Midlife Conversations with Natalie Jill
Changing Conversations Around Age, Potential, and Possibility for Women in MIDLIFE
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) is the presence of excessive bacteria in the small intestine and can be the cause of chronic diarrhea and malabsorption – which leads to the potential to suffer with nutritional deficiencies and osteoporosis. What happens is that it harms the migrating motor complex, which is a sweeping motion in the small intestines that sweeps out bacteria and debris.
SO MANY women in midlife are navigating challenges like sleep disruptions, anxiety, and lack of mental clarity. While it’s easy to just blame it on being in midlife, it doesn’t have to be the case. I brought Barton Scott on the podcast because he is a pure engineering magician when it comes to optimizing our minerals, elements, and nutrients that are absolutely fundamental to our overall health, well-being, and basic human performance.
Health by CHOCOLATE! Yep, I said it! Chocolate that is good for you! One of the most common questions I get when women begin my fat loss plans is actually “can I still eat chocolate?” (and of course, “can I still drink a glass of wine?!” lol). I always say yes. Truth is, there are SO many health benefits that can come from chocolate (it could actually even pass as a superfood maybe)…as long as you are eating the right kind of chocolate – because there is a lot that can go WRONG with chocolate, too. I had Jonahtan on from my personal favorite chocolate company Living Ratio to tell us all about what we should be looking for in our chocolate.
Doug Grant is known as “The Formulator” and has made SUCH A BIG difference in my life in terms of testing and supplements. I mean, who knew that you’re actually supposed to FEEL your supplements when you take them?! Lol I didn’t – and never did, until I started taking his. They are such high quality supplements that I can actually FEEL the difference when I take them. I feel more alert, more energized, more focused. Not in a caffeine way…but just an extra edge in your performance. Come to find out, a lot of the supplements we can find out there (even if from a “good natural brand”) are synthetics and make it hard for our body to even use – if it even can!
I had a whole host of strange symptoms. Fortunately, Laura interrupted my spiral and said, “Did you know that your gut and parasites can cause blood sugar dysregulation?” I thought someone like me who eats so perfectly can’t possibly have parasites. BUT I did! And Laura helped kickstart my total detox journey from Parasites, to Heavy Metals, to Mold, and general Detoxing
