Welcome! I'm Stephanie Mara (Pollock) Fox your Gut Therapist.
I'm here to help you communicate with your body on a whole new level. Did you know that you have a brain like system in your gut? It is called the enteric nervous system. 95% of serotonin, our happy neurotransmitter, is made in the gut. So you can imagine that the health of your gut can be indicative of the health and well being of your entire system, physically and emotionally.
We are constantly digesting: food, information, emotions, external stimuli. Nourishment can come from the food one puts into one’s body and how one is fed by one’s life. I personally define digestion and nourishment to include how the body processes information physically, emotionally, and cognitively.
Our relationship with food is a great indicator of how we relate to everything else in life.
Active Gut Therapy aims to provide nutritional guidance, education and cultivate awareness and acceptance of one’s body, cravings, and eating habits to those struggling with digestive issues, body image issues, weight and a negative or broken relationship with food and nourishment. My mission is to encourage you to be an ACTIVE participant in your own healing, easing digestion woes and finding nourishment that will work for you and only you; leaving you feeling more comfortable in your own skin and energized all day so you can go out and be an ACTIVE member in your world.
As a Nutritional Counselor and Body Psychotherapist, I have studied all the major dietary theories and will help you discover what approach works best for you and only you at this point in your life by tuning back into your internal world and listening to your body's messages.
My goal is to foster intuitive eating, stressing bio-individuality, and teaching you to trust your body's messages and cravings.
