“Counseling helped me befriend my nervous system.” - Brooke Seiz Did you know we only need one teaspoon of sugar in our body at a time? During today’s episode, Dr. Robin invites Brooke Seiz to unpack why sugar can oftentimes be a culprit for anxiety. Brooke shares what inspired her to become a counselor and functional medicine practitioner for others, including her own bout with anxiety, an eating disorder, and other mental health challenges. She goes on to describe why there can often be many root causes of anxiety, but when our blood sugar levels are too high or low, our cortisol levels (stress response) get activated and we easily enter that fight or flight mode. Brooke also covers how sugar is often disguised on labels, and how fast our bodies can experience inflammation (even pain) after we consume too much sugar. By the end of the episode, she’ll provide some ways you can test if sugar may be causing problems. She’ll also provide what foods can help aid in regulating sugar levels. Grab a pen and paper – this episode is packed with helpful tips! About Today’s Guest:  Brooke Seiz with Evolve Wellness &amp; Counseling helps individuals as well as couples find a better quality of life, fulfillment in their relationships, and comfort in their body through counseling and functional nutrition. She is a licensed counselor and helps individuals as well as couples in therapy to befriend their nervous systems using Somatic Experiencing and in turn improve trauma, PTSD, anxiety, as well as binge and emotional eating. She also provides sex therapy to individuals and couples, in addition to couples' therapy. For those interested in functional nutrition, she takes a deep dive into gut, hormonal. health and more to address the root cause for their symptoms with nutrition and lifestyle interventions. Brooke is a mom of three awesome young people, and also enjoys going out to sing at local music venues with her spouse. She’s grateful to be involved with the Small Changes Big Shifts team and mission!  Mentioned in the Episode:   Connect with Brooke Seiz on LinkedIn  Evolve Wellness &amp; Counseling  Signos CGM technology – glucose monitor  Glucose Goddess on Instagram  Resistance Starch

Episode 091. "So, that work all the time productivity approach, it is very much embedded in our culture and our society. But it’s not really how our nervous system is going to operate and be healthy. So, what can we do about that?" ~Brooke Seiz OK. I’m asking you to take a leap of faith with me in this episode. Don’t worry, it’s more an easy skip rather than a broad jump over shark-infested waters.  Creative imposter syndrome begins in the gut. Wut? The gut?? Yes. I’ve got back-up on this one. Brooke Seiz, a board-certified functional nutrition practitioner, believes that an unhealthy gut not only affects our physical health but also taxes our mental well-being. Symptoms of a gut imbalance manifest in complex ailments – think leaky gut, chronic fatigue, adrenal dysfunction, IBS. Even low-grade instances of these diseases have the power to curtail our natural affinity toward play and exploration, self-expression and (managed) risk. The result is a diminished ability to work and create to our fullest potential and truest nature, the happy, healthy opposite of an imposter.  Whew. That’s a lot to digest (I couldn’t resist!) Like, what even IS functional nutrition? Brooke’s expertise and background in the arts come in handy when we’re defining functional nutrition and discussing big concepts like the parasympathetic nervous system or the microbiome.  But Brooke isn’t advocating for nutritional change only. Play is a natural component of healing, that child-like desire to engage in an activity with no structured outcome other than to have fun.  When was the last time you played at something? There’s a lot to learn from Brooke’s personal story of thwarted play, crippling stomach issues, and the realization that her authentic self was physically and emotionally impacted by her gut health.  The biggest take-away from our discussion is this: there really is something to our gut feelings and butterflies in the stomach and queasy tummies. When and how we choose to listen to these warnings could mean the difference between the impostor and our happy, healthy authentic selves.  Get the full show notes including all things Brooke Seiz at http://www.thecreativeimpostor.com/091 Join me at Podfest!
