Typically we use these emails for quick little tips you can put to use right away.
Today I’m hoping to inspire you as well.
Yesterday (literally, this was not a planned email), I was working with a client and we had been covering all sorts of GI issues she was having.
We had been in the weeds about how to tackle it all and yesterday I paused and just sort of asked her…how are you feeling?
Here’s what she said!
Day to day I feel great! In February, I felt like a balloon was in the top of my stomach. I was bloated and it got in the way of just being able to eat a normal meal, I’d have 3 bites and be too full to finish and then be hungry in 15 minutes.
I called my mom last week to tell her that I could wear my favorite (really cool!) pair of jeans again now that I wasn’t so bloated. AND I WORE THEM TO A PARTY, SAT DOWN, AND ATE DINNER IN THEM! THEY AREN’T JUST STANDING JEANS ANYMORE!
These are the real wins aren’t they?
When you can eat a whole dang meal and wear your favorite clothes? HECK YEA!
With permission, I’m going to share some screenshots of this client’s testing so you can see, on a deeper level, what we’ve been working on and how stool testing plays a role in being able to take impactful action.
Read on for pictures of testing with short explanations!
Bacterial overgrowth as a result of low stomach acid AND Candida (also tied to low stomach acid) = gas, bloating, inflammation, brain fog
We addressed these things with a combination of supplements, food (of course) and medication support from her primary care.
And now she can wear her cool jeans again.
This is the real reason I do this work. For the cool jeans.
