Both women and men can experience a belly pooch or belly bulge, along with gut issues such as bloating, gas, constipation, and digestive discomfort. So what do most do? Try to get rid of it with typical weight loss tactics, including dieting and exercising. But if you have a belly pooch and also struggle with pain (especially low back pain), gut issues, and poor posture, stability, and core streng...

For most people who want to improve their nutrition, they often seek to gain more KNOWLEDGE. They read books, seek out experts, or search the internet for the best foods to eat or the best diet to try. But the truth is that we cannot achieve optimal health and well-being from knowledge alone. Application + EXPERIENCE is what gets us the health we are wanting to achieve, and this is where Yoga come...

Most people believe DETOX means getting on a restrictive diet, taking some supplements, or drinking a special juice or tea in order to cleanse the body. But true, effective detox actually involves much more than this. Our bodies have natural detox processes – our liver, kidneys, lungs, gut, and skin work hard everyday to eliminate toxins and wastes that don't serve us. And while there are ways to...

Gut Health is a buzzword these days, but did you know that our gut health is influenced by much more than just the foods we eat? In the last couple of years, there's been an increase in the amount of people who've gained excess weight, accumulated pesky symptoms that the doctors just can't figure out, or picked up some mental, emotional, or physical habits that are likely adding to overall health...

Most people think that changing their diet is the best place to start when making changes for their health. Despite all my education and knowledge in the fields of Nutrition and Functional Medicine, almost all of it was irrelevant last year when I got really sick. None of the dietary practices I had previously lived by helped me, and this made me realize that we have to go deeper if we want to cre...

There's no doubt that our conventional healthcare system today is broken. It's flooded with patients, and this inevitably leads to mistakes and mismanagement of patients by the healthcare workers. Many patients are left navigating their care on their own, especially when they feel "off" and have pesky symptoms, but doctors can't help them because they don't have a disease diagnosis or their labs a...

Your feelings aren't just figments of your imagination, and they don't just come out of nowhere. They involve complex, physical processes that deserve to be understood and addressed. Why? Because our feelings cascade many of the biochemical reactions in our bodies. Our feelings are TOOLS that allow us to work through the challenges in our lives. However, many of us were never taught how to truly f...

It seems like there's always a new health solution popping up on the market. Rather than chasing all the "fad" diets, experts, supplements, or exercises, first redefine what it means to truly BE HEALTHY. Your version of healthy will likely look different from someone else's version of healthy, so what works for them might not necessarily be what's best for you. As we start to look towards the new...

While conventional medicine focuses mainly on our "physical" body, there are actually four essential layers of the body that make up our WHOLE being. And aligning these four layers is key to shifting the body from a state of dis-ease to a state of ease. Also, your intention to heal plays a large role in your healing journey. Yet most people live their lives on default and wonder why their healing...

For many people, as they get older, they find that the pounds tend to pack on easier, especially around the waistline. So what do they do? Likely get on some sort of diet in an attempt to "eat better" or "eat less". This is the solution most people reach for because there seems to be a new diet on the market every other month. You might lose a few pounds, but more often than not, the weight comes...

In today's busy world, most people don't pay enough attention to their posture. However, improper sitting and standing positions can put a strain on many body systems, especially our gastrointestinal system and organs. So, are you aware of how important your posture is for your gut health? In this episode of the Mind Your Health Show, Dr. Connie explains exactly how poor posture can negatively aff...

The gut-brain connection is essential for optimal health, however this connection involves more than our brains telling us when we're hungry. Did you know that 70-80% of the immune system is present in the gut, and up to 90% of our neurotransmitters are produced in the gut? Because of this, it's important to understand that the gut and brain are intimately connected, and our brains have the abilit...
