Beautiful tins of sardines lined the shelves all over Portugal, from little markets to specialty shops. Fresh sardines weren’t in season during our visit, so we didn’t get the chance to try them grilled the traditional way, but we did have an amazing canned version in a flavorful tomato sauce that was delicious!

And nutritionally, sardines are seriously underrated. Sardines are one of the best natural sources of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA. What makes sardines especially interesting for gut health is their anti-inflammatory profile and nutrient density. Chronic gut inflammation can negatively impact the microbiome, and omega-3-rich foods help support a healthier intestinal environment. Sardines also provide vitamin D, selenium, calcium, and high-quality protein which are all nutrients involved in immune function and gut integrity.

Another benefit: because sardines are small cold-water fish low on the food chain, they tend to accumulate significantly fewer heavy metals like mercury compared to larger fish such as tuna. That makes them a safer and more sustainable seafood option for regular consumption.
Tiny fish. Massive nutritional payoff. 🐟

A healthy gut microbiome isn’t built through restriction, detoxes, or chasing the latest wellness trend. It’s created through diversity, resilience, and proper digestive function.

When I assess gut health through a functional nutrition lens, I’m looking at a few key things:

✔️ Microbial diversity — a wide variety of beneficial bacteria and short chain fatty acids that support immunity, metabolism, hormone balance, and mood.

✔️ Resilience — the ability of the gut ecosystem to adapt and recover from stress, illness, antibiotics, travel, or dietary changes without major dysfunction.

✔️ Strong digestive function — because even the healthiest foods can’t nourish you if you’re not properly breaking down and absorbing nutrients.

✔️ Low inflammation and minimal intestinal permeability. Your gut lining should act as a selective barrier, not a leaky filter triggering immune activation and chronic symptoms.

A thriving gut microbiome impacts far more than digestion. It influences energy, skin health, mental clarity, immune regulation, cravings, hormones, and long-term disease risk.

The truth is: symptoms are often signals, not random inconveniences.

Bloating, fatigue, constipation, loose stools, reflux, food sensitivities, skin breakouts, brain fog, and chronic inflammation are your body communicating that something deeper may need support.

Healing the gut isn’t about perfection. It’s about creating an internal environment where the body can function the way it was designed to.

If you’re ready to stop guessing and start understanding what your body is actually telling you, let’s connect. Your gut health may be the missing piece.

Norovirus is often called the "stomach flu", and it doesn’t always leave quietly.
Research shows acute GI infections can disrupt the gut microbiome, damage the gut lining, increase inflammation, and trigger lingering symptoms like:
❌️ Bloating
❌️ Food sensitivities
❌️ IBS-like symptoms
❌️Fatigue
❌️Nausea
❌️Digestive chaos every time you eat

And no… “just take a probiotic” is not a personalized healing plan.

As The Gut Goddess, I help my clients restore balance, calm inflammation, repair digestion, and actually get back to living their lives without being afraid of every meal.

Because surviving norovirus is one thing.
Recovering your gut afterward?
That’s where the real work begins.

Gastritis is the inflammation of the stomach lining and often a signal that something deeper needs healing.

That burning sensation.
That nausea.
That discomfort after eating.
Your body is asking for support.
When we listen instead of suppressing, we can uncover deeper issues such as:
🔥 Gut infections
🔥 Chronic inflammation
🔥Nutrient deficiencies
🔥 Stress overload
🔥Digestive dysfunction

As The Gut Goddess, my mission is to help people reconnect with the wisdom of their bodies while using functional nutrition and scientific strategies to support healing from the inside out.

If you're ready to stop masking symptoms and start understanding your gut, comment GASTRITIS.

Yesterday's Called to Care event with Hope for the Heart was a beautiful reminder of God's love and grace. The very things we have walked through often become the bridge that allows us to encourage and serve someone else.
May we never underestimate the power of caring for one another. Sometimes, the most Christ-like thing we can do is show up, listen, and love.

Ashley Turner Howell, I love you dearly and am so thankful for the many years of friendship we've shared. Thank you for inviting me to experience such a meaningful event alongside you.

✨ Feed Your Gut's Protective Shield ✨

One of the most overlooked components of gut healing is the mucosal layer—the protective coating that lines your digestive tract. Think of it as your gut's first line of defense, helping protect against pathogens, toxins, food particles, and inflammation.

Foods rich in mucilage, a gel-like soluble fiber, help nourish and support this important barrier. Some of my favorites include:

🌱 Aloe vera juice
🥝 Kiwi
🌾 Flax seeds
💧 Chia seeds
🌿 Okra

These foods absorb water and create a soothing, protective gel that can support gut lining integrity, feed beneficial microbes, and promote healthy bowel movements.

Mucilage-rich foods may be especially helpful for individuals struggling with:
✔️ Acid reflux
✔️ Gastritis
✔️ IBS
✔️ Constipation
✔️ Leaky gut
✔️ Inflammatory bowel conditions

Food truly is information for the body. The right foods can help create an environment where healing is possible.

As a Functional Nutritionist, Gut Health Practitioner, and Functional Medicine Health Coach, I help people use food as medicine while creating realistic lifestyle changes that support lasting results.

As a Dietitian, I wasn't taught enough about bioindividuality. I wasn't taught to deeply investigate why two people eating the same foods can have completely different outcomes. I certainly wasn't taught to look at genetics, gut health, nutrient status, stress, lifestyle, and environment as interconnected pieces of the same puzzle. So, I decided to become a Functional Nutritionist and Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach.

I believe people deserve more than symptom management. They deserve partnership. They deserve to be heard. They deserve a practitioner who is willing to ask better questions and look deeper.This is why I use genetics, gut microbiome testing, micronutrient analysis, and various comprehensive lab testing, but the testing is only part of it.
There is also so much value that comes from taking the time to understand the person behind the symptoms.
Because no two bodies are the same, and no two healing journeys should be either.

If you've been told everything looks "normal," but you still don't feel well or aren't where you'd like to be with your health, know that your symptoms matter. Your symptoms are communication. Let's figure out what your body is trying to say and put together a plan that makes sense for you.

Allll of those food sensitivities that you have aren't the real problem. 🫠

There is no one "perfect" diet. A disrupted gut microbiome will react to tons of foods. It's not a one size fits all. The issue is not the food. It's about the function. I can help you figure it out, and I work with people all over the world. 🙌
