THE BETTER BELLY PODCAST - Natural Constipation Remedies, Acid Reflux, Hormones, Gut Health, Functional Medicine – Details, episodes & analysis

One of most common reasons I have clients tell me that haven't healed or can't move forward in healing is because of money issues. Not enough money, not knowing where to invest their money they do have, or having wounds from previous investments that wasted money and just not wanting to repeat that again.

At least one time a year, I like to devote a few episodes to having an open conversation around money and health. My goal is to help you feel less alone in this conversation because, whether we like it or not, money IS a part of the health conversation. And my OTHER main goal is to actually give you practical tips and tricks for how to reduce the cost of healing and generally be better able to afford the healing you ultimately need.

This September, I'm covering 4 main topics:

1. My Top 5 Best and Worst Health Investments
2. My Top Tips for How to Accurately Estimate the Cost of Healing
3. My BEST Insurance Hack to Get Insurance to Cover Functional Medicine Every Single Time
4. 15 Creative Ideas to Increase Cashflow and Fund Your Healing

Today, I'm starting this series with sharing some of my biggest financial flops and wins in my pursuit of healing to encourage you, hopefully make you laugh, and prepare you for the rest of this month where I share how I went from my 5 worst investments to regularly saving the MOST amount of money possible on my health and my family's health every single year.

If you have shame around failed healing investments or if you've been trying to heal and money issues have been holding you back, then this episode is for you!

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.

If you have a tortuous colon, redundant colon, or mega colon - do you have a life sentence to constipation? Learn the answer today.

----

If you're listening to this episode, then you've likely been diagnosed with or believe you may have either a redundant colon or tortuous colon, or a mega colon. And you're wondering - if I have this, can I ever overcome my constipation?

Unfortunately for you, doctors frequently make it sound like a redundant or tortuous colon, or a mega colon, are life sentences to constipation. They often make it sound like you have this irreversible structural problem you'll never overcome, and you either have to do a surgery (that might not help anyways), take tons of laxatives, or you just aren't going to poop daily.

The good news is - this is NOT true.

But I don't expect you to simply take my word for it.

In today's episode, I'm going to dive into WHY a redundant / tortuous colon and megacolon are not life sentences to constipation, why doctors make it seem that way, and what you can do to overcome bloating and constipation in your life - even with a redundant / tortuous colon or megacolon.

Today’s episode is about ALL THINGS MICROBIOME:

• Research on prenatal health
• How your MOUTH microbiome impacts your entire health
• Signs of whether or not your mouth microbiome is healthy
• How long it takes to change your microbiome (according to research)
• What actually impacts your microbiome the most (hint: it’s not probiotics)
• How Craniosacral Therapy and emotional work can heal your microbiome

This podcast episode today is a recorded conversation with my friend and mentor, Nikki Kenward CST-D. Nikki is an international instructor of Craniosacral Therapy through the Upledger Institute. Nikki is the author of the book, “It’s All In Your Gut” and works with babies, children, and adults using Craniosacral Therapy in her clinic in the west side of London.

I have had the joy of personally attending one of Nikki’s international lectures, and am excited to bring Nikki back on the podcast for her SECOND time for her to share with you some of the top highlights of ALL the research she’s done on the gut and particularly the microbiome.

If you have questions on how to change your microbiome and heal from the inside out - then this podcast episode is for you.
