When you or your child experience persistent symptoms - whether it’s digestive discomfort, skin issues, mood swings, or chronic fatigue - you might not immediately connect these issues to your gut.

I experienced this firsthand. After battling the healthcare system and fighting for my son's health for two and a half long, arduous years, I finally learned that his eczema, acid reflux, sour-smelling poop, chronic diarrhea, restless sleep, developmental delays, food cravings, sensory issues, and behavioral outbursts were all directly related to his gut health.

Realizing this was a pivotal moment for our family. Understanding the link between these symptoms and a severe gut imbalance was the crucial first step in healing his body from the inside out.

In this episode I will help you connect common symptoms to your gut so you can heal just like my son. ♡

When you or your child experience persistent symptoms - whether it’s digestive discomfort, skin issues, mood swings, sensory processing issues, or chronic fatigue - you might not immediately connect these issues to your gut. I experienced this firsthand. After battling the healthcare system and fighting for my son's health for two and a half long, arduous years, I finally learned that his eczema, acid reflux, sour-smelling poop, chronic diarrhea, restless sleep, developmental delays, food cravings, sensory issues, and behavioral outbursts were all directly related to his gut health. Realizing this was a pivotal moment for us. Understanding the link between these symptoms and a severe gut imbalance was the crucial first step in healing his body from the foundation. 

Imagine your body as a house. Over time, you might see cracks in the walls or notice that the floors are uneven. While these are visible signs of trouble, the root cause often lies in the foundation. Similarly, when your gut is out of balance, the symptoms you experience are just the surface issues. The true problem is a disruption in your gut microbiome. When your gut is functioning well, it supports your entire body. But when it’s imbalanced, it can lead to a cascade of issues, from inflammation to chronic health problems.

Gut imbalances are linked to a range of symptoms—digestive issues like bloating and constipation, skin problems such as eczema and acne, mood disorders including anxiety and depression, and even autoimmune conditions. These imbalances lead to inflammation, which is a key driver of many diseases and health issues.

So, what exactly is a gut imbalance? It’s when there’s an overgrowth of harmful bacteria, yeast, mold, fungus, pathogens or parasites in your gut. This disruption upsets the delicate balance needed for good health, leading to the symptoms and conditions that are so often treated instead of healing from the root problem.

Now, you might be thinking, “How could I or my child possibly have a gut imbalance? We eat really healthy, we’re careful about the cleaning products we use, and we’ve never even taken antibiotics.” I felt the same way. It didn’t make sense to me why my son had such a severe gut imbalance, despite our efforts to do everything right. The truth is, imbalances are more common than you might think.

Gut imbalances can be passed down from mother to child during childbirth, some people are more genetically susceptible to imbalances. Our modern lifestyles contribute to the problem as well. Due to chemicalized farming we no longer receive the naturally occurring beneficial bacteria from our environment that humans historically did. All while our exposure to harmful bacteria, yeast, pathogens, and environmental toxins is now higher than ever, with these toxins present in our water, air, and food. Daily stress, poor sleep, and natural fluctuations in gut bacteria also play a role. So even with a healthy lifestyle, these factors can still make us vulnerable to gut imbalances.

Before we keep going I have to mention that rebalancing isn’t just for those with severe symptoms; everyone can benefit from it. Even if you don’t have noticeable symptoms, addressing gut health can prevent future issues and support overall well-being. And who knows. You might just be like me. I never had any reason to believe my gut was anything but balanced. I have always experience healthy and regular poops. But when I committed to healing myself for my son’s sake - my life completely changed. My ADHD quieted, I could suddenly think clearly, my skin became clearer than ever before and my hormones regulated. I stopped experiencing seasonal allergies and my sleep is deeper than I ever experienced. 

So now that we have connected the dots between symptoms and gut health, let’s talk about how you can start addressing these root issues? You need to heal your gut. But how? The hardest part is that there is so much information out there and every bit seems to contradict the next. 

The key is to focus on foundational steps that support gut healing and rebalance your microbiome. By cutting through the noise and focusing on proven strategies, you can begin to address the root causes of your symptoms and work towards restoring your gut health.

This is why I am here doing what I do. I created this podcast to educate you and make the process of gut healing as straightforward as possible because I’ve already waded these waters and had to do it alone. You don’t have to go through it by yourself. This is also why I’ve poured my heart into creating ōNLē ORGANICS. To provide the absolute best quality supplements to support your journey. Unlike many gut health supplements that are filled with citric acid, gums, artificial flavorings, and dyes—ingredients that undermine the very healing they’re meant to support—ONLE ORGANICS products contain only what’s necessary and nothing more. I hold a very high standard for our supplements, and I give every single one to my family daily. My Women’s and Children’s Gut Rebalance Kits are circling the globe because they align with these standards and offer the foundational support needed to rebalance your gut and heal from within. These kits are designed with your health and well-being in mind, providing a proven path to a healthier gut and a better quality of life.

Rebalancing with the Women’s and Children’s Gut Rebalance Kits will address the overgrowth of harmful bacteria, yeast, mold, fungus, pathogens, and parasites in your gut. This reduces inflammation and sets the stage for comprehensive healing. When you purchase a kit, you'll also receive free access to The Essentials of Gut Health Course. In this course I walk you through the entire rebalancing process, so you are supported and guided throughout the entire healing process. 

By focusing on restoring balance to your gut, you’re setting yourself up for lasting health and well-being. Think of it as stabilizing the foundation of a house to ensure that everything built upon it is strong and secure. With this approach, you’re giving your body the best chance to heal from within and thrive.

In this episode we connected the dots between symptoms and your gut. We briefly discussed why imbalances are so common and I have shared a proved healing method with you. The same method that healed my son and now thousands of other women and children. Where you take this information is up to you and I surely hope to celebrate your healing with you soon!
