POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

The thoughts you have about food do not originate from your mind: they originate from a complex interplay between your brain, body, and your environment.

Many people who have a challenging and complex relationship with food blame themselves for the difficulties they have navigating their body in the context of food.

While our individual choices, thoughts, decisions, beliefs, and emotions do indeed influence our relationship with food, they are not the only aspects of our existence that do.

Some of us, for a variety of reasons, are more reactive and sensitive to food cues.

Understanding how this works can help you take better care of yourself.

To learn more, we invite you to join us tomorrow for a discussion about food noise and GLP-1.

In many of the stories of health recovery I've filmed and recorded for WellBe, as well as with people I've worked with privately... people see 6, 10, 15 doctors before someone figures out what is really wrong or has a more holistic approach that helps them heal the underlying root causes of their symptoms or condition. ⁠
⁠
It's disheartening to think about that much time, effort and money spent. It breaks my heart because sometimes healing is delayed by years or even decades, and the disease or symptoms get much worse over that time.⁠
⁠
One thing I've learned: there isn't one kind of doctor who can solve every health issue. Each doctor has different training and experience, a different approach and different levels of commitment to digging deep into your case. ⁠Just because someone has an MD doesn't mean they know everything about what could be making you sick or the best way to help you heal. They're a human being, after all, with their own baggage, biases, screw ups, preferences, attitude, trauma, etc.⁠
⁠
I went through this very situation when I had both Lyme and Amenorrhea and it has very much inspired by private holistic patient advocacy work. I love fighting for people to get them what they need faster and better, and be there for them when a promising path doesn't work out or there's a set back so they can keep moving forward and so that they don't give up.⁠

If you had a symptom or health issue you couldn't figure out... how many doctors did it take to get a real root cause answer?! #getwellbe [📝 survey data via @fightlikeawarrior]

AFPA Marketing Manager, @ahealthnerd shares his advice in the AFPA grad Insider Community, our exclusive business building Facebook group made just for AFPA grads (#linkinbio to join if you are an #AFPAcertified grad!).⁠
⁠
"With the abundance of information out there about everything from mindfulness to plant-based eating to functional foods, a lot of our clients are confused and overwhelmed.⁠
⁠
Between this information overload and people's personal experiences and trauma, you may find that some of your clients feel disempowered and don't feel in control.⁠
⁠
One way to empower your clients and remind them that they know and can do more than they think is to ask what I personally call "moving" questions. These are questions that prompt people to think about their thoughts (meta-cognition) and evaluate their experiences (introspection).⁠
⁠
Depending on the client, you may want to preface some of these questions with, "I'm going to ask you a couple questions that might seem tough to answer at first, but I think they'll really help us. Take your time thinking about them and know that this is a safe place to share whatever is on your mind."⁠
⁠
1. What are you doing right now that isn't working for you?⁠
⁠
2. What purpose does [behavior or thought] serve?⁠
⁠
3. If you knew that you actually did have the answers, how would you feel?⁠
⁠
4. If you knew that you could [accomplish whatever the client's goal is], what would that look and feel like to you?⁠
⁠
5. What if you didn't need to have it all figured out before moving forward?⁠
⁠
6. What if you knew you didn't need to do [behavior or thought] anymore?⁠
⁠
7. What would it be like if you decided that, right now, you were going to start [something]?⁠
⁠
8. What is one thing you can start tomorrow that will bring you just one step closer to your goal?⁠
