Most people don't realize they're making these critical mistakes when it comes to navigating their constipation.And without knowing you're making these mistakes, you could be keeping yourself in a constipation cycle.Because after all, it is a cycle. Constipation --> methane released --> methane causes bloating --> methane also causes more constipation --> reactions to high fibre foods --> avoidance of high fibre foods --> worsening dysbiosis --> more constipation...To avoid the cycle, you need to be consistent with the things you implement and you need to get your bowels in a rhythm.I recommend taking notes during this one, it's packed full of info you won't want to sleep on._______________________________________Join the Healthy Gut Solution Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/thehealthygutsolutionFollow Roslyn on Instagram:www.instagram.com/plantsfirstnutritionApply to work with Roslyn one-on-one:https://roslyn744831.typeform.com/to/ZAuGom6T

There are many known benefits that accompany the switch to a plant based diet, but what about the changes that come unexpectedly?For my former client, Michelle, this was the trajectory of her time working with me.There were the aspects of her health she knew she wanted to work on and indeed saw positive changes in: gut health, reflux, and weight loss.But there were also the many changes that came unexpectedly in the process: improved PMS symptoms, less joint pain, fewer aches and body stiffness.In this episode of the podcast, Michelle and I chat about her journey from meat focused meal prepping to whole food plant based living and all of the baby steps that she took to get to where she is now: thriving, happy, healthy and plant powered.If you're looking for inspiration for your own gut health journey, look no further!___________________________Join the Healthy Gut Solution Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/thehealthygutsolutionFollow Roslyn on Instagram: www.instagram.com/plantsfirstnutrition

Have you been recommended the low FODMAP diet by a practitioner before?I have.In fact, I was told to Google it. Yes, Google it. By a Gastroenterologist, none the less.Did I follow it? Not really.Why? Because I was both overwhelming, and unconvinced that it was what I needed to solve my IBS.And thankfully,  my intuition was correct.In this episode of the podcast I chat about:- What the low FODMAP diet is- What are the flaw and benefits of it- What happens if you follow it long term- Whether or not it benefits the microbiome- What are the risks- What my preferred alternative strategy is

When your doctor diagnosed you with a thyroid imbalance, did they explain the gut-thyroid connection to you?Most likely not.What most women aren't being told is that there is in fact a connection and if addressed properly, can transform the entire trajectory of your thyroid healing journey.In this episode of the PPG Show, I interview Dr. Travis Cox, who dives deep into the details of this connection in addition to: 1. What the thyroid gland is2. What are the signs and symptoms of a thyroid imbalance3. How prevalent is Hashimoto's disease (hint: it's a lot more common than you'd think)4. What the microbiome mash-up is5. What to look for when testing for a thyroid imbalance6. The difference between Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism7.

Ever been told by your practitioner that you need to have an IgG food sensitivity test done in order to properly "heal" the gut?Or what about a microbiome specific stool test?If you're on a gut healing journey, then chances are, you've been recommended both.But is there evidence to support the fact that either are accurate or useful?On today's episode of the podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Matthew Nagra, who takes an evidence based approach to his practice as a Naturopathic Doctor.In this episode, Dr. Nagra clears the air around various gut health topics including gluten, anti-nutrients, gut health testing, and bloating caused by beans and legumes and helps shed light on what the science really says about each.Questions answered:1. Are food sensitivity tests valid?2. Are microbiome stool tests valid?3. What is celiac disease?4. Who should avoid gluten?5. Is gluten inflammatory for the gut?6. What about zonulin?7. How can we reduce the bloating that comes from consuming beans and legumes?8. Are "anti-nutrients" safe to consume?__________________________________________________Follow Dr. Nagra on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.matthewnagra/Join the Healthy Gut Solution Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/thehealthygutsolution Follow Roslyn on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/plantsfirstnutrition

Welcome to the first Q&A podcast episode!I thought, what better way to speak to my audience than answer their questions directly! In this episode I answer questions such as:- Why am I still getting gas and bloating if I'm plant based?- What do thin bowel movements mean?- What are the uses and benefits of marshmallow root?- What symptoms can I expect if I'm healing?- How much of one food is enough to feed our microbiome (when slowly reintroducing foods)?As always, thank you for tuning into the show!- RosFollow me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/plantsfirstnutritionJoin the Healthy Gut Solution Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/thehealthygutsolutionReferences made: The Microbiome Solution by Dr. Robynne Chutkan

Did you know that there are at least 3 nutrients you need to be supplementing with in order to lead a healthy plant based lifestyle?And surprisingly, it's not just vegans who need to worry about these nutrients anymore!On this episode of the podcast, I'm joined by CEO/Co-Founder of No meat Athlete, 80/20 Plants and Complement, Matt Tullman, who sits down to chat with me about why he started the Complement brand and what his mission is with their line of plant based supplements and snacks.Not sure if you're getting the nutrients you need to thrive as a vegan or plant based eater?

What if eating plant based doesn't have to be complicated?What if your meals could be simple, diverse, flavourful and quick to prepare, all the while helping you lose weight, gain energy and prevent chronic disease?In today's episode, three-time vegan cookbook author and plant-based lifestyle coach, Kathy Davis, explains how you can do all of that through a single simple principal of adding in more plants to your everyday life.Kathy is on a mission to help high-achieving entrepreneurs successfully transition to a plant based way of eating that supports their fast-paced lifestyle, without requiring hours in the kitchen or the added stress of “What am I going to eat?”If you're feeling overwhelmed with transitioning to a more plant based lifestyle and you aren't sure where to begin, then this episode is for you!You can find Kathy here:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/veginspired/ Website: https://www.veginspired.comFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/veginspiredfoodies___________________Follow Roslyn on Instagram: www.instagram.com/plantsfirstnutritionJoin the Healthy Gut Solution Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/thehealhygutsolution

Oh, the dreaded bloat.When it strikes, sometimes your only option is to hide, crawl up in a ball and wait for your 9-months-pregnant-belly to calm the f*ck down.It's uncomfortable, inconvenient, and incredibly frustrating.But what I want more people to know is that all bloating is not created equally. In fact—there are multiple reasons you could be having chronic bloating.This podcast does not cover an exhaustive list by any means, but it should give you a very good idea of where to start with investigating the root of your bloat.Join the Healthy Gut Solution Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/thehealthygutsolutionFollow Roslyn on Instagram:www.instagram.com/plantsfirstnutrition

Chronic yeast infections, increasing food sensitivities, poor digestion, irregular bowel movements, brain fog and fatigue.These are just a few of the symptoms you might present with if you struggle with a candida overgrowth.Marisa Ricci, fellow RHN and Candida Nutritionist, is on a mission to educate as many women as she can on what's going on in their bodies and how a candida overgrowth might be the culprit behind their symptoms.Marisa went through her own extensive health journey to uncover what her chronic symptoms meant and she had to jump through many hoops to get the answers that she needed. Many years, many visits to various doctors, and many hours studying nutrition later, and Marisa is well equipped to help her clients navigate through their own candida overgrowths without the same restrictive dieting protocols that she tried herself.Interested in learning more about Candidiasis and candida overgrowth symptoms?

Most of us have been on THAT journey. The one where we look at ourselves in the mirror and think, "I wish I looked different".And if there's anyone I know who can understand this journey through and through all the while growing despite it all, it's Kim McMullen. Badass, single mom, mountain adventurer, business owner, female role model, plant eater, and all things real and raw. These are some of the words that come to mind when I think about Kim.Kim is a special kind of human. The kind you want in your corner no matter the occasion. But while Kim's personality, gifts, and passion ring so loud and true, she isn't afraid to step out and shine light on the parts of her life and her relationship with her body that brought her here—to this place of beautiful polarity where she can celebrate both the amazing and the uncomfortable, the wild and the mundane. In this episode, Kim and I chat all things self-love, Girl in the Wild (her incredible non-profit company that hosts free camps for young girls in wild spaces where they learn to love the crap out of themselves), solo adventuring in the backcountry, fuelling her (and her son's) body with plants, and plenty more that will be sure to warm your heart.If you're on a journey to loving yourself fiercely, flaws and all, this is an episode for you.Happy listening!

The internet is scary place these days.Within 5 minutes of scrolling your Instagram or Facebook feed, you're almost guaranteed to come across one or more posts claiming that "coconut oil is good for gut health", "bone broth will heal your gut", or "you need to eat gluten free to heal the gut".Cue the eye roll.I'm growing increasingly tired of seeing these misinformed claims claims sprawled all over social media with zero accountability being held by the fear mongerers who post them.Let's set the facts straight, shall we?In this episode of the podcast I'll be uncovering what the most popular gut health myths are, and what the truth behind each one really is._______________________Join the Healthy Gut Solution Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/the-healthy-gut-solutionFollow Roslyn on Instagram: www.instagram.com/plantsfirstnutrition

Is it safe to feed my dog a plant based diet?What are their nutrient considerations?Aren't all dogs meant to be carnivores?Are all dog foods made the same?In this episode of the podcast, I chat with Amanda Rolat, founder and CEO of Bramble, a whole food, plant based, fresh pet food company with a focus on nutrition for dogs. Amanda left her 10 year career in law to pursue her passions for sustainable nutrition when she realized there just wasn't enough quality dog food brands on the market, let alone ones that were also plant based.And so, Bramble was born after carefully researching and considering the unique needs of dogs when it comes to feeding them an optimal, balanced diet.If you're interested in transitioning your dog onto a plant based diet, but you have questions, concerns and a healthy dose of skepticism, then this is the episode for you!You can find Bramble:https://www.bramblepets.comhttps://www.instagram.com/bramblepets/https://www.facebook.com/bramblepets______________________To join the Healthy Gut Solution Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/thehealthygutsolution Follow Roslyn on Instagram: www.instagram.com/plantsfirstnutrition

What happens if you eat ONLY meat (plus 4 veggies for good measure) and other animal products to try and heal the gut?What happens if you re-introduce all kinds of fibre rich foods once you realize how unrealistic this is?Well, my client Tatiana did just that before starting to work with me back in April, 2021.If you're someone who feels like your gut is simply too far gone to salvage, then you're going to want to listen to this episode.__________________To join the Healthy Gut  Solution Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/thehealthygutsolution Follow Roslyn on Instagram: www.instagram.com/plantsfirstnutrition

There's a massive disconnect between the care we receive in the conventional medicine model to address health ailments, and the care we actually need to heal and thrive.When you think of a Chiropractor, what do you think of? Aches, pains, adjustments?I did too.But after chatting with Dr. Chris McLaine about the foundations of his Chiropractic practice, my perspective of this type of care took a complete 180.Dr. McLaine is a TBI survivor, and when he went back to school at the age of 43 to become a neurologically based Chiropractic doctor, he set out on a mission to prevent as many people as possible from winding up in the health care "merry-go-round" that he did.In this episode of the podcast we talk about:- Dr. McLaine's story with a near death experience and a traumatic brain injury- Why a plant based diet is important for the nervous system and beyond- What the gut brain connection entails (we get into the juicy details)- Why his practice includes a variety of healing modalities - The incredible benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy- How to build a healthy "gut garden"- And more!You can find Dr. Chris McLaine here: https://youroptimalhealthchiropractor.com/dr-chris-mclaine/__________________Join the Healthy Gut Solution Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/thehealthygutsolution Follow Roslyn on Instagram:www.instagram.com/plantsfirstnutrition

In a world where we have access to so many experiences, things, and so much freedom, why do so many of still struggle to experience true joy?Why do so many people live on auto pilot?Why are so many of us always searching for that next thing rather than living in the present?Mary Giordano, Health and Mindset coach, RN, DNA Fitness Coach, Nutritionist, and CEO of JOY 360° Coaching, is here to give us some clarity on what's missing from our lives when we feel like we're lacking joy (hint: it's not a new car or relationship).If you're someone who feels like there's always something “missing” and you're struggling to find joy in the day to day of your life, then this episode is for you.You can find Mary: Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/thejoyformulagroupInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejoyformula/ __________________Join the Healthy Gut Solution Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/thehealthygutsolutionFollow Roslyn on Instagram: www.instagram.com/plantsfirstnutrition

Anxiety and Depression are on the rise.Which means that gut-brain disorders such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome are also on the rise.Have you ever been recommended medication to manage your mental health?Has a friend, or family member?And has anyone ever explained to you just how connected your gut and brain really are?The bad news is, anxiety and depression won't disappear with time and many of the conventional medicines used to treat these conditions have huge consequences for your gut health.The good news is, there are evidence based, holistic treatments that exist and can help you overcome and manage your mental health imbalance, and thus, the gut health symptoms that go along with it.On this episode of the Plant Powered Gut Show, I have the pleasure of chatting with Dr. Roseanne Capanna-Hodge—a mental health trailblazer, founder of The Global Institute of Children's Mental Health, and media expert who is, “Changing the way we view and treat children's mental health”.  Dr. Roseann's work has helped thousands reverse the most challenging conditions: ADHD, anxiety, mood, Lyme, and more using proven holistic therapies.

Is stress the last thing you want to address in your gut repairing journey?Do you feel like you're on the right path to health, but something bigger is missing?Enter your nervous system.Fight or flight, rest and digest, cortisol and the vagus nerve all play an incredibly important role in how your responds to and becomes affected by stress, and your failure to address the gut brain connection might be keeping you stuck in your symptoms. Most people don't want to hear it, but your body cannot heal if you're chronically stressed.And Dr. Alyssa (AH-LEE-SHA) Runyon is here to explain how your gut and brain may be much more connected than you think, plus, why stress might be the limiting factor in your health journey.You can find Dr. Alyssa Runyon here:The Reset 3 Program: www.Reset3.caDr. Alyssa's Clinic: www.Sol-Barrie.caInstagram: @R.e.s.e.t.3 @barriesol

Most of us grow up thinking that poop is a taboo subject—that we shouldn't dare talk about it. That it's gross, and not something you EVER bring up at the dinner table.The problem is, when we grow up with these beliefs, we often miss out on what's going on inside our body and in our overall gut health. If you poop and flush without ever looking in the toilet, then you're missing out on some of the most important information of your health, and quite frankly, that's a problem.Your daily (hopefully) bowel movement is a GOLD MINE. It's a window into your microbiome, and if I've learned one thing working as a gut health Holistic Nutritionist, it's that your microbiome is at the epicentre of health. So that begs the question, what does a perfect poop even look like?What does a crappy (pun intended) poop look like?What are some of the warning signs that things have gone wrong?In today's episode, we're breaking ALL the "bathroom talk" rules and diving straight into the goods (not literally).

Ever wondered what goes on in the microbiome when your bacteria break down fibre?Curious about the difference between fibre supplements and eating a whole food plant based diet? Want to understand more of the science behind fibre degradation?Well, you've come to the right podcast! On this episode of the Plant Powered Gut Show, I interview Dr. Julie Grondin, expert on all things fibre and the bacteria that break them down.Julie did her PhD in biochemistry at Queen's University, where she studied the structure and function of enzymes produced by pathogenic gut bacteria. Next, she spent 3 years working as a postdoctoral fellow at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, and she has now been a postdoctoral fellow at the University of British Columbia for 3 years. Over her career, she has used a range of techniques (like bioengineering, structural biology, microbiology) to study how species of bacterial in the human gut recognize and degrade various forms of dietary fibre.Julie is passionate about science education and outreach and she volunteers with the Society for Canadian Women in Science and Technology, mentoring female high school students about choosing and navigating careers in STEM. She is also teaching a course at UBC called Communicating Science, where she teaches students how to communicate science to fellow scientists, as well as the general public.
