Our guest, Carolina McFarland is a Health and Wellness Consultant and Coach. She has been in the field of functional medicine lifestyle for twenty years. She was in Corporate America before that. She has always been health conscious, but she used to have many health issues. The top health professionals could not help her gut disorders, brain fog, fatigue, and lethargy. But someone told her she should try getting a food sensitivity test and micronutrient testing. This revealed to her that she had a severe reaction to grain. She eliminated all the foods she was sensitive to and learned new foods to eat. Quickly, all her energy came back. She slept well. The GI symptoms and brain fog went away. This set her on a journey to train in massage therapy, and specialized training in Cranial sacral working with the nervous system. She felt the Lord calling her to know Him in the deepest way by pursuing knowing more about the body. She became a consultant and coach.
All health begins in the gut. If you can’t break down your food properly, then it will lead to inflammation throughout your body. If we are eating foods that trigger our immune system, then this will even influence our brain and interfere with us making choices, and handling the circumstances in our lives. Microbiomes become imbalanced if we eat unhealthily and this affects our whole body. What we eat has a direct influence on our courage and how we make decisions.
Brain and gut are intrinsically linked. Long-term antibiotics create an overabundance of yeast (candida) in our digestion which relates to GI symptoms. We are all unique. So we should get individual help to see how we should eat to have a healthy body, rather than go on the recent most popular diet.
Our body is mostly water (80%), including the brain, so we need a lot of hydration so all the systems work properly. Sugar has many forms. We all metabolize sugar at different rates. Sugar alters our brain chemistry. If our glucose level spikes we can get brain fog.
Know your body type. For example, not everyone has a body that will do well as a vegan. Many bodies need red meat. Other people do well on a vegetarian diet. Digestion starts in the mind, then the mouth.
There are three primary things that help us to be healthy:
1. Self-awareness – Know our bodies
2. Self-regulation – What can we do to bring ourselves back into balance?
3. Self-agency – Decisions we make about our health that will put us in alignment with God’s Spirit.
