How to Incorporate Blenderized Tube Feedings (Real Food) for Your Healing, Holistic and Herbal Journey
Aug 1300:59:16Tap to summarizeAs a former NICU and GI Nurse, G tubes and Blenderized Feeding are a match made in heaven. Typical formula blends like ensure are a mix of sugar, processed oils, and synthetic vitamins. I would bet my bottom dollar that anyone who was on those long term would have chronic constipation/diarrhea, reflux, indigestion, poor wound healing, and overall poor health. This is all to common for tube families, but real food is an option to everyone and a way to get deep nourishment in the body. Whether you take food by mouth or by tube...real food should be accessible to us all. In this episode we are talking about -what is tube feeding -how real, blenderized feeds can support digestion, the microbiome, gut healing which in turn supports overall health. -how to transition to blenderized feeds -how herbal medicine can be apart of your g tube journey HEALING ALWAYS my tubie families <3 Hannah

Aug 600:21:48Tap to summarizeTHIS WEEKS PODCAST: HOW GI-MAP TESTING CAN UNCOVER THE ROOT CAUSE OF YOUR SYMPTOMS. If you've been following along you know one thing about me I AM A ROOT CAUSE MEDICINE girly aka I always want to figure out WHY something is happening so we can bring your body back into balance and let it do what it does best. The body is designed to heal and thrive when given what it needs. This week we are talking about GI-MAP or microbiome testing and how it uncovered a low level of a specific bacteria that supports metabolic function, insulin resistance, and weight loss in two of my clients who were struggling with metabolic imbalance. Akkermansia AND my own GI-MAP that I ran for loose stools and reflux which showed H.Pylori, and low levels of Staph + Pseudomonas (which is pretty normal for these overgrowths) and the specific herbal plan I made to clear up these overgrowths and get back into balance :) GI-MAP testing can take the guess work out of WHY we are having gut symptoms, show us clearly what is going on, and then create a unique plan using herbs and supplements SPECIFICALLY for your needs. Saving us time + money in the long run. Oh and of course...feeling better again <3 Be Gutsy + Healing Always
Transcribe →Do We Need Supplements To Be Healthy?
Aug 400:23:25Tap to summarizeTO SUPPLEMENT OR NOT SUPPLEMENT...THAT IS THE QUESTION. I get these Q's a lot Is supplementation necessary? Do I need supplements to be healthy? What supplements are going to "fix" this issue? The answer? It depends. It's confusing when the supplement industry is a 203 BILLION DOLLAR industry, we feel sicker than ever yet ....never in human history were we encapsulating products and we were fine. So what gives?? P.s. this is the beautiful part about science or testing especially in autoimmunity, cancers, gut dysbiosis, diabetes, and more because we can use lab data to help with targeted supplementation and herbal remedies and retest to ensure we are going in the right direction. Tune in for this weeks episode <3 Healing always

Jul 3000:22:58Tap to summarizeAs humans we all have unique gifts we came here with. Often times we shut down our most authentic selves out of fear. Instead what if we realized that we were meant to share our gifts with the the world, that was the reason we are here, that no one else has our medicine. What if being in that creative flow state was how we were supposed to live, not just something we shoved in the closet? Time to live in flow and birth creativity

Transcribe →How and Why We Test Your Gut Microbiome if it is Imbalanced
Jun 2200:34:41Tap to summarizeWhen we moved into our home, before we planted our garden - we tested our soil. Why ? Because I had no idea what the health of our soil was , the pH, the nutrients . I needed to get a baseline . Plants need certain nutrients to grow and thrive - and when we got the results - I knew exactly what amendments I needed to add for the soil to be a happy growth medium. The result - an abundant garden. I could have just thrown some stuff in the ground , tried some random amendments, and hoped for the best but most likely I would have had a poor harvest. Testing our gut microbiome is the same idea. It’s to show us where we are starting to help us get to where we want to go.good energy, healthy gut , vital lifestyle . If we’ve had a lot of imbalance , gut infections, antibiotics , etc. OR a lot of chronic health symptoms such as reflux, constipation, hormone imbalance , autoimmunity , or low energy . Testing the gut can begin to show us the ROOT CAUSE and what specifically we need to bring in for support . You can continue to do the guesswork but also…. The numbers don’t lie. Tune in for this episode on HOW why test and WHY we test the gut. Happy healing always, Hannah
