About Tara: Tara Coughlan is a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (mine, in fact!). She uses MFT muscle response testing (Morphogenic Field Technique) to find the root causes of and solutions to her clients’ health issues, using functional nutrition and targeted supplementation. She also addresses trapped emotions in the body, a common cause of physiological symptoms, using the Emotion Code. Tara spent most of her adult life working 60-70 hour weeks managing her family’s busy restaurants. As chronic stress took its toll, her health declined to a point where she began to seek answers to her health issues through nutrition. She had struggled with social anxiety and depression for as long as she could remember, was always exhausted, and suffered with chronic back pain for 11 years. One week after turning 40, Tara was in a car accident where her car was totaled but miraculously no one was hurt. That was the moment she knew her life had to change. She dedicated herself to becoming well and to shifting out of her restaurant career into one that she knew held true fulfillment for her, Nutritional Therapy. About this episode: In this episode, we talk about her healing story, how she became a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, how she began healing others through energetic testing (Morphogenic Field Technique), what energetic testing looks like in action, how she identifies root cause health issues/supplementation needs/food sensitivities and allergies, the Emotion Code, detoxing the body, coffee enemas (yes, for real!), EMFs, and so many more fascinating topics!!

This week I sat down with Kara Halderman, Nutrition Therapy Practitioner, & mindset trainer.  Kara shares her journey around how she has learned to stop acting out of fear in order to pivot in her business and follow what makes her excited!  She opens up about how she was able to heal some health  her mind & body through a technique called Neuro-Linguistic Programming.  A technique focused on reprogramming the sub-conscious mind!  It is super fascinating and she has been able to get her clients even better results by combining this with her nutrition expertise.  Kara is now passionate about supporting other NTP's & heath coaches in using this technique both with themselves to thrive in their businesses and teaching them how to use it with their clients.  We get into our thoughts of some of the hottest "diets" like Keto and her experience with eating carnivore, as well as why she believes in taking radical responsibility for our thoughts & actions rather than playing the victim!  And the pro's and cons of social media.  Kara has a raw honesty that I truly love and appreciate and know you will benefit from listening to this episode.

Check out our sponsor Somnifix! An amazing mouth tape to help your sleep and solve many problems that may occur because of mouth breathing! Use coupon code “SUPSLEEP” for 10% off! Reasons you should check out Somnifix: Mouth breathing is highly inefficient. Besides leading to dry mouth, sore throat, and nasal congestion, it can cause snores, lowered blood oxygen saturation, and worsened immunity. These have serious consequences for health, fitness, and sleep. The simple solution to all of these issues is breathing through the nose. It’s easy to be cognizant of breathing during the day, but mouth breathing during sleep is widespread because we are paralyzed for certain parts of our sleep. This paralysis, called atonia, particularly affects the muscles around the mouth and neck. A great way to ensure proper breathing is by using SomniFix Mouth Strips. They are fully hypoallergenic–we’ve done extensive biocompatibility testing to ensure that users won’t experience allergic reactions or irritated skin. Our adhesive was specially-engineered for the lips. That means no pain or difficulty removing it, and no sticky residue left behind. It also releases just the force of opening the mouth (another safety feature). We included the mesh-covered breathing vent to ensure limited mouth breathing is possible if necessary. We conducted clinical trials with our device in partnership with researchers from Harvard Medical School, and we saw that our strips are effective in reducing ‘mouth’ snores and in improving breathing efficiency. All contents of our box (box, pouches, strips, branded liner) are recyclable. Remember, the nose is for breathing and the mouth is for eating Use “SUPSLEEP” for 10% off and tag us with your mouth tape on Instagram! 13:00- How do you find food freedom with the mindset of losing weight 20:00- The process of self love and acceptance 32:30 - How to be more relaxed and less uptight 41:00 - What to do after binge eating Don’t forget to join our Straight Up Paleo Pals Facebook Group to chat and ask questions!Send in questions at StraightUpPaleo.com, our email straightuppaleo@gmail.com, or our Facebook page! Also please rate, review, and subscribe to the podcast on iTunes!

Our adhesive was specially-engineered for the lips. That means no pain or difficulty removing it, and no sticky residue left behind. It also releases just the force of opening the mouth (another safety feature). We included the mesh-covered breathing vent to ensure limited mouth breathing is possible if necessary. We conducted clinical trials with our device in partnership with researchers from Harvard Medical School, and we saw that our strips are effective in reducing ‘mouth’ snores and in improving breathing efficiency. All contents of our box (box, pouches, strips, branded liner) are recyclable. Remember, the nose is for breathing and the mouth is for eating Use “SUPSLEEP” for 10% off and tag us with your mouth tape on Instagram! 8:50- Christina's Paleo Women Lifestyle Program!

Topics: 2:00 - Updates and Easter talk! 6:00 - Straight Up Paleo Dallas Meetup! This Saturday, the 31st, at 12 pm, at Brewed & Pressed. 8:00 - Best traveling hack is Somnifix! Check out our sponsor Somnifix! An amazing mouth tape to help your sleep and solve many problems that may occur because of mouth breathing! Use coupon code “SUPSLEEP” for 10% off! Reasons you should check out Somnifix: Mouth breathing is highly inefficient. Besides leading to dry mouth, sore throat, and nasal congestion, it can cause snores, lowered blood oxygen saturation, and worsened immunity. These have serious consequences for health, fitness, and sleep. The simple solution to all of these issues is breathing through the nose. It’s easy to be cognizant of breathing during the day, but mouth breathing during sleep is widespread because we are paralyzed for certain parts of our sleep. This paralysis, called atonia, particularly affects the muscles around the mouth and neck. A great way to ensure proper breathing is by using SomniFix Mouth Strips. They are fully hypoallergenic–we’ve done extensive biocompatibility testing to ensure that users won’t experience allergic reactions or irritated skin. Our adhesive was specially-engineered for the lips. That means no pain or difficulty removing it, and no sticky residue left behind. It also releases just with the force of opening the mouth (another safety feature). We included the mesh-covered breathing vent to ensure limited mouth breathing is possible if necessary. We conducted clinical trials with our device in partnership with researchers from Harvard Medical School, and we saw that our strips are effective in reducing ‘mouth’ snores and in improving breathing efficiency. All contents of our box (box, pouches, strips, branded liner) are recyclable. Remember, the nose is for breathing and the mouth is for eating Use “SUPSLEEP” for 10% off and tag us with your mouth tape on Instagram! 13:00 - Taking a social media break and its benefits 17:20 - Check out the app Moment, which shows how much time you spend on each app 23:00 - Sign up for Christina's Paleo Women Lifestyle program on April 9th through the 13th.

Use coupon code “SUPSLEEP” for 10% off! Reasons you should check out Somnifix: Mouth breathing is highly inefficient. Besides leading to dry mouth, sore throat, and nasal congestion, it can cause snores, lowered blood oxygen saturation, and worsened immunity. These have serious consequences for health, fitness, and sleep. The simple solution to all of these issues is breathing through the nose. It’s easy to be cognizant of breathing during the day, but mouth breathing during sleep is widespread because we are paralyzed for certain parts of our sleep. This paralysis, called atonia, particularly affects the muscles around the mouth and neck. A great way to ensure proper breathing is by using SomniFix Mouth Strips. They are fully hypoallergenic–we’ve done extensive biocompatibility testing to ensure that users won’t experience allergic reactions or irritated skin. Our adhesive was specially-engineered for the lips. That means no pain or difficulty removing it, and no sticky residue left behind. It also releases just with the force of opening the mouth (another safety feature). We included the mesh-covered breathing vent to ensure limited mouth breathing is possible if necessary. We conducted clinical trials with our device in partnership with researchers from Harvard Medical School, and we saw that our strips are effective in reducing ‘mouth’ snores and in improving breathing efficiency. All contents of our box (box, pouches, strips, branded liner) are recyclable. Remember, the nose is for breathing and the mouth is for eating Use “SUPSLEEP” for 10% off and tag us with your mouth tape on Instagram! 18:00 - Introducing our guest Diana Rodgers!

Topics: 7:30 - Check out our latest sponsor Somnifix! An amazing mouth tape to help your sleep and solve many problems that may occur because of mouth breathing! Use coupon code "SUPSLEEP" for 10% off! Reasons you should check out Somnifix: Mouth breathing is highly inefficient. Besides leading to dry mouth, sore throat, and nasal congestion, it can cause snores, lowered blood oxygen saturation, and worsened immunity. These have serious consequences for health, fitness, and sleep. The simple solution to all of these issues is breathing through the nose. It's easy to be cognizant of breathing during the day, but mouth breathing during sleep is widespread because we are paralyzed for certain parts of our sleep. This paralysis, called atonia, particularly affects the muscles around the mouth and neck. A great way to ensure proper breathing is by using SomniFix Mouth Strips. They are fully hypoallergenic--we've done extensive biocompatibility testing to ensure that users won't experience allergic reactions or irritated skin. Our adhesive was specially-engineered for the lips. That means no pain or difficulty removing it, and no sticky residue left behind. It also releases just with the force of opening the mouth (another safety feature). We included the mesh-covered breathing vent to ensure limited mouth breathing is possible if necessary. We conducted clinical trials with our device in partnership with researchers from Harvard Medical School, and we saw that our strips are effective in reducing 'mouth' snores and in improving breathing efficiency. All contents of our box (box, pouches, strips, branded liner) are recyclable. Remember, the nose is for breathing and the mouth is for eating Use "SUPSLEEP" for 10% off and tag us with your mouth tape on Instagram! 14:30 -Sign up for Christina’s The Paleo Women Program!
