I årets näst sista avsnitt skall vi djupdyka i Rolands trummaskinsdjungel. Framförallt deras XOX-serie. Hur låter de? Vad är det som skiljer dem åt? Hur mycket kostar de? Till vår hjälp har vi kallat in Andreas Tilliander för att reda ut allt du behöver veta. Avsnittet bjuder också på ny svensk synth och en och annan gitarr i skivpåsen. Låt oss be för en framtida transistormarimba och att Ö&B kommer att ha lådvis med 303:or för ett par hundringar. Det är Blå måndag!

Nuevo episodio de la Bola Provisional de Ten Golf. David Durán y Alejandro Rodríguez ponen el foco en la hazaña que se está gestando en el US Amateur, y más concretamente en el recorrido de Hazeltine, Chaska, Minnesota. ¿Por qué es tan importante lo que está pasando allí con Luis Masaveu y Josele Ballester? Nos lo explican. Además, acuñan un nuevo término en el glosario del golf de la Bola Provisional: 'Xoxé'. ¿Es un nombre gallego, un postre? Nada de eso. No se lo pierdan. Por supuesto, analizan el inicio de los playoffs de la FedEx Cup, se dan una vuelta por el eterno debate y nos cuentan un detalle que quizá pasó por alto del nuevo sistema de clasificación para la Ryder Cup.

We know God wants to use us but how? Praying this episode leads you. Enjoy. Xox

As we dive into AwakenYou in Your Marriage episode 153: Nurturing Marital Intimacy through Vulnerability, I'm thrilled to share a piece of my personal journey with you. This year is all about vulnerability (my word of the year), and I'm excited to be on this open, honest, and transformative ride with each of you.On a creative note, my book project is back in full swing. I've recommitted to transcribing, refining, and shaping its artistic foundation. It's a passionate endeavor, and though the final outcome is uncertain, the process itself is a beautiful journey of self-discovery.Now, let's talk about vulnerability in marriage. In this episode, we'll explore what vulnerability is and why it's crucial for our relationships. Drawing insights from Brene Brown, we'll discuss emotional exposure, uncertainty, and risk.We'll delve into the barriers that keep us from being vulnerable and how to lay the foundation in your marriage for openness. I'll share tips on noticing and warmly receiving your spouse's vulnerability, fostering a safe space for intimacy to thrive.Remember, vulnerable shares start small as you strengthen your relationship with yourself. Recognize your spouse's responses and understand that your ability to expose yourself emotionally helps facilitate their vulnerability.Building a safe place for each other is key. By practicing active listening, stepping into your spouse's shoes, maintaining confidentiality, and checking in with your own feelings, you create an environment where vulnerability can flourish.As I've moved through these steps personally, I've witnessed profound changes in my relationship. Building self-confidence enhances my connection with myself and strengthens my openness to share, regardless of others' reactions.If you're longing for deeper connection and intimacy in your relationship, know it's possible to re-connect. Join me for a Courageous Love Conversation, where we can explore your struggles, fears, and doubts and discuss the process of creating something extraordinary.Here's to vulnerability, intimacy, and the transformative power of love.XOX,Christine CBS News Interview: 6 Tips For A Healthy & Loving RelationshipDownload my free Love Affirmations Mini-Course to help you to start thinking and feeling in a way that feels more like love.

I invited my good friend Jon Noyes on to talk about a tough topic: Suicide. I was stunned to discover how serious this is when I saw a recent statistic showing the growing suicide rates. Why is this happening? How can we biblically look at this? What can be done? There is hope. 

Ladies, es geht wieder los - die nächste Runde Deep Talk steht an. Janine und ihre Freundin und Maskenbildnerin Isabelle Richter sprechen in dieser Folge vor allem über Selbstliebe und Selbstakzeptanz (was auch Janine manchmal sehr schwer fällt), aber auch darüber, warum man sich im Rampenlicht eigentlich immer noch aufbretzeln will und muss; und: ob Janine im Grunde eigentlich langweilig ist und alle ein völlig falsches Bild von ihr haben…? Weiterhin: Wie geht das eigentlich, wenn der Mann zuhause den Laden schmeißt? Warum ziehen so viele die Lebensmodelle anderer durch den Dreck? Dazu: Wie verarbeitet Janine fiese Kommentare auf Instagram? Ist das noch auszuhalten? 24/7 Stärke und Selbstbewusstsein - das ist schon eine harte Nummer… Da kann man schon mal depressiv werden. Das alles und noch mehr erwartet euch in dieser Folge des BELL(E)CASTS. Wir freuen uns, wenn ihr mit uns unsere und eure Themen teilt. Wir danken euch für eure Treue, Liebe und Zuwendung und freuen uns schon auf ein tolles 2024 mit euch! Habt noch schöne Festtage und rutscht gut ins neue Jahr. Eure Janine und alle anderen aus KUNZES KOSMOS. Nach kurzen Weihnachtsferien melden wir uns im Januar zurück. XOX.

I love the opportunity to do solo podcasts as I see the beauty of my divine path and how everything was indeed designed to grow and evolve me into where I am today.  I went into stories of growing up witnessing benevolent power and the misuse of power. I shared vulnerably of where I misused my own power and how I've also awakened the best in others with it.  I shared of my feminine power, masculine power, and p*ssy power :)  And I tied it in to our soul purpose and sexy confidence to be unapologetically who we are while simultaneously pouring love in as and through us no matter what.  In this delicious conversation I also discussed... -How my equine body-mind spirit facilitator revealed a blind spot and how she supported me in turning it into my sweet spot. -How my latest photo shoot for the new website revealed another blind spot and how he helped me embrace what I'll call my sacred commander.  -How grateful I am for my dance movement teacher,  shaman and PSI facilitators because I'm absolutely confident I wouldn't be as free successful whole confident and surrendered as I am today without all of their support… and we're just getting started baby!  You know if this path intrigues you, inspires you.

Sometimes my life is so delicious that it feels naughty to be having so much fun and calling it work!  But then again I'm creating my life, I'm in charge, I'm the sacred commander of my business and I choose to have epic erotic divine bliss with my clients who I consider to be family! This podcast with my beloved client Shane was so nourishing to me to witness the extraordinary evolution of an already evolved being into even more of her radiance, confidence and receptivity to intimate love at the age of 75 years young.    In this episode we also discussed...   How the work she's done with me has led to deeper conversations and epic revelations with her cherished son.   How she's lost 37 pounds and is wearing a dress from 25 years ago celebrating her 75th birthday with her dearest friends feeling alive, vibrant and grateful.   How her choice to divorce led to a deeper connection with her son's father. How she's more vulnerable and receptive to a richer depth of intimate connection because of the depth of her own self-love and self-worth from doing this work.   How our community is such a joyful safe space to be real, vulnerable, transparent, welcomed in our uniqueness and celebrated in our co- creative glory.   How she just knew she wanted to work together after just 5 minutes of watching me on a podcast and now she's an Allana Pratt Method Coach.   How when something's meant to be and we choose it… that magic beyond our wildest imagination unfolds.   If like Shane, watching this podcast inspires you to take the next step to connect with me personally, let's connect 1 on 1 and an Intimacy Breakthrough Experience Call.    As a thank you for watching and subscribing to this podcast, please use the code READYNOW to receive a scholarship for our discovery call and use the link www.AllanaPratt.com/BreakthroughWithAllana to register now.   Let's choose that now is the time :) Thank you for the honor of having your back and walking with you, humongous love, Allana  XOX  --------------------------------- p.s.

In 6 months of working 3 days a week, I have made over $10K in sales just from my group coaching program. Now, to some that's what they do in a month or less time, but for me, this has been a game-changer for me and my family, and this is just the beginning.

Welcome to back to the show for this Bonus Episode all about the real real of the vulnerability of being seen in your new way when you make a shift or change. You might be putting yourself in a new place or even just refreshing what you have, and you can get locked up by straddling the line of old and new.  As a brand and business educator, I work with the tender-shoot-dream space with my clients and creatives who are needing support in navigating where they are to where they want to go.  The truth is it's totally normal to feel awkward in your newness. We see so many outwardly positive, happy examples of risk-taking,  but risk-taking doesn't always happen from a mountaintop moment. I personally was in a very low place when I had the awareness and clarity that I needed to make changes. Let's jump in!   Links:  UNLOCKED Free Live Event on March 15th - Join us!

It had been a while since I was on Lilli's Podcast and I forgot how much we get on like a house on fire! We're so aligned in what it takes to truly heal emotional trauma and stop abandoning ourselves and our soul. She was so vulnerable about what it took to start speaking up and standing up rather than choosing someone else over her. We spoke of not only the skill of intuition and discernment but what lies underneath, truly awakening the capacity to know what you know. My word for the year is play and she reminded me that play is the opposite of trauma! Mike drop :) You will enjoy this conversation that ends steeped in God and Spirit and what it takes to be a magnetic woman... in Trader Joe's! Xox --------------------------------- p.s.

I don't know if you've had the experience when you begin to evolve, that many people fall away and there's a period of time where you feel alone.  Then the next level of extraordinary beings begin to show up! Kass is one of those extraordinary beings! You'll want to listen to this interview 10 times because there's so much wisdom, inspiration and gold in her every word, story and energy :) We spoke of appreciating it all, not disconnecting from anything, anyone or ourselves. Connecting with the body, lowering barriers, going beyond the veil, seeing the world without judgment, engaging with the universe, connecting with the invisible realm and with our beautiful Mother Gaia. Kass is eloquent beyond measure and you will be moved deeply.

Don't Miss These ThoughtsPaola on Instagram HEREWork virtually with Paolo HEREDon't Miss These ThoughtsWho is Paola Xhuli?What is a cell and how does it relate to our body as a whole?What are mitochondria and what are their roles in cells?How does gut dysbiosis and mitochondrial dysfunction build off of one another?What are the main factors leading to mitochondrial damage?What are some changes we can make in order to prevent mitochondrial damage?What are some signs of cellular dysfunction?What tests can be done to test for cellular dysfunction?How does food play into cellular health?What are some of the best foods to support our mitochondria?What are some lifestyle habits that can boost cellular health?What does Paola incorporate in her daily life for her own mitochondrial health?How can EMFs affect our cells?Cells are known as the smallest living units in our body.They are the foundation for our entire body as they clump together to form each of our organ systems.Healthy cells build healthy tissues, which build healthy organs, which build healthy organs systems, which makes an all around healthy you! Cells → Tissues → Organs → Organ systems → Body!One aspect of cells that Paola draws special attention to is the mitochondria. Organelle responsible for cellular energyProvides 90% of our body's energyMore mitochondria= more energyHealthy mitochondria= more energyGut dysbiosis directly connected to mitochondrial dysfunctionMitochondrial dysfunction correlated with chronic conditions such as IBS or IBDCellular DysfunctionCellular dysfunction can be the root cause of virtually any symptom. “If you are having symptoms, there are cells that are dysfunctional”Paola Xhuli If cells are damaged, then there will be damage to the organ as well- which can show up in any place in the body.The body's cells are the first place that health issues start.There are some factors to be aware of that can easily cause this cellular damage.Free radicalsmolecules found in the body that are missing electrons and take it from other moleculesoften damage proteinradicals can be produced by mitochondria but also when exposed to environmental toxinsInfectionsstealth infections in particularpathogens such as parasites, yeast, fungi, bacteria, virusesDysregulated immune systemimmune system can either overreact or under-reactresults in autoimmune disorders or insufficient immune responseEnvironmental pollutionsmold, mycotoxins, heavy metals, organic pollutantsharmful toxins can interfere with cellular healthAs you can see the risk for cellular damage is high, as many of us are exposed to these issues on a regular basis.However Paola emphasizes several steps you can take to minimize damage:Reduce exposureremove mold sourceswitching to more organic producefiltering your water → HUGE exposureReducing inflammation through connection with naturegrounding reduces inflammationIncluding a more nutritious diet limits free radicalsMinimize stressTRAUMA CAN BE STORED IN THE BODY!Cellular detoxificationusing binders with the help of a qualified practitionerInflammationOne of the most common causes of cellular dysfunction Paola mentions is chronic inflammation.Many people struggling with digestive concerns face the battle of almost constant inflammation.This occurs due to an overactive immune system, that sends out an immune response to cells even when there is no immediate cause to.This can result in damage of healthy body cells and eventually tissue.Here are some common inflammatory diseases:diabetesheart diseaseallergiesautoimmune disordersAll of these can result in an increase of inflammation and long lasting damage.To combat some of this inflammation you can follow an anti-inflammatory diet with anti-inflammatory foods, which minimizes food that is known to increase immune responses.This encourages you to eat foods such as olive oil and good fats, tomatoes, and berries. It minimizes processed foods and fried foods that is proven to cause a flare-up of inflammation.Another great choice is just switching to a mediterranean diet. This diet is proven to be anti-inflammatory by minimizing salt intake and increasing fatty acids, polyphenols, vitamins, and minerals.

Don't Miss These ThoughtsPaola on Instagram HEREWork virtually with Paolo HEREDon't Miss These ThoughtsWho is Paola Xhuli?What is a cell and how does it relate to our body as a whole?What are mitochondria and what are their roles in cells?How does gut dysbiosis and mitochondrial dysfunction build off of one another?What are the main factors leading to mitochondrial damage?What are some changes we can make in order to prevent mitochondrial damage?What are some signs of cellular dysfunction?What tests can be done to test for cellular dysfunction?How does food play into cellular health?What are some of the best foods to support our mitochondria?What are some lifestyle habits that can boost cellular health?What does Paola incorporate in her daily life for her own mitochondrial health?How can EMFs affect our cells?Cells are known as the smallest living units in our body.They are the foundation for our entire body as they clump together to form each of our organ systems.Healthy cells build healthy tissues, which build healthy organs, which build healthy organs systems, which makes an all around healthy you! Cells → Tissues → Organs → Organ systems → Body!One aspect of cells that Paola draws special attention to is the mitochondria. Organelle responsible for cellular energyProvides 90% of our body's energyMore mitochondria= more energyHealthy mitochondria= more energyGut dysbiosis directly connected to mitochondrial dysfunctionMitochondrial dysfunction correlated with chronic conditions such as IBS or IBDCellular DysfunctionCellular dysfunction can be the root cause of virtually any symptom. “If you are having symptoms, there are cells that are dysfunctional”Paola XhuliIf cells are damaged, then there will be damage to the organ as well- which can show up in any place in the body.The body's cells are the first place that health issues start.There are some factors to be aware of that can easily cause this cellular damage.Free radicalsmolecules found in the body that are missing electrons and take it from other moleculesoften damage proteinradicals can be produced by mitochondria but also when exposed to environmental toxinsInfectionsstealth infections in particularpathogens such as parasites, yeast, fungi, bacteria, virusesDysregulated immune systemimmune system can either overreact or under-reactresults in autoimmune disorders or insufficient immune responseEnvironmental pollutionsmold, mycotoxins, heavy metals, organic pollutantsharmful toxins can interfere with cellular healthAs you can see the risk for cellular damage is high, as many of us are exposed to these issues on a regular basis.However Paola emphasizes several steps you can take to minimize damage:Reduce exposureremove mold sourceswitching to more organic producefiltering your water → HUGE exposureReducing inflammation through connection with naturegrounding reduces inflammationIncluding a more nutritious diet limits free radicalsMinimize stressTRAUMA CAN BE STORED IN THE BODY!Cellular detoxificationusing binders with the help of a qualified practitionerInflammationOne of the most common causes of cellular dysfunction Paola mentions is chronic inflammation.Many people struggling with digestive concerns face the battle of almost constant inflammation.This occurs due to an overactive immune system, that sends out an immune response to cells even when there is no immediate cause to.This can result in damage of healthy body cells and eventually tissue.Here are some common inflammatory diseases:diabetesheart diseaseallergiesautoimmune disordersAll of these can result in an increase of inflammation and long lasting damage.To combat some of this inflammation you can follow an anti-inflammatory diet with anti-inflammatory foods, which minimizes food that is known to increase immune responses.This encourages you to eat foods such as olive oil and good fats, tomatoes, and berries. It minimizes processed foods and fried foods that is proven to cause a flare-up of inflammation.Another great choice is just switching to a mediterranean diet. This diet is proven to be anti-inflammatory by minimizing salt intake and increasing fatty acids, polyphenols, vitamins, and minerals. The emphasis on good fats such as olive oil is extremely helpful for minimizing inflammation.Sources: HERE and HEREEating for Cellular HealthPaola mentions several food choices that can help support healthy cells or a “cellular healing diet.” Notice how this closely aligns with an anti-inflammatory diet.

Yes, this all starts with getting enough sleep at the end of the day, and taking small steps towards getting more. If you are highly anxious, sad, depressed, stressed, etc. ask yourself, “When was the last time I got a sound 8+ hours of sleep?”Develop a morning routine. Get fresh air, journal, sit in silence, meditate, whatever. The point is to devote enough time for setting your day's intentions on the right track. And, in fact, did you know that this is also one of my constipation hacks? Watch it HERE for exactly how I do it.Adequate mineral support. This one Kerrie provided in detail during our conversation. Minerals: calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, chloride, magnesium, iron, zinc, iodine, sulfur, cobalt, copper, fluoride, manganese, and selenium.Circadian rhythm support. Kerrie also provided this one, which goes along with other simple acts on this list, but she says” 20-30 grams of protein in the morning, natural, bright morning light, and proper sleep hygiene.”Get regular exercise. This is, in my opinion, one of the very best stress relief activities out there. But do remember that if you are also desperate for healing your gut, you need to make it easy exercise vs. strenuous. You don't need intense workouts in order to reap the benefits of exercise for overall health.Tap into emotional needs. Kerrie mentions that one root cause of anxiety is unprocessed emotional needs and neglecting these basic needs.Deep breaths. Breathing is a basic human need. And yet, how often do you find yourself not breathing? HERE is a very simple breathing exercise that you can implement today.Learn a new skill. Find something new to enjoy for overall better health.

YOU are your own best friend and there is no one in the world who can take better care of you than you. So create some personal goals for yourself based on any specific needs. These can include different things like: a) Read three personal development books in the next 6 months. b) Walk 1 mile, 3 days per week. c) Write 100 words in a journal every single day for 30 days.Get off of social media. Seriously. Get. off. of. social media. If you can't live without it, then at least create some guidelines for yourself around your online habits. i.e. read a blog post that will provide me value, “scroll” for 20 minutes or less each day, connect with awesome online community groups who provide productive ways for healing my gut or healthy habits for overall mental health care.Therapy sessions.

This episode is dedicated to the healing Paleo diet, and the idea that with a proper diet in place, you can heal.The Paleo diet focuses on lean meats and fish, nuts and seeds, fruits and vegetables. On the diet, dairy, sugar, legumes and grains are avoided.This diet was the basis for how my guest today healed, and she's ready to share how she went from massive symptoms to feeling fantastic and creating a company from it all.Autumn Fladmo Smith is today's guest!Question: Do you ever “meet” (it's like ” ” because I only met Autumn via the podcast) someone and think, “Where have they been all my life?”This happened while I was recording this episode with Autumn Smith, the co-founder of Paleovalley.We had an instant connection, and it's going to be very apparent as you listen to the show today.Who is Autumn Smith?Before I share more on today's episode, here is a little more on Autumn: Autumn Fladmo Smith is the co-founder of Paleovalley and Wild Pastures, holds a Masters in Holistic Nutrition, a Certified Eating Psychology Coach, and a Certified FDN Practitioner.Her passion for health began with her own struggles with IBS and anxiety: despite a career as a professional dancer and celebrity fitness trainer, Autumn's own health was in shambles.Desperate for a cure, she and her husband Chas stumbled upon the paleo diet in 2011 and within a month of beginning it, her health was completely transformed.Autumn then made it her mission to share the information she had learned with as many people as possible: she is the co-founder of Paleovalley, an organic whole-food supplement and paleo snack food company that prioritizes nutrient density and food quality.In 2018, she took things a step further and launched her second business with her husband: Wild Pastures, a regenerative pasture-based meat delivery service.Wild Pastures makes supporting sustainable agriculture and local, small farms easy for consumers.

Rated-G Email ClubLMNTHere is more information on the LMNT product:LMNT is a tasty electrolyte drink mix with everything you need and nothing you don't. That means lots of salt — with no sugar. LMNT is formulated to help anyone with their electrolyte needs and is perfectly suited to folks following a keto, low-carb, or paleo diet. With none of the junk. No sugar, coloring, artificial ingredients, gluten, or fillers.Current flavors include:Watermelon SaltCitrus SaltOrange SaltRaspberry SaltRaw UnflavoredMango ChiliLemon HabaneroChocolate SaltMint Chocolate (BRAND NEW!)GET YOUR FREE DRINK LMNT SAMPLE PACKStrong ElectrolytesHere are 4 main and common strong electrolytes:HCl (hydrochloric acid)H2SO4 (sulfuric acid)NaOH (sodium hydroxide)KOH (potassium hydroxide)And according to one source, here is the digestive benefit: Electrolytes keep the digestive system chugging along. Your intestines are lined with smooth muscle tissue that's controlled by the autonomic nervous system, the part you can't consciously control. Their rhythmic contractions are important for nutrient absorption and waste elimination. Potassium allows the muscles in the intestines to contract. However, low potassium levels can inhibit healthy digestion. That's why it's so important to load up on potassium with food and electrolyte supplements! But it's more than just that from a digestive standpoint. Keep reading to learn more about why electrolytes are critical for the Gutsy community.Sources: HERE, and HEREHow to Get ElectrolytesSome of the main causes of electrolyte imbalance include dehydration, sweating, diarrhea, certain medications, and vomiting.Because these are all very common in the Gutsy community, you can understand the chicken/egg scenario Robb discusses in the episode.So how can you get more electrolytes?For me and in/because of my research, supplementing is quickest and best for electrolytes. This is why, the electrolytes powder packets from LMNT are powerful.Electrolytes Powder PacketsI have the best electrolytes powder packets to share.In fact, I included these on my Holiday 2021 Wish List.However, today my favorite flavor releases and I can't even stand how excited I am about it.The flavor? Mint Chocolate. I'm a sucker for Mint Chocolate always, and this one is fantastic!It contains:1,000 mg sodium200 mg potassium60 mg magnesiumI got a sneak preview of the flavor and have been drinking it for the past couple weeks. So let me share a couple things.How to drink a packet of LMNTThe first time I tried LMNT I made a huge mistake. I poured an entire packet (stick) into about 8-10 ounces of water. Literally gagged and was like, “I cannot talk about this product because it tastes like colonoscopy prep.” Ladies – you know I'm always real and honest with you. That's what I thought.Well then I actually read the usage instructions and had the conversation with Robb. Turns out that if you drink an entire stick with just 8 – 10 ounces, it's going to be salty AF.So don't do as I did.Instead, for best results and the most incredible taste, pour the stick into 30 – 32 ounces and stir. I promise it tastes so good. Like, so good I now need to make sure I'm only drinking 1 – 2 sticks per day (or as needed with workouts!)I personally love the Mint Chocolate flavor over water and ice (was thinking of blending it next?!?!).Anyways, that's all you do to reap the benefits.I'M READY TO GET MY FREE LMNT SAMPLE PACKElectrolytes Supplement KetoOne final thing I have to mention: the Keto community loves this product.And if you're part of the Keto community, surely you have felt the “keto flu.”The body excretes electrolytes at an increased rate due while in a low-carb, ketogenic, or fasted state. Similar to the low-carb flu, electrolytes can make the difference between feeling great and feeling like garbage on a fast.I'll tell you what's real – I started drinking this and felt better before, during, and after my workouts. I also consumed a whole stick a night after having one too many cocktails and it did some magic!Finally, this product does use Stevia and I've always been skeptical of how my body (aka acne) reacts with Stevia. I'm keeping my eye on it with the handy, dandy, super lovely healing journal I created. You can, too! Wrap UpTime to wrap this up.

In other words, cut the ingredient(s) vs the ingredients.Typically that's going to get you much further than arbitrarily cuttingMore from A Gutsy Girl1. Welcome to A Gutsy Girl Podcast2.

Rated-G Email ClubNerve EndingsAfter my conversation with Dr. Uma, there were a lot of different things I thought about.One thing I couldn't get out of my mind was nerve endings and receptors.I already knew that 90% of serotonin is made in the gut, but when she said, “the receptors are there as well,” it got me thinking.In my head, I was seeing a bunch of circuits.And that's kind of right.According to Loyola Medicine, The digestive system has its own nervous system, called the enteric nervous system. It has over 100 million nerve endings and in many ways, it can control digestion independently without your conscious awareness. Fascinating, right?Now, I'm not really sharing anything too new to you, right?I wrote about this all with quite the detail some time back.EntericRemember when I wrote Endocannabinoid System and Your Gut?If you have never nerd-ed out with me over on that post, now is your chance.It's a good one.

I cannot even tell you how important this topic is. In fact, I want to do about 37 more episodes dedicated to stress.The reason? I truly believe, with all my heart, that healing for good, forever, comes down to stress.If you don't believe me now, you might after listening to Dr. Marcus break stress down into three areas. And once you hear them, get real honest with yourself.Where are you at today?Stressful {Episode 18 with Dr. Marcus Cirelli}Click HERE to save this episode for later.And by the way, because this week's topic is one so near and dear to my heart, there is a ton more information at the bottom of this post.Resources MentionedTotal Body Health Functional Medicine (Dr. Cirelli's website)Dr. Marcus Cirelli on InstagramIs Stress Causing My Digestive DistressStomach acidAcid RefluxThe Importance of Shifting from Stress to HappinessThe Elimination DietChronic Illness Root Cause Analysis is KingDon't Miss These ThoughtsDr. Cirelli's story; why he chose to go the route he didStress definition, detailed3 main forms of stress; emotional, dietary, and “hidden”What actually happens when we're stressed; the physiologyBranches of the nervous systemWhat does cortisol do to the digestive tract?TestingWhat causes low (vs. high) cortisol levels?Stomach acidWhy H.

He has extensive postdoctoral training and education in Functional Medicine and Clinical Nutrition through Functional Medicine University.Dr. Cirelli has completed a functional diagnostic medicine training program through Southern California University of Health Sciences and is a Certified Gluten Expert.He currently serves as a board of director member for a children nutrition company.Having health issues of his own, Dr. Cirelli was able to help heal himself through the use of Functional Medicine.

By using a functional medicine approach, Dr. Cirelli is able to get to the root cause of the underlying sources and contributing factors of each individual's complaint. Dr. Cirelli sees patients both locally in Cleveland, Ohio and via webcam consultations for people around the world.Low (vs. high) Cortisol LevelsDuring the episode, I asked a question to Dr. Marcus around low vs. high cortisol levels.It's far more common to talk about high cortisol than low cortisol.But on my journey, I was constantly stressed. However, when I took the “adrenal fatigue” test, I always had super low (aka flat-lined) cortisol levels.It never made sense to me.But Dr. Marcus explained it perfectly, and I want to share more information.Normal Cortisol Level ChartWhen it comes to cortisol levels, what is “normal?”Integrative Therapeutics has a lot of great information on the topic. Their “normal” cortisol levels chart is succinct and accurate.(image via Integrative Therapeutics HERE.)To be clear, my levels never looked that way. They basically started at the bottom, and instead of raising then falling, just kept stagnant at the bottom.And that, my friends, is what we call, “HPA Axis Dysfunction.” Believe me. You do not want to get to that point.Recall that Dr. Marcus said the reason I got there was because I spent years in a chronic stress state.I do not want that for you.Here is something you can do about it today.Return to the podcast episode where Dr. Marcus and I discuss the three buckets of stress. Now, create your own list of things which fall under each category.I've made it easy for you with this graphic that you can save then download.Better yet, print the graphic HERE, then add it to the binder where you keep your gut healing e-journal.

She also mentions trying just the cabbage juice, in the event that you don't want to consume the whole cabbage.I want to echo this.When I first started healing, instead of eating a ton of fermented foods like sauerkraut (ie. fermented cabbage), I'd simply take a few teaspoons of the juice.At the time, I didn't make my own sauerkraut. Rather, I bought it in a jar, then pushed the cabbage down far, while the juice rose.That practice never made me feel any bloat.Today I sometimes still do just the juice, just for a little extra boost. Also, because I'm the person who loves to eat things deconstructed, always. I used to eat a Twix, layer by layer to make the enjoyment last as long as possible.Anyways, I digress.Give the juice a try and report back to me if it works well for you, too.p.s. 100g red cabbage contains around 300mg, or 0.3g of glutamine.
