TrendingThursday with Clio Stoidis - 08.04.22

<p><em><strong>TwoSistas</strong></em> and it’s TrendingThursday with our guest, Clio Stoidis. &nbsp;Clio is a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach whose practice is specifically on gut health. &nbsp;She coaches women with IBD/chronic digestive issues to reduce their symptoms, regain renewed energy and eat without fear so they can live the life they truly desire.</p> <p>Clio is a former attorney who became a health coach. &nbsp;It was through her own journey back to health after being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in 2005. &nbsp;After more than 7 years of trial and error, she experimented with every diet out there. &nbsp;She felt as though she was on a continuous cycle of flares/no flares/flares. &nbsp;She finally managed to break free and heal through nutrition and lifestyle approaches.</p> <p>The experience with her own journey back to health of course had many twists and turns. &nbsp;As she explained, it was a long journey and she had to do the work to change the narrative.</p> <p>Food is emotional; it’s not so much about the diet. &nbsp;It’s about supplying really good nutritious food that will feed the good bacteria. &nbsp;When we are stressed, the emotional connection to food can be a barrier of our suppressed emotions.</p> <p>There are many triggers, many which are suppressed through our gut. &nbsp;When Clio was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease she began doing the inner work. &nbsp;She listened to the signs her body was giving her. &nbsp;Reconnect to your gut intuition and seek the medical advice of a specialist who can assist you in this regard.</p> <p>(<em>Clio gave such amazing advice! &nbsp;Certainly a long process to go through. &nbsp;Don’t settle for less than. &nbsp;Do the inner work; listen to the signs that you are ignoring</em>!)</p> <p>As Janis and Clio can attest to (both being certified through IIN - Institute of Integrative Nutrition), the original founder of IIN, Joshua Rosenthal once said “ . . . the body can heal itself if given half a chance . . . “</p> <p>Thank you so much Clio! &
