Podcasts about IBS

Gut issues, bloat, brain fog, and mystery sensitivities are more common than ever and if you feel like nothing's working, this episode is for you. This week, we're joined by gut health guru Bethany Cameron (aka @lilsipper), the powerhouse behind the Digest This podcast and founder of Bethany's Pantry. After nearly dying from severe digestive issues, Bethany healed herself without meds, feeding tubes, or extreme diets—and now she's here to help us do the same. We get into it all: the sneaky ingredients lurking in your “healthy” snacks (spoiler: it's not just stevia), the bloat pills flooding your feed, and the truth about what's actually causing your IBS symptoms. Bethany shares her go-to healing foods, pantry staples to ditch ASAP, and why not all fiber (or collagen or enzymes) are created equal. PS: Hot girls really do have IBS. Let's stop pretending otherwise.

Check out today's questions:    Trish: Hi Dr. Cabral - I'm a 55-year-old female working on lowering overall inflammation in my body. My CRP levels are (4.1), ApoB (118 nmol/L and Lipoprotein (A) (281 nmol/L) as you can see are high. Total Cholesterol 221 and Triglycerides are 70. I have a lot of stiffness with joint discomfort. I started taking 2 Proteolytic Enzymes upon waking. Then your DNS, D3/k2, Cell Boost, Inflamma Soothe, Collagen with GLP Tone System and some of your other products (eye and hair). I follow your Med diet. My pain and stiffness have improved ALOT in a matter of days. I'm going to retest my CRP and chol levels in 4 months. My question is how long can I take Proteolytic Enzymes and in your opinion am I taking the proper protocol for these issues? I'm retesting in 4 mos. Thank you in advance          Sheena: Hi Dr Cabral! Hope you and all of your health family are well. I'm a surgical Processor and on my feet all day. I've tried all kinds of compression socks but by the end of the day, after taking it off, my leg are soo itchy! I scratch it sometimes so bad it starts to bleed. I'm only wearing the average 15-20 mmHG so its not too tight. I'm curious if you have a recommendation for compression socks that wont causes itching but is effective? Thanks in advance for answering!      Christina: Stephen, I have listened on one of your podcasts about Rheumatoid Arthritis and detoxing. My mother is in her early 70s and her fingers are twisting. I am 48 and recently the base of my thumbs have started bothering me. My question is, what detox protocol should my mother start with to prevent further twisting of her fingers and what detox protocol should I do to prevent this from happening to me? I would love to do the heavy metals and organic acid tests, but unfortunately I live in NY. Would my functional medicine doctor be able to order them for me? I have had HELLP, HUS, DIC, Guillian Barre, and Pulminary Edema in my pregnancy at 21. My son was delivered with no issues! At this time, we learned that I have ITTP. I have had IBS issues. Thank you, Christina                      Ryan: Hi dr cabral, Im a 29 year old male who has addisons disease, chronic post nasal drip, food intolerance's and teeth grinding a stool test confirmed klebsiella pneumonie overgrowth and blastocystis hominis as well as some yeast and fungus with no Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus detected, I recently started the cbo protocol with citricidal drops im 7 days in untill i came across one of your videos where you mentioned you should go for the parasite first should i stop the cbo protocol and start the para support protocol and then continue the cbo after or just continue the cbo protocol Thank you for your time wishing you all the best ryan.                                                                                                                                     Kay: Hi Dr. Cabral, I I love your podcasts and look forward to them every week. Anyway, I was wondering if you could please explain how a traumatic event could spur the onset of a "dis-ease" such as asthma. My daughter's asthma began shortly after her father and I were separated and he moved out of state. According to her pediatrician at the time, she was "more prone to having asthma because she also had eczema." This was 2 decades ago, and now she's 31 and we know more about autoimmune issues. Although she continues to carry an inhaler with her, she hardly needs to use it anymore. What would you recommend for a more root cause approach to someone with her condition? Thank you.                                  Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3466 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

This week, I'm talking with Stefanie Adler, a functional diagnostic nutritionist who transformed her own childhood of chronic digestive issues into a mission to help families heal through food.   After being told at age 12 that she'd have to live with IBS forever, Stefanie changed her diet against medical advice and watched symptoms she'd had for 13 years disappear within months. Now she helps parents decode their children's symptoms by addressing root causes rather than masking problems.   Join us today as Stefanie shares practical strategies for building your child's immune system through protective foods, simple swaps for common household toxins, and ways to make real food appealing even when everyone else has packaged snacks.    Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://planningplaytime.com/106

I've had clients come to me with thousands of dollars in functional labs, and still no answers for their health issues; which means they wasted their money. Labs like a GI map (gut microbiome), OAT (organic acid test), HTMA (hair tissue mineral analysis) and other tests can be helpful, but they may not be needed; and in some cases, they're downright wasteful of your money.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: What lab tests are worth your money Which tests are a waste, and which to avoid How I help 90% of my cients avoid spedning money on labs How to get the most out of your functional labs   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

Candida Overgrowth: The Hidden Factor Sabotaging Your Gut, Hormones, and Energy Are you stuck in a cycle of fatigue, brain fog, bloating, and stubborn weight gain no matter what you do? If you're in perimenopause or struggling with digestive issues like IBS, there's a hidden culprit you might not have considered—Candida overgrowth. It's a common issue I see in women experiencing hormone imbalances, low energy, and weight loss resistance, and it could be quietly disrupting your gut health and metabolism. In this episode, I share how Candida can create a ripple effect throughout your body, affecting everything from your mood and focus to your hormones and immune system. We'll unpack how Candida thrives in modern lifestyles, why it's often missed in traditional testing, and what you need to know to start supporting your body naturally.

How hormone shifts in perimenopause and menopause make women more susceptible to gut imbalances like Candida. A little-known gut-brain link that might explain your energy crashes and mood swings. The key role of your liver in keeping hormones and Candida in check (and what happens when it's overloaded). Why this matters for your health Candida overgrowth is rarely just about your gut—it's tied to cortisol and stress, blood sugar balance, and even thyroid health. If you've been feeling stuck in cycles of exhaustion or digestive discomfort, this episode will help you uncover the “why” behind your symptoms. I'll guide you through the patterns I see with clients and the science behind bringing your gut and hormones back into balance.

Now, having uncovered the truth about irritable bowel syndrome, she is on a passionate mission to share this knowledge with women everywhere, empowering them to overcome IBS and its debilitating symptoms, and ultimately master their gut health.

Welcome back to another episode of Talking Gut! Today, we're joined once again by the legendary Professor Doug Drossman, a pioneer in the field of disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI), such as IBS. You may remember Dr. Drossman from Episode 13, where we explored the biopsychosocial model of care, and Episode 18, where we discussed communication strategies to strengthen the provider–patient relationship. In this episode, we shift focus to neuromodulators medications that can play a key role in managing symptoms of DGBI. Dr. Drossman helps us unpack what these medications are, how they work, the science behind their use, and why they're often misunderstood. We also talk about their role in treating both pain and motility symptoms, their impact on mood and gut function, and how they can be tailored to each patient's needs. Whether you're a patient exploring treatment options or a clinician looking to enhance your knowledge and confidence in prescribing these therapies, this conversation offers a wealth of evidence-based insight, practical guidance, and empathy. Dr. Drossman's vast experience from his research and clinical work to his leadership in education and training makes this a rich and informative discussion. So whether you're new to the world of neuromodulators or seeking a deeper understanding, we hope you enjoy this enlightening and empowering episode with Dr. Doug Drossman.

Dr. Mayer unpacks groundbreaking research on how men and women differ in their responses to stress, emotional stimuli, and gut sensations. Drawing from studies at UCLA's Oppenheimer Center, the conversation highlights key differences in brain-gut communication, revealing how neural pathways influence both emotional and physical health.You'll learn why women are more prone to conditions like IBS, how heart rate variability reflects emotional processing, and why men tend to show more action-oriented responses to stress. Dr. Mayer also explores the growing potential of personalized therapy—tailored to biological and psychological differences—to transform how we treat chronic gut-brain conditions.Key Topics Covered:• Sex-based differences in stress response patterns• Brainstem connectivity and gut sensitivity• Emotional awareness and heart rate variability• Chronic disease and the gut-brain connection• Personalized therapies based on genderUnderstanding these sex-based differences isn't just fascinating—it's essential for developing more effective, tailored approaches to brain-gut health.

Welcome back to ask uncut where we answer your deep, dark and burning questions! Britt’s suffering from both a croissant injury and from a troll on instagram. Have you ever sent something to the person you’re talking about instead of the friend you meant to send it to?Vibes for the week:Britt - board game ArticulateLaura - Netflix film Scoop Keeshia - Bunnings ‘How To’ Video series Then we jump into your questions!TO LOOK OR NOT LOOK DURING BIRTH!My entire family had a bit of a heated argument about about whether the father should have a peep at their child being born during active birth. My opinion is that the father should at least have a quick glance at what the woman has to go through to have a child. I really don’t want to sound insensitive as I know some people can be grossed out. I am also a nurse so I don’t know if that impacts my opinion as I don’t get turned off by these things. I also understand there are certain circumstances where this would not be encouraged by midwives/doctors but in best case scenario with a healthy vaginal birth, I’d love to hear what you all have to say HOW DO I TELL MY HUSBAND I’VE BEEN ADDING TOMATO TO HIS DISHES?!My husband told me when we met that he is allergic to tomato… as in he has IBS from it and he ends up on the toilet. For 6 years I haven’t cooked with tomato, can you imagine?!! No tomato in any dishes, it’s been hell. But, about 4 weeks ago I got ballsy and I added tomato to our bolognese I even blended it so he wouldn’t see and omg it tasted amazing!!! It had been so long. He didn’t run to the toilet after and he said if it was my best one yet… obviously because it had tomato in it!!! So the last 4 weeks I have been adding tomato to our dinners and hiding it and he has been fine! So my issue is… how do I tell him? Or do I never tell him? He will be sooo mad if he finds out I did that to him! DON’T WANT TO INVITE MUM’S NEW BF TO MY WEDDINGI’m getting married next year (yay!) but I have a bit of a dilemma. My parents split a few years ago, and since then, my mum’s had a string of short-term boyfriends. She’s now dating someone new and will likely want to bring him to the wedding, as she will want to parade her ‘new man’ to the rest of the family Here’s the issue: I don’t like him, and it’s very likely they won’t still be together by then anyway. Our wedding is small and intimate, and I really don’t want a random in the photos - especially someone who might not be around long-term. Am I being unreasonable if I don’t want to invite him (or whoever she’s dating at the time)? Or is it okay to gently set that boundary? WHO MOVES FOR LONG DISTANCE LOVE?!I’m 25 and met the man of my dreams during a 2 week contiki. We clicked from the moment we met and were inseparable. He’s genuinely everything I’ve ever wanted and more. Except he lives in Canada and I’m Aussie. I have spent literally my entire life focusing on academics- sacrificing every family event imaginable to do this. I’m now a junior doctor with an immaculate reputation planning to specialise in anaesthetics which is very competitive. I don’t have a medical licence in Canada. To get one, it would be 2 exams costing $5000 assuming I pass the first time. Then I don’t think I’d have much of a chance getting into anaesthetics in a foreign country. He has spent 10 years working his way up the hierarchy of a jewellery store company, where he is now their top manager - he’s moved twice to open new stores for them. Apparently there’s very few jewellery suppliers for the stores (like whole sales I assume) in Canada- his dad owns one and this guy plans to work for his dad eventually. He’s humble so hasn’t talked specifics, but this sounds like a multimillion dollar opportunity. It is going to be INCREDIBLY difficult for either of us to move. It feels like one of us will take a massive step back in our career that we may never be able to overcome. What should I do? Do we need to give up now? We’re both on the same page that we’ve never had a connection like this before. I truly think he could be my penguin. We’ve been calling >1hour everyday for now a month post the trip. We want to make it work. But how? I don’t know how to ask one of us to make the ultimate sacrifice when we’re both so career driven. I’m realistically 8 years away from finishing anaesthetics training (assuming I get on when planned) so waiting this out isn’t really realistic.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared welcomes back naturopathic physician Dr. Lexi Loch from Terry Naturally to uncover two of the most powerful herbs in natural medicine: Boswellia and Curcumin (from Turmeric). While many are familiar with turmeric for inflammation, few realize that Boswellia (also known as frankincense) targets a completely different inflammatory pathway—one that traditional NSAIDs and pain relievers don't touch. Together, these herbs form a potent, well-researched duo for addressing pain and inflammation in the gut, joints, lungs, and beyond. You'll learn about the unique pathway that Boswellia modulates, the advantages of this unique curcumin extract over conventional turmeric extracts, and how combining the two offers faster and longer-lasting support. Whether you're struggling with IBS, asthma, joint pain, or simply want to manage everyday inflammation more naturally, this episode provides evidence-based insight and practical guidance you can trust.Products:Terry Naturally Boswellia & Curcumin ProductsAdditional Information:#524: Maximum Absorption of Nutrients for Energy, Pain, Immune, and Respiratory Challenges with Dr. Lexi LochVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

Your body never forgets and it keeps track of every thought, mood, trauma and emotion, storing them inside your body's tissues. Over time, as these things accumulate in your body, they cause inflammation and contribute to chronic disease and even autoimmune conditions.  This has been well understood by other cultures for thousands of years and is only now being proven by modern science.   TOPICS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE: Why stress and trauma is not just a psychological event How your body stores emotions and memories in its tissues How these emotions can be released by manioulating the physical muscle, fascia or other tissues Functional medicine, sound and red light therapy How stored emotions can create symptoms that just won't go away - no matter what you do Takeaway action steps so you can begin releasing these emotions to heal your physical body   More from Dr. Eboni Cornish + the Amen Clinics: Website: jadeteta.com Books: jadeteta.com/jade-teta-books Instagram: @jadeteta YouTube: @drjade Email: support@jadeteta.com     Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

Whether you're a seasoned guru or a budding enthusiast, we've got the inside scoop for you. Join us as we learn how to flourish in this magical world of retreats. Hey guys, welcome to or welcome back to The Retreat Leader's podcast. I'm excited because I have another amazing guest today in. My guest is going to be talking about something that I think 99.999% of the people who are in our space think it's one of the most important aspects of marketing and growing your retreat business. And I would agree with you, although I also think email is important, but we are going to talk about social media. And so welcome, Robin Nathaniel to the show. Speaker 2 00:00:54  Thank you so much for having me, Shannon. I'm pumped to talk to your audience about social media, and I'm confident that they'll walk away with some value today. Speaker 1 00:01:03  That's fantastic. Robin, why don't you just first start off by telling us a little bit about who you are and what brought you to this space that you're in now. Speaker 2 00:01:10  Yep. So I started my career off in music. I was a performer as well as an event organiser and a producer. And then in 2010, I had my first child, my, my, my son. And when he was born, I was like, I need to get a job. So I switched gears and joined the non-profit field, and I moved up in non-profit leadership. And then the pandemic hit. When the pandemic hit, me and my family left our busy life in New York City to move down to the green pastures of the Atlanta area. And I reset and, shifted from my career in nonprofit leadership to finally take a hold of my marketing, career, which I have a degree in which I had been doing social media since the days of Myspace and Friendster and just led me down this path of social media leadership. Speaker 2 00:01:59  Now I lead a small team for local government with social media, and I also have an independent boutique agency where we support mission driven organizations and nonprofit with social media solutions. Speaker 1 00:02:09  Oh my goodness. I love so much about this, and I love that you've been in the industry for as long as you have, because and I think it even said it on your website somewhere when I was doing some research, like it's, it's not heard of for someone to be in the social media space for over 20 years. So how have you hung on this long? I have to know. Speaker 2 00:02:30  First of all, it's just like interest, right? So me getting into social media early, I got to see the beginning with sites like Friendster and Myspace, even six degrees before that. Right? And what I found was the power of being able to communicate with people in another place with a push of a button just blew me away, and I knew that there was going to be something there, so I just had a general interest for it. Speaker 2 00:02:55  I think when I started getting into it on an academic level because I was an adult learner for college and I had to like write papers around social, do research. It just opened my mind on a whole, on a whole nother level. And I believe that's what separates me from other people in the industry. And if people read my book, they'll see some of my philosophies kind of butt heads with what the quote unquote gurus are saying in the space. I have some conflicting messages and we'll talk more about it, but generally it's just the love for being able to impact people all over the world. Speaker 1 00:03:29  Okay, well, I'm glad that you are here, and I'm glad that you're in this space and that you've been in this space for this long. I have been a user since the Myspace days. I did start in marketing when Facebook first became kind of like to me, it seemed like the very first real engine of social media marketing. This is well over ten years ago. And so I've been marketing in the the social media space since then. Speaker 1 00:03:55  However, it has been hard as hell for me to keep up. I'll just be honest with you. The algorithms change. The expectations change. The rules change what works. Change is a new platforms on the horizon, you know. Do you know what I'm saying? Like, there's so many moving parts now. Compared to when I used to just spend 100 bucks on Facebook and get a really good return. And so keeping up has got to be something I don't know. That's its own beast. Speaker 2 00:04:20  It really is. And I and one thing that I mentioned early on in my book is that I work in this space, right? Like literally I wake up in the morning at 5 a.m. and I'm all, I'm all social media until I lay down right and I can't keep up. So don't feel bad. Just know that it moves so fast. And especially with the, the rise of AI, it's just increasing the pace of the, the growth and and and this the platform changes. So that's why in my teaching and in my philosophy, I focus on a concept that I call algorithm proof content instead of people becoming, you know, essentially slaves to what the platforms are doing or liking. Speaker 2 00:05:01  Just focusing on human connection through their content and creating strong, intentional relationships with their audience. Speaker 1 00:05:09  Okay, now you're speaking my language. So let's let's dig into it. Let's talk about some strategies. Did you want to start there with this algorithm proof concept or or talk to me. What do you want to start with. Speaker 2 00:05:19  Yeah we can start with algorithm proof content. So one thing that I found in all of my years in social is that folks are glued to what the next big thing is. For example, years ago when Snapchat first came out, people were hyped about Snapchat and then Instagram totally stole their model, which they often do, right? And then they created stories and then everyone shifted the stories. So what I felt like is that essentially we're on this seesaw. Whichever way it's going, we're going to slide to that end. And when the weight shifts, we slide with it. And what happens is you get seasick. You're like you. You know, like we're overwhelmed. We're confused. Speaker 2 00:06:02  We don't know which way to go. And we're just back and forth on this social media seesaw, if you will. And what I found is that staying in the center and identifying the fact that the one unique proposition value proposition that you will have in whatever business you do, whether it's organizing retreats or whether you sell donuts, is you is the person behind the brand, the the the person who fuels the wheels. And if we can lean into that and really find a way to communicate directly with our ideal target audience, that we create algorithm proof content, regardless of the platform, regardless of the medium. You can write it, you can videotape it, you can take a picture of it. It's still going to be authentically you. Speaker 1 00:06:48  So you are speaking my language on so many fronts. The first one really being just being you. Like, don't try to be someone else. Don't try to copy this thing that looks really good or is doing really well. Don't try to follow just all the trends in the whatever. Speaker 1 00:07:03  Like you can use some of this information, but it has to be authentically you. It has to have your voice, your spin, your whatever. So I love that. And then in conjunction with that, making sure that it is speaking to your ideal audience, you know, like I can't tell you how many times someone's like, oh, I did this post and it's really, really good. And I look at it, I'm like, it has nothing to do with your business at all. Like, you're doing it on socks and you're over here trying to sell, you know, mental health strategies or whatever. And so it has to be directed directly to your target audience. It has to be authentic to you. And I love that. That is like the whole concept behind algorithm proof, because you're right. If you're speaking to your people, like literally someone who's looking, looking, listening, watching, whatever, if they're feeling like, man, she or he is speaking directly to me, it doesn't matter what the algorithm is doing, right? Speaker 2 00:07:54  It really doesn't. Speaker 2 00:07:55  And I and I and I have a quick story to share with you. So I got on TikTok in 2020 and I had some success, and it kind of led to my independent boutique agency. I had a couple of videos go viral. Both videos had over 2 million views. But like you said, the videos weren't necessarily aligned with my mission. My, the the videos weren't necessarily speaking directly to my ideal target audience member. And essentially the, the the videos were just vanity metrics, right? They got me a lot of followers. They got me a bunch of views. Flip the other, flip that coin. And on the other side of that coin, I did a video on Facebook a few years later, I want to say it had 500 views, Shannon 500 views, and it was basically me sharing one of my signature frameworks. I got a call or I got a message I should say that led to a call that led to a long term client that that generated tons of revenue for my business. Speaker 2 00:08:56  So the point is. Vanity metrics and chasing views, likes and the surface level performance metrics is not where we are in this era as I can. Continues to evolve. Human connection is going to be valued more than anything else. There's going to be a time where the way you go to a fair or a, you know, a craft fair and you go around the tables and it's like, you, you sold that together. Yeah. It was human made, I made it. It's made by me, the creator. The content will be the same way. Shannon. Mark my words. People will stamp 100% human made and it's going to have a premium value. So that's why I'm leaning into people or or encouraging people to lean into the human aspect of content creation and social media in general. Speaker 1 00:09:44  Oh my gosh, I, I had to mute myself, but I could almost fall off my chair when you're like, it's going to be stamped human made because you are so right. You're so right. Speaker 1 00:09:55  That is where we're headed right now. And it's getting easier and easier to spot AI. And we'll just call it sometimes IBS all over the place. And people are going to be like, they're done. They're over that. Scroll on, keep going. Tune it out. They're going to be looking specifically for human made content. Human made everything. And so I love that so much. Talk to me about what other strategies retreat leaders should be considering. maybe these are strategies that you've shared in your book that they should be considering when they're trying to grow their audience and grow their business. Speaker 2 00:10:27  I think for retreat leaders, and again, I'm grateful to be on your platform, Shannon, because, this is an audience that I don't get to speak too often, but I've had some, life changing experiences at retreats. So for that reason, I'm really grateful for this opportunity. It really depends on what part of their journey they're on. So let's speak to the retreat leader who is not on social, is fearing social, has some trepidation around even starting like the journey. Speaker 2 00:10:54  What I would encourage them to do is to first start with identifying their bandwidth. That's the first step. I think oftentimes when people say, you got to get on social media, we open an account on every single platform. We, we, we fire up Canva, we create images for everyone and we just let it rip. Right? While that is social media, that's not strategy, and I don't think it's the best use of your resources. Right. So I would first identify your your your bandwidth. Is it going to be you. Is it going to be somebody on your team? How much of our time for our marketing contributions can we commit to this? And as we go into 2026, I will also as a ninja trick just right now, as you're if you're working on preparing budgets for next year, you should really prioritize align for social media. So whether you bring in a team to help you, a consultant and strategists like myself, or if you empower somebody on your team. So that's the first step, is just figure out who's going to do it and how much time can they spend to it? Spend, spend on it. Speaker 2 00:11:54  Next you want to clearly identify your ideal audience member. So we talked about it earlier. customer avatars. There's so many terms around ideal viewer, just the person that you want to speak to in your content. And I know what people are going to think. Well, Robin, if I speak to one person, how will I? I'm going to miss out on so many other people. It's a common concern that people, people have. One thing that I've seen is that when people speak to one ideal audience member in their content, especially smaller organizations who have like one, set of people that they're speaking to, the other people will get attracted. So even if you're speaking to Jane, 29, who lives in Ohio, Jimmy, 35, is her husband, and he'll hear you and listen to you, too. So that's the next thing. Identify your ideal, target audience member. So stop me at any point. Shannon, I'm going to kind of push through this. Speaker 1 00:12:45  So you're speaking my language. Speaker 2 00:12:48  So third step after you know your bandwidth, you know your ideal audience member. The third step. Now, what you want to really lean into is where your people are. Let's go and let's do some market research. Where are our folks hanging out? If you have an existing audience. Do a survey, send out an email, blast. Send out mailers. Whatever you do to communicate with your audience. Get on the phone. Even if it's 10 to 15 people, to do a small little experiment to find out where people are. Now here's where people sometimes get confused. Let's say all of your people are on Facebook, but now you have a intern who only knows how to use TikTok. So now you need to decide, do you want to teach this person how to operate on Facebook? Or do you want to start off on TikTok? Because having a person on your team who is equipped to actually do it is an important part of it. I lean towards going where the audiences, and if you want to do a balance of starting with two platforms, if you have someone who's skilled on another platform besides your audience's preference, then that's something you can consider as well. Speaker 2 00:13:55  So now you know where you're going to be. You know who's going to do it and you know who you're speaking to. The next step is really figuring out the medium that the the person or that, that team member is comfortable with. Is it writing? Maybe if it's writing, you should focus on LinkedIn content. Maybe you should focus on Twitter. or X threads, maybe blue sky. If it's video, maybe you have a founder that's extremely comfortable on camera, like Shannon here. Maybe you shoot a long form podcast episode and then cut up the clips and create video content. Maybe you have a skillful photographer on your team, or a graphic designer that you can maybe use that content on a platform like Instagram or even X, Twitter or LinkedIn. So identify where your strengths are and then decide on the medium. And another ninja trick. Do not sign up or do not get active on every single platform, just pick one. Just start with one. Because what happens is people get burnt out there. Speaker 2 00:14:58  They're trying to use social media management tools. If you want to reserve your handles on all of the platforms, that's okay. Put a profile picture, put a bio and put your flag in the ground. But pour your energy into the platform where your team member who's or leading this charge is comfortable and you have skills in that medium. And then the last step. Let it rip. Double down and triple down when things work well. If you have a photo post that goes off. Lean into that. If you have a video post that does well. Lean into that, but continue to experiment and just continue to contribute the energy, time, and space into this opportunity. Speaker 1 00:15:40  Hey, retreat leaders, pause that retreat planning for just a second because I've got something you do not want to miss. I'm headed to London this October to host a live event that's all about teaching you how to host a retreat that's not just transformational, but actually profitable. Imagine sipping tea or champagne with other like minded leaders while mapping out your next sold out retreat. Speaker 1 00:16:02  It's happening at the gorgeous Waldorf Hilton in London. I'm spilling all the secrets from pricing to planning, marketing to mindset, and you'll walk away with a strategy you can actually use. No fluff, no BS, just results. So head to Retreat mastermind and come join me across the pond. Okay, I love unpacking all of this. This is such good stuff. A couple of things that I heard, especially when you talk about like your bandwidth, like how much you know, time and energy are you able to dedicate to this? Because there's so like you said, there's so many people out there like you have to post ten times a day, you have to post 20 stories. You know, there's just all of this stuff and you could should yourself to death in this, this realm, right. In the social media realm, you could shoot yourself to death, but it really comes down to what's the bandwidth that you are going to deliver high quality, targeted, unique, authentic information. And if that's once a week and it's good shit, okay, go after it. Speaker 1 00:17:04  You know, like just really understanding what your bandwidth is. On the flip side, I do love the fact of having some sort of consistency, and only because the social media platforms love some sort of consistency. They do like consistency. The algorithms may change, but they really no matter what. I think all of the algorithms are always going to like some sort of consistency. So consider that when you're when you're thinking about your bandwidth. And I do think, Robyn, people just need to hire it out if they don't have it, if you don't have the bandwidth, you've got to hire it out. If you if you think you can not have social media and grow your business in today's world, man, I don't want to tell you you can't. But holy shitballs, you're making it so much harder for yourself unless you already have some sort of giant following from way back when. Social media has got to be part of your your your your marketing. It just does. So whether it's you or hiring it out or whatever. Speaker 1 00:17:58  I also love what you said about whoever's doing it. Where are where is their strength, right? Is it written or is it a video? Is it pictures? Is it graphics then? I love that so much. You don't have to do all the things right. It could just be where's the strength? The only key thing that I would say that I really focus on is if you're going to pick a platform, pick the one where your audience is. You know what I mean? Like, most of my audience is in Facebook. They just are like for my retreats, not necessarily for the Retreat Leaders podcast. Believe it or not, a lot of them are on Instagram, TikTok and Facebook. But if I had to pick out of all of them, I would probably be more Instagram. But my retreat guests who attend my retreats, they're on Facebook, right? And so where are your people? And man, all you have to do is a quick chat GPT or Google search and say, here's my target audience and describe that one person to the T. Speaker 1 00:18:54  You know, what's their age, what's their gender, what's their religion, if any? What's I mean, I mean, describe them down to a T and then ask, where do they hang out the most in social media? Where does this demographic hang out the most? And that's what you go after. And I mean, like you said, double down, triple down, quadruple down, like nail it on that one platform. What's your thoughts? Speaker 2 00:19:16  I love all of that. And I and I agree with you totally. I do want to just, piggyback off of, the idea of, you know, picking the platform and using. I, I get a bad rap because some of my, my philosophies appear to be anti AI, and I'm not. I use AI every day, and in my book I'm constantly going through it like I'm not an AI hater. Please. Like, like, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to hate on AI because I'm not. So I think that if you don't have any access to audience right now, that that is a great suggestion for people to just put it in the chat. Speaker 2 00:19:56  GPT and, try to get some results there. Speaker 1 00:19:59  Yeah, I'm, I'm super pro I, but I'm pro I with your voice. And all I mean by that is I feed the information into AI and then ask for ideas or spin offs or adjustments or give me something that I haven't looked at or whatever. So like, like I mentioned like give AI all the information and then ask AI based on this, where are my people hanging out at? If you don't already have an audience and you don't already know where they are? Yes, I totally agree with you. But I also use AI every day. It is getting you know, I know we're going off subject, but AI is one of those things where it's like either you're going to use it or you're going to be behind. At some point. It just is going to happen. And I don't think AI is going to replace people, but it's going to replace people who are not using AI, if you know what I'm saying. Like, it's there's a difference, like AI is going to be your tool and it will replace people who don't use AI, is what I mean. Speaker 1 00:20:51  So? So anyway, so yeah, I'm a big believer in all of that. Talk to me more about your book. Tell me what people can hear about or find in your book. Like why does someone need your book? Because it sounds like they do. Speaker 2 00:21:01  Yes. So I gave a Ted talk back in 2024, and when I got off of the stage, I knew that I wanted to write a book. I just didn't know what the book would be. And then some things happened. I had some, personal issues come up, and it kind of went on the back burner, Shannon and I, and I was like, I guess I'll just do it when I do it. I went on a podcast, talk to a gentleman that really just spoke to my soul, like he was asking me questions about my mom, my brother, just all of these deep questions. And I'm ready to, like, talk social media, right. And like, literally was bringing a tear to my eye in this interview. Speaker 2 00:21:37  And when I left the interview, I said, I have to finish the book, I have to I took all of my ideas, doubled down, talk to my wife, got her blessing, wrote in the morning, wrote in the evening, narrated and recorded in the car. Sent it to an editor and it used the framework from my talk, which I think is poetic because the talk is really about in person interactions, where this is the version for digital interactions, and really it's built on my sync framework. And what sync is, is basically a framework that we can use to build intentional human connections online. So S is for simple. Oftentimes online people want to be the smartest person in the chat room, right? Like, oh, the dexterity of the physicality of like dude. Like just just tell me it's rough around the edges. Right? and simple is really that, that that concept of boiling something down to make it super easy for people to receive and consume. Y is for yield to your intentions. Speaker 2 00:22:44  It's all about being intentional. Before you start writing, before you start taking pictures, before you start filming a video. Thinking about what do I want? How do I want people to feel, and what kind of action do I want people to take? And if you really want to be an overachiever, how can I do it in a positive light, right? Like, what kind of positive impact can I have on folks? n is for natural. Oftentimes people step into online spaces with corporate speak needing to sound as professional, as clean, as as clean as possible. It's okay to say y'all. If you say y'all, it's okay to say wanna w a n n a. If that's what you say when you speak a little, cheat sheet that I give people or trick that I give people is when you write a piece of content, especially when you're thinking about written, form content, read it back to yourself and ask yourself, would I say that if I was talking to my best friend? And when writing, try to write like you're writing to your best friend. Speaker 2 00:23:45  If you're if you look at your ideal audience member, target audience member as your best friend. That's a hack to like, write like you're writing to someone you love and you care about. And when you read it back, if it doesn't pass that test, you might need to go back to step one and make it a little more simple. And the last step is C for change it up online. We talked about the seesaw where we're just going with the flow. What did they what did Adam Mosseri from Instagram say. Oh we got to do stories. Let's do stories. No, no no reels okay. Let's go back to reels. And we're on this daggone hamster wheel of following the the trends of what the gurus are saying. What I would recommend is to change it up, listen to new voices, try new things. If everyone is zigging, try zagging and see what happens. If you always do written content, maybe change it up next month and try a couple of videos and that will give you the opportunity to give more flavors at your ice cream shop, and maybe folks will gravitate to one of those different styles of content. Speaker 2 00:24:48  And that's a quick and dirty breakdown of the sync method from my book Social Media Sync. Speaker 1 00:24:53  Hey, it's Shannon here. I'm just popping in really quickly to ask a big favor. Would you pause the show and go review it for us, please? Reviews really help us to be able to get more guests and more experts on the show to help you transform your retreats. So if you wouldn't mind pausing and leaving us a review, that would mean everything. And if you're not already subscribed, do that too. Heck yes. Oh my goodness, all of that stuff. I especially love the whole when you're writing and whether it's writing, talking or anything, do it like you're talking to your best friend. Oh my gosh, that should be the heart of all of the content that you deliver is like your best friend or someone that you love and care about. So. Yes, yes, yes. Well, we're going to wrap it up with you telling us about something that is for the audience. You have a little gift for the audience. Speaker 1 00:25:39  You want to tell them about that? Speaker 2 00:25:41  Yes, absolutely. So I was thinking about what I could do to provide you with next steps on where to go. If you're on your social media journey, especially if you're just starting out, and even if you've been in the social media, you know, world for a while and you've been putting out content for years, having a fresh perspective always helps. So what I created is what I'm calling my Social Media Sync bundle. What you get is two free eBooks. These are robust ebooks that give you a play by play of how to fine tune on social media and how to get started. But also, I'm going to give you a free preview of my book. It would mean the world to me if you took some time to check it out. I include a chapter. I also include the intro and a foreword. So you get like the intro of my book essentially, and you would also get onto my email list. So when when you sign up, all you have to do is reply to the email and I'll respond. Speaker 2 00:26:37  I'll respond to all of my emails. So you if you have a question about anything we talked about today, if you want to go deeper, just reach out to me directly. I'm accessible, approachable, and honestly, I would enjoy connecting with you. And to get all of that, the Social Media Sync bundle, all you have to do is visit land the talk.com land the talk com that's also the name of my podcast. Speaker 1 00:27:00  Heck yeah. That will all be in the show notes as well. So if you are driving and you're not able to grab it on the air, then just pause the show and grab it from the show notes. So Robin, thank you so much for being an incredible guest on the show and for your very valuable information on social media strategies. I really appreciate it. Speaker 2 00:27:18  And I appreciate you. And I just want to say, Shannon, you are an amazing host, and thank you for sharing a little bit of your life with me today. Speaker 1 00:27:24  Oh thank you. Thanks for listening to The Retreat Leader's podcast. Speaker 1 00:27:29  Learn more at the Retreat. See you next time.

Send us a textKimberly LaRose's journey from a nine-year diagnostic odyssey to creating an award-winning vodka demonstrates the remarkable resilience found in the IBD community. After struggling with unexplained symptoms that doctors repeatedly misdiagnosed, Kimberly finally received her Crohn's disease diagnosis and discovered that gluten and corn were major inflammation triggers for her body.Rather than seeing her dietary restrictions as limitations, Kimberly embraced a philosophy of "replacing, not removing." This positive mindset would prove transformative when she attended an event where she couldn't eat or drink anything due to her restrictions. What began as a half-joking call to a friend about creating their own vodka evolved into Wisher Vodka – a sugar beet-based spirit that's gluten-free, grain-free, and vegan.The path from concept to award-winning product wasn't simple. Kimberly and her co-founder Emily researched 300 distillers, visited 60 personally, and developed a unique production process that includes lab testing every batch to ensure purity. Their commitment to quality and transparency has earned them multiple prestigious awards, including Grand Vodka of the Year with a remarkable 98-point taste rating from the Bartender Spirits Award.Beyond the business success, Kimberly's story highlights how health challenges can unexpectedly open new doors. "I wouldn't have created Wisher had I not been diagnosed with Crohn's," she reflects. Her work supporting the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation further demonstrates her commitment to the IBD community that sparked her entrepreneurial journey.Whether you're navigating dietary restrictions, seeking inspiration for managing chronic illness, or simply appreciate the story behind your spirits, Kimberly's journey reminds us that sometimes our greatest struggles lead to our most meaningful creations. Links: Sip with Confidence! - Wisher Vodka's websiteCocktail recipesLet's get social!!Follow us on Instagram!Follow us on Facebook!Follow us on Twitter!

Hormones and Mental Health: Why Perimenopause Can Rewire Your Brain Are you struggling with fatigue, brain fog, or mood swings and wondering if it's “just stress” or something more? Hormone changes in perimenopause and menopause don't just affect your body—they rewire your brain and can disrupt neurotransmitters that regulate mood, sleep, and energy. This episode dives deep into how hormone balance impacts mental health and what you can do to support your mind and body during this transition.

Here's what you'll learn in this episode: The startling link between dropping progesterone and rising anxiety—and how this hormone acts as nature's calming agent. Why estrogen is critical for serotonin and dopamine production, and what happens when levels plummet in your 40s and 50s. How testosterone loss affects motivation, confidence, and libido (yes, it matters for women too!). Practical steps to stabilize mood, improve sleep, and regain mental clarity without overhauling your entire routine. This episode is packed with actionable strategies—from tracking your symptoms to creating a hormone-friendly sleep and nutrition plan.

Dr. Linda Bluestein dives deep into the tangled web of gastrointestinal disorders with neurogastroenterologist Dr. Zachary Spiritos. They tackle the silent struggles of patients with EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome), POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), and MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome), especially those whose GI tests always come back “normal.” From misunderstood motility problems to surprising treatment twists, this episode is full of revelations that might change the way you think about your gut. And yes, there's even a how-to on better pooping. Takeaways: Why your GI test results might be “normal”… but your symptoms are anything but. How slow motility and visceral hypersensitivity often masquerade as IBS. The overlooked connection between hypermobility, dysautonomia, and GI dysfunction. Why some patients are misdiagnosed for years—and how that's finally changing. A surprising but effective tip to improve your daily bathroom routine.
