   23. Gut Health & Mental Health w/ Integrative Nutritionist, MS, CS, RD, Miriam Jacobson

   Ooooo, very-special-episode-alert! Today’s guest expert human is Miriam Jacobson (She/Her), an integrative nutritionist who uses functional medicine to help people resolve underlying reasons for their 'mystery symptoms' like indigestion, bloating, bowel abnormalities, fatigue, low energy levels and irritability. [Don’t know what “integrative nutritionist” or “functional medicine” mean? Don’t worry, neither did I…we cover it in this episode!] She's smart, dedicated (aka 2 degrees! 3 certifications!) and easy to talk to (has a v. California millennial sound) and SO helpful. Across a mildly-decent-internet connection, we cover: why gut health affects our mental health, alien invaders in our digestive system, probiotics vs prebiotics, accidentally suggestive 90’s kids toys called “water snakes,” the dirty dozen and clean 15, science’s verdict on food trends like cutting calories, juicing, and gluten-free everything; the best diets for people prone to depression or anxiety, are carbs bad??, WTF is keto?, and every rapid fire question y’all could think of. Here's that special link for Miriam's Food Foundations online course (http://www.everybodybliss.com/food-foundations?ref=https%3A%2F%2Feverybodybliss.mykajabi.com%2Fa%2F16831%2FvzPFwhRg)! ____________________ So, call me when you get this?

   21. Having a lowkey existential crisis? Here's why & what to do about it.

   Is mercury in gatorade? Why did I seriously consider learning that viral (omg pun inception) coronavirus dance on TikTok? Why am I so irritable? Why am I reevaluating every single one of my life choices right now? It’s not you, it’s your brain on stress—and a very special kind of socially-triggered stress. In this 15 min voicemail, I breakdown the science behind: >> Why you’re suddenly itching for change, irritated, and questioning all your life / career choices >> What’s happening in your brain and how it’s tied to the 24/7 negative news cycle >> What to do if you’re melting down inside or overwhelmed (but trying to play it cool) >> Examples of healthy + unhealthy ways of handling this stress (hey thx psychology research!) While I wait for you to have a long enough work break to listen to this thing, tell me flavor of life meltdown you’re having this week’s—either leave me a voicemail at 510) 394-2104—or drop me a DM/comment on Instagram @alexisrockley. [P.S. My meltdown included hating my closet, fantasizing about relocating, beating myself up over productivity, and falling asleep at 7:30pm two nights this week. Nobody's perfect, but we're in this together!] So…Call me when you get this? _____________________________________ If you liked this episode, please subscribe, rate (with all the stars), or leave a review wherever you're listening to this – so I can “call” more humans with my trademarked brand of aggressive kindness.

Check out my book-baby, Find Your F*ckyeah: Stop Censoring Who You Are and Discover What You Really Want, anywhere books are sold—hardcover, audiobook (I'm the narrator!) and e-book, too.

Maybe you want to pivot careers, launch a business, start a non-profit, quit life and travel the world...but have NO idea how you'll find the money, time, support, or resources to make this thing happen? I get it—and I've been there. You don't need more generic, good vibe-y (but totally un-researched) advice from self-proclaimed "experts" telling you to "pursue your passion," "learn to prioritize," or "practice self-care." You're not lazy, distracted, or lost. You just need help getting out of your own way. You need goal-setting strategies rooted in psychology, accountability, and aggressive cheerleading. In other words: Me. I can help. Did you know I'm a Career Coach + Biz Mentor for people who don't believe in careers—or coaching? Surprise! “Get Out of Your Own Way” (https://www.alexisrockley.com/get-out-of-your-own-way-mentorship) is a 6-month, 1:1 mentorship program for motivated creatives who are ready to stop hesitating and start making their big, crazy, impossible goals into reality.
