#62 Breast Implant Illness with Sarah Phillpe BSN,FDN-P
Sarah has a passion for restoring health that has taken her along a path from a practicing RN, to walking away from her conventional nursing career to become a certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Nutrition®, and Breast Implant Illness and Detox Expert. She believes the solution to Reversing Breast Implant illness is about more than just the explant and that we all need to take personal responsibility for restoring our health by addressing the root causes that contribute to chronic illness: toxicity, infections, and traumas. Sarah’s “pain to purpose” is using her personal experience along with her understanding about the body to guide women through the sea of mis-information about Breast Implant Illness in hopes of finding their path to true and lasting healing.Sarah was once quite happy and comfortable living the conventional life, but she began to look at things very differently when her body started failing her after getting breast implants. Within about six months of getting breast implants, Sarah began to see her once perfect health steadily decline. She began experiencing a myriad of symptoms which no doctor could explain. Noone understood what Sarah was going through. She felt completely alone in this invisible illness because on the outside she looked fine. On the inside, the discomfort of living inside her own body was maddening.Sarah soon realized she was looking in the wrong places, for the wrong things. If she wanted to fix her broken body, she had to stop looking to treat the symptoms; she had to start looking for a cause. It was time to take her health into her own hands and find real answers. She discovered that the root cause was literally inside of her.Sarah believes there is always a greater purpose within our struggles, and she believes that purpose for her was to learn how to heal her own body so she could then help other women like her do the same. It is Sarah’s belief that the body has an innate desire to heal if given what it needs and she focuses on teaching natural healing principles. Sarah will teach you how to Reverse Breast Implant Illness, take back your health, and live vibrantly!Connect with SarahWant to open up pathways? Try Castor oil packs!

In this episode we will talk all about weight loss and the relation to hormones. Its going to suprise you that its not just as easy as talking hormones and then you start losing weight! I wish! Alot of factors come into play. *Hormones: We will discuss the roll of each hormone in relation to weight loss and why imbalances may be slowing your progress.*Your toxic load: Toxins will cause the body to store fat as a way of creating protection for our cells. If not properly detoxed prior to losing weight, this can lead to rebound weight gain.*Cortisol and stress. Stress causes a rise in cortisol, elevated cortisol causes upregulated inflammatory cytokines that will cause you to be desensitized  to insulin resulting in insulin resistance and more fat storage. When cortisol goes up we inhibit GNRH( with helps produce our hormones) and Growth hormone. So if stress and cortisol aren’t managed you will struggle to lose weight!Nutritional deficiencies. There are many missing nutrients that can further aide in insulin resistance these must be fixed first in order to improve insulin resistance The gut. If you have an unhealthy gut this can lead to the release of LPS a very toxic chemical into the body, and will inhibit weight loss.

#46 Want balanced hormones? Start here
In this episode I reveal the top reasons why you may have imbalanced hormones. Even with hormone replacement therapy we must take care of these underlying aspects of our lives in order to feel our best Stress: We know the negative impacts of stress on the body. Not to mention 80% of DHEA and 25% of Testosterone is made in women's adrenal glands. Stress can disrupt the HPA axis and throw off production of hormones . My favorite stress management pack Toxins: If you want balanced hormones you must look at your lifestyle. Removing inflammatory foods and toxins from your life is vital. Endocrine disrupting chemicals can mimic hormones or block their production. They hide in our food, household products and skincare. Our skin is our largest organ and is very vulnerable to what we put on it. My favorite line of non hormone disrupting skincare is Hugh and Grace. Not only does it work, but its non toxic and feels super luxurious when you apply, Treat your skin this holiday season! Your hormones will thank you.At a little bit TIPsy you know we love our wine.
