Rising Sun Women's Health Coaching

You can take all of the supplements in the world but if you are constantly go-go-going, there is a good chance your hormones are going to continue to be off. Our bodies need to feel SAFE in order to have hormonal balance (why would we want to get pregnant if we're escaping what is perceived as constant danger?). Stress control is fundamentally important when working on gut health and hormonal imbalance at all ages and is often the thing that is overlooked in the world of over-supplementation and medications.

Gut health is finally starting to get the attention it deserves because it is closely linked to SO many health conditions. Our gut is a diverse ecosystem of little critters and when this ecosystem gets thrown off, problems start coming in.

How do you know if things are off in this department? Are you struggling with things like bloating, constipation, diarrhea, frequent colds, fatigue, joint pain, weight loss resistance or hormonal imbalance? If so, there is a good chance your gut could use a little boost (or perhaps a big boost).

Sounds too simple doesn't it? I can't count the number of times that this single thing was the game changer for GI symptoms for people.

Chewing is where you mechanically break down your food in your digestive system - the more you can really break it down the easier it is for your body to digest and really
use the nutrients you are taking in. Your stomach doesn’t have teeth - help it out! Ideally you want to chew your food at least 15-20 times - some research even shows 40 chews is the optimal amount!

Tip: 👉Most people chew their food maybe 5 times before swallowing. Start by increasing this number by a few bites and slowly work your way up from there.

How many times have you paused before eating to really look, smell, and experience the food you’re about to consume? Digestion starts in the brain. Taking a brief pause before eating, along with a few slow deep breaths, can help to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system (the rest and digest nervous system) which can improve digestion substantially as it improves blood flow to the GI tract and stimulates digestive enzymes and stomach acids to begin to breakdown food. Additionally,
sitting down and limiting distractions such as phone scrolling or watching TV can improve mindfulness and enjoyment as well as prime your digestive system to do what it does best.

👉If we want our body to actually absorb that amazing lunch we're about to eat, let's make sure we give it the opportunity to!

Reminder for all my busy Type A moms out there! 👇

I remember this night clearly-we had a rare night away from our son. We were going out for a nice dinner and drinks with actual adult conversation and then to see Wicked followed by some drinks at a piano bar. All should have been well.

But I felt like S #!T. Like I had eaten a bowl of glass fragments as an appetizer. It hurt to breathe much less sit down through a 3 hour show. I remember wishing I had a more forgiving dress on and that I could just go home and lay down but putting on a happy face because it was a rare night out.

And, well, because this was a normal, regular thing for me. The feeling of sharp piercing abdominal pain after eating was such a normal occurrence for me I had completely forgotten what not having this was actually like. The thought of eating and not experiencing pain was totally foreign to me.

How many pictures like this was I just smiling away for when inside I felt like the stabbing wasn't going to ever go away?

Four years ago, I started on a journey of finally healing. Now, I almost never feel that glass shard pain that had become my normal for almost 20 years. I no longer have to pick outfits based on how bloated I'll be at the end of the night and come up with lame excuses about why I couldn't go out at night.

Healing my gut was seriously life changing for me. It's not perfect. I get flare ups still at times but much less often and I know how to handle them without ending up in a downward spiral. I know what to eat now to best fuel my body without causing negative side effects and no longer dread going out to eat.

I had almost given up when I had stared to finally find relief. I had done every diet I knew, taken slews of medications and supplements and had done all the tests that conventional medicine would do. I was labeled with "IBS" and told it was probably just stress.

Don't just live with it. I wish I had known what I know now 20 years ago. There is help out there for you if you are struggling with digestive or pain issues that your doctor has given up on with you. Keep looking for answers. Don't just pretend smile and keep on going. Make it a real smile.

The vast majority of the time, when we work on key foundational pillars of health such as nutrition, sleep and stress, symptoms start to resolve, energy shoots up and people start to feels pretty great.

However, what if you're doing all the things and still struggling with exhausting and frustrating symptoms that aren't going away? There are times when further testing is really what's needed to dig in deeper and get to the root cause of what is driving those symptoms. And for those who need it, doing something like a comprehensive stool test can help you get a very specific healing protocol that, when combined with holistic health coaching, can finally move that needle to get your feeling better.

Taking on this certification this year was a bit of an undertaking, but I'm so excited to be able to level up services and to be able to further help clients with root-cause issues through offering functional gut and food sensitivity testing. More fun to follow!

This book was on my wish list for a long time and it did not disappoint! Highly recommend this to anyone looking to improve the health of our society, planet and global economy. Our food choices impact so much more than just ourselves.

Tis the season for family get-togethers and holiday parties and there's no shortage of sugar and alcohol hanging out at these events. And I'm all about living life in balance with moderation which means to say I'm going to go through the holidays with no sugar or no alcohol is just not going to happen. However, I know that when I do drink my sleep and gut suffer so I make sure to keep these tips in mind to keep me cruising through the holidays feeling my best, while still getting to indulge a bit here and there.
