But as get further into my 40s - I am almost 43 years old now - I see many of my peers indulging to a point that it is disrupting their hormones, impeding deep sleep, contributing to anxiety and depression, and sabotaging their weight goals. This compels me to share a holistic view of how it could look, ideally, to enjoy alcohol, here and there.

Today, I'll share an Ayurvedic perspective on drinking. You'll have the opportunity to learn your dosha (your unique body-mind constitution!). Then you'll discover what type of drink is best for you based on your unique mind-body style. I'll also give you 3 simple tips to follow, so you can enjoy a drink mindfully, while still prioritizing your gut, sleep, and hormones.

It can be done! Here's how...

I hope you enjoy this episode. As always, you can find me at www.sarahteeple.com to learn more.

Move over expensive superfood powders! There's a new (actually very ancient) 2-ingredient tea elixir in town, and it should be your go-to drink this Fall season. 

It’s Fall in the midwest! Temps are dropping – and our body’s needs are changing. But this drink is healing and anti-inflammatory to drink in whatever season you may happened to be listening. 

The yummy 2-ingredient drink I am going to tell you about in this episode has transformed my digestion – and that of so many clients. One client, who had loose, urgent stools (which suggested long-time inflammation in her gut) drank the "Pitta" version of this elixir, and after just 1.5 weeks, she began to have healthy formed stool, for the first time in years. No more urgency. No more burning. Just comfortable, healthy daily bowel movements. 

I’ll teach you how to make this simple tea, when to drink it, and how to make it perfect for your gut style in a moment. But first: here’s why I feel so compelled to share it with you…. 

I get tired of superfood trends, esp expensive powdered drinks – some of which you have to buy a subscription before you even know if it works for you (eye roll). Yes, WELLNESS is a big money-making industry! And there is plenty of designer food product marketing to prove it. I emphasize the term "FOOD PRODUCTS", as in manufactured, processed foods. 

Well, this drink is far from a product. But it does contain a special gut-healing herb, and the  most anti-inflammatory healthy fat on earth – AND we can easily adhere it to your digestive style.

Need to find out yours? Go back to BB Ep 8, "What's Your Digestive Style?"and take the quick quiz. But you can keep listening, as I’ll give you the quick and dirty here, to help you choose which common, kitchen pantry herb to use for your healing elixir.

To medicate or not to medicate, that is the question. In this episode, I'll share some of my personal (and clinical) experience with this important, and very personal decision.

Good health does not have to be black and white, as in: you are a success if you never pop and pill; and failure if you do. I see many patients and practitioners alike get caught in this divisive way of thinking.

To dispel the holistic hype: I'll share with you about how I successfully treated infertility, anxiety, constipation, and migraines, naturally. I'll also get a little more vulnerable and tell you about more recently, when stress and life pressures lead me to make a different decision: to take a prescription medication (that I had been sitting on for almost a year!), and how I felt peaceful about that.

I'll also give you 3 important questions to ask yourself when making your own decisions about if and when to take Rx meds. This is meant to empower you to make the best decision for YOU. Not to bow to the pressure placed on you by our broken healthcare system, to take ALL the Rx meds for every ailment.... Not even to succumb to external pressures of social media or wellness gurus, to "never touch a pill".

Instead, you can find your own best way. Your body and heart hold your answers - and it is my hope that this episode help you access all the inner wisdom that is waiting for you.

If you'd love caring and experienced holistic support, I am here for you. Come visit me at www.sarahteeple.com to book a free holistic chat and tell me what you're working on. We'll start getting to the bottom of it together.

Note: Always consult your doctor to inform decisions around medications, as well as prior to discontinuing any medications.

Stop doing these 3 things and feel better in (and about) your body immediately. This episode is the ultimate, "Do This, Not That" - healthy weight edition! Here I'll teach you how to approach weight loss differently: wisely, intuitively, with your precious guts in mind, and as A FRIEND, NOT A FOE of your body.

Because it's my #1 goal to spare you the time, energy, and heartache that go along with chasing a number on the scale! You know I’m not a proponent of weighing yourself in the first place. In fact, I tell all my clients to hide or donate their scales. Seriously. What the scale says has ZERO bearing on who you are or how you FEEL in your body. But, if you’re struggling with your weight, or have been for years… or decades – it’s undoubtedly effecting your quality of life! 

You are not feeling good in your body, and it is my ultimate mission to help you feel good in your body – and feel good about your body. 

I struggled with my weight for decades. When people see me now say, “Well, you are naturally thin”. But, I wasn’t always thin – in fact from about age 15 to age 30 I weighed 20-30 more lbs than I do now. And on my small 5’3” frame, that was substantial. 

I Yo-yo dieted for years, trying everything: Slimfast, Richard Simmons' Deal-a-Meal, veggie, vegan, Atkins, Paleo, Keto, etc... 

But nothing really clicked until I found Ayurveda and got more in-tune with nature, learned my dosha and how my digestion worked it all balanced out naturally, automatically. My body reached and maintains its ideal weight easily. 

Now, I'm going to share with you how I made it easy for myself and how I help my Beautifully Balanced clients do the same… We’ll talk about excess weight, from an Ayurvedic and holistic standpoint. We’ll find out what is the main cause of it, and most importantly what you can do to reach a healthy weight and FEEL great in your body, so you can actually enjoy food and enjoy life to its fullest again!

I'll reveal the 3 BIGGEST, most common mistakes I see my clients making, that are sabotaging their weight goals and leaving them feeling frustrated, stuck, and heavy in their digestion, and not at home in their bodies, and we'll top it all off with what to do instead to make reaching your ideal weight and feeling GREAT in you body simple, intuitive, and achievable. 

According to Ayurveda (the 5000 year old Indian system of medicine on which I partially base my Integrative practice):

Being overweight is partially constitutional (find out your dosha for free ⁠HERE⁠)

It is also a HUGE indicator of how well your digestion is working. In Ayurveda gut, digestion, metabolism, appetite, etc.. are all connected. So we have to dig deeply to understand the causes, when it is not functioning properly. Some doshas are more likely to have a naturally slightly slower metabolism (Kaphas). BUT any dosha can gain weight, due to poor digestion, accumulated habits, etc…

If you want to dive into this, you must go back and listen to Beautifully Balanced, episode 5, "How Your Gut Actually Works". 

Episode 8, "What’s Your Digestive Style will also help you learn more about your unique body and how to eat with YOUR gut in mind. It's truly transformational stuff!

Drip-coffee, cold brew, espresso, lattes and mochas.. Coffee can be a delicious ritual, and many of us depend on it to get through our day.

But drinking too much, or doing it at the wrong times of day, or in the wrong order with food …. can make your anxiety sky-rocket, put you in stress-hormone overdrive, disrupt your hormones, derail your sleep, and contribute to IBS, acid reflux, loose stools, or even constipation (I’ll tell you exactly how that works later).

  Today, I'll give you 4 crucial coffee tips so you can enjoy intelligently - without derailing your digestion and hormones.

We’ll also learn which Ayurvedic doshas (body-mind types) coffee is best for – and how to drink it. Plus my 3 favorite tasty coffee alternatives – including which are best for each dosha : Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.

If you don’t know your dosha yet – hop over ⁠HERE ⁠to take my quick, free quiz.

Are you ready to understand your anxiety in a whole new way? Let's dive in to an Ayurvedic, mind-body-spirit perspective!

Anxiety can include chronic stress, overwhelm, worry, and scattered, fearful thinking - and if it's severe, you should always consult with a qualified mental health professional.

Today, I’ll clue you in on what you might be inadvertently doing that’s triggering or worsening your anxiety – and I'll give you my top 3 simple tips to soothe, and even prevent it. These are easy, quick things you can incorporate every day to reverse the hold that anxiety has on your mind and your life.

By understanding anxiety through the lens of Ayurveda, we can remove the shame and self-blame that often comes along with it. We can choose a new, natural path. We'll go deeper and empower ourselves to not just medicate it away, with Xanax, anti-anxiety meds, or with food, alcohol, marijuana, online shopping, etc... Instead, we'll make our lifestyle, food and drink, and daily habits work for us - instead of triggering and perpetuating our anxiety!

Anxiety is by far the most common mental and emotional health issue among my clients – and among most women in the US. It adversely effects our relationships, our home-life, our self-talk, our digestion (yes, mind-gut are linked). So, basically - our entire quality of life!

This topic and episode are so relevant to so many. I know this new perspective, and these tips, will bring you relief, hope, and a little more calm - starting now.

NOTE: Talk-therapy and the mental health support of a licensed therapist are very important and effective. And, if you want holistic help with your anxiety, please book a Free Holistic Chat with me ⁠RIGHT HERE⁠, and we'll see if we are a good fit.

The Kombucha craze is a great example of “one-size-fits-all" health trends that are great for some – and potentially harmful to others. It all depends on your digestive style! Find out if it's truly good for you or not right now.

Depending on your digestive gut style, kombucha could be, at best: an affordable and beneficial dose of probiotics, or

At worst: an acidic assault on your gut that may aggravate GERD, gastritis, heartburn, or trigger loose stools. And no one wants to pay $4.99 a bottle for that, right?!

In this episode I’ll tell you why kombucha is not beneficial for everyone – as well as who should be drinking kombucha, how much of it, and when in relation to food. Yes, the WHO, WHEN, and HOW are crucial.

If you need a reminder of how your gut actually works, go back and listen to episode 5, for a truly illuminating quick but in DEPTH education on your metabolism and microbiome….

Then, head to episode 8, "What's Your Digestive Style" and take the 5 min quiz to find out yours. It's life-changing information.

Today, I'm getting a bit personal, vulnerable, and sharing a slightly embarrassing story to help you understand how Western medicine's "Pill for an ill" approach isn't working. Instead, treating the root causes of your issues is the only true path to lasting health.

In 2008 I experienced a toxic chemical exposure that was life-altering and also a bit embarrassing (you’ll understand why when I tell you *how* it happened).

The bottom line is:

This sudden, acute, massive chemical exposure stopped me in my tracks, and conventional western medicine had ZERO answers or help for me. So, I took matters in to my own hands (always). I began to shift my personal focus from my rock band, The Ladybirds, to a path that would ultimately heal my mind, body, and spirit.  

We'll dive into Functional Medicine and how treating your root causes will empower you and enable you to treat even the most complex of issues. Do you feel like you've had a chemical exposure? Even if you haven't had an acute, massive dose, we are all certainly exposed to tens if not hundreds of tiny doses every single day. If this feel like it resonates with you, I encourage you to ⁠Book a Free Holistic Chat⁠ with me.

I can help guide you down the path of soothing the inflammation and detoxifying your body, so you can enjoy your life again!

Each of us has a unique digestive style that informs how our body metabolizes and processes all of our food and drink.

Have you ever wondered why some people can eat spicy food all day and never get heartburn, while others simply look at a jar of salsa or a glass of red wine and their GERD flares-up?

Or why some people get full after just a few bites and others don’t seem to have an “off” switch? Well, it all comes down to your digestive style!

In this episode, I'll describe each of the 4 digestive styles. You'll find out which type is yours, then get 3 easy tips to support your unique gut style, instead of working against it!

This Ayurvedic concept is one of the most simple yet health-enhancing things you can learn. Understanding my "style" took me from chronically constipated, and having digestive pains and bloating daily, even though I was eating what the wellness industry would consider "perfectly".... to having smooth, easy digestion, and a healthy bowel movement every morning. Not to mention staying at my ideal weight easily - a welcomed side-benefit :)

As always if you have questions, please come find me at www.sarahteeple.com ! You can schedule a free holistic chat and tell me what you're working on right now. I always love to hear from you, and to support you in your journey.

Are your healthy salads and bars making you bloated, constipated, and slowing down your metabolism? If you are anything like me, and hundreds of my clients, they probably ARE!

In this episode, we'll discuss why these foods are problematic for your gut, and what to do instead. I'll give you helpful tips on how to make your salads and bars more healthy and digestible. So, if you want to keep eating them, you'll know how to do it in the best possible way for your body.

Be sure to check out last week's episode to learn all about the 1st of the "false health foods": smoothies- and how to do them better for you - or why you may need to stop doing them all together. We dove into the issues with many smoothie recipes, what to choose instead, and how to make them easier on your gut. So, be sure to check out that episode!

Stop making this common mistake and instantaneously reduce digestive symptoms like:

• Bloating,
• Constipation,
• IBS, or
• Sluggish metabolism

According to the ancient wisdom of Ayurvedic gut health smoothies are NOT the healthy superfoods they're touted to be! Not only are they COLD and raw, two gut-displeasing qualities that make them notoriously hard-to-digest. But most trendy superfood-smoothie recipes contain too many different ingredients. I call these "everything-but-the-kitchen-sink" smoothies" (ex: 4 different kinds of frozen fruit, nut butter, chia seeds, flax, spirulina, almond milk, vegan protein powder, and on and on and on).

This excessive amount of exotic and disparate ingredients makes it unlikely that your body is actually utilizing all of their nutritional power. So, you may be wasting your money on expensive superfoods and protein powders that you are not actually digesting, absorbing, or assimilating.

Finally, they almost all smoothies commit the "cardinal sin" of Ayurvedic food combining: mixing fresh fruit with other foods high in fat and protein.

In this episode, we'll discuss why these things are problematic and what to do instead. I'll also give you helpful tips about HOW to make your smoothie more healthy and digestible. So, if you want to keep drinking them, you'll know how to do it in the best possible way for your body.

This episode will be beneficial for anyone with a digestive tract ;-)

Stay tuned for next week's episode to learn all about the 2nd and 3rd of the "false health foods": Salads and Bars.

We'll dive into the issues with many of those, what to choose instead, and how to make them more digestible for your body!

Get ready to understand your gut and metabolism in a new practical way that actually makes sense!

In this episode, we'll demystify "GUT HEALTH": a trendy term which we hear thrown around all the time… but we barely understand - and no one is giving us real solutions.

Today you'll learn how your gut actually works:

• What it does and how it does it, and
• What you can do daily to make it work better.
• You’ll understand it from a both a western medical and an Ayurvedic & Holistic lens….  

I’ll teach you how to apply simple tips in real life to get rid of symptoms like: bloating, gas, acid reflux, constipation, loose urgent stools, IBS-type alternating, and food sensitivities

SPOILER ALERT: it’s NOT the the WHAT:

• The exact number of calories or fat grams
• Ratio of macronutrients, or
• Your dietary “label” – GF, DF, paleo, keto, vegan

It’s the HOW:

• Timing of meals,
• Temperature of foods,

Experience lasting relief, deep healing, and vibrance, by treating your root causes instead of merely "band-aiding" symptoms with pills.

Ayurvedic Doctor Vasant Lad says, "When we medicate away a symptom without addressing its root causes, we complicate a disease instead of healing it".

In this episode and last week's, we'll begin to understand what our symptoms are telling us. In this way we view our body as intelligent, wise, and valuable, rather than as a nuisance who is not behaving the way we want it to. When we do this, we learn and understand and can respond in a loving, appropriate and effective way.

In last week's show, we dove into root causes 1-5:

• Stress hormone overdrive
• Stress hormone exhaustion
• Thyroid issues
• Mental and emotional stress, and
• Gut disruption

Here we'll dive into root causes 6-9 -

• Nutrient gaps, insufficiencies, and deficiencies,
• Blood sugar imbalance,
• Environmental toxins, and
• Stealth infections

When we treat our root causes instead of merely "band-aiding" symptoms, the beautiful benefits just keep rolling in: effortless weight loss, an internal sense of calm, glowing skin, increased metabolism, confidence, energy, and more.

It's time to get to the roots of issues, and stop merely treating symptoms with pills.

Our modern healthcare system's "Pill for an Ill" quick fix is NOT working, and women have more chronic diseases now than ever. Not to mention: more anxiety, overwhelm, autoimmune conditions, and a significantly reduced quality of life.

We have to shift the paradigm in our healthcare system, and it starts with each individual: and that means you.

In this episode (and in next week's follow-up episode) we'll discuss the 9 common root causes for every condition under the sun: from autoimmune disease to obesity, PCOS, and more.

In this week's show, we'll dive into root causes 1-5:

• Stress hormone overdrive
• Stress hormone exhaustion
• Thyroid issues
• Mental and emotional stress, and
• Gut disruption

Next week, stay tuned for root causes 6-9 -

• Nutrient gaps, insufficiencies, and deficiencies,
• Blood sugar imbalance,
• Environmental toxins, and
• Stealth infections

Understanding your body on this level is a 100% game-changer for your holistic health journey.

This approach blends Ayurveda and Functional Medicine to help you understand your root causes, and learn strategies to safely and effectively address them. This information will empower you and begin to give you the tools to take your health and life into your own hands.

When we gain perspective like this, we are suddenly able to heal everything. Not just the "pesky" symptom at hand: EVERYTHING.

Hormones.. that word doesn't have to make you shudder with dismay. Our hormones can be our best friends, not our worst enemies. Today, we'll talk simple tips to make that shift.

Every aspect of your life influences your hormonal health- from genetics to gut health, to your job, relationships, your self-talk, your home and personal care products, and more.   

As women in our culture – and with our doctors – we are often dismissed or told that our discomfort, pain, fertility issues, mood and energy fluctuations are all normal, no big, deal, “just buck up” etc…

We currently have an epidemic of hormonal imbalance… that manifests as painful periods, conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, fertility issues, slow and daunting perimenopause, filled with weight gain and hot flashes, and so much more. But it does not have to be this way!

We can reconnect with our bodies, tune-in and listen compassionately, and solve many of these hormonal issues ourselves, without the PILL or hysterectomies as our only options!

In episodes #s 27 and 28, I’ll empower you with my top 4 tips get more aligned with your body’s wisdom and rhythms, and help your hormones work FOR you not against you.
