Did you know we humans have a secondary brain in our gut? It's so much more than our "gut instinct" and is the main producer of serotonin, the happy chemical. So, it's no wonder how closely our mental and tummy health are connected. We get some great info and tips on making "self-care the most important healthcare" on today's pod with our guest, Mary Ann Camarillo.

So once again, Mary, andwelcome to the Women Excelling Everywhere podcast.
Oh, thank you again so muchfor having me. I love it.
(02:20):
I love it, And like Isaid, there's some some conversations here that
I am just can't wait to pardonthe pun get my teeth into So tell
us that we in the bio.It gave kind of a little bit of
background of the fact that you hadsome issues and how what you the story
(02:42):
we're in here a little bit aboutthe story of how you healed that.
But what led you is that kindof how you got into this work was
because of your own physical challenges.Yes, absolutely so. It took me
over a decade once I really gotserious about taking responsibility for my own health.
(03:02):
It literally took about ten years forme to kind of get everything where
I wanted it to be, whereI was living the life that I wanted
to live. And it was kindof a long, lonely journey, as
it is for most people who aredealing with any type of chronic illness of
any kind. And I kind offelt alone, you know, sometimes a
(03:23):
little hopeless at times, frustrated,overwhelmed. I mean, just a few
words that definitely crossed my consciousness,and I determined after the fact, you
know what, it would have beenso much easier if I had somebody by
my side to guide me and supportme, who believed that, you know,
healing was possible, because oftentimes Ididn't believe that myself. Yeah,
(03:46):
So, what were some of thesymptoms that you were suffering from, and
like, what was your career beforeand what were how did those symptoms affect
your life before you started this journey. So so, before I became a
health coach, I was a teacherfor over twenty years, I taught elementary
school and these all these bloating,the gas and all the fun uncomfortable ibs
(04:13):
like symptoms did not make my jobeasier. Luckily, I was able to
land my classroom close to a bathroom, and as one of my students very
seriously told another person who was goingto use my bathroom, she said,
no, no, no, that'smissus Camrio's bathroom. You can't use that
one. So I'm sure the studentsnoticed that I, you know, quite
(04:36):
used it quite frequently, so itkind of did, you know, remain
top of mind all the issues Iwas going through. But still I was
determined. I wanted to, youknow, make an impact on the lives
of little people at that time,and so I just kind of barreled through
it. You know. I wason the hamster wheel like so many women,
entrepreneurs and women everywhere just doing ourjobs, you know, going every
(05:00):
day, get up, do itagain, do it again, you know,
just kind of pushing it back.Oh yeah, yeah, it's okay,
it's there. It's just normal.It really does become your new normal.
And so that's happened for me.But it came to a point where
one day I woke up and Ihad these horrendously hideous, let alone painful,
swollen red rashes. It looked likegigantic beastings in back. When it
(05:26):
got really bad and I said,you know, I can't do this anymore.
I went to go see analogist asI had before, and I said,
you know, can you do thisskin test? You said you wanted
to do the blood test showed this, but can you do it? And
she did and I reacted to everything. But they almost didn't do the test
because when I showed up at theoffice after being anaistamine free, who knew
(05:47):
that was going to be my saviorat the time, both my arms were
swollen to twice our normal size.Wow, nurse in the office that I
don't think we could do the testtoday, and I almost down in tears.
I said, I can't, Ican't do this anymore. I need
you know, because I honestly everyfood was suspect. I couldn't. I
(06:08):
couldn't trust my own body. Itfelt like I was betrayed by my own
body at that time, and that'sa terrible feeling. You know, it's
supposed to be your friend with yougo. So that was that was kind
of my rock bottom, I wouldsay, But that's when I really started
listening to my gut and I andI thought, you know what, I
(06:28):
know, there's something desperately wrong.The doctor's I have no problem, We'll
just take out these foods and youcan still eat the other ones. And
I'm like, you know, youjust kind of know intuitively on so many
levels that this is not okay.And so I went home and I did
some soul searching, and I decidedto make some big lifestyle changes, which
(06:49):
was hard for the sugar attic thatI was one of them to give up
sugar. I was, you know, the sea's candy in my closet called
my name, I mean seriously,So yeah, I had a lot of
challenges to overcome with that and otherlifestyle changes that I had to make as
well along the way that thank god, I didn't do it all at one
(07:12):
time. I didn't even try,because I, you know, one step
at a time, right, wegot a baby step at if we're going
to make these changes. Yeah,you know, it's interesting that you say
that because we don't. We don'talways correlate the two. There's a lot
more information out now. You werein the you know, in the beginning
emergence of the connecting the gut tothe health issues. But that's a lot
(07:36):
of it's. It's it's almost aninconvenience that a lot of people don't want
to do. My husband is glutenintolerant and I say intolerant because he's not
allergic, but he has to stayaway from it or else it gives him
those digestive issues. So it's it'sdefinitely something that you have to train yourself
(07:58):
and once you get it down,it's easier. But for you, it
it looked like it sounds like itgot pretty serious. You know, swelling
and over histamine in your body wasjust crazy. Yeah. Yeah, Well,
and then the occasional round of steroids. You know, if I if
I ended up in the you know, I didn't go to the er often,
but if I had to go toan urgent care something, Oh here's
(08:22):
some steroids. Oh great, again, I can't be division and steroids.
I can't be the answer to myproblem, right, you know, you
just the medical system. They dothe best they can, right, the
conventional medical system as it is,they don't do well with chronic diseases per
se. So you know, aswomen especially, you know, we actually
(08:43):
have the power to impact our entirefamilies. And so if we take holistic
health seriously and we really kind ofstart listening to our gut, start with
the gut definitely, you know,where there were what seventy percent of the
immune system is housed. Start there, and then kind of like listen up,
(09:03):
you know, listen intuitively, that'sanother part of listening to our gut,
you know, like yeah, becausewe kind of know deep down inside
oftentimes, Like and I look backand I kind of knew years before that
things weren't perfect, but I wasn'tready to make any changes because really what
it boils down to is we needto be ready to make the change,
and I wasn't until I got badenough. But I tell people now,
(09:26):
you know, don't wait for adiagnosis, don't wait for somebody to tell
you you have X y Z.Take matters into your own hands. Self
care, you know, is thenew healthcare. I mean it really should
be. I love that self careis and new healthcare because then you avoid
a lot of the expense connected tohealthcare. So you talk about when you
(09:50):
explain your your story, you talkabout five things that you discovered on this
healing journey, because you mentioned thatit was like a ten year span of
getting yourself from that that for lackof a better term, rock bottom,
you know, that really unhealthy,unhappy state, and to to being healthy.
(10:13):
So what are let us know,what are those five things that you
discovered along that journey. Oh,let's see, Well, I would say
more a few of them. IsNumber one is food is not the only
answer. Everybody thinks food is.It's all about food, and food is
certainly foundational. It's fundamental, butit's not just about food. It's it's
(10:35):
way bigger than that. So that'sthat's number one. Yes, it's important,
but it's not the be all endall. Really, stress is huge.
Stress has It has an enormous impacton the gut microbiome. More so
than you probably know this as well, with all your study of the brain
(10:56):
and the gut being the second brain, you probably know all about about this.
It's it's huge, So people do. We don't realize it, and
so many of us we're on suchchronic stress all the time that we're not
even aware sometimes that we're under stress. I mean that was me, you
know, it was just normal.Once again, we normalize it. That's
(11:18):
just how things are. I'm busy, you know, But our body doesn't
see it that way. The chronicinflammation that's brought up by all these things,
that's that's not fun. That's that'sthat's when the body starts to turn
against you. That's what I learnedanyway, when I was going through my
all my issues. So definitely youneed to worry about stress. But we
(11:41):
all have our own fundamentals. Iwant to I want to share that real
quick, so our every fundamental isgoing to be different between me and for
you. So, for example,the main fundamentals that I that I talked
to my clients about all the timeare obviously eating, eating, movie,
sleeping, breathing, which many ofus take that for granted. Breathing is
(12:05):
super important also to reduce stress aswell, So those are super important fundamentals
that we don't want to miss,you know, we really want to pay
attention to that. Yeah, totally, totally, and if one is off,
well, first off, I agreeone hundred percent that the stress is
(12:26):
in your life sometimes we are justthat's just the day to day things that
happen, and so we consider themnormal. We consider living a high stress
or being, you know, havingthe brain and hyper stress arousal state being.
It's so normal for us because somany people just run through their life
that way. And then you know, making sure that you're doing some basic
(12:50):
things in that healing journey that isgood for it. Just pretty much anything
that's good for the body is goingto be good for the brain. And
you want your brain to support youbecause if your brain's not on tap,
if your brain is foggy, ifyour brain is tired, then that's when
you go for the seas candy inthe closet. Yep, yes, yes,
(13:11):
if it's even there anymore, it'scovered an empty box by now,
right right, which which that's whatwe fun so yeah, so definitely And
another so another thing I want tomention also is positive mindset and mindfulness as
well, but positive mindset. Youknow, we talk about often toxins in
the environment and how dangerous they arefor our bodies. You know, but
(13:37):
our thoughts and our emotions can oftenbe toxic, you know, hard to
digest. Let's say that's why youknow, when you eat when you're upset,
you know, or you shouldn't eatwhen you're upset because you'll get an
upset stomach kind of thing. It'sthe same kind of thing, you know,
like if we're feeding ourselves all thetime, these negative you know,
thoughts that is not ourselves are listeningto everything that we're and so that's not
(14:01):
going to be helpful in terms oflong term health for us as well.
Yeah. Absolutely, And when thatgut we're going to talk about the gut
in a minute, but that whenthe gut gets imbalanced, your serotonin production
gets messed up. And serotonin's thathappy chemical. So if you are in
that negative mindset, that negative placeon a daily basis, and some people
(14:22):
don't even realize they're there, that'sjust the way they live their life because
it's that routine is so comfortable andnormal for them that they don't realize it's
technically abnormal for positive, positive health. Yes, So, min and mindfulness
is you know, in line withmindset is you really need to be present
(14:46):
in the moment you know, andI know that doctors often tell people suffering
from depression and things, you know, like pay attention to the moment because
that's where our power is. Youknow, Like looking back over what we
did yesterday and feeling blame, shame, guilt, whatever, that's not going
to serve us, and we can'tdo anything about it, right, so
nothing we can do and look intothe future and worrying about what's going to
(15:07):
happen tomorrow or the next day ornext year, that's not going to serve
us. So here and now iswhere our power is. And this is
where we need to take control.So if we want to feel empowered,
now's it. Now's the time.This is going to be our future,
depending on where we steer the shipright now today. I love that.
It's so funny because one of thevideos that I've done today is is on
(15:31):
that mindfulness as I was watching thesun. One of our part of our
and you know this because we've hadthese conversations before. It's part of my
morning routine is that mindfulness practice.And so you know, my husband makes
a coffee if you the dogs areactually this morning he did both, but
you know, and and we sitand it's it's always before the sunrise.
And I was sitting you know,good, good weather, we'll sit outside,
(15:52):
but it's chilly this morning. AndI was sitting there on the couch
looking out the window as I doas watching sunrise rise. And over the
course of like five minutes, andI took a bunch of pictures which don't
even do it justice, but itwent from this, you know, just
the light at the on the horizon, to golds to reds, to orange
(16:18):
to purple, like you had thiswhole, huge, beautiful and it took
you know, this over this wholerange of five to ten minutes. However,
I didn't really time it, butit was it was a time period
and I was just paying I wasone hundred percent present, and I was
paying attention to all of these differenthues and the colors and meditating on that,
and I thought, how much dowe miss in life? How much
(16:40):
beauty do we miss in life ifwe don't take the time to be mindful,
And to your point, if wedon't take the time to be mindful,
then that means we're either worrying aboutthe past, or regretting the past,
or worrying about the future, whichcauses MORGA problem. Yeah, yeah,
(17:02):
that's a spiral. Then you're stressedout about what hasn't even happened yet
exactly exactly. So, since we'reon that gut thought, what's the biggest
myth when it comes to gut health? Because there's so much out there,
Oh my goodness, you can't youcan't turn the page on Facebook or on
(17:22):
any of these things without there beingsomething pop up about you know, this
celebrity promoting this proback to probiotic oryou know, like, what are some
of the myths that are out there? Well, first of all, I
didn't mention this before, but foodreally is definitely not the only factor.
There's a myth that it's all it'sjust food that's the only problem. If
(17:45):
I can just get my food right, if I can do XYZ like this
guy says, or ABC like theysay. But we're all bioindividual I mean,
like, what's what's good for memay not be good for you,
or what's good at one stage ofour life for us may not work for
us in another because our bodies andour cells are always turning over and changing.
(18:07):
So I think a lot of peoplethat we tend to think there's this
cookie cutter, you know, answerto all of our problems, and it's
not the case. Just like we'reall special, unique individuals. There's no
cookie cutter answer. Yeah, yeah, I like that, you have to.
It's we are as unique as asourselves, as our you know,
(18:29):
our own our own biome, andwhile we may have similarities, we have
to really dig down in that.So we've touched on on the gut health,
and we've touched on a little bitabout how stress affects it and how
different things will upset it. Whyis that so important? Why is paying
attention to the gut health so importantfor a healing journey? Like you talked
(18:56):
about mindset being one factor and youknowing the negativity and mindfulness and that type
of thing. But why is guthealth such an important piece? Like why
can't you just simply take a probiotic? I mean, we know that we're
we're individuals. You just said that, you know we're bio individuals. But
shouldn't you know, shouldn't be thatsimple. I mean some people do pay
(19:21):
take probiotics, and I'm not againstthem. I'm all about using food though
as medicine, to be honest,because feeding our back to the way they've
been meant to be fed by mothernature. You know, their job,
those microbiota are to really help usdigest our food and not just digest,
but process and absorb all those nutrientsso we can use them. And a
(19:44):
lot of people don't realize they createvitamins in our in our bodies, like
vitamins B twelve and vitamin K thatour body can use, just for an
example. So they also help withhormone regulation, you know, like you
and you mentioned serotonin, yep,neurotrans you know, neurotransfer. Ninety percent
of the serotonin is produced in ourgut. Everybody thinks it's made in the
(20:07):
brain, not all of it.So if we're not you know, if
we're not taking care of our gut, you know, that is going to
impact our mood, you know,and our emotional stability, whether you want
it or want to or not.Yeah, for sure, for sure.
So getting that So if it's not, if it's not getting that balanced right,
So if it's not just a matterof so what are some of the
(20:30):
things you can do right? Sowhat is it If it's not just pop
the pills. You talked about eatingripe for you like, how do you
what are some tips if somebody outthere is listening and saying, wow,
I have those gut problems or I'mperimenopausal, or I'm post menopausal or a
menopausal or or like these different stagesin life. Like what's the best place
(20:55):
to start? What do they doif it's not just taking one you know,
some probatics, or it's not justdoing mindfulness, Like what are some
things that a person can do toa start to identify what the sources are
and then be what to do aboutit? Right? So, well,
(21:15):
the first thing is is listen toyour body. Stop, you know,
be present when you're eating. Whatare you eating? How are you eating?
How are you feeling during this wholeprocess? You know, before,
during, and after. You know, we were in the habit of just
kind of oh I got a tenminute break, I got a hurry.
If you eat, you know,like just stuff in our faces so quickly
(21:37):
that we don't even have the time. Don't even taste our food, you
know, let alone, you know, give it a good chew that would
be helpful with digestion. So startthere listening to listening to our body,
listening to our gut. How,how, how is our gut actually feeling,
how are we feeling emotionally? Andthen stress is huge because it's so
(22:00):
huge Cortisol, the stress hormone,that's like the the I would say,
the kingpin when it comes to hormones. That really can put things off balance.
So if we are under a lotof stress and cortisol is high,
it can impact you know, ourfemale hormones, male hormones, all all
(22:22):
our hormone spectrum, it can reallykind of set that off balance. So
if you can get your stress undercontrol by you know, being mindful and
having that great mindset, then that'shelpful. I'm a huge fan of bone
broth. I started drinking it whenI was actually had the advice of a
natural path. I make my ownsuper easy to make because it can be
(22:44):
expensive to buy in the store.You know, just take some chicken bones,
turkey bones, whatever kind of bones, meat bones, whatever. I
like to use poultry bones, butyou can use what you want. Throw
it in a crock pot, fillit with water, put a little dash
of apple cider, vinegar or whatever, you know, carrots, onion,
celery, that's what I like toput in mind, but you can put
(23:04):
whatever you want in yours and thenjust put it on low for a day
or two. I like to domine for two days and then it's perfect.
And you could even use it forsoups if you want to make soup
whatever. You can drink it straightor you can put it in you know,
recipes that you're making. But Ilove that because and if you do
it right, it'll be really thickand gelatiny, which roast you know,
(23:29):
your head when you see it cold, but you know it's bone broth is
full of vitamins and minerals that aregreat for our bones and our body,
and the amino acids and essential fattyacids, all that stuff is fabulous.
So but it's great because in thegelatin is this amino acid called glutamine,
and glutamine is amazing for helping toheal prevent any leaky gut issues in our
(23:57):
mucosal lining. It is for thosepeople who aren't from air leaky gut.
So you know, the the liningof our small intestine, it's a very
thin layer. It's kind of likeimagine like a basket, you know,
a basket, and so when youget leaky gut, it opens up a
little bit and so instead of beingtight junctions like it's meant to be,
(24:18):
just basically letting out the nutrients thatyou know, our our our body has
has broken down from our food andletting those into our bloodstream. When it
gets leaky, oh no, thenwe have a problem because then undigested food
proteins are getting out or possibly possiblepathogens that we've taken in through our mouth
because you know, I imagine ourdigestive system that kind of protects the outside
(24:41):
from getting inside. You know,it keeps it all in that tube from
top to bottom. So nobody realizedor thinks about that much. But so
when it gets leaky, it cancause a number of things. But that
really ramps up the inflammation. AndI learned for myself that the allur ges
and the food intolerances, a lotof it had to do from a leaky
(25:03):
gut that I didn't even know Ihad. Yeah, however a lot of
people do have it because prescription drugs, antibiotic use, those can cause it.
The sad American diet or mad Americandiet depend who you talk to,
because yes, the traditional diet youknow that's high in processed foods and sugars
(25:26):
and all that lovely stuff that canmake us mad and sad put soft levels,
you know, so those can contributeto it as well without people even
realizing it. And stress. Stressis another one, believe it or not,
that can also contribute to that leakygut. So we want to keep
that, you know, that thosejunctions strong. It's supposed to let out
(25:48):
the good stuff, not all thebad stuff, right right. That's so
yes, that's I love that explanation, A great visual to help people understand
that, and I would agree.I think most people suffer from that and
don't even realize it. Again,oftentimes we don't even We go through our
days and we just do and wejust be and oh, there's a little
(26:10):
pain here, a little pain there, a little joint ache there, and
we just think it's kind of anormal part of aging or or an old
injury or whatever. We don't necessarilyalways stop and go, wait a minute,
this might be caused from something.So I did not know that about
bone broth. That is that isgreat information. I will have to I
will have to include that, especiallyfrom my husband. But yeah, that's
(26:30):
great, that's such great information.So then when you work with someone Marianne,
do you do you have like acomprehensive kind of intake form that you
do with them, or do youdo the traditional but blood tests or I
mean like, how do you helpthem determine right what it is that they
need to change or do you justhave your signature program that helps them self
(26:55):
identify and then make the changes theyneed to make. So so, yeah,
interestingly, so I do sit downwith them and I have a long
conversation and you know, kind ofjust kind of intake basically, yes,
where are you what's going on?To find out what's all happening, because
a lot of times I can startto you know, connect the dots just
by hearing the symptoms that they have, whether they know it or not.
(27:19):
You know, I can be like, okay, yeah, good to know,
good to know. I'm I'm nota huge fan. I did some
food intolerance testing. You can dofood allergy testing if your symptoms are super
severe, especially for people who haveanaphylactic I run to your allergies. Don't
come to me. You know,I can't help you with that, but
(27:41):
I definitely can help you to managethings, you know, once you've been
diagnosed with that. But if it'sthings like I had like the rashes and
things like that. Definitely, wedo kind of do a lot of personalized
work together. It's mostly things thatwe do together for them to build an
awareness because I can't do the workfor them. I mean, as much
(28:02):
as i'd like to, I wantthem to build an awareness of their body
and what triggers them and what feelsgood for them. So you know,
yes, I have some some stepsthat I follow when I work with clients,
but but really it's very customized andindividualized to them because, like I
said, we're all so different,right, very much, so very much.
(28:25):
So Now you have a free Tameyour Sweet Tooth. I love this.
I like it because you're speaking frompersonal experience. Obviously, you have
a Tame your Tame your Sweet Toothfive day sugar detox challenge. Tell us
about that, and I'm gonna forthe listeners, I am going to link
(28:48):
that. That link will be inthe in the show notes for this this
program today. But tell us alittle bit about that. Okay, So
I started that because I I Irealized that one of the things that I
do ask clients to do is toreduce and or eliminate sugar at some point
to see how that brings down theinflammation. You know, how their symptoms
(29:11):
might improve, you know, andtheir energy levels as well, their sleeps.
I mean, there's so many thingsthat improve when we take out a
lot of the added sugars because somany of us we don't even realize how
much added sugar we're taking in ifwe're eating processed foods in particular, and
that we could spend a whole podcastshow just about that. Yeah, But
(29:32):
I did find that a lot ofpeople they needed support, like I had
a hard time doing, and onmy own, I tended to be more
of a closet sugar addict, wherewhen my husband would step out of the
house if it was a rough day, that's when I went to the pantry.
So, you know, a lot, and I'm sure I'm not alone
in that. There's most of usdon't sit there and overeat the sugar in
front of somebody. It's not somethingthat we normally do. Although I have
(29:56):
to say I'm not afraid to indulgein front of other people, but not
to the extent that I might ifI was by myself and I was having
some challenging emotions that I didn't knowhow to deal with so we kind of
like walk them through some just somesimple steps. You know, every day
we have a new a new stepfor them to try and kind of to
(30:18):
crowd out the sugar, not justto say you can't have sugar. That's
it, you know, now nowtomorrow, wake up and have no sugar.
So like we have like guidelines forthem, and every day I have
a new video that comes out tothem during the challenge that tells them,
Okay, today we're gonna be workingon this, and so it kind of
takes your mind away from you know, the pack of the bag of sugar
(30:40):
that's in the pantry and onto somethingthat's a little more positive. So we're
trying to kind of crowd out thesugar with some positive habits that are gonna
better support them. I love that. I love that. And and here's
here's why. One is that thewhen you tell your brain no, your
(31:02):
brain automatically wants whatever it is yousaid no to you. You know,
psychologically, that's one of the worstthings you can do. So doing the
replacement, whereas okay, well youknow I'm not saying no, I'm just
saying let's have this instead today,or let's focus on this today. That
is that it helps the brain tonot go into that panic mode where now
(31:25):
you've set on fire, you're amigdalaand you don't have the thought capacity when
that happens to do things right.So I like that that making the micro
changes that eventually lead to a macrochange in your life. So I love
that, and I love that you. You also have a health professional academy
that you you have as well asa ninety day training, so you have
(31:48):
a lot of other ways that peoplecan work with you if they'd like to
connect and work with you. Yes, yes, awesome. And you also

So once again, Mary, andwelcome to the Women Excelling Everywhere podcast.
Oh, thank you again so muchfor having me. I love it.
(02:20):
I love it, And like Isaid, there's some some conversations here that
I am just can't wait to pardonthe pun get my teeth into So tell
us that we in the bio.It gave kind of a little bit of
background of the fact that you hadsome issues and how what you the story
(02:42):
we're in here a little bit aboutthe story of how you healed that.
But what led you is that kindof how you got into this work was
because of your own physical challenges.Yes, absolutely so. It took me
over a decade once I really gotserious about taking responsibility for my own health.
(03:02):
It literally took about ten years forme to kind of get everything where
I wanted it to be, whereI was living the life that I wanted
to live. And it was kindof a long, lonely journey, as
it is for most people who aredealing with any type of chronic illness of
any kind. And I kind offelt alone, you know, sometimes a
(03:23):
little hopeless at times, frustrated,overwhelmed. I mean, just a few
words that definitely crossed my consciousness,and I determined after the fact, you
know what, it would have beenso much easier if I had somebody by
my side to guide me and supportme, who believed that, you know,
healing was possible, because oftentimes Ididn't believe that myself. Yeah,
(03:46):
So, what were some of thesymptoms that you were suffering from, and
like, what was your career beforeand what were how did those symptoms affect
your life before you started this journey. So so, before I became a
health coach, I was a teacherfor over twenty years, I taught elementary
school and these all these bloating,the gas and all the fun uncomfortable ibs
(04:13):
like symptoms did not make my jobeasier. Luckily, I was able to
land my classroom close to a bathroom, and as one of my students very
seriously told another person who was goingto use my bathroom, she said,
no, no, no, that'smissus Camrio's bathroom. You can't use that
one. So I'm sure the studentsnoticed that I, you know, quite
(04:36):
used it quite frequently, so itkind of did, you know, remain
top of mind all the issues Iwas going through. But still I was
determined. I wanted to, youknow, make an impact on the lives
of little people at that time,and so I just kind of barreled through
it. You know. I wason the hamster wheel like so many women,
entrepreneurs and women everywhere just doing ourjobs, you know, going every
(05:00):
day, get up, do itagain, do it again, you know,
just kind of pushing it back.Oh yeah, yeah, it's okay,
it's there. It's just normal.It really does become your new normal.
And so that's happened for me.But it came to a point where
one day I woke up and Ihad these horrendously hideous, let alone painful,
swollen red rashes. It looked likegigantic beastings in back. When it
(05:26):
got really bad and I said,you know, I can't do this anymore.
I went to go see analogist asI had before, and I said,
you know, can you do thisskin test? You said you wanted
to do the blood test showed this, but can you do it? And
she did and I reacted to everything. But they almost didn't do the test
because when I showed up at theoffice after being anaistamine free, who knew
(05:47):
that was going to be my saviorat the time, both my arms were
swollen to twice our normal size.Wow, nurse in the office that I
don't think we could do the testtoday, and I almost down in tears.
I said, I can't, Ican't do this anymore. I need
you know, because I honestly everyfood was suspect. I couldn't. I
(06:08):
couldn't trust my own body. Itfelt like I was betrayed by my own
body at that time, and that'sa terrible feeling. You know, it's
supposed to be your friend with yougo. So that was that was kind
of my rock bottom, I wouldsay, But that's when I really started
listening to my gut and I andI thought, you know what, I
(06:28):
know, there's something desperately wrong.The doctor's I have no problem, We'll
just take out these foods and youcan still eat the other ones. And
I'm like, you know, youjust kind of know intuitively on so many
levels that this is not okay.And so I went home and I did
some soul searching, and I decidedto make some big lifestyle changes, which
(06:49):
was hard for the sugar attic thatI was one of them to give up
sugar. I was, you know, the sea's candy in my closet called
my name, I mean seriously,So yeah, I had a lot of
challenges to overcome with that and otherlifestyle changes that I had to make as
well along the way that thank god, I didn't do it all at one
(07:12):
time. I didn't even try,because I, you know, one step
at a time, right, wegot a baby step at if we're going
to make these changes. Yeah,you know, it's interesting that you say
that because we don't. We don'talways correlate the two. There's a lot
more information out now. You werein the you know, in the beginning
emergence of the connecting the gut tothe health issues. But that's a lot
(07:36):
of it's. It's it's almost aninconvenience that a lot of people don't want
to do. My husband is glutenintolerant and I say intolerant because he's not
allergic, but he has to stayaway from it or else it gives him
those digestive issues. So it's it'sdefinitely something that you have to train yourself
(07:58):
and once you get it down,it's easier. But for you, it
it looked like it sounds like itgot pretty serious. You know, swelling
and over histamine in your body wasjust crazy. Yeah. Yeah, Well,
and then the occasional round of steroids. You know, if I if
I ended up in the you know, I didn't go to the er often,
but if I had to go toan urgent care something, Oh here's
(08:22):
some steroids. Oh great, again, I can't be division and steroids.
I can't be the answer to myproblem, right, you know, you
just the medical system. They dothe best they can, right, the
conventional medical system as it is,they don't do well with chronic diseases per
se. So you know, aswomen especially, you know, we actually
(08:43):
have the power to impact our entirefamilies. And so if we take holistic
health seriously and we really kind ofstart listening to our gut, start with
the gut definitely, you know,where there were what seventy percent of the
immune system is housed. Start there, and then kind of like listen up,
(09:03):
you know, listen intuitively, that'sanother part of listening to our gut,
you know, like yeah, becausewe kind of know deep down inside
oftentimes, Like and I look backand I kind of knew years before that
things weren't perfect, but I wasn'tready to make any changes because really what
it boils down to is we needto be ready to make the change,
and I wasn't until I got badenough. But I tell people now,
(09:26):
you know, don't wait for adiagnosis, don't wait for somebody to tell
you you have X y Z.Take matters into your own hands. Self
care, you know, is thenew healthcare. I mean it really should
be. I love that self careis and new healthcare because then you avoid
a lot of the expense connected tohealthcare. So you talk about when you
(09:50):
explain your your story, you talkabout five things that you discovered on this
healing journey, because you mentioned thatit was like a ten year span of
getting yourself from that that for lackof a better term, rock bottom,
you know, that really unhealthy,unhappy state, and to to being healthy.
(10:13):
So what are let us know,what are those five things that you
discovered along that journey. Oh,let's see, Well, I would say
more a few of them. IsNumber one is food is not the only
answer. Everybody thinks food is.It's all about food, and food is
certainly foundational. It's fundamental, butit's not just about food. It's it's
(10:35):
way bigger than that. So that'sthat's number one. Yes, it's important,
but it's not the be all endall. Really, stress is huge.
Stress has It has an enormous impacton the gut microbiome. More so
than you probably know this as well, with all your study of the brain
(10:56):
and the gut being the second brain, you probably know all about about this.
It's it's huge, So people do. We don't realize it, and
so many of us we're on suchchronic stress all the time that we're not
even aware sometimes that we're under stress. I mean that was me, you
know, it was just normal.Once again, we normalize it. That's
(11:18):
just how things are. I'm busy, you know, But our body doesn't
see it that way. The chronicinflammation that's brought up by all these things,
that's that's not fun. That's that'sthat's when the body starts to turn
against you. That's what I learnedanyway, when I was going through my
all my issues. So definitely youneed to worry about stress. But we
(11:41):
all have our own fundamentals. Iwant to I want to share that real
quick, so our every fundamental isgoing to be different between me and for
you. So, for example,the main fundamentals that I that I talked
to my clients about all the timeare obviously eating, eating, movie,
sleeping, breathing, which many ofus take that for granted. Breathing is
(12:05):
super important also to reduce stress aswell, So those are super important fundamentals
that we don't want to miss,you know, we really want to pay
attention to that. Yeah, totally, totally, and if one is off,
well, first off, I agreeone hundred percent that the stress is
(12:26):
in your life sometimes we are justthat's just the day to day things that
happen, and so we consider themnormal. We consider living a high stress
or being, you know, havingthe brain and hyper stress arousal state being.
It's so normal for us because somany people just run through their life
that way. And then you know, making sure that you're doing some basic
(12:50):
things in that healing journey that isgood for it. Just pretty much anything
that's good for the body is goingto be good for the brain. And
you want your brain to support youbecause if your brain's not on tap,
if your brain is foggy, ifyour brain is tired, then that's when
you go for the seas candy inthe closet. Yep, yes, yes,
(13:11):
if it's even there anymore, it'scovered an empty box by now,
right right, which which that's whatwe fun so yeah, so definitely And
another so another thing I want tomention also is positive mindset and mindfulness as
well, but positive mindset. Youknow, we talk about often toxins in
the environment and how dangerous they arefor our bodies. You know, but
(13:37):
our thoughts and our emotions can oftenbe toxic, you know, hard to
digest. Let's say that's why youknow, when you eat when you're upset,
you know, or you shouldn't eatwhen you're upset because you'll get an
upset stomach kind of thing. It'sthe same kind of thing, you know,
like if we're feeding ourselves all thetime, these negative you know,
thoughts that is not ourselves are listeningto everything that we're and so that's not
(14:01):
going to be helpful in terms oflong term health for us as well.
Yeah. Absolutely, And when thatgut we're going to talk about the gut
in a minute, but that whenthe gut gets imbalanced, your serotonin production
gets messed up. And serotonin's thathappy chemical. So if you are in
that negative mindset, that negative placeon a daily basis, and some people
(14:22):
don't even realize they're there, that'sjust the way they live their life because
it's that routine is so comfortable andnormal for them that they don't realize it's
technically abnormal for positive, positive health. Yes, So, min and mindfulness
is you know, in line withmindset is you really need to be present
(14:46):
in the moment you know, andI know that doctors often tell people suffering
from depression and things, you know, like pay attention to the moment because
that's where our power is. Youknow, Like looking back over what we
did yesterday and feeling blame, shame, guilt, whatever, that's not going
to serve us, and we can'tdo anything about it, right, so
nothing we can do and look intothe future and worrying about what's going to
(15:07):
happen tomorrow or the next day ornext year, that's not going to serve
us. So here and now iswhere our power is. And this is
where we need to take control.So if we want to feel empowered,
now's it. Now's the time.This is going to be our future,
depending on where we steer the shipright now today. I love that.
It's so funny because one of thevideos that I've done today is is on
(15:31):
that mindfulness as I was watching thesun. One of our part of our
and you know this because we've hadthese conversations before. It's part of my
morning routine is that mindfulness practice.And so you know, my husband makes
a coffee if you the dogs areactually this morning he did both, but
you know, and and we sitand it's it's always before the sunrise.
And I was sitting you know,good, good weather, we'll sit outside,
(15:52):
but it's chilly this morning. AndI was sitting there on the couch
looking out the window as I doas watching sunrise rise. And over the
course of like five minutes, andI took a bunch of pictures which don't
even do it justice, but itwent from this, you know, just
the light at the on the horizon, to golds to reds, to orange
(16:18):
to purple, like you had thiswhole, huge, beautiful and it took
you know, this over this wholerange of five to ten minutes. However,
I didn't really time it, butit was it was a time period
and I was just paying I wasone hundred percent present, and I was
paying attention to all of these differenthues and the colors and meditating on that,
and I thought, how much dowe miss in life? How much
(16:40):
beauty do we miss in life ifwe don't take the time to be mindful,
And to your point, if wedon't take the time to be mindful,
then that means we're either worrying aboutthe past, or regretting the past,
or worrying about the future, whichcauses MORGA problem. Yeah, yeah,
(17:02):
that's a spiral. Then you're stressedout about what hasn't even happened yet
exactly exactly. So, since we'reon that gut thought, what's the biggest
myth when it comes to gut health? Because there's so much out there,
Oh my goodness, you can't youcan't turn the page on Facebook or on
(17:22):
any of these things without there beingsomething pop up about you know, this
celebrity promoting this proback to probiotic oryou know, like, what are some
of the myths that are out there? Well, first of all, I
didn't mention this before, but foodreally is definitely not the only factor.
There's a myth that it's all it'sjust food that's the only problem. If
(17:45):
I can just get my food right, if I can do XYZ like this
guy says, or ABC like theysay. But we're all bioindividual I mean,
like, what's what's good for memay not be good for you,
or what's good at one stage ofour life for us may not work for
us in another because our bodies andour cells are always turning over and changing.
(18:07):
So I think a lot of peoplethat we tend to think there's this
cookie cutter, you know, answerto all of our problems, and it's
not the case. Just like we'reall special, unique individuals. There's no
cookie cutter answer. Yeah, yeah, I like that, you have to.
It's we are as unique as asourselves, as our you know,
(18:29):
our own our own biome, andwhile we may have similarities, we have
to really dig down in that.So we've touched on on the gut health,
and we've touched on a little bitabout how stress affects it and how
different things will upset it. Whyis that so important? Why is paying
attention to the gut health so importantfor a healing journey? Like you talked
(18:56):
about mindset being one factor and youknowing the negativity and mindfulness and that type
of thing. But why is guthealth such an important piece? Like why
can't you just simply take a probiotic? I mean, we know that we're
we're individuals. You just said that, you know we're bio individuals. But
shouldn't you know, shouldn't be thatsimple. I mean some people do pay
(19:21):
take probiotics, and I'm not againstthem. I'm all about using food though
as medicine, to be honest,because feeding our back to the way they've
been meant to be fed by mothernature. You know, their job,
those microbiota are to really help usdigest our food and not just digest,
but process and absorb all those nutrientsso we can use them. And a
(19:44):
lot of people don't realize they createvitamins in our in our bodies, like
vitamins B twelve and vitamin K thatour body can use, just for an
example. So they also help withhormone regulation, you know, like you
and you mentioned serotonin, yep,neurotrans you know, neurotransfer. Ninety percent
of the serotonin is produced in ourgut. Everybody thinks it's made in the
(20:07):
brain, not all of it.So if we're not you know, if
we're not taking care of our gut, you know, that is going to
impact our mood, you know,and our emotional stability, whether you want
it or want to or not.Yeah, for sure, for sure.
So getting that So if it's not, if it's not getting that balanced right,
So if it's not just a matterof so what are some of the
(20:30):
things you can do right? Sowhat is it If it's not just pop
the pills. You talked about eatingripe for you like, how do you
what are some tips if somebody outthere is listening and saying, wow,
I have those gut problems or I'mperimenopausal, or I'm post menopausal or a
menopausal or or like these different stagesin life. Like what's the best place
(20:55):
to start? What do they doif it's not just taking one you know,
some probatics, or it's not justdoing mindfulness, Like what are some
things that a person can do toa start to identify what the sources are
and then be what to do aboutit? Right? So, well,
(21:15):
the first thing is is listen toyour body. Stop, you know,
be present when you're eating. Whatare you eating? How are you eating?
How are you feeling during this wholeprocess? You know, before,
during, and after. You know, we were in the habit of just
kind of oh I got a tenminute break, I got a hurry.
If you eat, you know,like just stuff in our faces so quickly
(21:37):
that we don't even have the time. Don't even taste our food, you
know, let alone, you know, give it a good chew that would
be helpful with digestion. So startthere listening to listening to our body,
listening to our gut. How,how, how is our gut actually feeling,
how are we feeling emotionally? Andthen stress is huge because it's so
(22:00):
huge Cortisol, the stress hormone,that's like the the I would say,
the kingpin when it comes to hormones. That really can put things off balance.
So if we are under a lotof stress and cortisol is high,
it can impact you know, ourfemale hormones, male hormones, all all
(22:22):
our hormone spectrum, it can reallykind of set that off balance. So
if you can get your stress undercontrol by you know, being mindful and
having that great mindset, then that'shelpful. I'm a huge fan of bone
broth. I started drinking it whenI was actually had the advice of a
natural path. I make my ownsuper easy to make because it can be
(22:44):
expensive to buy in the store.You know, just take some chicken bones,
turkey bones, whatever kind of bones, meat bones, whatever. I
like to use poultry bones, butyou can use what you want. Throw
it in a crock pot, fillit with water, put a little dash
of apple cider, vinegar or whatever, you know, carrots, onion,
celery, that's what I like toput in mind, but you can put
(23:04):
whatever you want in yours and thenjust put it on low for a day
or two. I like to domine for two days and then it's perfect.
And you could even use it forsoups if you want to make soup
whatever. You can drink it straightor you can put it in you know,
recipes that you're making. But Ilove that because and if you do
it right, it'll be really thickand gelatiny, which roast you know,
(23:29):
your head when you see it cold, but you know it's bone broth is
full of vitamins and minerals that aregreat for our bones and our body,
and the amino acids and essential fattyacids, all that stuff is fabulous.
So but it's great because in thegelatin is this amino acid called glutamine,
and glutamine is amazing for helping toheal prevent any leaky gut issues in our
(23:57):
mucosal lining. It is for thosepeople who aren't from air leaky gut.
So you know, the the liningof our small intestine, it's a very
thin layer. It's kind of likeimagine like a basket, you know,
a basket, and so when youget leaky gut, it opens up a
little bit and so instead of beingtight junctions like it's meant to be,
(24:18):
just basically letting out the nutrients thatyou know, our our our body has
has broken down from our food andletting those into our bloodstream. When it
gets leaky, oh no, thenwe have a problem because then undigested food
proteins are getting out or possibly possiblepathogens that we've taken in through our mouth
because you know, I imagine ourdigestive system that kind of protects the outside
(24:41):
from getting inside. You know,it keeps it all in that tube from
top to bottom. So nobody realizedor thinks about that much. But so
when it gets leaky, it cancause a number of things. But that
really ramps up the inflammation. AndI learned for myself that the allur ges
and the food intolerances, a lotof it had to do from a leaky
(25:03):
gut that I didn't even know Ihad. Yeah, however a lot of
people do have it because prescription drugs, antibiotic use, those can cause it.
The sad American diet or mad Americandiet depend who you talk to,
because yes, the traditional diet youknow that's high in processed foods and sugars
(25:26):
and all that lovely stuff that canmake us mad and sad put soft levels,
you know, so those can contributeto it as well without people even
realizing it. And stress. Stressis another one, believe it or not,
that can also contribute to that leakygut. So we want to keep
that, you know, that thosejunctions strong. It's supposed to let out
(25:48):
the good stuff, not all thebad stuff, right right. That's so
yes, that's I love that explanation, A great visual to help people understand
that, and I would agree.I think most people suffer from that and
don't even realize it. Again,oftentimes we don't even We go through our
days and we just do and wejust be and oh, there's a little
(26:10):
pain here, a little pain there, a little joint ache there, and
we just think it's kind of anormal part of aging or or an old
injury or whatever. We don't necessarilyalways stop and go, wait a minute,
this might be caused from something.So I did not know that about
bone broth. That is that isgreat information. I will have to I
will have to include that, especiallyfrom my husband. But yeah, that's
(26:30):
great, that's such great information.So then when you work with someone Marianne,
do you do you have like acomprehensive kind of intake form that you
do with them, or do youdo the traditional but blood tests or I
mean like, how do you helpthem determine right what it is that they
need to change or do you justhave your signature program that helps them self
(26:55):
identify and then make the changes theyneed to make. So so, yeah,
interestingly, so I do sit downwith them and I have a long
conversation and you know, kind ofjust kind of intake basically, yes,
where are you what's going on?To find out what's all happening, because
a lot of times I can startto you know, connect the dots just
by hearing the symptoms that they have, whether they know it or not.
(27:19):
You know, I can be like, okay, yeah, good to know,
good to know. I'm I'm nota huge fan. I did some
food intolerance testing. You can dofood allergy testing if your symptoms are super
severe, especially for people who haveanaphylactic I run to your allergies. Don't
come to me. You know,I can't help you with that, but
(27:41):
I definitely can help you to managethings, you know, once you've been
diagnosed with that. But if it'sthings like I had like the rashes and
things like that. Definitely, wedo kind of do a lot of personalized
work together. It's mostly things thatwe do together for them to build an
awareness because I can't do the workfor them. I mean, as much
(28:02):
as i'd like to, I wantthem to build an awareness of their body
and what triggers them and what feelsgood for them. So you know,
yes, I have some some stepsthat I follow when I work with clients,
but but really it's very customized andindividualized to them because, like I
said, we're all so different,right, very much, so very much.
(28:25):
So Now you have a free Tameyour Sweet Tooth. I love this.
I like it because you're speaking frompersonal experience. Obviously, you have
a Tame your Tame your Sweet Toothfive day sugar detox challenge. Tell us
about that, and I'm gonna forthe listeners, I am going to link
(28:48):
that. That link will be inthe in the show notes for this this
program today. But tell us alittle bit about that. Okay, So
I started that because I I Irealized that one of the things that I
do ask clients to do is toreduce and or eliminate sugar at some point
to see how that brings down theinflammation. You know, how their symptoms
(29:11):
might improve, you know, andtheir energy levels as well, their sleeps.
I mean, there's so many thingsthat improve when we take out a
lot of the added sugars because somany of us we don't even realize how
much added sugar we're taking in ifwe're eating processed foods in particular, and
that we could spend a whole podcastshow just about that. Yeah, But
(29:32):
I did find that a lot ofpeople they needed support, like I had
a hard time doing, and onmy own, I tended to be more
of a closet sugar addict, wherewhen my husband would step out of the
house if it was a rough day, that's when I went to the pantry.
So, you know, a lot, and I'm sure I'm not alone
in that. There's most of usdon't sit there and overeat the sugar in
front of somebody. It's not somethingthat we normally do. Although I have
(29:56):
to say I'm not afraid to indulgein front of other people, but not
to the extent that I might ifI was by myself and I was having
some challenging emotions that I didn't knowhow to deal with so we kind of
like walk them through some just somesimple steps. You know, every day
we have a new a new stepfor them to try and kind of to
(30:18):
crowd out the sugar, not justto say you can't have sugar. That's
it, you know, now nowtomorrow, wake up and have no sugar.
So like we have like guidelines forthem, and every day I have
a new video that comes out tothem during the challenge that tells them,
Okay, today we're gonna be workingon this, and so it kind of
takes your mind away from you know, the pack of the bag of sugar
(30:40):
that's in the pantry and onto somethingthat's a little more positive. So we're
trying to kind of crowd out thesugar with some positive habits that are gonna
better support them. I love that. I love that. And and here's
here's why. One is that thewhen you tell your brain no, your
(31:02):
brain automatically wants whatever it is yousaid no to you. You know,
psychologically, that's one of the worstthings you can do. So doing the
replacement, whereas okay, well youknow I'm not saying no, I'm just
saying let's have this instead today,or let's focus on this today. That
is that it helps the brain tonot go into that panic mode where now
(31:25):
you've set on fire, you're amigdalaand you don't have the thought capacity when
that happens to do things right.So I like that that making the micro
changes that eventually lead to a macrochange in your life. So I love
that, and I love that you. You also have a health professional academy
that you you have as well asa ninety day training, so you have
(31:48):
a lot of other ways that peoplecan work with you if they'd like to
