Digestive Symptoms May not Be What You Think!

​Did you know that many symptoms of digestive distress show up in areas of our body that we may think have no connection to digestion?
​
If we’re not tuned in to our body this can make getting to the root of the issue quite difficult and laborious. 

In addition to that, our current health care system is more focused on putting band-aids on problems; the majority of healthcare providers lack the time, education and tools needed to address root causes.

This was one of the reasons I transitioned my career as a registered nurse to become a holistic nutritionist; I was tired pills being the go-to solution for health issues. I was also tired of hearing things like “that’s normal” or “that’s just how it is”, when I knew deep down that there must be a way for both myself and my patients to live a more vibrant life.

If you’ve ever been in a similar scenario then I encourage you to find a holistic practitioner that takes your issues seriously and is interested in addressing the root cause(s).

If you’ve experienced or are experiencing any of the following, please know that it is not normal (even if it’s common) and that you deserve to feel better!

Common (but abnormal) digestive related signs and symptoms:

• Gas, bloating, diarrhea, or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• Food sensitivities or allergies
• Brain fog, difficulty concentrating, ADD or ADHD
• Depression and anxiety
• Acne, rosacea, or eczema
• Seasonal allergies
• Asthma
• Irregular periods, PMS, or PCOS
• Diagnosis of chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia
• Rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto’s, lupus, psoriasis, celiac disease, or any other autoimmune condition
• ​

Again, if you’ve been bothered by any of these symptoms, your diet, and likely other areas of your life needs support!

Please find comfort in the fact that there are solutions out there for you!

If you’d like more information about how to get started, please get in touch with me or speak with a holistic, functional or naturopathic practitioner with whom you trust!
