| 228// My Top 5 Best and Worst Health Investments (Relaunch) | 05 Sep 2024 | 00:53:34 | |
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:
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! EPISODES MENTIONED:

| 227// Mold Success Story: How He Healed His Family from Toxic Mold Illness (ft. Matt Kelly, FP) | 29 Aug 2024 | 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.

| 218// Can You Heal Constipation with a Tortuous or Redundant Colon? (Or a Mega Colon?) | 30 Jul 2024 | 00:23:30 | |
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.

| 217// The ADHD-Mold Connection: How Mold Sets ADHD on FIRE | 25 Jul 2024 | 00:27:00 | |
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. EPISODES MENTIONED:

| 112// The Hidden Drivers Behind Anorexia - Libby Stenzel, RD | 06 Oct 2022 | 00:43:37 | |
When it comes to anorexia and disordered eating, what is talked about the most are the behavioral and psychological drivers behind it. But disordered eating, especially anorexia, is driven by more than just your mind. New research is finding that there are also neurobiological drivers - biochemical imbalances that act invisibly on the body. These biochemical imbalances don’t need to be fixed with medication. In fact, the most common neurobiological driver for those with anorexia is zinc deficiency. Yes. Zinc deficiency! Zinc is the most common micronutrient deficiency in people with eating disorders, and symptoms of zinc deficiency are eerily similar to anorexia. Symptom overlap includes:
On today's episode, I'm talking with Libby Stenzel, RD. Libby is a registered dietitian based in the Ann Arbor, Michigan, area, and an expert in anorexia and disordered eating. She specializes in helping people with disordered eating find healing and freedom with food, exercise, and body image. Today, you’ll learn how you can find freedom from shame and fear with food, heal your body more while working at it less, along with how to harness the power of balancing your internal neurobiology to overcome anorexia and disordered eating. In this conversation with Libby, I had insight into my own heath and experiences I had with food at the lowest point in my health in 2015. I hope you have the same as you listen in on this fascinating conversation. EPISODES MENTIONED:

If so - these are ALL signs that you have a congested liver! A congested liver is a non-diagnostic term to describe a liver that is not DISEASED, but is functioning sub-optimally. Your liver has LOTS of roles. It helps you digest, balance iron and glucose in your body, and detox. If your liver is congested, it can’t keep up with all its roles, and you will suffer from a wide variety of symptoms. Unfortunately, traditional doctors are neither trained to screen for a congested liver OR to teach YOU how you can heal your liver and help it function at it’s best again. On today’s episode, I’m teaching you about the mighty liver, why your liver enzymes and cholesterol might be elevated, and 3 steps you can take to NATURALLY heal your liver. And the best part about today’s episode is - You don’t need medication to make your liver healthy - or lower your cholesterol. You just need to know a little about the liver. EPISODES MENTIONED:

| 109//5 Ways to Fight Brain Fog and Fatigue [Detox Pathway #5 - Glymph] | 15 Sep 2022 | 00:39:13 | |
If so, you may have a brain detox problem in your glymphatic system. Your glymphatic system is a rarely talked about system in your brain that is responsible for transporting waste from INSIDE to OUTSIDE of your neural tissue. If this system is compromised, you will not be able to detox metabolic waste and inflammatory substances from your brain. No matter how many supplements you take or foods you change to help clear your head, you will continue to struggle with brain fog, fatigue, and memory problems. Therefore, in today’s episode, I’m teaching you 5 WAYS you can cleanse your brain by opening up your glymphatic system. I am so excited for you to regain clear, focused thinking by tapping into the magic of your glymphatic system. EPISODES MENTIONED:

Last week, I did an episode on ADHD and the MAOA 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.

To truly have healthy skin on the outside, we need to support a healthy body on the inside. On today’s episode, find out the most common INTERNAL factors involved in stubborn skin problems, and the simple steps you can take to have a fabulous skin AND body.

| 105// Clear Your Kidney Stones, UTI's, and Interstitial Cystitis [Detox Pathway #2 - Kidney] | 18 Aug 2022 | 00:51:54 | |
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.

| 103// Detoxing Is Not A Green Smoothie | 04 Aug 2022 | 00:35:48 | |
Detoxing is one of those hot words that is thrown around in the health community like a cool-kid fad. “I need to detox.” “This product detoxes your body.” “I’m detoxing.” “I bought this infrared sauna to detox.” But, as you might have figured out in your own life, just because you did something that is supposed to detox you - like green smoothies - it might not have cured all your problems. Why? Turns out - there are 7 pathways to detoxing. AND - 3 steps to truly detox ANY toxin from your body. On today’s episode, I’m going to be talking about these 7 pathways, 3 steps, green smoothies, and MORE. I am so excited to be jumping into this topic with you today.

If you’ve been on the gut health journey for any time at all now, this is the big question you’re always asking: How can I finally get better? You’ve tried all the normal gut health things. You’ve changed your diet. Maybe gone gluten free. Stuck to the low FODMAP diet. Done all the bloodwork and lab tests. But no doctor has helped you, and no blog post or meditation app has set you free from constantly trying to feel better. On today’s episode, I’m talking about why you need a TEAM to crack your gut health, the key barriers that keep you from choosing your team, and how you can create the gut health team of your dreams to help you get from sick / stuck to free and fully you.

| 101// This Is Your Sign to Rest | 21 Jul 2022 | 00:30:45 | |
Recently, I noticed that when we talk about healing, how to heal ourselves, it is always in terms of more. DOING more.
And while there is merit to the idea that there is something out there that you aren't doing yet that may hold the key to your healing, the truth also is - we are terrified of slowing down. Period. My podcast is guilty of this, too. I’ve definitely spent a majority of our episodes, by far, talking more about how you can DO more to heal yourself. In the middle of all this, we NEED to rest to heal. But despite being so fatigued, I often hear my clients say, “I’m tired. Should I just push through my tiredness?” WHY do we struggle so much with rest? There are a lot of answers to this questions. But I believe, for those who are dealing with chronic illness and the whole just not feeling well thing, there is a particular tension we deal with with rest. I call it sick rest vs. healing rest. On today’s episode, I’m talking about sick rest and healing rest - why they make it hard to rest as someone struggling with gut health problems, and how you can use both to work FOR you instead of AGAINST you. If you are listening to this podcast episode today - this is your invitation to deep, meaningful rest. WORK WITH ME:

| 100// End Bloating, Nausea, Constipation, and Food Confusion in 3 MONTHS with My Client Rachel | 14 Jul 2022 | 01:02:47 | |
It’s episode 100!!!
It has been a wild ride since I started this podcast in the fall of 2020, and since then - I did the math - I’ve helped over a hundred women change their lives by getting rid of their bloating, constipation, fatigue, PMS pain, insomnia, by helping them HEAL. THEIR. GUT.
So, to celebrate 100 episodes and over a hundred lives changed, I am bringing you yet ANOTHER story of a client of mine going from sick and stuck to strong and mobile.
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!

| 98// 3 Things Adrenal Fatigue Is Telling You About Your Body | 30 Jun 2022 | 00:48:49 | |
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. EPISODES MENTIONED:

| 97// IBS - Can You Really End It? | 23 Jun 2022 | 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. EPISODES MENTIONED:

| 95// Supplements - Do You Really Need Them? | 09 Jun 2022 | 00:38:49 | |
When clients first start working with me, I regularly hear this question: Do I really need supplements? It’s a reasonable question. The supplement industry in the US alone is valued at $151.9 billion, as of 2021. As with all things that yield great money - and can cost great money - the big question is - does it have to be this way? Add on top of that the very common experience of taking supplements and STILL not getting better, and the skepticism increases. So on today’s episode, we are going to discuss this important question - do you really need supplements? We’re going to get to the root of the problem so you can be wisest with your health, your wallet, and your ability to get better. EPISODES MENTIONED:

If so, you are not unlike both me and my clients whom I work with. Habits are key to health, and for those of us on a health journey, we WANT to develop and keep new habits that give us the energy, focus, and power we want in life. But if habits are so good for us - why are they so draining to keep? On today’s episode, I’m going to be talking about the missing link between keeping a habit for weeks or months and making a habit for a lifetime. There’s literally only ONE thing missing between keeping a habit with willpower and keeping a habit that continues to sustain itself. This makes the habit load a WHOLE lot easier - not heavier! Habits can be hard, so I am so excited to bring today’s episode to you! EPISODES MENTIONED:

| 93// Stop Struggling with Stomach Pain, Constipation, and Fatigue [Client Testimonial - Sydney] | 26 May 2022 | 00:41:04 | |
This month, we’ve been going through a series on fascia and how this un-talked about connective tissue in the body can MASSIVELY impact gut health. Fascia is the key structure I work with in my clinic using craniosacral therapy and visceral manipulation, and it’s the other-half of the work we do at Better Belly Therapies alongside functional lab testing and our Foundations Program. And on today’s episode, you are going to hear about Sydney - a real client in my clinic who recently worked with me for three months doing BOTH Craniosacral Therapy & Visceral Manipulation and functional lab testing to completely reverse her gut health troubles. When I met Sydney, she was struggling with chronic gastric pain, constipation and diarrhea, bloating, fatigue, and waking up in the middle of the night. She was on a restricted diet, recommended by her doctor, that wasn’t getting her results - and nothing else she tried was healing her gut. As a grad student and PhD candidate, Sydney needed her body to be at top performance to focus on her studies and research, but no matter what she did, she wasn’t getting better. In just three months, Sydney how has NO constipation or diarrhea, NO stomach pain, and she now regularly sleeps through the night. If you want to learn more about fascia and what we’re talking about here with craniosacral therapy and visceral manipulation, check out our Fascia 101 episode 90 to learn more about what fascia is, why you should care about it, how you can know if your fascia is impacting your gut health and, if so, what you can do about it.

| 91// The Fascia Solution to Acid Reflux | 12 May 2022 | 00:51:49 | |
On today’s episode, we are continuing a conversation we’ve had on this podcast multiple times, but with a totally new perspective: Acid Reflux. According to a National Gastrointestinal Survey in 2015 with over 70,000 participants, 30% of these participants experience acid reflux on a weekly basis. And within that group, another 35% of participants experience acid reflux even WITH taking PPI’s - a pharmaceutical designed to block acid production in the stomach and - theoretically - end acid reflux. Among the participants, younger individuals, women, Latino individuals, and participants with irritable bowel syndrome or Crohn’s disease were more likely to have continued GERD symptoms, even when taking PPIs. So - the big question -
On today’s episode, I’m diving into a rarely discussed topic in acid reflux that is KEY is solving this stubborn GI problem - fascial restrictions. Continuing with our series from last week, I’m going to teach you about how your physical body is perpetuating your acid reflux, what key anatomical structures are involved in acid reflux, and at the end of the show, I’m going to teach you three practical steps you can use TODAY to evaluate if your fascia is causing your stubborn acid reflux.

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.

| 88// Craniosacral Therapy for Fussy Infants with Colic and Reflux, with Lori Hendrickson CST | 21 Apr 2022 | 00:54:23 | |
Do you have a colic-y baby? Does it seem that, no matter how many lactation or sleep consultants you talk to, that your baby just CANNOT sleep or eat without crying, discomfort, and struggle? Does your baby or child snore, have emotional regulation problems, or seem to ALWAYS be cranky? If you said YES to any of these, your child or infant may have a tongue or lip tie, and likely has restrictions throughout his or her fascia of her body! On today’s episode, I got to interview Lori Hendrickson CST. Or, as I like to call her, The Baby Whisperer Extraordinaire. Lori takes us through the different signs of an infant or child with tongue or lip ties, what common practices in child-rearing are possibly HARMING your child’s fascial development, and how you can help your child go from struggling to thriving in their health. As a craniosacral therapist myself, I LOVED this interview with Lori. It is packed fully of juicy information, and I hope it brings you hope and inspiration that your child can still be a happy feeder and sleeper - even if it hasn’t worked for you yet!
