If you are struggling with brain fog or chronic fatigue, you know that making decisions is significantly harder when you have brain fog.

Do you have difficulty recalling words or names of people you know?

Is your thinking slower than it used to be, and it feels like you're walking through a pool of molasses?

Or do you have memory or decision problems, making it hard to complete your grocery list or make a decision between two options?

If so, you have many common brain fog symptoms.

Brain fog is one of the top most common symptoms my clients deal with, and it's a total bear to deal with.

Brain fog can happen to anyone under the right circumstances, but the problem is when your brain fog is chronic and ongoing, no matter how much you try to sleep, what brain fog supplements you take, or what your circumstances are.

What is brain fog, what causes it, and - most importantly - how can you reverse it?

On today's episode, I'm breaking down 5 common causes of brain fog so you can break out of it and start thinking clearly again.

One of the most common patterns I hear from clients coming into my office is women in their 30's+ telling me: "All my symptoms started or got significantly worse after having child # __."

When they come in, they're dealing with symptoms of brain fog, weight gain, anger & irritability, low libido, weak muscles, fatigue, insomnia OR wanting to sleep all the time, acid reflux, new or increasing food sensitivities, bloating, and more.

At the very minimum, these women are told by their doctors that this is a normal part of motherhood and to just suck it up. At most, a doctor will blame all of this on one or two markers in their bloodwork such as low iron or low Vit D, give them a supplement, and tell them that's the only thing they can fix.

Not only is this untrue that all these symptoms must be permanent after becoming a mother, but it's bad science. Yes, it's normal for women to be depleted by pregnancy and delivery for 3-12 months after giving birth. But if your brain fog, weight gain, anger & irritability, weak muscles, fatigue, bloating, or more has not resolved in the 12 months after giving birth, it's time to look into something call chronic Postnatal Depletion.

What is Postnatal Depletion, how do you know if you have it, and what can you do to get rid of it?

I go over all this today and more.

If you are living with chronic symptoms that diet change, supplements, exercise, and doctors can't fix - then you won't want to miss today's episode. You don't have to live with these symptoms or the guilt that comes with not being able to get your body or brain to look or feel the way you want it to.

It's time to let go of mom guilt about your body, emotions, and mental capacity. Let's dive in.

When my client Emily came to me, she had a serious case of SIBO that she could NOT get rid of.

Prior to seeing me, she had tried what felt like EVERYTHING to get rid of her SIBO: expensive SIBO diets, antibiotics, probiotics, and dozens of doctor visits - and nothing helped.

However, in just 3 months on my natural protocol for SIBO, she had put her SIBO into remission and was on her way to reintroducing tons of foods into her diet.

Hear Emily's story straight from her mouth, and learn how this SIBO natural treatment has finally worked for her and can work for you, too!

Do you think you may have estrogen dominance?

Do you have interstitial cystitis and you don't want to be stuck on medications your whole life or in constant pain every time you pee?

Do you think or know you have mold toxicity? (Or are wondering - "what the heck? Why should I care about mold toxicity?")

Or - do you think or know you have SIBO and are wondering what to do about it?

If you said yes to ANY of these - then this episode is for you!

In today's episode, I'm answering Allison from the UK's question she submitted to our Ask Allison Program.

Her question was all about her interstitial cystitis, estrogen, mold, SIBO, and probiotics. What causes interstitial cystitis? How do you know if you have these things? What lab tests do you do? And if the labs are positive, what do you do about it?

I bare all in the super short and condensed episode, so you do NOT want to miss it.

When Eric came to me, he had been struggling with constipation, headaches, fatigue, insomnia, abdominal pain, and anxiety - ALL of his adult life!

This caused him to spend less time with his family due to discomfort and gave him less energy to use to do his work as a teacher.

Eric is now 50, and after 30 years of having these symptoms, Eric had gone to MULTIPLE doctors to fix his symptoms, but doctors have been NO help. Eric also had tried dramatic diet changes to heal, and while he did lose weight, his constipation and headaches never went away. Worse - he wasn't even able to sustain his weight loss because that diet left him feeling HUNGRY - all the time.

But in just 6 days on his new, custom protocol built to his body's specific needs inside the Better Belly Method, his constipation, headaches, fatigue, insomnia, abdominal pain, and even anxiety either stopped or dramatically decreased.

That improvement has also lasted his ENTIRE first month of being on his new protocol.

If you have:

• Tried restricted diets but felt too hungry to be able to sustain the diet
• Visited MULTIPLE doctors to try and heal your problems but haven't found any solutions
• Been told by doctors that your "labs look normal"
• Made changes in your diet or exercise or supplements, but aren't getting results
• Felt guilt or shame about not being able to just "eat right" to be healthy
• Want headache relief after years of chronic headaches
• Want an EASIER way to get rid of your bloating, constipation, fatigue, insomnia, and more...

Then THIS episode is for you.

Hear straight from Eric exactly what his life was like BEFORE starting the Better Belly Method, and hear what it's been like in just the first week and month on his custom protocol. And - learn how you can get results like this, too!

If you have been sick and have been trying to navigate health insurance to get the MOST out of your health insurance while paying the LEAST, you know that health insurance is a total BEAR.

Health insurance can be a TOTAL pain in every regard. It can be a pain to find providers who take your insurance, it's a pain to be told your insurance will cover one amount and later you get charged a totally different (usually much higher) amount. It's a pain that insurance doesn't cover many things that we WANT it to cover, things that will ACTUALLY help you heal.

Why is insurance this way? And how can you actually use your health insurance to make it work for you, instead of feeling like you're fighting it all the time?

This conversation is NOT about insurance reform, or even politics or voting.

This is about, with the system EXACTLY the way it is right now, what can YOU do to still get the healthcare you want or need?

To host this conversation, I had a conversation with a special guest that I am SO excited to introduce you to - my father!

Dr. Marc Downing is a pediatric surgeon in Southwest Michigan who has been working in healthcare and the hospital system for more than 25 years. He's seen a LOT of shifts in healthcare not only through his career as a physician but also throughout the last 100 years of healthcare that he's studied. Dr. Marc Downing has a deep passion for seeing everyone be able to receive healthcare and to have to turn NO ONE away due to financial problems, but he also sees first-hand a lot of the problems that our current healthcare system creates for individuals and the system itself as someone who both has health insurance and someone who has to deal with it on a daily basis with his patients. Dr. Downing also shares some of his unique wisdom he's gleaned on different ways people approach getting healthcare through his experiences doing international surgery and also with working with communities in the U.S., such as the Amish, who inherently have no access to health insurance.

How are people getting healthy in the U.S. and around the world, with or without health insurance, and how can you take your current situation (regardless of your healthcare insurance status) to still get better health outcomes for you and your family?

We're tackling all this today, and more.

Also, to note: this episode pairs really well with last week's episode with financial expert Katherine Pomerantz where we discuss Katherine's top tips to make your health more affordable. Check out her episode, 182// How to Make Health More Affordable with Katherine Pomerantz!

2023 was a GROUNDBREAKING year for us in my company, Better Belly Therapies.

Over the year, I helped over 30 people get rid of bloating, constipation, diarrhea, irregular periods, painful periods, PMS, lose 13-35 lbs in weight, get rid of food confusion and food fear, sleep normally, feel rested, and triple how much patience they had with their kids.

As I had LOTS of conversations with my clients and people considering working with us, I saw a theme arising continuously around health and how DIFFICULT it was to get or stay healthy.

Because of this, I developed the mantra that "health should be easy", and boy - has it created HUGE breakthrough in our clients!

In today's episode, I want to share with YOU this easy healthy mindset, what it means, and how it has the power to absolutely change your 2024.

If you've been struggling in your health lately, if you feel like your health has been an insurmountable wall of difficulty, if you want easy, sustainable health that doesn't require ridiculous food restrictions or ongoing supplement regimens - then this episode is for you.

Was your health WAY to difficult to manage in 2023?

Are you ending 2023 feeling overwhelmed or discouraged by your health?

If so, you may benefit from having a health plan for 2024.

At the beginning of 2023, I shared my health goals for the year in Episode 122.

A few weeks ago, I shared my update on how my health goals went for 2023 and how I did it all with MINIMAL effort and without completely exhausting myself.

Today, I'm opening up my life and sharing my health plans for 2024. I'm also sharing with you how I determined my health goals for 2024, what I'm doing to prep to hit them, and how you can do all of this, too, with functional medicine.

As I made this episode, I was reminded of the quote from Benjamin Franklin: "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail."

Health DOESN'T have to be a guessing game or something random that happens TO you. You can actually have a PLANNED impact on your health, so you can no longer be a victim to your health but feel that health is not only on your side but EASY, too.

Whether you're newly on a health journey or have been at it for a while, it's time to make your health a whole lot easier.

EPISODES MENTIONED:

• 122// 3-Step, Health Strategy Plan for Your Best Health in 2023
• 176// How I Hit All my 2023 Health Goals with MINIMAL Effort (Parasite Cleanse, Half Marathon, and Pregnancy!!)

Pam has struggled with constipation on and off her entire life. Now, in the last 8 months, everything has gotten WAY worse.

Despite drinking water, eating fruits and veggies, and taking medications and laxatives like Linzess and Senekot, she can't poop. Or if she does, it hurts and comes with a LOT of cramping, bloating, and gas.

Why aren't her constipation medications working anymore?

And what can she do to actually heal her gut and have GOOD gut health?

I'm answering these questions on today's podcast! This question was submitted via my Ask Allison program, where I answer questions YOU ask here on the podcast.

If you want ME to review your health story just like I did with Pam and give my thoughts on what you should do next or what you're missing, go to betterbellytherapies.com/askallison and you can hear your question answered by me on an upcoming episode!

In June of this year (2023), I had 15 students take my FIRST round of my online course and group coaching program, the Better Belly Blueprint.

These 15 students came in with a HUGE variety of symptoms and diagnoses: constipation, bloating, gas, irritability, brain fog, weight gain, low energy, low libido, increasing food sensitivities, fatigue, acid reflux, eczema, nausea, and insomnia.

Today, I'm reviewing EXACTLY what happened with my students.

• Did they get the results they were looking for?
• How long did it take for them to see those results?

If you want to heal your bloating, constipation, fatigue, brain fog, and MORE for GOOD, and you're looking for a solution that can help you reduce your symptoms FAST, then THIS episode is for YOU!

At the beginning of this year, I shared about my 3 goals for my health in 2023.

1. Half-Marathon Training
2. Parasite Protocol
3. Get Pregnant

These are the 3 goals I shared in Episode 122 all the way back in January, and now I'm here to follow up and talk about:

• Did I reach my goals for the year?
• What was my parasite protocol like? (Hint: NOT SMOOTH!)
• Why did I even do a parasite protocol?
• Things I did differently in this parasite protocol than what I've done before
• Did those things make a difference?
• What my half-marathon training was like
• Did I hit my half-marathon training goals?
• Pregnancy

If you like being nosy or want to see what it's like for me to plan my health out during the year, then this episode is for you.

And if you want to learn how you can plan YOUR year for your health, check out the ORIGINAL episode I aired back in January (Ep. 122) or click the link in the shownotes.

Have you ever opened your fridge and wondered how it was empty again?

Have you ever needed to go to the grocery store for just ONE item you were missing - and hated the trip the whole way there?

Have you ever started a recipe only to realize that you didn't have all the ingredients you needed?

If you said yes to any of these, I get you. This used to be me, too, until I implemented my Simple Grocery Shopping Method. It takes me only 1 hr per week and keeps me and my family fed and ready to make meals, muffins, and snacks all without running out of ingredients or needing to take another trip to the grocery store.

As we come up on Thanksgiving and the BIGGEST eating event of the year, I thought I'd spill the beans on how I grocery shop using MINIMAL effort with just 1 hr per week on AVERAGE.

The great news? This method can be SCALED to a family of 4, 5 or 6. I'm going to teach you exactly how to save time grocery shopping and what I do to minimize the time spent at the grocery store and maximize the time spent with family and NOT worrying about what I'll eat next.

Recently in my Free Facebook Group, I was asked this question:

"What is the ONE habit I could add to my day right now to start toward better gut health?"

I thought it was a great question, so I made a podcast episode on this. I gave the question a lot of thought, and after collecting my thoughts from 100+ cases of men and women whom I've helped get rid of their most stubborn constipation, bloating, acne, autoimmune flares, eczema, chronic pain, fatigue, and more - I really hope my answer is refreshing to you. This is not the average advice you hear on blog posts about probiotics, going gluten free, or fiber. I hope my answer today removes unnecessary time and money spent and quickens you on your path to healing. Because if I had ONE piece of advice I could give to everyone, one habit to add right now to help you have better gut health, it'd be this.

I hope you love this episode.

 This week, I hosted my workshop - Clear Your Constipation - on Monday and Tuesday.

It's done now, but I wanted to share with ya'll a clip of a Q&A Call I had with my VIP workshop attendees on Tuesday.

In this call, I answered ANY questions our workshop attendees wanted to ask me. They ended up asking a LOT of interesting questions, so I wanted to share it with you guys here on the podcast.

I am calling this episode a sneak peek inside the Better Belly Blueprint - because while it's actually a call with my VIP workshop attendees, this call honestly feels a lot more like one of my group coaching Q&A calls that I have in my course and group coaching program, the Better Belly Blueprint.

Questions we cover in this episode:

• Is there ever a time you DON'T recommend treating H. Pylori?
• What labs should I order for migraines, constipation, and acid reflux?
• Why are my liver enzymes high? Is there anything I can do about it?
• What is the difference between the MRT and Zoomer food sensitivity tests?
• What does it mean when a food sensitivity says I'm sensitive to a food, but I don't notice feeling bad when I eat that food?
• If I go through a detox and I get a headache as I detox, can I take medication for that headache?
• Can I stop doing some of my detox methods on vacation?

We did ALL of these questions in less than 17 minutes. Woo! You don't need a lot of time to get massive breakthrough and clarity in your health, and I hope this calls proves it to you.

If you're ready to finally find the source of not only your bloating and constipation but also headaches, migraines, acne, eczema, UTI's, sinusitis, fibromyalgia, and more, listen to this episode.

But ALSO: Join my course + group coaching program, the Better Belly Blueprint.

In this course, I teach YOU how to END BLOATING AND CONSTIPATION for GOOD through:

• functional lab testing (priced at wholesale laboratory prices),
• a customized health plan that I teach you how to build yourself,
• RAD SCIENCE (no more Dr. Google plans that don't work)
• and daily support through our Member's-Only FB Group and BiWeekly Group Coaching Call

Have you ever found yourself stuck in your car in traffic and were STARVING?

Have you ever tried to buy a snack at the gas station and found NOTHING you could eat?

Have you ever flown on a plane and found yourself bitter that ALL the snacks they served weren't gluten free?

If so - then this episode is for you!

The ability to eat something on-the-go that's good for your mind and body is SUPER important to getting through the day. Snacks can be helpful in a pinch, when the day doesn't go the way we planned, or when you're traveling for hours at a time. Having healthy food on hand that you can eat can give peace of mind, balance your blood sugar, and help you feel empowered even when you're on a gluten free, grain free, or otherwise restricted diet.

In today's episode, I'm sharing my top 10 favorite QUICK gluten free snacks I keep on hand at all times.

I'm also sharing the 3 Healthy Snack Guidelines I use for picking my snacks, so even if you have a different set of food restrictions than me, you can use these 3 guidelines to find your top 10 snacks that can get you through the day.

Just because you're on a restricted diet doesn't mean you have to starve. So if you want to thrive and feel good on your gluten free, grain free, or dairy free diet - then let's jump on in!
