Does the food you eat really affect your health?
I don’t know if people are in denial or they simply don’t want to know how much food really does affect them…but I will tell you right now, up front, yes, food does in fact affect your health…and in very dramatic ways. And it is our role as moms to teach our children…to lead them in creating healthy habits.
To help them understand the relationship…the connection between the foods they eat and the health of their body… the connection between the foods they eat and how they feel.
So this is my little message to you, mamas! My encouragement to you to keep on leading your family in healthy habits because it will have a lifetime of repercussions…and even generational repercussions!
One of the biggest things for us is to understand that the way we are feeling is NOT the way we ought to be feeling. I didn’t realize that I wasn’t supposed to be feeling bloated and gassy and uncomfortable all the time. Listen, Indigestion, bloating, cramping….you name it…these are sooo so common in the general American public….and it is not supposed to be part of the normal everyday human experience.
It’s due to a lot of things….but one of the biggest culprits is the foods that we are eating.
Sooo, if we can teach our kids while they are young that there is, in fact, a direct relationship between what we eat and how we feel – our overall health, they will be better off over the long haul.
Gut health is SO important!!

Do you think much about your liver? Maybe after listening to this episode, you will!
Not to scare you, but…Liver disease is a serious problem that affects millions of people in the United States each year. The American Liver Foundation reports that more than 100 million Americans have some form of liver disease, and it’s among the leading causes of death in the U.S.
Sooo, what is the liver? What does it do?
The liver is our largest internal organ (the skin is our largest organ!) It’s about the size of a football! Isn't that crazy?! So our liver does the heavy lifting when it comes to detoxing.
Now detox seems to be the buzz word now, so we’re going to talk about why. And it all goes back to the liver.

Shawna Rauch vulnerably shares her experience of her pregnancy of her baby with Potter's Syndrome. This is an encouragement to all moms who just found out your baby has Potter's Syndrome or you have a friend who has a baby with Potter's Syndrome.
Potter's Syndrome is a rare disorder where the kidneys fail to develop properly as the baby is growing in the womb. The kidneys normally produce the amniotic fluid (as urine). With lack of kidneys and amniotic fluid, this condition is life-threatening for the baby and many infants have a short life expectancy.
Shawna Rauch takes us on her journey of her pregnancy and birth of her precious baby with Potter's Syndrome. She delivers hope and guidance for what can you expect if you receive the same diagnosis.
Shawna Rauch is a committed wife and mother of three. When she received the devastating news that her first baby had Potter's Syndrome, a condition incompatible with life. She was frustrated by the lack of personal stories and confusing medical jargon online. Determined to fill the need, she created HopeAngel.org just 13 days after her daughter was born, which has since touched the lives of thousands of families around the world.
As a pregnancy and grief coach, Shawna's goal is to support, inform and empower mothers through their pregnancy, birth, and beyond. She has created a community where mothers can talk through their experiences and provide emotional support to one another during times of loss and grief.

Do you understand what an autoimmune disease even is? And how to heal it?
