In this episode, I chat with Rachel Montero, a nurse practitioner and holistic gut health specialist, about the powerful connection between gut health, anxiety, and overall well-being. Rachel opens up about her own experience with gut issues and anxiety, and how it led her to move from conventional to functional medicine to better understand the mind-gut connection.

We dive into how restrictive diets can impact both the body and mind, what happens to digestion when we’re in fight-or-flight mode, and how hormonal changes can influence gut health—especially for women.

Rachel also shares some really practical tips for supporting your gut, like mindful eating, preparing foods for easier digestion, and activating the vagus nerve to calm your nervous system.

It’s a conversation packed with insights and gentle reminders for anyone who’s struggled with gut issues, health anxiety, or simply wants to feel more balanced and connected in their body.

In this episode of 'Healing Beyond Health Anxiety', I delve into the core concept of uncertainty and its profound impact on those suffering from health anxiety. I discuss the brain's natural aversion to unpredictability and how it fuels the anxiety cycle. By understanding the brain's fear response, listeners will learn practical steps to build tolerance for uncertainty, retrain their nervous system, and shift from a mindset of control to one of trust. The episode also includes a client story showing effective strategies to cope with health anxiety.

In this episode, we address the challenging and often isolating experience of living with health anxiety. Amy provides strategies to help in effectively communicate your feelings and experiences to partners, family, and friends. Emphasising the importance of compassion and understanding, the episode explores why health anxiety is often misunderstood, how it manifests, and ways to foster supportive relationships. Practical advice includes reframing reassurance, describing health anxiety as an overactive alarm system, and focusing on creating a sense of safety rather than fixing the anxiety.
