Melissa ended up with Chicken Pox in her 20’s and it changed her entire digestive system. GI Doctors told her to just exercise or eat right, but it never worked. As she moved up the corporate ladder, her anxiety and stress became so overwhelming that she developed migraines and her gut health suffered.

Melissa tell us about the time she almost Poughkeepsied her pants and that was the moment she realized living with gut problems was not normal.

Melissa and I discuss our common migraine problems and potty problems.

For Melissa it’s all about what we put into our bodies.

One of her problems with the healthcare system is that we treat the body separately. Our bodies are connected and should be treated more as a whole rather than so many specialists. We have to be our own advocate and it starts with our own self-love and self-care.

Fun Things I Never Knew  – Doctors don’t have to take nutrition classes in their education.

Then we talk self-care

Sometimes self-care feels indulgent but without it…well you’ll see where Melissa and I both ended up. The biggest takeaway here is to listen to your body and don’t ignore the signs.

It’s also vital to talk positively to yourself. I once had only Blair Waldorf quotes as affirmations and that contributed to my nervous breakdown.

Be sure to listen to the full episode to get all of Melissa’s juicy tidbits!
