Do you have chronic gut issues?

Maybe you have even done testing, run protocols and cleanses to clear your gut…..BUT

You are still suffering the bloating, the pain, constipation and brain fog?

I spoke to a lady in the USA the other day, in this EXACT position.

She is constantly on enzymes and HCL to get some form of comfort.

Not to mention a heavily restrictive diet.

Over and over, I see people that get testing, are given protocols, see short term results but long term it just seems to get worse again.

Here’s a few reasons WHY that happens.

1. Your gut ISN’T the only problem.

Now, coming from the ‘gut guy’ that might sound weird.

Yet it’s true, the gut is a massive player in health but it is interconnected on so many levels to the immune system and other cellular processes.

Thus if you just try to deal with the gut, it will fail long term.

2. Your behaviours don’t allow for good health.

There is nearly ZERO point running to supplements and protocols if you haven’t dialled in great behaviours to ensure gut health.

– Correcting circadian rhythm
– Upping physical activity (not exercise)
– Understanding the sleep / fast cycle
– Vagal tone
– Optimal cell hydration (to name a few)

3. Mindset

Many believe that you can fix physical health by giving a big swerve to mindset. Nope, not going to happen.

The reason you have the issue is also because you have a mindset that allowed it to happen to a point. You gotta do the work as poor mindset will hold back physical health.

4. The ‘quick fix‘ mentality.

People believe that ‘1’ protocol or restrictive diet will solve their issues. Nope.

Your body is not static, thus you have to be willing to look at the body as moving part that has to be treated as such.

5. Your diet is holding you back, even if you feel better on it.

As I explained to this client, just because a person is symptom free on a diet, doesn’t mean it’s good for them long term.

Especially true if that is a very restrictive diet.

6. Not understanding how cell dysfunction works.

You don’t have to have a degree in biology or biochemistry but it’s essential to know that cell dysfunction is the START of a problem, over time it becomes a ’tissue’ dysfunction (many cells).

Thus you have to understand what is negatively effecting cell health and correct it as well as the gut.

7. You use poor testing.

Testing is a minefield. Conventional testing for stool is crap at best (pun intended).

Functional testing can almost be as bad when they release tested without the proper levels testing and proof the results can be replicated.

Do your research and don’t be afraid to ask questions on why a person is using a certain test.

This is a VERY brief list.

What I want you to know is there is always a way to improve your gut, even if you are on the toilet 20 times a day losing blood like I was 11 years ago.

You just need someone that isn’t obsessed with 1 area.

Good luck.

I don’t even like using the word diet as it immediately brings thoughts of restriction

What we eat and why is a way of life and that can either support your health or destroy it

Been there, done that

And to be totally honest this is a bit of a confession…

See only a little while back every time I was about to complete a work task or finish a project I’d find myself mindlessly rummaging through the kitchen cupboards or going straight for the fridge door to check what yum stuff I can find in there

I’d literally go for anything salty or crunchy I could find, take it back to my desk, finish the whole thing and then attempt to complete what I was doing

By that point frustration and anger started creeping it

I was angry and frustrated with myself (obviously) for being out of control of my cravings

And more often than not, those emotions would overwhelm me so much so I could not finish my tasks and projects

And then I would feel ashamed of myself, as I thought I should know better

It was almost like one part of me knew exactly what she should be doing

Yet another was like a wrecking ball, crushing every single ounce of my willpower

And it wasn’t until I realised what was truly going on for me that I could start understanding how to put a stop to those mindless urges

The thing is, there could be so many reasons that we attempt to find for our mindless eating

Yet I can tell you this with 100% confidence – lack of willpower is not your problem here!

It’s how your body and mind do or do not work together

Over the years of working on my own urges and those of countless of our female clients

I realised that no matter how much we try to dress it up

What it really comes down to is fear of failure or fear of success

Either way, they’re both just a version of our fear of judgment

We don’t want to be judged for what we feel is our failure and equally we’re scared of what people would think if we’re successful

Therefore we seek comfort in food that deep down we know we don’t need and shouldn’t be eating

Can you see how a ‘diet’ or an exercise plan just won’t cut it?

Not much will change unless we understand what’s really driving that food devil that lives on your shoulder

I don’t know what you have going on this month but as Cliff and I are putting together this epic workshop helping women silence that food devil, we’d love to help you with that, like we’ve helped so many other women.

Send me a DM if you’re up for that so we can speak more about it!
