Why the Functional Diagnostic Nutrition approach is so powerful at helping clients reach their health goals. Why the DIY approach to fixing your health issues actually costs you more time and money, compared to hiring the right practitioner to help. The role childhood trauma, ACES, and attachment issues plays in physical health issues. Mental health can be improved through improving nutrition and removing food triggers. Most processed foods have additives that make them very addictive, along with promoting inflammation in the gut and brain. Why simple habit changes one-by-one and walking can be so helpful in supporting mental health Why toxin avoidance is imperative for physical health and mental health You can know what to do with your diet, but that knowledge is worthless if you don’t know how to apply it to reach your health goals Wheat sensitivity is linked with more than just gut symptoms, and the majority of people with wheat sensitivities don’t have gut symptoms (Extended ACES Questionnaire) 7 Steps to Healing Childhood Emotional Trauma and Building Resilience by Niki Gratix Wendy’s contact info: www.wendyjoyrosen.com Instagram handle: @wendyjoyrosen Link to my website Link to a free 15 minute Gut Check Call Link to my free guide Disclaimer: None of the content discussed is meant to be taken as medical advice.
