The Dr Kirstin Show

Carly Faye Loewenthal is a master level NLP certified Life Coach, and a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner. In this episode we explore the many different ways our thoughts, beliefs and emotions influence our physical health. It's so common that we focus so much on the strategies, the nutrition, the supplements, the exercise and sleep and all the "doings", but we often miss making sure our internal and mind space are in alignment with the health and healing that we want. Carly runs a brain-based, trauma informed business where she takes her clients on a transformational journey to reclaim the personal power hidden in their layers of symptoms, to unlock a future of endless possibilities as they level-up on the other side. Carly specializes in supporting women who struggle with disordered eating, and uses a variety of support tools like functional lab testing, subconscious reprogramming, and personalized coaching. She is also certified as a master in NLP, Quantum Time Techniques & hypnosis, and holds a Master of Science in Education with 12+ years of experience as an educator.

To me, there is nothing more frustrating than applying strategy after strategy, supplement and nutrition protocol after protocol, taking action, and being no closer to the results than when I started... and often deeper in the hole than where I started, too. That was where I was in my health, career and business; looking for strategies and trying to find that one coach, program or person that finally had what I needed in order to turn things around.

I learned though, that I was looking at it all wrong. In today's episode, I discuss why the protocols and strategies are important, but they aren't the whole picture. You'll learn where everyone puts their focus and they often miss a very critical aspect that builds the foundation to have those protocols and strategies work.

As "gut" symptoms are becoming more prevalent and athlete's are learning more about their gut, it's putting a highlight on "normal" symptoms that actually aren't "normal". These symptoms might look like bloating, cramping, pain, constipation, loose stools/diarrhea - various diagnoses, inflammation etc. etc. We always want to look deeper into the environment and what's causing the issues of course like imbalances in gut bacteria, yeast presence, prebiotics/short chain fatty acids/butyrate levels, immune system function, protein/fat absorption and breakdown and more. But what happens when you've done all that and you still have symptoms... sometimes? And it's unclear now what's causing it?

​

There are many ways that the gut and brain communicate. They are centers for many functions within the body. If you've ever felt nervous, where do you often experience that emotion? Many people will say the gut/stomach. If you get anxious or stressed, do you feel a tightening in your abdomen? Have you considered, just based on this example, that when (if) you experience symptoms in your gut, that your gut might be trying to tell you something? But because we don't think about the body in this way, is it possible you're missing a very critical cue that could have a positive impact on your symptoms moving forward? Today's episode dives into this topic and more!
