Fitness is her passion. When she was in her teens, She used to read her Dad's Muscle & Fitness magazines and attempt to lift weights and work out in their unfinished basement with a weight bench and some dumbbells. Her mom would take her to Jazzercise classes with her. She struggled with her weight, but it was during those early years that she caught the fitness bug. Before she was a fitness competitor, she played field hockey all through high school and college. While in college, she became a certified aerobics instructor (back when they called it “aerobics” and leotards and leg warmers were all the rage). She also received her personal trainer certification. She taught everything from step aerobics to kickboxing (who remembers Billy Blanks' Tae Bo style?). Then she started running…she ran 5Ks, 10Ks, half marathons, some sprint triathlons, two marathons (NYC and Philly), a Warrior Dash and a Tough Mudder. But she wanted more. In the late 90's she discovered fitness competitions (think bodybuilding meets beauty pageant), which involved a fitness routine and posing routine. She took gymnastics lessons as a 25-year-old with a class full of 9-year-old's. It was not her cup of tea. Fast forward to 2012 when she discovered a trainer who was also an IFBB figure pro who was willing to prep her for her first figure competition. Most organizations had eliminated the fitness routine portion and she was ready to finally tackle this challenge. She competed in her first competition in 2012 and continued to compete until this past year when she obtained her pro card — four years in the making! What she loves more than anything is when people say they're inspired by what she has done or motivated to try working out.

Does being an FDN practitioner mean every little health symptom you've ever had has to be perfect? Absolutely not. What it DOES mean is that you are someone who will continuously "walk the walk" of being healthy. It means you will never give up trying new things until you get the results you want. It also means you are willing to do whatever you can to help others along their own healing journey. Our guest today, Tina Haupert, is a PERFECT example of all of this!   Tina diagnosed with ulcerative colitis over a decade ago, which was particularly surprising to her since she engaged in many "healthy" lifestyle habits. While she did what she could for the diagnosis at the time, in the back of her head, she also knew that what she had been told was a bit scary, and as a result, it didn't quite get the attention that it deserved.   Fast-forward several years, and the symptoms got bad enough that Tina could no longer pretend it would one day go away on it's own. Worse yet, she started dealing with a myriad of other symptoms, too, ones that are not too dissimilar from many of the ones our other guests have experienced. It was at that point that she knew some MAJOR changes needed to occur.   As of today, Tina has been an FDNP for 4 years and has a thriving practice. She feels significantly better, and has managed to get her UC into remission through a combination of lifestyle changes and medication. It is also worth noting that she is still progressing on her healing journey, so who knows what a couple more years will bring?   If you're someone who has been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, this is DEFINITELY for you.

After battling for over 13 years, Evan had what he calls an "aha" moment that saved his life. Soon after, he would find the worlds of biohacking and functional medicine, and those helped him reverse his mental health issues for good.

In this episode, Tina speaks with Natalie Newhart, Mindset Coach & Former Pro CrossFit Athlete and BodyBuilder, about why so many women over 35 struggle with losing weight.

A former professional athlete and physique bodybuilder, she's no stranger to dragging herself through workouts, forcing herself to follow “the plan” regardless of how she feels, and counting every single calorie, step and rep. This way of being resulted in her in the hospital at the age of 30 and diagnosed with: hypothyroid, adrenal fatigue, stress-induced menopause, stress-induced diabetes, and rapidly gaining weight. She was one of the fittest athletes in the world, and at the same time- one of the sickest. Doctors told her she needed to find a way to not stress if she wanted to gain her health and wellbeing back. The traditional stress-management approach of walk more, meditate, and take naps failed to create any change, and didn't serve her body goals either. It wasn't until she started to do the internal work on herself did she start to see the changes she was looking for. For the last 6 years, she's dedicated herself to mastering her body and mind. She's trained with some of the world's best psychologists, neurologists, female fat loss physicians, and even Shaolin monks! She's spent the last 15 years helping thousands of women bring an end to their obsessive dieting mindset, compulsive eating behaviors, and neurotic exercise habits by addressing the deep psychological relationship with food and fitness. Unlike most fitness professionals, she understands that perpetual dieting and forced exercise is a personal issue that goes FAR beyond food, weight, and body goals. Natalie's coaching takes an untraditional approach to regaining control with food, rediscovering a love for movement and retraining the way we think about weight loss. Natalie's coaching is for those women who are done with being entertained by traditional diet strategies and is serious about making a REAL change - from the inside out. They don't just want another short term fix- they want to MASTER their relationship with food and exercise.

We explore the differences between macrominerals and trace minerals, and discuss common deficiencies and their symptoms. Tina explains why it's crucial to get minerals from food-based sources, rather than relying solely on supplements, and shares insights into some of the best food sources of minerals. We also discuss common misconceptions about minerals and women's health. With practical tips and advice, this episode provides valuable insights for women looking to optimize their mineral intake and overall health through diet and lifestyle changes. www.carrotsncake.com www.instagram.com/carrotsncake https://www.youtube.com/@carrotsncake www.alidamron.com www.alidamron.com/consults www.alidamron.com/heal www.alidamron.com/period www.instagram.com/alidamron Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/alidamron

Resources Don't Miss These ThoughtsWho is Tina Haupert?According to Tina, what exactly is UC (ulcerative colitis)?Tina's full story: when she got sick, how she knew, testing, etc? And what were some of her uc symptoms?What are some specific foods Tina thinks help during ulcerative colitis flare-ups and also makes her feel much worse during the flare?Has Tina personally found any prescription medications and/or supplements that work really well for the treatment of ulcerative colitis?What are some of the lifestyle factors Tina knows she has to focus on in order to keep severe symptoms at bay? Getting enough sleep? Following a specific diet? Finding a good support group? Using a food journal? Keeping stress levels at a minimum? Etc.What is one thing that didn't work on Tina's journey?Tina's best piece of advice for anyone struggling with severe ulcerative colitis (or any other form of IBD for that matter) when it comes to improving overall quality of life?When it comes to UC, what is something Tina thinks most people don't understand? What is Ulcerative Colitis?Tina describes ulcerative colitis as an "inflammatory condition where ulcers form in the colon."UC is, in fact, a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).This condition mainly affects the lining of the large intestine, one of the last portions of the gastrointestinal tract.Some of the most common symptoms of ulcerative colitis are abdominal pain, bloody stools, mucus, fatigue, poor appetite, and frequent bowel movements.Tina admits that she doesn't know how to "heal" UC per se, but more research surrounding the root causes is emerging.UC is believed to be caused by the interaction of several factors including the immune system, genetics, microbiome health, and the environment.New data proves that UC is likely caused by a combination of incorrect immune signaling and bacterial or viral presence in the colon.In a normal individual, the immune cells of one's immune system would send inflammatory markers in response to a foreign body or bacteria.However, this would die down once the pathogen was removed from the body.In someone with UC, it is believed that an overactive immune system continues to send inflammatory markers once the pathogen is removed.This results in... you guessed it: A constant state of inflammation and stomach upset.The goal of treatment is remission or the state of keeping the inflammation at bay.Since this disease is chronic, there is no way to "cure" it but the symptoms of UC can be reduced with proper treatment.Source: HEREEating for UCAlthough it is so tempting to think that a diet can solve your gut issues, Tina reminds us that this is entirely incorrect.She tried so many different diets including paleo, AIP, carnivore, and elemental, all of which didn't make much of a difference.Her advice for flare-friendly foods comes down to this:focus on consistency of foods- soft and easy to digestfoods such as smoothies, soups, broths- a lot of the fiber and harder to digest components broken down alreadyturn to whole food sources- stay away from processed food, fake sugarsprocessed foods are both inflammatory and lack a lot of necessary nutrients for maintaining a calm and happy gutbalanced diet KEY to healingshift attention to how you are eating- eat in a calm state that encourages optimal digestionparasympathetic activation of nervous system takes place in a relaxed headspaceincrease mineral consumption through whole foods- mineral balancing can make a HUGE issue as most people with Gutsy issues also have mineral deficiencies Tina's advice for eating centers around being "kind to [her] digestion," a mindset I think could be helpful for all of us to live by.She chooses foods that are healing and soothing in nature, and eats in a way that feels the best for her.By focusing so much attention to a specific diet, sometimes we can lose what feels best to us, and cause much more stress than is needed.Concentrating on these more healing ways of eating is the best way to feed your gut.Medication and SupplementationWhile a lot of us may have feelings of guilt surrounding traditional Western medicine, sometimes you just need it! There is no shame in using Western medicine, that is what it was made for.Remember this? --> Sometimes you just need the d#$% medication!Tina's current treatment uses prednisone, a medication that helps to decrease inflammation. She has tried many different medications, most of which have significantly helped her.Some of the most common Western medicines for UC include:aminosalicylates- reduce inflammation in the intestinal wallantibiotics- used to combat signs of infectionbiologics- suppress immune system and target specific immune system components such as cytokines or white blood cellscorticosteroids- used for temporary inflammation reliefimmune modifiers- help prevent chronic inflammatory response All of these medications are entirely FINE to try and hold no moral value. You are not reducing your gut healing by turning to Western medicine.In fact, a lot of people find the most success by toeing the line between drug therapy and alternative medicine.Here are some holistic medicine treatment options:Aloe vera- naturally reduces inflammationBoswellia serrata- anti-inflammatory and slows down intestinal motilityButyrate- helps with inflammation in milld UC casesLicorice- glycyrrhizin helps with inflammationSlippery elm- anti-inflammatoryCurcumin- helps break down fat and reduce inflammation A lot of these natural supplements are also good options for anyone starting their gut health journey.More information on anti-inflammatory herbs can be found in this article HERE.Sources: HERE and HEREMineral DeficienciesAs with most any Gutsy issue, mineral deficiencies are extremely common in those with UC.The gut does not absorb the nutrients it needs and our entire body suffers as a consequence.Tina loves focusing part of her practice on increasing nutrient absorption, in particular minerals, to help jumpstart full body healing.Minerals act as electrolytes within our body, which help cells function."Electrolytes are the spark our cells need to function properly"Tina Haupert It is crucial to eat foods that are nutrient-dense so that we can more readily absorb minerals and vitamins.If needed, dietary supplements are always a great option.A little plug, but the Gutsy supplement line is perfect for tackling these absorption issues. They are formulated specifically for people with GI issues, to encourage optimal bioavailability. Check the line out HERE.Lifestyle SwapsIn addition to medications and diet, Tina also reveals some of the top lifestyle changes she made that helps her overall health and UC diagnosis.managing stresssetting boundaries in personal and professional lifeespecially important for those with type A personalities (most of us) that feel the need to be working 24/7!prioritizing sleepSLOWING down and taking time for yourselfallow your body time to rest and wind downtherapy Diet and supplementation will not work on their own, it takes a full lifestyle swap as well.Tina mentions how important it is to GIVE YOURSELF GRACE and focus on self-love.Let your body take the time it needs to heal and prioritize rest time.Mental SupportAs with most chronic conditions, the diagnosis of ulcerative colitis can come with some serious emotional distress, Feelings of shame, grief, and sadness are all very common when receiving a diagnosis such as this one.Tina found relief in both the use of talk therapy and group therapy in her treatment plan.She recommends the group IBD coach group, which is an online platform of ulcerative colitis members. It is a lifelong membership full of individuals striving to stay in remission and reclaim their health.Groups such as this can be so helpful for working through the emotional side of the illness. Surrounding yourself with a community full of people struggling in similar ways can help alleviate some of the isolation out of UC.Talk therapy is another great option. Having the chance to talk with a professional about your own personal feelings and struggles can be very helpful. Oftentimes they can teach you coping strategies and give advice on mindset shifts.Long term, both of these are great options for any sort of chronic condition.Closing ThoughtsTina closes by offering all Gutsy girls two pieces of advice.Don't give up:It is so easy to fall into a state of acceptance with feeling bad but you DESERVE to feel good. There is always something more you can try, don't fall victim to complacency.We can only heal ourselves:Healing comes down to you and you alone at the end of the day. You are the "expert" on your own body and it is up to you whether or not you want to reclaim your health. Digestive disorders are so individualized, you have to recognize what treatment feels good and what is not working.She also mentions that hyper-fixation on any diet or supplement is NOT the key to healing. It is a combination of so many different factors that all come together to heal. Fixating on one aspect of healing will only result in increased stress and obsessive behavior. Healing is entirely possible, but it requires more than one piece.More from A Gutsy GirlWant to learn even more about the gut and ways to heal it?Learn all the secrets via my signature book, A Gutsy Girl's Bible: a 21-day approach to healing the gut.

After being diagnosed with a form of IBD, it can be a real challenge to understand that treatment is ongoing. Which might mean taking medications for long periods of time. It also means adding in lifestyle changes such as focusing on nutrition and diet, sleep, exercise, stress reduction, and learning about complimentary treatments that might be helpful. There are a lot of barriers to getting treatment, though, including cost and access. Some people might not realize that not only can their healthcare team can help with accessing and understanding treatment choices, but that complimentary therapies have a valid place in the management of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Dr Badr Al-Bawardy, a gastroenterologist specializing in IBD and Assistant Professor of Medicine at Yale University School of Medicine and Tina Haupert, an ulcerative colitis patient, Certified Nutrition Coach, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, and founder of Carrots ‘N' Cake uncover the ways medication and lifestyle changes can meet in the middle to help people with IBD live a better quality of life.

When a diet doesn't work, we blame ourselves. It's so common in women, and I see it all the time. Women believe THEY are the problem when they don't get the results they want. They think they just need more willpower, more consistency, and wake up at 4:00 AM to exercise. This approach (and mindset) is detrimental to progress, and it turns out that your diet is ACTUALLY the problem - not you!

Our already picky eater went through a phase not too long ago where he really wasn't eating anything. Quinn would go multiple days in a row where he would barely eat anything at all. Mal and I started to get nervous because Quinn was losing weight, and he started to eat fewer and fewer foods. So we reached out to Kacie Barnes, MCN, RDN (Mama Knows Nutrition) for help. Her ideas and advice were so amazing, I just had to share it with other parents who might be struggling as well.

Hey you wild women!     Tina Haupert is the founder of Carrots ‘N' Cake, a popular blog dedicated to sharing her love of food, staying fit, and living a healthy life. What initially began as a personal blog to hold herself accountable as her wedding day approached morphed into CNC at present— a go-to resource for all things healthy living, from her love of delicious food (and wine) to fun workouts, quick beauty, and fashion tips, and the ‘true life' of tackling a chronic illness (ulcerative colitis) headfirst. Her journey with a chronic illness and working closely with female nutrition clients inspired her to become a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P) in 2019. She knew when dealing with her own health issues and helping other women improve their body composition goals, there was always more to the story than simply eating well and exercise. Stress, gut health, and hormones were often key players, so now she uses functional testing and a whole health approach to help her clients (and myself). She is the author of three books, Carrots 'n' Cake: Healthy Living One Carrot and Cupcake at a Time, The Part-time vegetarian, and The Everything Macro Cookbook.   In This Episode, You Will Learn About: How Tina believes “The best is yet to come” How to just keep pushing through How her breaking point was balancing a full-time job and starting a business How she believes that anything is possible Her biggest mistake was not having a clear idea of what to do How having a bigger picture plan is crucial Laying out what a partnership looks like Started Carrots n Cake to organize her fitness and healthy recipes so that she could look good for her wedding date Explains macros: Is protein, carbs, and fat. Why she transitioned to 1-1 coaching away from just blogging to grow her business Bad gut health symptoms are often associated to gas, bloating, skin issues, hormone imbalance, anxiety, sleep issues.  How batching is key to being organized How not to be distracted by the mundane.
