Is eating healthy enough? 🤔🍆🍑🍓🍒🥑
I feel so lucky to be a part of sharing wisdom on what makes a healthy gut. My tips go beyond food choices as I dig deeper into root causes and provide solutions for transformational change! 🙌

Hi all. Did you know I have a masters in speech language pathology from Columbia University? I’ve been practicing for about 20 years. I don’t typically advertise my speech therapy skills because there seems to be so many people that need it; however I am now bridging health and wellness with vagus nerve, education, and speech pathology. Introducing OMT (orofacial myology therapy). I’m really blown away by how helpful it is for certain speech impediments, breathing, swallowing, facial growth, vagus nerve functioning, releasing tension in the face for all you TMJ disorders people, better sleep and more! I love the holistic nature and overall health improvements! Seriously visit my page for an intro video that could we exactly what you need for you or your child and missing! 🙏🙌

Tired of triggers and difficult relationships? 😩

My difficulty communicating to others lead my sister to encourage me to learn NVC. You gotta learn this, it will help your clients too. She was right. Guess what, if you are being triggered by a spouse or a family member for example and don’t have the tools to communicate compassionately this trapped anger leads to liver toxicity, spleen insufficiency, insomnia, reflux, you name it. NVC is teaching me how to release, empathize, and son much more. Have you heard of NVC? 🤔

Worried about osteoporosis? Do you want to be able to absorb calcium? This is what you need to happen:

☀ Adequate Vitamin D (40-50 on blood work)
☀ Adequate Vitamin K2
☀ Adequate Stomach Acid (If your chloride levels are below 100 on blood work and your thiamine and zinc levels are low then you wouldn't be making adequate stomach acid. ALSO.....If you are taking stomach acid suppressors such as TUMS, or Proton Pump Inhibitors for more than 2 weeks this would decrease your stomach acid levels and therefore ability to absorb calcium. Yikes!

My Core Beliefs infused in my Signature Gut Revive Program:

🌿Diseases that present themselves are a result of how we digest life.

🌿Chronic issues all carry an emotional component that needs to be addressed, and we need the tools to learn how to tap into these emotions.

🌿It isn’t the stress or the disease that is the problem, but rather our reaction to it that is most important.

🌿Plants and nature have much wisdom and hold a lot of the answers for feeling whole.

🌿The body knows how to come back into balance when provided with the right supports.

🌿The mind is a powerful force for healing as long as we know how to use it wisely.

🌿My role is to support and empower you in being your own healer, by providing you with the tools and guidance for you to help yourself.

🌿Daily routine practices are grounding and healing for the mind, body, and spirit.
These practices will be more important than any single diet or supplement you take.

In 2007 I was diagnosed with IBS and so began my journey of restrictive dieting, supplements galore, and going from doctors to nutritionists to healers of all kinds to help me, but really my issues started well before 2007. As a child, I had constant rashes and immune issues, and I developed insomnia in high school. I grew dangerously close to not sleeping through college, to the point of hallucinating. I developed hormonal issues and more digestive issues along the way.

I have much better sleep now and continue to improve my health.

What I have learned from my journey has led me to a series of introspective questions and realizations. What was at the root of it?
🧘 Although eliminating foods would result in fewer symptoms my digestive issues weren’t going away; could there be something spiritual or karmic that wasn’t allowing me to let go of my issues?
🧘What was really going on here? I have come to realize that being a perfectionist, highly -driven, work and goal- oriented, self-critical, constantly going, anxious, negative thinker was leading to guilt and shame which were my real root causes.
🧘The journey to change my mind-set, build healthy routines, learn ways to release emotions carrying negative charges, and improve my relationship with myself and with food continues to lead me towards true healing and inner peace. It isn't just about the diet. It's so much more! That's what my coaching is about.

That's me getting my vitamin D! Did you know that popping ant-acids like TUMS inhibits your body's ability to absorb vitamin D? That's why I don't advocate for taking Proton Pump Inhibitors long-term. They are meant to be used for max two weeks!! How are docs giving these out to patients for years is beyond me?!

We need vitamin D for:
☀️A healthy immune system
☀️Regulating blood pressure
☀️Preventing autoimmune disorders
☀️Promoting protein synthesis in muscles
☀️Promoting mitochondrial function

There is a debate about what the best level of vitamin D is. When I look at blood work I like to see 50 to 70 with 40 is a bottom baseline which varies among practitioners. Across the board, if yours is at 20, there is a problem.

This is pricely why I help clients get off of PPIs and using natural alternatives to rid of reflux. Get my 30 minute free class on my top healthy alternatives that got my client off of 13 years of PPI use in just 3 months! DM " TOP TIPS" to get the limited time class for free!

Are you self-sabotaging? The biggest thing I notice with coaching and with myself is we standing in your own way of our own healing. How to change that? I have struggled with that one myself. I’ve noticed changing the language helps to change the behavior. Your thoughts shape your beliefs which shape your reality. ( learned that one from Joe Dispensa, a wise doctor and motivational speaker) Feel your POWER 🙏🙌💪

What health coaching with me looks like ….

It’s Mel squared. What Mel said to Mel about coaching with Mel per google review:

“ Working with Melanie was so helpful! She’s insightful, supportive, and listens very well. Her knowledge of herbs and flowers blew me away, and I would definitely work with her again” 🙏🙌

As my I process and continue to work on my healing, a friend from the qigong retreat I just completed in Turkey sent me this; I thought to share.

How to come back into the world when it feels like I was transported in time? Another land, another people, and surrounded by healing, beautiful, seeking souls. One step at a time. One breath at a time. Visualize, actualize, energize. Start small. What is one thing I can do today and on a daily basis to reach my goals?
PAUSE
NOTICE
STAY CURIOUS
GIVE COMPASSION
YOU ARE STRONGER THAN YOU REALIZE

I’m sharing my private insights with you in hopes that it inspires. Looking forward to integrating and sharing with health clients, friends, and family, the deep messages I received 🙏❤️🧘🏻‍♀️

REST WORK. I’m a doer. This is me “doing” rest work. It’s when I tune into my body, my breath, and put the phone away. No scrolling and no doing anything. It’s a 15 min a day pause. I find it helping my digestion and my thyroid. I call it “rest work” because of my need for accomplishment and checking achievements off a list. I learned it from a wise teacher in a recent thyroid class who said her compulsive need for doing led her to calling “work” so that she would actually do it 😊🙏🧘🏻‍♀️

I’ve been saying/singing this:

I am the creator of my reality
I am on a mission
To bring out the best in me
Today I come to choose self love
I am bold and brave
I am enough.
- Patricia Moreno Inten Sati
❤️❤️❤️

May not look like much, but this was delish and just what my body needed! Congee is essentially grain ( here rice) that has been cooked in a 8:1 ratio so it’s soupy and easy to digest. I feel like white rice gets a bad wrap, but if your tummy is sensitive, it’s easy to digest and cooking it with all that water makes it like it’s pre-digested so super easy when you have a digestive issue going on like I do today!

I added some special herbal ingredients including Chinese herbs from my acupuncturist along with Shiso ( Japanese wild edible that has been naturalized here). Shiso is full of minerals and Astragalus root slices as an adaptogen ( great for stress) and immune system tonic which is also great for the thyroid. Ginger, scallions, turmeric, wild Spicebush berries and carrots gave it a nice touch. Had some steamed chicken with it for protein.
🙏🌿

If you have a stomach bug, diarrhea, nausea, or just upset tummy, leaky gut, colitis, chrons I find Congee to be super helpful! 🙏🥣

Two of my favorite plants for leaky gut, Chron's, and Colitis.

Plantain (Plantago major and Plantago lanceolata) along with Calendula (Calendula officinalis). 🌿

🌿Plantain is wonderful because it's abundant! AND NO, I am not talking about the banana like fruit but the plant growing on most people's lawns. It is a wonderful first aid remedy but what it does to the outside of the skin it also does on the inside. So alongside a host of vitamin and fiber benefits, it also heals and repairs the gut. The leaves are great to use, I also eat the seeds which contain psyllium. If you do not know how to identify it, it can be purchased. I prefer fresh to dry when possible. My favorite way to take it internally is in a tea but powder also works.

🌿Calendula is a wonderful plant that is anti-fungal and anti-bacterial. It promotes cell repair and has anti-inflammatory properties. Along with plantain it is great for healing and repairing the skin and also the gut! We use the flowers as medicine. Tea is my favorite way to consume it but powder also works.

It was such a pleasure helping Ginger!

A client came in the other day and said to me “Thank you so much for believing in me. I’ve never had somebody believe in me. This really touched me. I one time had a doctor, years ago tell me that I was treatment resistant. I held unto those hurtful words for much too long. He was telling I’m not help-able but really it was his frustration with not knowing how to help me. Having somebody believe in you and you believing in yourself and knowing that it’s possible to overcome anything is paramount. Having somebody teach you how to access your body’s inner wisdom and your own healing capabilities is key. I’m so so grateful to be doing this job to help people do just that! 🙏❤️
