Your Gut Is Talking. Are You Listening? What Living With a GI Condition Taught Me About Productivity, Mental Health, and Showing Up

Beskrivelse

There is a version of my story that looks clean from the outside. The podcast. The coaching. The content that drops every Tuesday without fail. And then there is the version nobody sees. I have been managing a chronic and progressive GI condition since I was twenty-five. I also have spinal damage that affects nerve function to my gut, which compounds everything. Over the last year the flares have gotten longer, more complicated, and harder to recover from. I stopped hosting events. I stepped back from in-person personal training. I lost muscle I spent years building because I was fatiguing too quickly to maintain the workouts that used to be non-negotiable for me. And I got quieter. More isolated. Not by choice, by necessity. Today I am telling the story. Because I think there are people listening right now who are managing something similar in silence. Who are pushing through symptoms and calling it discipline. Who are performing for everyone around them while their body is fighting a war nobody can see. This episode is for you. In This Episode: What the gut brain connection actually is and why your gut health is affecting your brain, your mood, and your emotional baseline at a physiological level. How chronic gut inflammation creates brain fog that has nothing to do with motivation or discipline. Why your gut is disrupting your sleep before you even close your eyes and what that loop is doing to your recovery. The mood and anxiety piece that nobody connects to gut health and the grief that comes with a progressive condition. What the last year of isolation, pulling back, and rebuilding has actually looked like. And what it means to build a life that works with your body instead of constantly fighting against it.

The Author BookTok Loves That I Outgrew and the One Nobody Is Talking About Enough Yet | The Unfiltered Bookshelf Vol. 2 | Ep.117

The shelf is growing. And this volume gets completely unfiltered. Volume 1 of The Unfiltered Bookshelf started with a TBI that took reading from me for two years and the author who gave it back. If you have not listened to that one yet go find it first because it is the foundation of everything this series is built on. Volume 2 is where things get honest. I have read every Colleen Hoover book. I kept exactly two of them. And I am going to tell you which two, why those two earned a permanent place on the shelf behind me, and why everything else did not. Not as a pile-on. As someone whose reading taste has evolved and who is not apologizing for it. And then I am going to introduce you to Alice Feeney. The author who has been quietly sitting in BookTok's shadow while Beautiful Ugly finally starts getting the attention her entire catalog deserves. She is a slow burn author who delivers twists that do not stop. And she earned her place on my shelf faster than almost any author I have read this year. Plus two more Freida McFadden additions that pushed deeper into what she is capable of. One that is so completely unhinged it has to be experienced. One that gets mixed reviews because of its content but hit until the absolute final page with a final twist that is going to be devastating when it gets adapted. In This Volume: The Colleen Hoover conversation nobody is having without making it bigger than it needs to be. Why Confess and Verity are the only two five star reads in her catalog for me and what makes Verity the most interesting outlier she has ever written. The honest three out of five on Woman Down. Introducing Alice Feeney and why she deserves more attention than she is getting. The full style comparison between Alice Feeney and Freida McFadden so you know which one to reach for and when. Reviews of His and Hers, My Husband's Wife, Rock Paper Scissors, and Beautiful Ugly. Dear Debbie rated four out of five and absolutely unhinged in the best possible way. The Teacher rated four point five out of five and the twist that will haunt you. Plus Lucy Foley and Mary Kubica join the stack for the first time. The shelf is growing. Come see what earned its place.
