Do It Yourself Health

Do It Yourself Health Work with me at www.diyhealthblog.com I healed from Irritable Bowel Syndrome after doctors told me I couldn't.

Now I help other people do the same with functional gut tests like the GI Map and SIBO test. Half the battle is figuring out what is driving symptoms. I help you do that with function medicine and nutrition coaching.

What we eat is driven by our psychology and emotion. What and how we eat tells us who we are and what we value and believe.

Those of us that tend to overdo (myself included) may find that a little bit helps/heals and too much harms/hurts.

For example a little bit of fermented food may do your gut good, too much can cause a flare of over fermentation.

Our intentions are often good but the ex*****on of too much, too fast and too soon lays in our emotional psychology.

Finding a balance is not about being perfect with our food, it’s about our relationship to it, and to ourselves.

Using food as a mirror helps us grow and heal down to the deepest root.

This is what we explore together in brain, body, biome.

If elastics leave marks on wrists/ankles, your lymph fluid may not be moving well. Moving the lymph will make all the difference with your mood, energy and bloat.

Your lymphatic system may need support of you feel puffy,
inflamed, heavy or “stuck”.

Your lymph system helps:
• move excess fluid (reduce water retention)
• clear waste + toxins
• regulate inflammation
• support immunity

Unlike blood…it has no pump and depends on movement + breath

Signs of sluggish lymph:

• Puffiness / swelling
• Marks from socks, rings, or elastics
• Feeling heavy or congested
• Brain fog or fatigue
• Slow recovery

🧠 There’s an emotional side too

Lymph = flow so when it stagnates you may feel:
• stuck
• overwhelmed
• emotionally heavy

🌿 Support lymph flow with:

• Walking 🚶‍♀️
• Rebounding (gentle bouncing)
• Dry brushing
• Sauna / sweating
• Deep breathing
• Stretching or yoga
• Lymphatic massage

It’s not about more detox, it’s about better drainage.

When lymph moves:
• water weight drops
• inflammation improves
• you feel lighter both physically + emotionally

Your body isn’t stuck, it just needs help moving..

If your gut still isn’t healing, you don’t need another protocol.

You need a different way of seeing what’s actually happening in your body.

After almost 15 years of doing this, I can tell you:

People don’t stay stuck because they’re not trying hard enough. They stay stuck because they’re:
• focusing on only one piece
• ignoring the bigger pattern
• trying to “fix” instead of understand

Your gut, hormones, nervous system and metabolism are not separate problems.

They’re one conversation.

And your body is constantly giving you feedback.

Symptoms aren’t random. They’re signals.

But most people don’t know how to read them so they keep guessing and throwing everything at the symptoms.

That’s how people get stuck in a stress loop.

If you feel worse after eating or like nothing is working…
comment “STUCK” and I’ll show you where to start.

No bot messaging, just a human conversation with me.
