{Q&A with @elysenutritionist } I am gaining weight

{Q&A with @elysenutritionist } I am gaining weight...what am I doing wrong?

“If you feel like you’re eating well, moving your body, doing all the right things but the weight is either creeping on or not shifting, then there can be a few underlying factors.

1. Liver health - I see this very commonly in woman. If your liver is not detoxing properly, then hormones can be out of whack, toxins will build up, and weight will pile around the middle.

2. Not eating enough and/or not eating in the morning - most women I work with are not getting enough protein, especially in the mornings. Make breakfast more like dinner!

3. Stress - of course I have to mention this one! Stress can be challenging to avoid, but if you are rushing around all the time in fight or flight, you are telling your body to store.

4. Leptin resistance - have your leptin levels tested, if they are high and/or your reverse T3 is high, then you are likely leptin resistant and need to resolve this to lose weight (we will help with this in The Gut Health Formula for those that need it!)”

- @elysenutritionist

{Q&A with @elysenutritionist} Will a parasite clea

{Q&A with @elysenutritionist} Will a parasite cleanse help me sort out my gut issues?

“Parasites would be so simple if it was a matter of ‘kill them then they won’t be a problem anymore’. This is just absolutely not the case. Parasites are a response to an environment that is toxic and needs cleaning up. Parasites are invited into the body because there are toxins and inflammation, they ‘eat’ this to help the body clean this up.

Unfortunately, parasites do come with their own symptoms as well. If we just try to kill them, they will release all of the toxins back in to the system, and often make people more sick. We will not have changed anything about the toxic environment but rather just made it worse, and the parasites will return as the body will keep inviting them in.

To truly deal with parasites, we need to focus on actually cleaning up the body, the reason they were invited in. When we do this in clinic, we see parasites coming out in our clients stools without even touching any herbs to address parasites. We just need to get to the root cause!”

{Q&A with @elysenutritionist} Elyse Comerford (Integrative Nutritionist & GAPS Practitioner) has offered to do some Q&A posts for us! (You’ll also find questions I’ve answered for her over on her page @elysenutritionist 😊)

Question: How do I work on gut health with histamine issues?

“Ultimately, histamine issues are a gut issue, so working on your gut health is essential to resolving it. If you have been put on a low histamine diet, you would look at a gut healing diet and think, ‘Meat stocks, ferments - I can’t do those, they are high histamine!’. Really, it is all about the how. When we prepare gut healing foods properly we can keep them low in histamines. These foods are essential (along with other things like liver and detoxification support) to resolve the root cause of the histamine issues so you are not stuck in a cycle of just restricting with no resolution in sight. Almost every client we work with has some level of histamine intolerance, and we are always able to implement a gut-healing diet with them and see this histamine intolerance improve, so they can broaden their diet again without symptoms.” - @elysenutritionist

Struggling to find the motivation to make healthy

How?? 🤔

Join us for The Gut Health Formula, starting April 2nd!! 🎉🎉 We’ll help you get your health back on track with our balanced, doable, non-stressful approach to health!
