Happy last Thursday in May! As we round out the end of May, I (Allison) am finishing up the last week of my maternity leave! To celebrate this, we're pulling content from our group coaching calls inside our private coaching group, the Better Belly Blueprint, to share with YOU. Today's topic is from my client Melissa. She asked: "My previous functional medicine provider put me on a supplement for my estrogen dominance about a year ago. Since then, I have been taking I-3-C Plus Dim and Calcium-D-Glucarate everyday. I feel that it has helped me so much with my PMDD symtoms as well as gallbladder symptoms and notice a difference when I miss doses. Do I need to stop taking this for awhile when I do my DUTCH test? Would this skew the results? I can stop taking if needed but don't want to if I don't have to." Melissa's question comes from a desire to not waste money on functional lab testing by getting results that aren't even relevant or trustworthy. Yet, she also doesn't want her symptoms to come BACK by going off a supplement she's found SUPER helpful. What is Melissa to do? If you've ever been in a similar bind of wanting to do a lab test but feeling nervous about going off supplements or medications - then this episode is for you!

Happy mid-May, friends! As we finish out May, I (Allison) am finishing up my maternity leave! To help me take a break from recording new episodes, we're pulling content from our group coaching calls inside our private coaching group, the Better Belly Blueprint, to share with YOU. Today's topic is from my client Brittany. She asked: "I was wondering - how can having an umbilical hernia and having implanted mesh affect my progress with the course? I have been doing the leaky gut protocol and have been experiencing some pain and bloating that I didn't have prior. My mesh seems to be bothering me in the areas where I think it would be attached. I was wondering if you had any suggestions for relief? I'm also doing the liver protocol and getting ready to start the H. Pylori protocol." This question is a GREAT example of how, even in a program that is designed to be customized to every client, there are still small little questions that can come up that are super unique and tailored to that individual - and how having access to regular coaching can make a BIG difference in your confidence and clarity around getting results!

Happy May! As we step into the months of April and May, I (Allison) am finishing up my maternity leave. To give me a break from podcasting, we're pulling content from our group coaching calls inside our private coaching group, the Better Belly Blueprint, to share with YOU. Today's topic is from my client Krista. She asked: "What are the possible causes of oxalates being that high? I had no candida or mold on my OAT and I don't feel like I overeat oxalates... To be truthful, my true vices in everything that I have given up have oxalates - coffee, dark chocolate and a good glass of red wine. I am giving up wine this month while doing these protocols (as well as all alcohol) - which I only had 2 glasses a week. I am weaning off coffee (only had two literal sips today of half calf because I LOVE the taste) and I am really hoping I don't have to completely give up chocolate - but what do you think?" Krista's question comes from the fact that she got testing inside our program that showed that she has elevated levels of oxalates in her body that was part of the root causes driving her symptoms. Oxalates come from a variety of places, but one place you can control them the most is in your diet. What she REALLY wanted to know is - what foods does she actually have to give up? Is it all foods with oxalates? Is her oxalate problem really about food - or is it possibly something else? This is a GREAT question and one that opened us up to talking about the DEEPER root causes of oxalates other than food (because oxalate sensitivity is NEVER just about food!). If you've ever looked into a low oxalate diet, or if you're stuck on a low oxalate diet and want to know if you can EVER come off - then THIS episode is for you! Additionally - I have a WHOLE podcast episode on oxalates you can check out - 148// The Oxalate Episode. If you're new to oxalates or want to do an even deeper dive into them, then I highly recommend checking this episode out next!

Have you ever started a new supplement, and had your symptom not get better but WORSE? Were you confused by this, and wondered if you should keep taking the supplement or stop altogether? If you said yes to either of these questions, then this episode is for you! On today's episode, we're sharing an audio from one our private, group coaching calls for members of my program, the Better Belly Blueprint. On this coaching question, I'm coaching my client Barbara about a rash on a neck she had suddenly return upon starting a new supplement. Based on the training inside the Better Belly Blueprint, Barbara connected that this new supplement may be creating something called a Herxheimer reaction, or a detox and die-off reaction, so she stopped the supplement. What she WASN'T sure about was - when (if ever?) could she safely re-start the supplement? If you've ever been in a similar place to Barbara and have wondered about if you should keep taking a supplement if it gives you symptoms and, if yes, when or how to take that supplement safely - then you DON'T want to miss out on my answer to Barbara!

Have you ever done a protocol, and wondered if it was making any difference? Or even more specifically - have you ever done a candida protocol and wondered if it worked, or if you needed to do it again? If you said "yes" to any of these questions, then you are just like my client Elizabeth! In today's episode, I'm sharing a question from one of our group coaching calls inside my private coaching group, the Better Belly Blueprint, to share with YOU. Today's topic on candida is from my client Elizabeth. She asks: "How do I know when my candida is gone? As a reminder, I'm re-doing my candida protocol on week 4. (Update: I got diarrhea with the candida treatment the first round, but I don't now!). I do continue to get bloating after I eat any meal. Should I re-test for candida after I finish my protocol? I just want to know what exactly is causing the bloating and why it isn't gone yet!" What she REALLY wanted to know is - why is her bloating still here? And how can she know if the candida is gone if she still has that particular symptom? It can TOTALLY be rough going through a protocol and seeing improvement in some symptoms, but not in others (especially one(s) that you care about the most!). So if you've ever had anxiety around this question before, you DON'T want to miss my answer to Elizabeth!

Happy April! As we step into the months of April and May, I (Allison) am on maternity leave. To celebrate this, we're pulling content from our group coaching calls inside our private coaching group, the Better Belly Blueprint, to share with YOU. Today's topic is from my client Lynne. She asked: "I have received my results from my 2nd HTMA test, and I'm not sure how to interpret it. I have rewatched the HTMA analysis video, but still not confident I know what changes to make to my protocols (if any). Can you help confirm if I'm understanding this correctly?" Lynne's question comes from the powerful fact that inside our program, the Better Belly Blueprint, we teach YOU how to be your own best healer through lab interpretation and analysis - saving you time and money AND giving you the power to understand your own body's areas that need to heal. What Lynne REALLY wanted to know is - can I help her be confident that she's understanding her new lab re-test correctly before she moves forward with her plan? So cool! How much would YOU like to get support, just like this, to feel 100% confident you're moving in the right direction in your healing? A lot, right! And Lynne got ALL this for 3 months of coaching for just one, low fee (that usually is the cost of ONE appointment with a functional health practitioner!). If you want to ask questions to me JUST LIKE THIS ONE and get my live feedback just like Lynne did - now you can!

Happy April! As we step into the months of April and May, I (Allison) am on maternity leave. To celebrate this, we're pulling content from our group coaching calls inside our private coaching group, the Better Belly Blueprint, to share with YOU. Today's topic is from my client Lynne. She asked: "I have received my results from my 2nd HTMA test, and I'm not sure how to interpret it. I have rewatched the HTMA analysis video, but still not confident I know what changes to make to my protocols (if any). Can you help confirm if I'm understanding this correctly?" Lynne's question comes from the powerful fact that inside our program, the Better Belly Blueprint, we teach YOU how to be your own best healer through lab interpretation and analysis - saving you time and money AND giving you the power to understand your own body's areas that need to heal. What Lynne REALLY wanted to know is - can I help her be confident that she's understanding her new lab re-test correctly before she moves forward with her plan? So cool! How much would YOU like to get support, just like this, to feel 100% confident you're moving in the right direction in your healing? A lot, right! And Lynne got ALL this for 3 months of coaching for just one, low fee (that usually is the cost of ONE appointment with a functional health practitioner!). If you want to ask questions to me JUST LIKE THIS ONE and get my live feedback just like Lynne did - now you can!

In your opinion, what do I really need to dial in as far as nutrition while I am trying to heal my gut?"Krista's question comes on the heels of having made some great improvements in her health and symptoms such as having more energy in afternoon, being able to function perfectly with NO coffee/caffeine, bloating being down, distention is 50% better, and being able to fall asleep MUCH faster through the night.

When I first met Jamie, she had been dealing with gut health issues, as of a mom of 2, since high school. She'd spent all of her developing years searching for a solution to her bloating, constipation, and acid reflux - only to get answers from doctors that never worked OR made her feel worse.

After just ONE MONTH following her personalized protocols she built in the program using our protocol templates and her unique lab results, Jamie was having daily bowel movements and NO bloat - for the first time in decades!!Now, Jamie is joining us on the podcast to share her story of how taking a step of faith in one more solution for her gut not only helped her while in the program, but has created sustained change in her - even a year after finishing the program.If you're a little like Jamie and have been dealing with gut health issues for years, or even decades, and are tired of the same bloat, constipation, and acid reflux recommendations that don't work - then this episode is for you.Tune in to learn exactly how Jamie found natural constipation relief for her bloated belly - and why this solution could be for you, too.

Following up on the last 2 episodes, I am continuing on with our mini-series here on air filters and toxic mold. On today's episode, I'm interviewing Edward Brahnam. Edward Brahnam is a product research and development executive in a Fortune 100 company. For the past six years, he has been focused on the biology, chemistry, and physics of how to remove harmful contaminants from the air in a consumer & indoor setting. Together with his wife, Lynne, they have started their own company, Optimal Indoor Air, to apply what they've learned about healthy air quality to help those in critical IAQ situations - including those suffering from mold toxicity.As Edward and his wife, Lynne, navigated the messy and uncharted path to healing Lynne from mold, they discovered one tool that has become indispensable for them: the Hi-Tech Air Reactor.With a background in legal and a keen nose for sniffing out false claims and bad science, Lynne and her scientist-engineer husband Edward are breaking down the science behind and legitimacy of the Hi-Tech Air Reactor.Whether you've been with us for the past 2 episodes learning more about Hi-Tech Air Reactor and it's life-changing power against mold, or you're simply doing more research on the best air filter for mold, get ready. On today's episode, we're diving into all things science behind what I'm calling the best air filter for mold - the Hi-Tech Air ReactorI hope you love this episode as MUCH as I did and that, if you're a science-nerd like me, that the information Edward brings today fascinates and encourages you as you seek to better understand how to heal from mold.

Following up on last week's episode, I am continuing on with our mini-series here on air filters and toxic mold. On today's episode, I'm interviewing Lynne Furtado. Lynne Furtado is a former Fortune 100 Executive whose own path through a moldy home and the aftermath led her to focusing on helping others on their own path through dealing with mold.As she and her husband Edward navigated the messy and uncharted path to healing from mold, they discovered one tool that has become indispensable for them: the Hi-Tech Air Reactor.With a background in legal and a keen nose for sniffing out false claims and bad science, Lynne and her scientist-engineer husband Edward are breaking down the science behind and legitimacy of the Hi-Tech Air Reactor over the next two episodes.But before we dig TOO much into the science, Lynne will be sharing today her personal story with mold and how, after decades of dealing with chronic illness (much of which she now reflects was likely driven by mold), this one product, the Hi-Tech Air Reactor, changed her life.I hope you love this episode as MUCH as I did, as you get to hear another wonderful success story of fighting mold and, hopefully, get some actionable tidbits for you to use yourself as you try to navigate and heal as quickly as possible from mold illness.

I first recorded this particular podcast episode on with my friend and colleague Bekah Yawn on her podcast, For the Love of Hormones. I loved it so much, that I asked Bekah if I could re-release the episode on the Better Belly Podcast, and she said yes!Copper toxicity has a HUGE role in histamine creation and metabolization.

Learn the wide range of histamine intolerance symptoms, why the low histamine diet isn't enough, and the 6 root causes to high histamine.---Histamine Intolerance is one of the most misunderstood, poorly treated chronic illness issues out there.Most commonly, it is oversimplified as simply an issue that can be resolved by diet control. Unfortunately, the low histamine diet does not heal histamine intolerance at all, but merely masks the issue through symptom managmenet.Can a low histamine diet reduce histamine symptoms? Yes.Can you ever get off of the low histamine diet through doing the diet alone? No. The low histamine diet does NOT heal your sensitivity to histamine (which is actually possible). It merely enslave you to your histamine intolerance.That's why, on today's episode, I'm diving into how to ACTUAL heal from histamine intolerance.On today's episode, I'll be talking through the A's to Z's of histamine intolerance, including: What histamine isSymptoms of Histamine IntoleranceAnd my histamine intolerance treatment to naturally and COMPLETELY heal you from your histamine sensitivity so you can eat high histamine foods again AND have no histamine symptoms - everIf you're ready to determine if histamine is ruling YOUR life or end the cycle of slavery to histamine, then this episode is for you.Timestamps:00:00 - Introduction to Histamine Intolerance00:07 - Misconceptions About Low Histamine Diets00:55 - Episode Overview and Goals03:07 - Understanding Histamine07:51 - Histamine Intolerance Explained13:31 - Symptoms of Histamine Intolerance23:49 - Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance36:51 - Healing Histamine Intolerance41:14 - Conclusion and Next StepsEPISODES MENTIONED:234// Symptoms of Candida Overgrowth, How to Test for Candida, and Why the Candida Diet and Candida Cleanses Don't Work

When I first met Don, Don had been dealing with diarrhea, stomach pain, bloating, acid reflux, fatigue, and insomnia for over 40 years!The depth and intensity of his symptoms cannot be exaggerated. Before our first conversation together, Don wrote to me that his stomach pain and explosive diarrhea was sometimes so bad that he'd pass out in the bathroom, only to wake up on the floor sweating and weak, then sleep on the floor near the bathroom just out of fatigue. His goal in working together through our Better Belly Blueprint program was to be able to travel. As a recent retiree and grandfather, Don's ONLY goal was to be able to finally participate in vacations and travel with his family, and new grandchildren, like he hadn't been able to do throughout his 20's, 30's, 40's, and 50's.On today's episode, you're in for a treat. As a graduate of the Better Belly Blueprint program, Don has agreed to come onto the podcast share his rags-to-riches version of healing his body through the Better Belly Blueprint - even when nothing had worked and dozens of the best GI doctors in the country had failed to help him. Whether or not your symptoms are EXACTLY the same type or intensity of Don's, I hope you find encouragement and hope from today's episode. Because if Don can heal after 40 years of medications, pain, and being told by GI doctors that there was nothing he could do - then you can, too!FIND HEALING, JUST LIKE DON!Option #1)

For over 20 years, Andrea has been plagued by bloating, constipation, fatigue, reflux, no period, and hot/cold temperature changes. She's kept all these symptoms under control through a SUPER restricted diet she was put on 20 years ago, but a few months before she came to me, her symptoms suddenly worsened and multiplied! Acid reflux, heartburn, fatigue, headaches, neck tension, difficulty staying asleep, and waking up in the middle of the night. Her gut, hormones, and body were a complete wreck. She didn't want to go down this road again, but she didn't know what else she could do other than restrict her diet. That's when she found Better Belly Therapies. After just a few days on her first protocol, she slept through the night completely - for the first time in years!3 months after starting her first protocol, she was pooping daily, her period was back and COMPLETELY normal (no pain), and her acid reflux was almost completely gone.All without being on a super restricted diet.How did she make such a dramatic improvement? And how can you do the same?Learn all this and more in today's episode! Let's jump in.

 Back in January, I did a big poll to better understand the problems that you, my listeners, are currently dealing with. And one of the BIGGEST problems that came up was something I just really haven't talked a lot about yet - hormones.There were four categories of hormonal questions that came up around: periods, pregnancy & postpartum, perimenopause, and PCOS.I find that MOST conversations around these hormones make them sound SUPER complicated, but in reality, they can be explained, and supported, in SUPER simple ways.So I wanted to create my own series showing you exactly how I think of and support my hormones and my clients hormones at each of these stages.Today's topic is all about Perimenopause!I'll be answering:What perimenopause isWhat age perimenopause should happen at2 natural perimenopause support strategies you can use - at ANY age - to prepare for and manage this transitionToday is PART THREE in our Healthy Hormones Series. Stay tuned for our LAST Part 4: PCOS.Almost every woman will go through all these stages of hormones at some point in their life, or we know someone right now going through them. So be sure to stay tuned!
