Stomach Rules!!!

Whether you are experiencing food allergies, painful menstrual cycles, morning sickness, infertility, special needs challenges, one thing each person has in common is a challenge in the stomach. When the health of your stomach becomes compromised, all other systems of the body are affected as they all rely on what is first processed in the stomach. This could leave your body vulnerable to varying health issues.

Your stomach is responsible for processing EVERYTHING – your thoughts, emotions, life experiences, and food. The health of your stomach is affected by food nutrition, your response to stress, and your belief about ‘digesting’ your life experiences.

Common symptoms of stomach problems include:
• Gas
• Stiff shoulders/neck/joints
• Headaches/migraines
• Cold hands/feet
• Poor memory
• Insomnia
• Muscle aches and pains
• Abdominal cramping after eating
• Diarrhea/constipation
• Weight issues
• Fatigue
• Anxiety
• Loss of libido

You must address the health of your stomach in order to fully address any health challenge. First, examine your nutritional intake; remember good nutrition helps to heal and bad nutrition helps to deteriorate and foster dis-ease.

Other support for building a healthy stomach includes drinking the appropriate amount of water daily, taking the right enzymes, which help to repair and optimize functioning of your stomach and entire body; add essential oils to your daily lifestyle - they create gentle, positive changes in your stomach; choose a more relaxed and grounded response to stress and how you process your life experiences.
