Have you ever tried to travel with food sensitivities, and it was so hard to eat within your guidelines that you simply gave up (or just couldn't find a way to do it)?

For me, I'm gluten free, dairy free, and grain free — or I know that one wrong restaurant choice means bloating, constipation, acid reflux, or feeling totally wrecked for the next 2-7 days.

Suddenly a trip that’s supposed to be fun becomes a game of, “What can I actually eat?”

If you’ve ever Googled things like gluten free travel tips, dairy free travel tips, healthy travel snacks, traveling with food restrictions, or even how to avoid bloating while traveling — this episode is for you.

Traveling with food sensitivities does not have to be stressful. You don’t need to simply eat less and feel hungry all the time. And you absolutely do not need to spend your whole vacation worrying about where the next meal is coming from.

Today, I’m sharing my 5 best tips for traveling with food sensitivities — the exact strategies I use as someone who eats gluten free, dairy free, mostly grain free, AND still wants to enjoy good food, feel amazing, and not get stuck with bloating or symptoms the whole trip.

We’re going to talk:

• What foods to pack (and why your purse is basically your emergency blood-sugar kit)
• How to pick restaurants when you’re gluten free, dairy free, or avoiding sauces, breading, or mystery oils
• Which cuisines are secretly the easiest to eat out with food sensitivities — and which ones will sabotage you fast
• How to build simple, safe travel meals so you feel good the whole trip
• And how to manage food sensitivities on vacation without being the “difficult” one in the group.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by eating out, nervous about traveling with food allergies, or tired of coming home from a trip feeling heavy, bloated, or off — this episode is for you.

Have you recently switched to a dairy-free diet and suddenly realized your old protein powder is off the table?

Or maybe you’ve heard that most conventional protein powders are loaded with fillers, artificial sweeteners, gums, and even heavy metals — and now you’re wondering what safe, clean protein powder alternatives you’re actually supposed to buy.

If you’re anything like me — or my clients — you’re probably standing in the protein aisle (or scrolling on Amazon) feeling completely overwhelmed.

There are so many options… and let’s be honest: not all of them taste great, and not all of them are good for your gut.

That’s why today, I’m breaking down the top 10 healthy, dairy-free, gluten-free, gut-friendly protein powders that my clients and I personally use and love.

I’ll walk you through:

• who each powder is best for,
• why my clients liked it,
• and what makes each one a great fit for sensitive digestion.

And make sure you stay until the end — because I’m revealing the TOP recommendations LAST.

I’ll also give you a quick summary of which protein powders to try first depending on what’s going on in your body — whether you’re dealing with candida, want the best plant-based options, or you need something for a super-sensitive gut.

As we head into the holiday season — with travel, treats, and routine changes — I hope these recommendations give you easy, delicious ways to support your gut, your energy, and your taste buds.

What makes some people heal faster than others?

And how can you use that information to speed up your own healing process?

Since healing myself in 2018, I’ve worked with hundreds of men and women — in my clinic and online — to find and fix the root causes behind their gut, skin, sinus, hormone, and autoimmune issues.

And after working with all these clients, I started asking myself: what made the difference that helps some clients heal fast, while others healed slow?

Was it random who healed quickly? Or was it from invisible, uncontrollable factors like their genes?

Turns out—it wasn’t random. And it definitely wasn’t genetics.

There were clear, repeatable habits my fastest-healing clients shared.

Today, I’m breaking down the top 3 things my most successful clients do to heal their gut FAST—so you can do the same.
