Shownotes

Is your mind limiting your ability to heal your gut? Learn how to gently rewire your mind-body connection and heal your gut-brain axis.

Have you ever heard that your mind can effect the health of your body, but you haven't known what to do about it to heal?

Or - have you tried specific mind-body exercises to try and heal your body (or mind!), and have felt you haven't gotten full results from it?

Are you discouraged with the state of your health, and feel that your mind or nervous system regulation may be part of what's blocking you from healing, but it feels overwhelming to even start to think about how to regulate your nervous system?

If you said yes to ANY of these questions, then this episode is for you!

In today's episode, we're continuing with part 2 of our Gut-Brain Axis series with my friend, colleague, and expert NeuroLinguistic Practitioner, Sophie Shepherd.

Sophie Shepherd is the founder of SHE Talks Health & the creator of the SHE Talks Health Podcast. Sophie is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and NLP Certified Life Coach who helps women optimize their thyroid so they can have incredible energy, fit in their clothes, and feel at home in their body again using the Thriving Thyroid Method. Using a combination of root cause functional lab testing, subconscious mindset work, and diet and lifestyle science, Sophie and her team partner with you to create a holistic approach to bringing your body and mind back into balance. Her mission is to revolutionize the way women reclaim their health and slay old stories of being in sick bodies.

Today, Sophie is going to break down what NeuroLinguistic Programing is (or NLP) and how you can use it to gently and effectively start to rewire your mind so you can heal your gut-brain axis and improve your overall health.

Whether you are totally new to NLP or you're a pro, I hope this episode encourages you, guides you, and gives you hope for how you CAN heal your body - and how you can harness your mind to help you do so faster and more effectively than ever.
