Everyone’s stressed out. And I’m willing to bet good money that until now, you’ve probably managed to muscle your way through it. You put on a strong, brave face, right? I get it… I’ve got plenty of clients who do that daily. Heck, I’ve used that method myself for many years in the past. But… The post Breathing Exercises To Reduce Stress For Gut & Skin Health: GFS Podcast 094 appeared first on Gluten Free School.

Your inner critic can be the most deadly opponent you face.

Maybe I needed some B vitamins… The post How Long Does It Take To Get Better?: GFS Podcast 092 appeared first on Gluten Free School.

My advice on how to make New Years resolutions is unconventional. Simply put — don’t make any. I’m not advocating for you to do nothing.

I expected my very first holiday being gluten free to be a total bust. At the time, I didn’t have any strategies or gluten free holiday tips to rely on. Instead, I expected to hit a bunch of “speed bumps” pretty hard. Yes, I was embarrassed by a relative who mocked my diet change. No, I totally failed… The post 5 Tips To Survive A Gluten-Free Holiday appeared first on Gluten Free School.

There’s an interesting overlap to MTHFR, Methylation, and Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. One that should not be overlooked or ignored. Methylation and Hashimoto’s are two big topics on their own, but I wanted to know if some sort of connection exists. If so, then hypothyroid suffers should know because methylation challenges should really be addressed as part… The post MTHFR, Methylation & Hashimoto’s with Dr. Eric Balcavage: GFS Podcast 089 appeared first on Gluten Free School.

I wouldn’t be surprised that if your thyroid is out of whack, you’ve likely searched for solutions for Hashimoto’s online. Many people do because you may have more options available to you than what your conventional doctor offers.

You’ve likely heard (or at least you will right now) that everything in your body is connected. One huge piece of this is the thyroid connection to feeling well.

Do you know how to talk to your doctor (or practitioner) so that they have enough information to be able to help you? Of maybe the better question is... have you ever lied to your doctor? It might be a little white lie ("no, I don't take any supplements" when you actually do) or a lie by omission. Heck, maybe it's your first visit and you don't feel comfortable yet disclosing every little detail of your health. It's natural to worry that you'll be silently judged as the practitioner...

Are you one of the many who feel that the process of healing costs a lot of money? If so, I have a question for you. Have you actually tried doing the free things that also can dramatically impact your health... you know, like meditation or mindfulness? Both are the two recommendations I share with clients that they most often avoid, ignore, forget, or just don't want to make time to do. Skeptically, clients (and even readers) will ask "can meditation help you heal faster?" The answer is...

One of the biggest reasons I started Seasons 2 of the Gluten Free School Podcast was to help you get better in a much shorter period of time. My perspective is this... if you've been wondering why you aren't feeling better after seeing your practitioner, then what CAN you do to make sure that progress happens. A lot depends on you as a client or patient. There's no magic pills or quick fixes to long-term, chronic issues despite what all the best marketing on the internet would have you...

One of the reasons that I started Season 2 ofthe Gluten Free School Podcast was to help empower you and other patients out there so that you can see results sooner. Clear, smart health goal setting for measuring progress with the practitioners deserves more attention. Why? Because you don't necessarily have to rely on expensive labs to tell you whether or not a protocol is working after a reasonable period of time. And also because the goals you come into their office with might not be...

Have you wondered if there are some signs or red flags bad practitioners have that you could spot ahead of time? You know... before you spend money and time with them? There certainly are and that's what today's conversation is focused around... what red flags you can look out for so that you don't end up kicking yourself... wishing you never stepped foot in their office.

Have you ever felt depressed? Depressed enough to ask for and take medication? Before taking antidepressants, I want you to consider that theyaren't just easy-to-pop little pills guaranteed tomake you feel better. Despite what all the happy TV commercials say, the side effects and long-term implications can be pretty troubling. I know the antidepressant battle all too well. Back in my early 20s, I was prescribed antidepressants to treat obsessive compulsive disorder. My first prescription...

After taking a bit of a hiatus, I'm back with Season 2 of the Gluten Free School Podcast that I'm calling "How to Be a Better Patient." Each episode will focus around one step that you can do before, during and after your visits to see better, more efficient results working with practitioners. I know what it's like to have your health be like a complete and total puzzle that leaves you spinning your wheels for way too long. While I completely believe in the idea that you are your own very...

Known as the “great imposter,” Lyme disease is a growing epidemic that can be difficult to diagnose as well as treat.
