Struggling with bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, or “food baby” bloat after meals has become so common it's considered “normal.”  In this episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz, FNTP, MHC, sits down with Dr. Arland Hill, DC, MPH, DACBN—Director of Clinical Education at Biotics Research and a 25-year leader in functional medicine—to demystify SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth). You'll learn what SIBO is, why it keeps relapsing, and how a root-cause, functional approach can calm symptoms and restore, not just gut health, but overall vitality, for the long haul. They cover the classic SIBO symptoms (bloating, abdominal pain, gas, constipation/diarrhea), how gut inflammation fuels brain inflammation (the gut–brain axis), and why quick fixes—like “nuking” the microbiome or leaning on a low-FODMAP diet—often miss the mark. Dr. Hill explains the body's three antimicrobial digestive secretions—stomach acid, pancreatic enzymes, and bile—plus motility and stress regulation, and how a phased strategy (reduce overgrowth → rebuild defenses → replete what SIBO depleted) can break the relapse cycle. They also discuss targeted probiotics (including Saccharomyces boulardii), when botanicals or antibiotics like rifaximin enter the picture, and why “just eating real, nutrient-dense food” and how you eat (meal spacing, slow, mindful chewing) can be as powerful as what you eat. Whether you've tried “everything” or you're just starting to connect the dots, this conversation gives you a practical roadmap to move beyond masking symptoms and start building foundations. What you'll learn SIBO 101: definition, symptoms, and why it's so common The gut–brain connection: how stress and inflammation impact motility & mood Why long-term low-FODMAP isn't a SIBO solution The role of acid, enzymes, and bile in controlling overgrowth Relapse prevention: phased protocols, motility support, and targeted probiotics Real-food nutrition, meal timing, and simple lifestyle upgrades that help Additional Resources: Ep 11: Digestive Hell (Learn DIGESTION from the NTA's founder, Gray Graham) Bristol Stool Chart   NOTE: While we generally avoid direct affiliation/sales/commissions of products mentioned on the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, we've decided to make these SIBO kits available for purchase.

October 20, 2025: In this episode of Future Ready Today, Jacob Morgan breaks down five major stories that show how leadership, learning, and loyalty are being redefined in real time. Korn Ferry reports that 79% of employees say their job isn't what they were promised, revealing a growing gap between expectations and reality. Business Insider finds that white-collar professionals now value employer loyalty more than higher pay, signaling a deeper cultural shift in what workers want from companies. Another Business Insider story by Amanda Hoover explores the rise of “vibe working,” where AI tools reshape how we create, collaborate, and code — but also remind us that real innovation still requires human skill and judgment. Meanwhile, SHRM's State of Recruiting 2025 shows that 69% of organizations are struggling to fill full-time roles, turning hiring into the first real test of the employee experience. And according to Forbes, education systems are falling behind as AI redefines work, leaving both schools and companies scrambling to keep people future ready. Together, these stories reveal a new reality: transparency replaces stability, loyalty outweighs pay, and learning becomes the ultimate competitive edge.

This week, I want to share an experience from a couples' weekend immersion I led.Watching a marriage transform over just a few days reminded me why I do this work.One person can absolutely create change in a relationship.When you show up differently, your partner responds differently, and a new dynamic emerges. This couple came in scared, angry, and on the brink of divorce.By the end of day one, they began seeing each other's differences as strengths.By day three, they had a connected, loving marriage and a plan to maintain it.It's amazing what happens when both people commit, use the tools consistently, and make an intentional investment in their relationship.Struggling to decide whether to stay or go in your marriage and you're serious about finding that answer? Book a Truth & Clarity Session with a member of my team. We'll discuss where you are in your marriage and explore if there's a fit for you and I to work together so you can make - and execute - the RIGHT decision for YOU and your marriage.

When I first told people I'd cut out sugar, everyone was so impressed — “Wow, that's amazing! I could never do that!”But when I mentioned I'd also stopped eating bread, the mood totally changed.“Wait… no bread? Why?! That's too extreme!”It's funny how cutting sugar gets applause, but cutting flour is judged.And honestly, I get it. Bread and other flour-based foods have deep cultural roots — they've meant comfort, connection, even survival for generations. But the flour we eat today isn't what our grandparents ate. Industrial milling made it finer, faster to digest, and a perfect ingredient for processed foods that keep us hooked.In this episode, I talk about how flour became a staple in both tradition and modern food marketing — and why so many “whole grain” and “healthy” products aren't nearly as wholesome as they sound.And I'll share what to eat instead of flour — not another powder or flour substitute, but real, satisfying foods that keep your blood sugar and energy steady... and your cravings quiet.To get personalized guidance from me, plus support and accountability in a small group... apply here to join the 90-day program, Freedom from Cravings Formula TODAY.Do the Cravings Quiz and take the first step to get rid of your cravings!

As people age, forgetfulness often creeps in — but not all memory loss is inevitable. In fact, some of the most common causes are preventable, and with the right strategies, memory can be protected and even improved. I'll explain what really drives age-related forgetfulness and what you can do about it. Source: William Cone, PhD, author of Stop Memory Loss (https://amzn.to/3PNKIOX). Negative emotions hit us all — anger, fear, frustration, stress — but how you handle those feelings determines your “emotional power.” Leading neuropsychologist Julia DiGangi reveals the science behind emotional triggers and how your brain shapes your reactions. She's the author of Energy Rising: The Neuroscience of Leading with Emotional Power (https://amzn.to/463rDhu), and her insights will help you understand why you react the way you do and how to channel emotions into strength rather than struggle. Elevators are so ordinary we barely think about them — until we're standing in one, feeling awkward or even a little uneasy. Yet without elevators, skyscrapers and modern cities as we know them wouldn't exist. Dr. Lee Gray, professor of architectural history at UNC Charlotte and author of From Ascending Rooms to Express Elevators: A History of the Passenger Elevator (https://amzn.to/44ZLtsM)., takes us inside the fascinating history of elevators, from their risky beginnings to the sophisticated systems we trust today.

Why are so many young people struggling with mental health? Abigail Shrier, Rob Henderson, and Brian Anderson explore the roots of the crisis and examine the roles played by mental health professionals, shifting parenting styles, the influence of schools, and social media. Their conversation underscores the value of authoritative parenting, the importance of setting high expectations, and the need for parents to take a more active role in their children's development within a culture increasingly shaped by therapeutic narratives.

In this episode, Drew and Josh explore the powerful role of the internal critic—affectionately named "Craig"—in maintaining anxiety disorders and interfering with recovery. They discuss how this nagging inner voice criticizes, questions, and doubts us, often telling us we're doing things wrong or that we'll never be who we hope to be.Let's examine where Craig the Critic comes from, including family dynamics, conditional affection, societal pressures, and social media comparisons. The episode explains how this critical voice drives us toward impossible standards and fuels the "should" statements that keep us stuck: "You should be feeling this," "You should be better by now," or "You should be like everyone else."The guys discuss how Craig the Critic shows up across different anxiety presentations—from OCD to agoraphobia to panic disorder—and how this voice can block the learning that happens during exposure work. They explore how the internal critic constantly demands we fix, control, and change our anxiety rather than learning to respond differently to it.A key theme in this episode is compassion as the antidote to self-criticism, how moving toward what matters to us—guided by our values rather than Craig's demands—helps us break free from the cycle of criticism and avoidance. We're also tackling the common misconception that we need harsh self-criticism to keep us in check, when in reality, it often keeps us trapped in disordered patterns.The episode features inspiring "Did It Anyway" stories from listeners who faced their fears despite Craig's objections, including someone starting a new job, another taking their children on challenging outings, and a future firefighter who completed a demanding physical fitness test while experiencing panic symptoms.Topics Covered:Understanding the internal critic and where it originatesHow self-criticism maintains anxiety disordersThe difference between helpful self-evaluation and destructive criticismWhy comparing yourself to your "pre-anxious" self backfiresThe role of compassion in anxiety recoveryHow Craig the Critic interferes with exposure work and learningPractical ways to recognize and respond differently to the critical voiceThis episode may be particularly helpful for those who struggle with perfectionism, harsh self-judgment, or feeling like they're failing at recovery.---Want a way to ask questions about this episode or interact with other Disordered listeners?  The Disordered app is nearing release! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit our home page and get on our mailing list for more information..---Struggling with worry and rumination that you feel you can't stop or control? Check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Worry and Rumination Explained⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, a two hour pre-recorded workshop produced by Josh and Drew.

HEADLINE: Russian War Economy Stalls as Oil Prices Decline and Sanctions Bite GUEST NAME: Michael Bernstam SUMMARY: Michael Bernstam reports that the Russian economy is struggling as global oil prices decline and sanctions increase transportation costs, leading to a $13 to $14 per barrel discount on Russian oil. The "military Keynesianism" economy is exhausted, resulting in staff cuts across industrial sectors. Forecasts indicate contraction in late 2025 and 2026, with the IMF lowering its growth projection for 2025 to 0.6%. Russia is avoiding sanctions by routing payments through neighbors like Kyrgyzstan, who have become major financial hubs. 1945

Victor Woods opens up about his journey from a promising young man with dreams of becoming a lawyer to a U.S. soldier battling a $900-a-day drug habit that nearly took his life. Raised by a single mother and facing periods of homelessness, Victor found discipline and direction in the military — but the trauma of deployment and the chaos of life after service sent him down a dangerous path. In this interview, Victor shares what he witnessed during his time in Afghanistan, how addiction took control, and the near-fatal car crash that became his turning point.

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____Nicole Bela was brilliant at her job. She could read a room in seconds, remember every donor's story, and raise millions for causes she believed in. But behind the polished professionalism, she was quietly unraveling. The same systems designed to do good were slowly breaking her down, and she couldn't understand why.After being diagnosed with ADHD at 37, just after the birth of her second son, Nicole finally had the missing piece. Suddenly, the patterns made sense: the anxiety that exercise once kept in check, the brain fog after Zoom meetings, the guilt of forgetting critical details while remembering someone's cat's name. What began as relief quickly turned into a mission. Nicole wrote a groundbreaking article for the Association of Fundraising Professionals, “Unmasking Burnout,” connecting the dots between masking, mental health, and why so many fundraisers, especially women, are burning out.In this conversation, Nicole and Tracy unpack why the nonprofit world may be full of undiagnosed neurodivergent professionals, how the pandemic exposed the cracks in traditional workplace culture, and what leaders can do to build real belonging. Nicole also shares how unmasking her ADHD changed the way she leads, works, and parents proving that inclusion starts when we stop pretending and start asking what people truly need to thrive.Resources:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unmaskedartstudio LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicole-bela-msw-cfre-a484571b Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message If this podcast helps you understand your ADHD brain, Shift helps you train it.

In this deeply vulnerable episode, Dr. Glen and Phyllis continue their real-time conflict from last week, diving into the messy reality of what it looks like when one partner is thriving while the other is just beginning to recover from burnout. Recorded just moments after a morning conflict, this episode captures the raw, unscripted reality of navigating relationship pain when one person has no reserves left and the other is wondering when things will feel "normal" again. Glen and Phyllis, along with host Tera Wages, explore the invisible weight of mental and emotional labor in relationships, how partners experience the same events differently and arrive at different emotional places, the fear and uncertainty of not knowing how long a partner's pain will last, identity crisis and what it means to feel completely empty of reserves, the importance of getting curious instead of trying to fix, why processing pain 10,000 times is actually healthy (not a problem), how to support a partner who is in a season of deep transition, and the power of doing the Core Emotion Wheel regularly, especially during hard seasons. You'll learn why one partner can feel like they "sprinted" across the finish line while the other "crawled," how to recognize when mental/emotional labor is just as taxing as physical labor, the difference between desire and capacity in your body, why it's crucial to turn toward your partner and share your emotions in the moment, how to invite your partner back into connection when they miss with you, why identity pain is the greatest pain and requires the most patience, and the importance of slowing down and asking "Ooh, tell me more" instead of problem-solving. Whether you're the partner crawling across the finish line or the one wondering when your spouse will "bounce back," this episode offers permission to feel all of it, process it together, and remember that you're not broken—you're just human.Chapters:00:00:00 - Disclaimer00:02:30 - "I Don't Know If This Is a 5 Year or 25 Year Plan"00:05:50 - Phyllis's Perspective: "I'm Still Discovering Me"00:10:40 - The Identity Crisis: Selling the Company and Losing a Lane00:13:00 - Learning to Feel Emotions for the First Time: "Oh, That's What Burnout Feels Like"00:21:05 - "I Have No Reserves": A New Experience00:22:10 - Desire vs. Capacity: Learning to Listen to Your Body00:24:10 - Different Experiences at the Finish Line: "I Crawled, You Sprinted"00:40:00 - Identity Pain Is the Greatest Pain00:42:00 - "I Just Want You to Turn to Me"00:47:20 - The Lifeline: Using the Core Emotion Wheel in Hard SeasonsLinks and Resources:Connection Codes WebsiteTake the Connection Codes AssessmentConnection Codes CoachingWatch previous episodes on navigating conflictConnect with us on Instagram: @connectioncodes

What if every budget you've ever "failed" wasn't your fault at all? Here's the truth they don't want you to know: Your budget isn't broken. Your willpower isn't weak. Your body is literally hijacking your financial decisions to protect you from perceived danger. In this episode, Brandon exposes the invisible force that's been sabotaging even the smartest, most capable people... and it has nothing to do with discipline. You'll discover: Why your brain goes offline the moment you open your bank account (and what's really happening in your nervous system) The shocking research: financial stress drops your IQ by 13 points, you're literally making decisions with a handicapped brain How your "Financial Nervous System" mistakes budget reviews for life-threatening danger Why all the spreadsheets, apps, and perfect plans in the world can't override biology Key Quote: "You can have perfect financial knowledge, flawless systems, and iron discipline, but if your nervous system interprets financial management as dangerous, it will override everything. Every. Single. Time." This isn't a character flaw. This is biology working against your bank account. And once you understand it, everything changes.

When you start to struggle, you also start to look for answers.  It's Easy To Stay Disciplined When You Are Struggling. Are you able to stay disciplined even when you are not struggling?

Wiggy says if Belichick were the Chiefs coach they wouldn't be struggling

Why do some people stay consistent with their health and fitness habits while others fall off after a few weeks? In this episode, Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher share five tips to help you stay consistent with your workout routine. Learn  the benefits of scheduling your workouts, why setting challenges makes goals easier to achieve, and how the right social support can fuel long-term consistency. Tune in to discover simple, practical strategies that keep you on track even when motivation runs dry. Amy starts by revealing the real reason most people struggle with motivation.  She explains that most fail because they don't have a system to lean on when they don't feel like doing anything. Once you build a solid structure, you don't have to keep negotiating with yourself every day, you just show up and do it. Tip #1: Schedule it. Your workout should be on your calendar. The moment you block off time, you instantly raise the odds of following through. Amy explains the power of scheduling. When you train at the same time, on the same day, week after week, you don't have to think about it anymore. You've taken away the decision fatigue, and all that's left is repetition — and repetition is what builds results. Even when you don't feel like it, Amy says following through matters most. That single act of showing up when you'd rather skip tells your brain, “I keep my word.” And once you see yourself as someone who follows through, your confidence grows, and so does your consistency. Tip #2: Create a challenge. Goals are good, but challenges are better because they're specific and measurable. Whether it's 30 days without junk food or 40 straight workouts, a challenge forces you to track your wins, and those little wins pile up into lasting change. Dr. Fisher explains why goals without action fall flat.  Writing down “lose 10 pounds” feels nice, but it doesn't move the needle on its own. It's the daily steps you take toward that goal that create momentum. According to Amy, when you see progress in black and white — whether it's workouts logged, weight lifted, or meals recorded — it lights a fire to keep going. The act of tracking doesn't just measure growth, it actually fuels it. Dr. Fisher highlights how habits become automatic over time. In the beginning, discipline feels heavy, but the longer you practice good routines, the lighter they get.  Amy shares the benefits of structured challenges. She talks about Exercise Coach's 30-day metabolic comeback challenge, built on whole foods and consistent workouts. That combination of simplicity and accountability gives people results they can see and feel quickly. Dr. Fisher highlights the accountability that comes with working with a personal trainer. When someone is tracking your progress and guiding your choices, excuses lose their power. Tip #3: Gather friends. Pursuing health doesn't have to be a lonely road. The more you include friends or family in the process, the more motivated and committed you'll both become. Amy explains why family habits matter. When you shift things like sleep, nutrition, or daily activity as a household, you build a culture of wellness instead of trying to go it alone.  Amy shares how social support saved her progress. She recalls doing a 30-day challenge with her husband and admits she probably would've quit without him. Having even one supportive partner can make the difference between stopping and succeeding. Learn the importance of boundaries. Not everyone in your life will cheer on your healthy habits, and some will even try to pull you back.  Protect your progress by drawing a line and surrounding yourself with people who genuinely want to see you win. Amy explains why a coach can be the difference-maker. Having a personal trainer by your side means you're never facing the journey alone.  A coach isn't just there for accountability, they bring encouragement, structure, and belief when you need it most. Tip #4: Listen to a podcast. Feeding your mind is just as important as training your body. The more you hear about health and strength, the more you begin to see yourself as the kind of person who lives that lifestyle. How to stack habits for maximum momentum. Listen to a podcast while walking, cycling, or lifting, and suddenly you're training your body and your mindset at the same time. That layering effect makes progress faster and more fun. Tip #5: Write down a positive message. Surrounding yourself with affirmations or quotes isn't just feel-good fluff — it rewires your focus. When positivity is visible in your environment, it becomes easier to keep your mindset sharp. Amy explains how to fight your brain's negativity bias. By default, our minds scan for danger and problems. Writing down uplifting reminders trains your brain to see possibilities instead of pitfalls. Dr. Fisher shares one of his favorite quotes: “Anticipation is worse than participation.” Most of the time, the fear of starting feels heavier than the act of doing. Once you step in, the resistance fades and you wonder why you waited so long.     Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!
