I grew up being bloated all the time. I thought it was normal. So I did what any self-conscious pre-teen would do and I sucked it in. All. The. Time. Yes, I'm serious. I walked around with a contracted gut because I was so scared anyone would see my bloat and think I was fat. Gosh, do I ever have compassion now for that young, self-conscious, scared little girl.
It took a few years and a few healthcare practitioners, and eventually as a teenager, my Naturopath told me I was dealing with Candidiasis. Candy-what?? She explained that I had an overgrowth of candida yeast (everyone has some, but mine was more prevalent than normal) and it was leading to some imbalances in my body and a whole lotta bloat. Fast forward 15 years, a Celiac diagnosis, food eliminations like you wouldn't believe and an obsessive journey of self-advocacy within the medical system, and I wound up with a PCOS diagnosis at 28.
Why the backstory? Because when I connected with today's podcast guest, Jass Stupak, Holistic Nutritionist, I was IMMEDIATELY a fan. Not only does Jass cut through the BS when it comes to supplements, beauty and health products, but she is so down to earth, a fellow Canadian and she is a PRO at helping women with their bloat, gut issues, hormone imbalances and truly leads by example when it comes to living a NOURISHED life.
You are going to LOVE this episode. I took so many notes and I know personally, it'll be one I revist often.
Jass is a wealth of knowledge and there are SO many nuggets of wisdom within this convo!
