Listen To Your Gut

Healing your body by listening to your gut

In this fascinating interview with Jini Patel Thompson, founder of Listen to Your Gut and author of multiple books, host Vai Kumar uncovers lots of impactful information about Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn’s, Colitis, Diverticulitis, and IBS).

A very personal topic to both guest and host, this episode takes listeners through a multi-pronged approach to finding a balance and restoring the body’s equilibrium. Listening to one’s own body, intuition, tapping into our body’s defences and healing capabilities, are all great reminders from this chat.

In this podcast, health coach and yoga teacher Cate Stillman interviews me after she discovered my work during a search for help with scar tissue protocols and adhesions. So a lot of the podcast is us discussing my protocols for reducing or dissolving scar tissue, and why surgery is not usually the solution. But we also get into my personal journey, elemental diets, and how symptoms are actually messages from our subconscious, or higher self.

Ready to see RESULTS in your healing journey? Dane Johnson and I have a lively discussion on the deeper healing of Crohn's, IBS, SIBO, diverticulitis, colitis - or ANY long-term chronic illness! Dane calls me the Top G of IBD , which leads us to a funny little detour into Andrew Tate.* Then we do a real deep-dive into the mental, emotional, and spiritual components of dis-ease, and how to go to the next level in your healing journey. You can either watch the video, or listen to this as an audio below, or on your favorite podcast platform . "When you're dealing with a chronic illness, you are in the unique position of having the opportunity to transform and alchemize the experience into something much greater, with tremendous benefits to you." - Jini Patel Thompson Dane himself was very resistant to go into this aspect of healing; he talks about where he came from and what it took for him to finally be willing to walk this path that is absolutely crucial for long-term, complete healing. I hope you enjoy this conversation on the gifts of chronic illness as much as we did! And please feel free to share your story and any milestones in your healing journey below... *p.s. When I say that I see the role Andrew Tate is playing for young men and how it has value, I'm referring to his more recent persona as someone who encourages hard work, discipline, business education, physical fitness, and taking care of the body. I'm certainly not referring to his early macho persona of using and manipulating women.

Join me for a deep dive into food and intuition with professional chef and food/health intuitive, Gail Blair . Gail tells us how she developed her abilities, and how you can work with muscle testing to assist your intuition. And then we get into discussing food allergy testing accuracy and reliability. Have you ever thought about how ancestral patterns (genetics) or past lives might be affecting your health or food allergies? If you have food allergies, intolerances, or any kind of gut disorder, this episode is guaranteed to make you think, and possibly even enlighten you!

Join me in this video as I speak with Dr. Roy & Debbie Steinbock on the challenges and solutions for elemental diet success. Roy & Debbie have been prescribing and supporting thousands of clients through an elemental diet for over 15 years. They have tons of experience dealing with all the challenges people face and supporting them through the process.

*Coupon valid until April 15, 2023 My biggest takeaway from this call is learning that Debbie and Roy start people on anti-microbials (like wild oregano, olive leaf) one to two weeks before starting an elemental diet. This way, they can go through the die-off effect (Herxheimer) in stages and not confuse the die-off/detox with the elemental formula, or attribute their symptoms to intolerance of the shakes. Brilliant! If you've considered going on an elemental diet for SIBO, food allergies, IBD etc. then this discussion will give you some great guidelines to follow. We start by discussing what's happening with children's health; why are they sicker and diagnosed with so many formerly-adult diseases? And why are gut disorders getting harder to treat and taking longer to heal? Debbie and Roy outline what kind of clients benefit from doing an elemental diet, and for how long. They also go over the difficulties people encounter when they go on an exclusively elemental diet; both physical and mental/emotional. And how they support people through this process. I ask them if they have seen the same kind of success when people do a half elemental diet, or combine it with low residue foods? And then the Steinbocks tell us about their own personal experience with using an elemental diet for their own health. Listen as a podcast, or watch the video. Any questions, just post them in the Comments section below.

We had some GREAT questions come in from a member of my Lazer Tapping program (mind/body/spirit self-healing technique) and I just had to record a video reply!

Why Did I Manifest This Disease?

The question reads: "What kind of support can be offered specifically around diving into & processing the emotional baggage behind the crohn’s and the gut? What support is available for guidance on getting deeper into the emotions in the gut & the meaning behind having manifested this disease?" If you prefer to listen to this as a podcast, scroll down, or access on your favorite podcast platform . I love the way she has already grokked the distinction of this particular disease . Because anyone familiar with the work of Louise Hay (looking at the metaphysical causes for physical illness/malfunction) already knows that where & what in the body is an important part of the message your higher self is sending you, via your physical body.

Map your pathology

As I say in the video, grab your journal and go through these questions. It doesn't matter which health issue you have (why did I manifest this disease?), the exploration process is the same: 1/ What's bugging you? When you look at your life, what do you wish could be different? - job, living situation, daily life What's not working for YOU? What does your soul wish was different? 2/ When you look back on your childhood - go back to in utero if you can - feel into what was happening, imagine how you might have felt? Go through every childhood memory, write them down (bullet points are good). Go through your whole life to date. 3/ AFTER you've made that list, let it sit there for a few days, then come back and see where the common points are... Was there a recurring emotion? Did the same emotional state keep showing up? What themes do you notice? Any traits, patterns, or beliefs that occurred repeatedly? 4/ Use your favorite technique to connect to your body, feel for what's there... It feels___________. Breathe. What wants to come forward today? What's ready to be dealt with today? You can do this as a DAILY Practice. If you need help, check out my Guided Connection: Place Your Consciousness Inside Your Body 5/ Become mindful of your daily life. How do I respond to events throughout my day? When do I become stressed? Notice the FIRST sign of stress - develop your sensitivity to catch it when it first starts. Notice which people, situations, relationships trigger you. It's not what happens to you, it's how you respond. Become your own detective; notice what triggers you, and why? 6/ Notice what parts of your body feel painful. Start tapping on just the physical pain. FEEL into the pain and describe it; burning, throbbing, sharp, dull, aching, stabbing, sore etc. Give your pain permission to exist. Follow the pain if it moves around your body; if you become aware of new places that feel painful, tap on each new occurrence. If you haven't tried Lazer Tapping yet, come do a Free session with me . I encourage you to actually WRITE DOWN your answers to these questions and create a roadmap for your healing journey. Remember, the journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step. Once you have the answers, you can use whichever mind/body/spirit healing modality you prefer: Lazer Tapping, hypnotherapy, craniosacral, somatic experiencing, etc.
