Happy mid-May, friends!

As we finish out May, I (Allison) am finishing up my maternity leave! To help me take a break from recording new episodes, we're pulling content from our group coaching calls inside our private coaching group, the Better Belly Blueprint, to share with YOU.

Today's topic is from my client Brittany. She asked:

"I was wondering - how can having an umbilical hernia and having implanted mesh affect my progress with the course? I have been doing the leaky gut protocol and have been experiencing some pain and bloating that I didn't have prior. My mesh seems to be bothering me in the areas where I think it would be attached. I was wondering if you had any suggestions for relief? I'm also doing the liver protocol and getting ready to start the H. Pylori protocol."

This question is a GREAT example of how, even in a program that is designed to be customized to every client, there are still small little questions that can come up that are super unique and tailored to that individual - and how having access to regular coaching can make a BIG difference in your confidence and clarity around getting results!

I loved getting to chat through this question with Brittany! If you have had any surgeries or bodily injury to your body that you wonder if it could stop or limit your progress to heal - then this episode is for you!

Happy May!

As we step into the months of April and May, I (Allison) am finishing up my maternity leave. To give me a break from podcasting, we're pulling content from our group coaching calls inside our private coaching group, the Better Belly Blueprint, to share with YOU.

Today's topic is from my client Krista. She asked:

"What are the possible causes of oxalates being that high? I had no candida or mold on my OAT and I don't feel like I overeat oxalates...

To be truthful, my true vices in everything that I have given up have oxalates - coffee, dark chocolate and a good glass of red wine. I am giving up wine this month while doing these protocols (as well as all alcohol) - which I only had 2 glasses a week. I am weaning off coffee (only had two literal sips today of half calf because I LOVE the taste) and I am really hoping I don't have to completely give up chocolate - but what do you think?"

Krista's question comes from the fact that she got testing inside our program that showed that she has elevated levels of oxalates in her body that was part of the root causes driving her symptoms. Oxalates come from a variety of places, but one place you can control them the most is in your diet.

What she REALLY wanted to know is - what foods does she actually have to give up? Is it all foods with oxalates? Is her oxalate problem really about food - or is it possibly something else?

This is a GREAT question and one that opened us up to talking about the DEEPER root causes of oxalates other than food (because oxalate sensitivity is NEVER just about food!).

If you've ever looked into a low oxalate diet, or if you're stuck on a low oxalate diet and want to know if you can EVER come off - then THIS episode is for you!

Additionally - I have a WHOLE podcast episode on oxalates you can check out - 148// The Oxalate Episode. If you're new to oxalates or want to do an even deeper dive into them, then I highly recommend checking this episode out next!

Have you ever started a new supplement, and had your symptom not get better but WORSE?

Were you confused by this, and wondered if you should keep taking the supplement or stop altogether?

If you said yes to either of these questions, then this episode is for you!

On today's episode, we're sharing an audio from one our private, group coaching calls for members of my program, the Better Belly Blueprint. On this coaching question, I'm coaching my client Barbara about a rash on a neck she had suddenly return upon starting a new supplement.

Based on the training inside the Better Belly Blueprint, Barbara connected that this new supplement may be creating something called a Herxheimer reaction, or a detox and die-off reaction, so she stopped the supplement.

What she WASN'T sure about was - when (if ever?) could she safely re-start the supplement?

If you've ever been in a similar place to Barbara and have wondered about if you should keep taking a supplement if it gives you symptoms and, if yes, when or how to take that supplement safely - then you DON'T want to miss out on my answer to Barbara!
