Listen To Your Gut – Details, episodes & analysis

In this webinar hosted by Amrita Nutrition in the UK, Natasha Trenev (founder of Natren probiotics) and I present some insider details and tips on implementing Jini’s Wild Oregano Oil Protocol to eradicate gut infection. We also answer top questions from our readers regarding natural gut healing protocols.

Then we take a lot of questions from doctors, health coaches, naturopaths, dietitians etc. who have specific questions about my protocols, or tough patient cases they’re dealing with.

This is definitely a good one, no matter where you are in your healing journey. And if you’re a health coach, or functional medicine practitioner, or naturopathic doctor, then you’ll certainly want to learn from your colleagues’ challenges and the solutions we suggest.

In this LTYG Podcast, I talk with Chiropractor and Functional Nutritionist Dr. Thomas Kutchenbrod about the common ways he sees his clients sabotage their own healing. We understand what are the top health saboteurs that are impacting your healing journey from chronic gut disorders.

We discuss the most common patterns and behaviours we’ve observed and how to lean into this crucial piece of healing any autoimmune or chronic illness.

Why are many (most?) people with Crohn’s or colitis considered overachievers, Type A personalities and people-pleasers who find it hard to say NO and set boundaries?

What is the pathway out of victimhood (why me? poor me! someone else is to blame!) into self-responsibility and self-empowerment? Learn all this and more in this podcast discussion.

We had some GREAT questions come in from a member of my Lazer Tapping program (mind/body/spirit self-healing technique) and I just had to record a video reply!

The question reads:

“What kind of support can be offered specifically around diving into & processing the emotional baggage behind the crohn’s and the gut? What support is available for guidance on getting deeper into the emotions in the gut & the meaning behind having manifested this disease?”

If you prefer to listen to this as a podcast, scroll down, or access on your favorite podcast platform.

I love the way she has already grokked the distinction of this particular disease. Because anyone familiar with the work of Louise Hay (looking at the metaphysical causes for physical illness/malfunction) already knows that where & what in the body is an important part of the message your higher self is sending you, via your physical body.

As I say in the video, grab your journal and go through these questions. It doesn’t matter which health issue you have (why did I manifest this disease?), the exploration process is the same:

1/ What’s bugging you? When you look at your life, what do you wish could be different?

– job, living situation, daily life

What’s not working for YOU? What does your soul wish was different?

2/ When you look back on your childhood – go back to in utero if you can – feel into what was happening, imagine how you might have felt?

Go through every childhood memory, write them down (bullet points are good). Go through your whole life to date.

3/ AFTER you’ve made that list, let it sit there for a few days, then come back and see where the common points are… Was there a recurring emotion? Did the same emotional state keep showing up? What themes do you notice? Any traits, patterns, or beliefs that occurred repeatedly?

4/ Use your favorite technique to connect to your body, feel for what’s there… It feels___________. Breathe. What wants to come forward today? What’s ready to be dealt with today? You can do this as a DAILY Practice.

If you need help, check out my Guided Connection: Place Your Consciousness Inside Your Body

5/ Become mindful of your daily life. How do I respond to events throughout my day? When do I become stressed? Notice the FIRST sign of stress – develop your sensitivity to catch it when it first starts.

Notice which people, situations, relationships trigger you. It’s not what happens to you, it’s how you respond. Become your own detective; notice what triggers you, and why?

6/ Notice what parts of your body feel painful. Start tapping on just the physical pain. FEEL into the pain and describe it; burning, throbbing, sharp, dull, aching, stabbing, sore etc. Give your pain permission to exist. Follow the pain if it moves around your body; if you become aware of new places that feel painful, tap on each new occurrence.

If you haven’t tried Lazer Tapping yet, come do a Free session with me.

I encourage you to actually WRITE DOWN your answers to these questions and create a roadmap for your healing journey. Remember, the journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step. Once you have the answers, you can use whichever mind/body/spirit healing modality you prefer: Lazer Tapping, hypnotherapy, craniosacral, somatic experiencing, etc.

Join me and Natasha Trenev, founder of Natren probiotics, as we answer another question from an LTYG reader. This week’s question reads:

“Many people find dairy pro-inflammatory. Should people managing inflammation avoid Natren’s dairy-based probiotics?”

Transcription:

Many people find find dairy pro-inflammatory. Should people trying to manage inflammation avoid your dairy-based probiotics?

Yeah that’s a loaded question you know dairy is one of the best suited culturing mediums for these bacteria that’s why they’re called lactobacillus meaning they are milk bacteria so that’s their favorite food if you’re not specifically allergic to dairy I would say take the dairy product it’s not going to cause more inflammation unless you’re specifically allergic to it.

You’re allergic to the components of milk basically the the protein part the the lactose can be handled because your body can be reminded how to produce the enzyme and the bacteria will produce the enzyme for you but milk has the complete nourishment for these bacteria so that they can do the best job for you. And I’ve fought this for almost 50 years this business about anti-milk and you know the the cultures that were healthy consumed you know dairy products that were fermented with proper bacteria on a daily basis so if you don’t have an allergy to milk I encourage you to take the milk products.

Can I ask you a quick question there do the dairy based powders so you have the the loose powder and then you have the capsules this is not Healthy Trinity we’re talking about the other lines, when they’re the ones that are cultured on dairy do the powders contain the dairy proteins. Yes they do but they’ve been fermented. And how about the capsules? When you when you have the powder inside the capsules does that same thing you just have less of the supernatant in the capsule than you do in the powder.

Okay so that might be a place to start then to test your tolerance and for me because I have scar tissue in my throat i can’t swallow pills I just take the capsules I open them up and I mix them in room temperature water but that would be a great way to start testing. And also because I did a couple of very intensive teleseminars with a PHD in immunology and a bunch of experts on there where we talked about the whole issue of allergies and intolerance and you know how that is very much a learned way of being in the body. So you know we may be well we’ve been off milk for a long time or we’ve been consuming pasteurized gross milk products so our body said forget milk but we can.

There’s a certain amount of re-education there that can take place by kind of like homeopathy introducing very small amounts so for me if I was wanting to do that I would start with maybe taking one capsule of the dairy based and mixing it with five or six capsules of the non-dairy and taking that together that’s a good idea. Yeah that’s a good thing you brought up you know we have the healthy start system which has all the three bacteria that’s found in the Healthy Trinity capsule so what we do is we have the same bacteria with different delivery mechanisms and different food so that those bacteria can interact with your body and we are unique nitrogen is still unique.

I can assure you there is nobody that has our system or nobody that produces the bacteria with the supernatant which means the original fermentation and products which are so important to assist the bacteria to take hold on the intestinal wall and those compounds are also important as messengers and you know interacting with the 100 billion neurons in your GI tract which is the second brain and the immune system come on over to listentoyourgut.com and grab my free ebook what you need to know about probiotics.

Mother issues and wounding – the heart-belly loop. Was your mother unwilling or unable to meet your emotional, physical, or spiritual needs?

Did you not receive enough love or nurture from your mother?



Let’s heal the physical and energetic link between our heart and our belly (Hara, Dan Tien, source of lifeforce energy) in relation to mother issues and wounding caused by our relationship with our mother. Even if you were given away at birth, you still spent almost a year listening, developing, growing, to the sound of your mother’s heartbeat. Your belly and her belly fully symbiotic through the umbilical cord. I did not even realize the significance of this, in terms of releasing mother-wounds, until one of my horses brought it to my attention!

Let’s heal this feedback loop of lack of nurture/love that circles between the heart and the belly.

I created this game-changer healing course specifically for my readers and others who are struggling with chronic health issues, disempowerment, lack of abundance, unsupportive relationships, and boring in-a-rut lives. Because our unresolved/unhealed crap holds us back!

This is my version of EFT or acupressure tapping – and it has been the cornerstone of not only healing myself physically, but also healing relationships (even abusive ones), unleashing my talents, and bringing in the money-honey – even when 4 banks in a row had turned us down (I tell you that story in my International Bestseller, Listen To Your Gut).

You’ve heard speakers and successful people say, over and over again, that the ONLY thing holding us back in life, is ourselves. IT’S TRUE. And this course will teach you how to laser-focus in on your particular blocks and saboteurs and release them!

FEEL your emotions, put them into FLOW

Let’s heal the pain & trauma that’s underneath the emotions

Re-connect with your body & suppressed emotions.

Transform negative thoughts, pain, trauma, poverty, into positivity!



Lazer Tapping is an integrated mind/body/spirit healing modality; healing, shift, release or transformation takes places across all levels of the self.

Many healers and shamans assert that all dis-ease begins first in the emotional or energy body and then is expressed through the physical body. In my own healing journey, I’ve come to align with an aboriginal belief that the spirit (or higher self) tries to speak to us, but if we don’t listen, then the spirit uses our physical body to send us the message. Because it is much harder to ignore pain, discomfort, malfunction, danger in our physical body, than it is to ignore intuition, gut feeling, or signs and symbols.

Once you get fluent in Lazer Tapping you will be AMAZED at this powerful healing tool you now have at your fingertips! Literally.

Before looking at treatments for constipation, it is important to first identify which kind of constipation you have.

Through the course of my research, consultations with clients, feedback from readers, and my own struggle with constipation, I have come to identify two different types of constipation.

Since I have not come across any labels for these in the medical literature (or perhaps I just didn’t read widely enough), I have made up my own labels to distinguish between these two different types of constipation. I call them peristaltic constipation and stenosis constipation.

Of course, while most people seem to suffer from one or the other, there are people who suffer from a combination of the two.

1. Peristaltic Constipation

This type of constipation can consist of many different symptoms or factors, but the defining elements are as follows:

• You just don’t often (or rarely, never) feel the urge to have a bowel movement. You can have stool building up in your colon for days, but no urge or urgency to poo.
• If you’ve been constipated for a long time, this build-up of stool may not even be uncomfortable anymore.
• When you do have a bowel movement, your stool is large and fairly wide. Even if it is in hard balls, the diameter is larger than half an inch.

Colonic massage can really help get your bowels moving and assist your body’s peristaltic mechanism.

2. Stenosis Constipation

I came up with the name for this one based on the medical label of anal stenosis (narrowing, tightness or stricture of the anal canal). Stenosis constipation means that you experience one or more of the scenarios below:

• You often feel the urge to defecate. In some cases, the urge can be frequent or continual. You may even feel the stool pushing against your anus, but when you try to poo, it is very difficult to pass stool and sometimes, or often, nothing comes out. When you do manage to poo, your stool can be any width, length, or consistency.
• If you’ve had this type of constipation for a long time, then your urge to defecate may have greatly lessened, if not disappeared (remember the bowel is easily trained). However, passing stool is still extremely difficult and your anus/rectum can spasm and be very tight or narrow.
• When you manage to pass stool, the stool can be very thin, sometimes only the width of a flattened pencil. You strain and push mightily and it may feel like you’re passing a huge stool, but when you look in the toilet there’s only a very narrow or small amount of stool. Stools can be soft, hard, balls, or cylinders, but rarely larger than 1/4 inch – 1/3 inch in diameter and the maximum diameter is not usually more than 1/2 inch.

**Note, we have had many readers write in asking if they can add more than the recommended number of scoops in their shakes – and if there are any downsides to this. In my book, The IBD Remission Diet, I talk about why I formulated Absorb Plus to have roughly 27 grams of protein per serving. I based that calculation on bodybuilders’ protein intake. Because if you ingest more protein than your body can utilize, it will excrete it via urine. Thus, I recommend my readers not ingest more than 1 shake per hour for efficient protein utilization. And be sure to drink your shakes slowly for maximum nutrient retention/utilization!
