In this episode, I chat with Karen Langston, dubbed the Poop Queen by thousands of students and clients, about the importance of paying attention to the clues your poop leaves behind about the state of your health. Karen also shares her own journey with Crohn's Disease and how she reversed this disease in her life. “A habit is like memorization. We do it until it becomes a habit, but if you have the experience behind it and you start feeling well there is no habit. It becomes a habit because you like the way that you feel.” Karen Langston Karen gets excited about health and digestion and "you will probably be excited too once you understand how digestion works, how the pancreas works, how the gallbladder works, how that's interacting with everything else that is going on in your life--the aches the pains, the migraines, and the skin issues."

Ivy and Devra shared tips in Episode 23 about strengthening the immune system so that we can protect ourselves, our loved ones, and our communities so we are airing this episode again.

In this episode,  Karen Langston, Nutritionist, my mentor and friend, discusses the ketogenic lifestyle (Keto) and her personal journey adapting to a Keto lifestyle.  Is the Ketogenic lifestyle right for you?  Listen in to get the scoop.  Karen is known as the Poop Queen.  Karen helped herself and many others reverse symptoms of Crohn’s Disease.  If you haven’t already listened to Episode 2 of Wake the Health Up, or you want to refresh your memory, go back and listen to learn more of Karen’s story, gut health, and all that poop. Karen's Favorite Cheesy Cauliflower If you are really craving Mac N Cheese, try this dish out. Your tastebuds are going to love you!    INGREDIENTS 1.5 pounds fresh cauliflower 1/2 medium onion, diced 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream 3 oz cream cheese 1 tsp powdered mustard 1/2 cup muenster cheese, cubed 1 1/2 cup cheddar, shredded 1 tablespoon black pepper 2 cloves  fresh garlic, minced 1-2  tablespoon avocado oil 1-2 teaspoons of avocado oil  INSTRUCTIONS Preheat oven to 400 degrees Cut cauliflower into small to medium size chunks. Add to a large baking dish. Drizzle with avocado oil. Place in oven and roast until golden about 30 -45 minutes. Some pieces may be soft and some may be semi soft. This is OK.   Meanwhile, at about the 30 minute mark of the cauliflower roasting start the sauce step below. In a large sauce pan, over medium heat add avocado oil, and sauté onions until softened. Add heavy cream to pan, lower heat and bring to simmer - do not let it boil.  Break cream cheese into small pieces and add to pot stirring quickly.  Add the powdered mustard, fresh garlic, pepper and sea salt to sauce pan. Once the cream cheese is smooth, remove pan from heat. Combine cream mixture with muenster cheese and 1 cup cheddar. Stir quickly with spatula until smooth.  Add the roasted cauliflower to the pot. It is better to add the cauliflower because you can scrape the sides getting all the cheese.  Add the cheesy cauliflower back to the same baking dish; top with remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese. Bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes until boiling and cheese is brown.  You can freeze portions and this is wonderful reheated too! I love mine with Primal Kitchen’s Spicy Ketchup Unsweetened; so good! Enjoy!  Karen   Devra Betts, author, speaker, Wellness Architect and Lifestyle Coach helps women reframe, remodel, repair, and restore wellness so that they have the energy, clarity, and vitality to do all the things God gifted and created them to do.

Dubbed the Poop Queen by thousands of students and clients, Karen Langston discusses the importance of paying attention to your poop and understanding clues that your poop leaves behind, such as structure, frequency, and color, that reveal that state of your gut health.

It becomes a habit because you like the way that you feel.”  Karen Langston Karen gets excited about health and digestion and "you will probably be excited too once you understand how digestion works, how the pancreas works, how the gallbladder works, how that's interacting with everything else that is going on in your life--the aches the pains, the migraines, and the skin issues."   To work with Karen, invite her to speak, or to subscribe to her very informative newsletter connect with her at: www.karenlangston.com www.healthygutadvisor.com email: karen@iamworthit2.com facebook.com/karenlangstonnutritionist Devra Betts, is the founder of R & D Nutrition for Life (devrabetts.com), a healthy gut advisor, and integrative wellness consultant.
