If your family does not deal with food allergies, it can be easy to assume this episode is not for you. But after this conversation with Kathlena, The Allergy Chef, I think every parent will walk away with more empathy, awareness, and practical tools for helping all kids feel included.Kathlena's stories are powerful, heartbreaking, and deeply hopeful. We talked about the hidden isolation many families experience and the surprisingly simple ways we can make our homes, classrooms, and communities safer and more welcoming for everyone.In this episode, we discuss:Why many families with food allergies feel socially isolated — even during everyday gatheringsThe emotional story of a 12-year-old receiving her very first safe birthday cakeSimple ways to include kids with food allergies without making things complicatedWhy “food-free” gatherings can sometimes be the best solutionWhat parents often misunderstand about severe food allergies and cross-contaminationHow empathy and communication can completely change a child's experienceWhy schools and parents need to advocate earlier and more openlyPractical ways to teach kids kindness, flexibility, and inclusion around food differencesThis conversation is such an important reminder that connection matters more than perfection — and that small acts of thoughtfulness can have a lifelong impact on a child.You can watch Kathlena in action at this year's #LifeSkillsNow summer camp.

I have to tell you, this episode completely stretched my understanding of food allergies, chronic illness, and what it means to truly listen to your body.Kathlena, also known as The Allergy Chef, has one of the most unbelievable stories I have ever heard. She personally manages more than 200 food allergies and intolerances, was once given 30 days to live, and today somehow works as a chef helping other families navigate food restrictions with creativity and hope.But this conversation is not just about extreme allergies. It is also about paying attention to our kids, respecting what their bodies may be telling us, and understanding that no two humans respond to food the same way. Kathlena brings so much wisdom, humor, and perspective to a topic that can feel incredibly overwhelming for families.In this episode, we cover:How Kathlena went years without proper diagnosis despite severe reactionsWhat happened when she finally started eliminating foods on her ownWhy she believes kids should never be forced to eat foods they rejectWhat daily life looks like when you can safely eat only a handful of foodsHow food allergies changed the way her whole family cooked and ateWhy involving kids in food preparation builds confidence and resilienceThe surprising connection between chronic inflammation and obesityThe “five pillars of health” that helped transform her family's healthYou can watch Kathlena in action at this year's #LifeSkillsNow summer camp.

Is IBS still running your life - even though you've tried the low FODMAP diet? Are you cutting out more and more foods, following all the “rules", taking probiotics or supplements, and still dealing with bloating, indigestion, and abdominal pain? Or maybe the low FODMAP diet worked at first, but now your IBS symptoms are creeping back in and you're wondering, why did it stop working? If you said yes to any of these questions, this episode is for you. Today, we're talking about one of the most recommended IBS treatments out there: the IBS low FODMAP diet. This was the diet I put myself on in 2015 when my IBS, constipation, and bloating started. It was the diet I followed perfectly for 2 years because it helped reduce my symptoms, but it never fully healed my gut, and every time I tried to reintroduce foods, all my symptoms came rushing back. Now, after working with hundreds of clients with IBS for over 8 years, I've heard this story over and over and over again. So on today's episode, I'm diving into WHY the low FODMAP diet is not working for thousands of people with IBS (likely millions) - and what to do instead to find IBS relief. In today's episode, we'll talk about:What the low FODMAP diet isWho developed itHow the low FODMAP diet for IBS theoretically is supposed to workWhy, for many people, the low FODMAP diet isn't helpingWhat to do instead to find your real IBS causes and get the IBS treatment you need to permanently reverse your IBS Because removing foods isn't the same thing as healing your gut. And if your low FODMAP diet isn't working… there's a reason. Let's go find it.

Have you ever found yourself wondering, “Can I ever hope again?"Have you been doing everything you know how to do to heal - and yet the emotional weight of chronic illness still feels crushing?Or maybe you wouldn't even call it depression… but you feel numb, exhausted, or like hope just doesn't come as easily as it used to. If you said yes to any of those questions, this episode is for you. Today's episode closes out our series exploring the emotional weight of chronic illness. No protocols. No strategies. No fixing. In this Discipleship Series, I've been sharing the things that anchored me on my journey toward wholeness — even in seasons where I felt like I was making absolutely no progress. The goal is simple: to slow down and talk about the matters of the heart. To sit together for a moment and ask — with who you are right now, not the future healed version of you — how do you tend your heart? How do you find hope again when chronic illness and depression feel intertwined? This is for you if you've been sick for months or years. And if you're not sure you'd call yourself chronically ill, but you've been carrying something heavy for a long time, this is for you too. In today's episode, we're diving into:Chronic illness and depressionWhat to do when hope feels dangerous or painfulHow to balance the emotion of hope without devalidating or suppressing your personal experienceSharing my personal story of how I found hope in the middle of chronic pain, loneliness, no answers, and no reason to see a future where anything was different If you've been doing everything you know how to do and you're still not better, I hope this episode meets you exactly where you are. Not to fix you. Not to promise a breakthrough. But to strengthen something inside you that illness may have been quietly wearing down. P.S. In this episode, I'll be sharing from my own faith background, because that's where many of these lessons were shaped for me. But these conversations are for anyone who's looking for steadiness, meaning, and hope in the middle of a hard season. I hope this blesses you.

Have you ever imagined finally being well… and instead of feeling excited, you felt anxious?Have you quietly wondered, “If I get better… who will I be?”Or maybe you've been so deep in chronic illness that it feels safer to stay where you are than to face the unknown future of being healthy again. If you said yes to any of those questions, this episode is for you. Today's episode continues our series exploring the emotional weight of chronic illness. No protocols. No strategies. No fixing. In this series on chronic illness and mental health, I'm sharing the things that anchored me on my journey toward wholeness — even in seasons where I felt like I was making zero progress. The goal is simple: to slow down and talk about the matters of the heart. To sit together for a moment and ask — with who you are right now, not the future healed version of you — how do you tend your heart? How do you find emotional, internal health when chronic illness anxiety is quietly shaping your future? This is for you if you've been sick for months or years. And if you're not sure you'd call yourself chronically ill, but you've been carrying something heavy for a long time, this is for you too. In today's episode, we're diving into:Chronic illness anxiety and fear of the futureThe difference between being impacted by illness and becoming your illnessA powerful journal prompt you can do today to reveal any hidden fears you may have about getting better If you've been doing everything you know how to do and you're still not better, I hope this episode meets you exactly where you are. Not to fix you. Not to promise a breakthrough. But to gently surface something that may be quietly influencing your healing more than you realize. P.S. In this episode, I'll be sharing from my own faith background, because that's where many of these lessons were shaped for me. But these conversations are for anyone who's looking for steadiness, clarity, and courage as they look toward a healthier future. I hope this blesses you.

What makes some people heal faster than others?And how can you use that information to speed up your own healing process? Since healing myself in 2018, I've worked with hundreds of men and women — in my clinic and online — to find and fix the root causes behind their gut, skin, sinus, hormone, and autoimmune issues. And after working with all these clients, I started asking myself: what made the difference that helps some clients heal fast, while others healed slow? Was it random who healed quickly? Or was it from invisible, uncontrollable factors like their genes? Turns out—it wasn't random. And it definitely wasn't genetics. There were clear, repeatable habits my fastest-healing clients shared. Today, I'm breaking down the top 3 things my most successful clients do to heal their gut FAST—so you can do the same.

What does it truly take to transform a simple side hustle into a nationally recognized brand—and what if you could change lives along the way? In this episode of The Angel Next Door Podcast, host Marcia invites Angie Bastian, co-founder of the beloved snack brand BOOMCHICKAPOP, to share the remarkable journey of building a business from the family garage all the way to a multimillion-dollar acquisition. Angie's story challenges the traditional image of entrepreneurship, laying bare both the financial scrambles and the deeply human rewards that accompany the pursuit of a dream.Angie Bastian, who, along with her husband, Dan, started popping kettle corn in 2001 to help fund their children's college education, never imagined she'd become a leader in the natural foods movement. With no prior business experience—Angie was a nurse, her husband a teacher—the Bastians hustled at farmers markets, connected with local sports teams, and relentlessly pushed through setbacks to turn their “Angie's Kettle Corn” into the global phenomenon BOOMCHICKAPOP. Angie's dedication to transparency, clean ingredients, and her community sets her apart as an entrepreneurial role model.This episode is packed with invaluable lessons as Angie details the scrappy financing tactics, the reimagining of their brand, the leap to building their own manufacturing plant, and the deep impact of sharing success with their employees. It's a candid conversation about perseverance, integrity, and redefining what business can mean for families and communities. And don't miss the tear-jerking story Angie tells at the end of the episode – it's a true heart warmer.

If you're anything like me and my family, you may already be familiar (and appreciative!) of the innovative and delicious food brand we're spotlighting today, Siete Family Foods, a company dedicated to sharing Mexican-American cuisine with those who want or need grain-free options. Today's guests are sister and brother – Veronica Garza, Siete's Co-Founder, President, and Chief Innovation Officer, and Miguel Garza, Co-Founder and CEO. They're here to talk about their first cookbook, The Siete Table, which features over a hundred gluten free Mexican-American dishes that span every course and occasion. Of course, we cover the brand's backstory – after Veronica Garza had many autoimmune issues show up, including lupus, she started to do CrossFit with her family in her parents' backyard. After switching to a grain-free diet, she noticed her joints weren't bothering her anymore, which was the catalyst to starting this company. Miguel and Veronica discuss the recipes they can't wait to share, why sharing these recipes is so special to them, and the inspiring story of how Veronica (as well as other family members) took a huge risk in order to get Siete off the ground. You will learn about...The start of it all: the almond flour tortilla Veronica's struggles with autoimmune issues How her diet restrictions clashed with her culture Coming together as a family: support is everything Pushing through the pain of lupus Six to nine months of diet and lifestyle changes to resolve her symptoms Risking Veronica's insurance coverage to get started The Garza family captures an entrepreneurial spark Expanding the product (chips, seasonings, crunchy shells, etc.) Ethos and mission of Siete Family Foods Family first, family second, business third An admittedly bad first company name revealed Seven members of the family: “Siete” Building a soul-aligned company The Siete Table: writing a cookbook Favorite recipes from the book Inspirations for The Siete Table Resources:Order Siete Table: https://sietefoods.com/pages/siete-table (sietefoods.com/pages/siete-table) Find Siete products near you: https://sietefoods.com/pages/locator (sietefoods.com/pages/locator) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sietefoods/?hl=en (@sietefoods) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SieteFoods/ (Siete Foods) Twitter: https://twitter.com/SieteFoods (@SieteFoods) Connect with Kelly:https://kellyleveque.com/ (kellyleveque.com) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bewellbykelly/ (@bewellbykelly) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bewellbykelly/ (www.facebook.com/bewellbykelly) Be Well By Kelly is produced by http://crate.media/ (Crate Media).
