Now that I have Covid, I figure there is no better time than the present to talk about the topic of curing yourself! Getting sick is never fun. It really puts into perspective how we take being healthy for granted. As someone with a chronic illness, I understand the struggle to remain healthy in the face of it all, which is why in today’s episode I discuss how living authentically can cure chronic illness. Whether it is Hashimoto’s, PCOS, or IBS, 50% of your lifestyle is responsible for the outcome of your symptoms. Over the next 45 minutes, I share with you why you need to tackle chronic stress, focus on authentic alignment, and introduce nutrition that nourishes and heals you.    Connect with me: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@beckyrashidifard?   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beckyrashidifard/  LinkedIn: https://linktr.ee/beckyrashidifard 

I've had a number of clients ask me about blood glucose levels and how to regulate them, and that’s because it has skyrocketed in popularity online. The downside to this is the immense amount of misinformation out there which is not only annoying but harmful and confusing. In this episode I am telling you everything you need to know about blood glucose levels, the importance of nutrition, and three ways to manage your blood sugar. I also update you on my pregnancy, dealing with weight gain, and how my fashion has changed since getting pregnant.  Connect with me: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@beckyrashidifard?   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beckyrashidifard/  LinkedIn: https://linktr.ee/beckyrashidifard 

It’s important to really understand the concept of mentorship in the health sphere because the right mentor will make and break you. There are a million coaches, dieticians, nutritionists, and health coaches out there and not all of them will be for you. In fact, 95% of them will not be for you, and I know this from experience because I’ve gone through 30 practitioners myself, and made the mistake of really hiring all the wrong people. To illustrate this idea further, in this episode I discuss who you should hire to help you with your nutrition goals, breaking down the idea of the black-or-white continuum and how to commit to embracing healthy habits.  Connect with me: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@beckyrashidifard?   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beckyrashidifard/  LinkedIn: https://linktr.ee/beckyrashidifard 

For the last three and a half months I feel as if someone blew my candle out. I  had no motivation, no hope, and no desire to do anything, and it was awful. But my suffering is finally over, my candle has been relit and the old Becky is back! I never thought this would happen, but I feel back to my normal self and I am so grateful. My depression was intense during my first trimester, a cycle of hopelessness and no energy which made it really tricky for me to navigate. During this episode, I share more about my experience with prenatal depression and five tips I wish I could have shared with my past self during this time period.    Connect with me: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@beckyrashidifard?   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beckyrashidifard/  LinkedIn: https://linktr.ee/beckyrashidifard 

Finally revealing my pregnancy has been such a big relief because I can be honest about what I'm doing and what I'm struggling with during my pregnancy. Currently, I am in my second trimester and I am still dealing with lots of symptoms, and although I am not feeling 100%, I am trying my best especially as my body grows and changes. One aspect of my pregnancy that has been really interesting for me to dive into is in health, nutrition, and lifestyle. It has felt so empowering to me! During this episode, I share more about my experiences with nutrition and diet while navigating and learning more about weight gain during pregnancy.  Connect with me: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@beckyrashidifard?   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beckyrashidifard/  LinkedIn: https://linktr.ee/beckyrashidifard 

I cannot tell you how excited I am to finally share the best announcement ever - I am pregnant! I have been fantasizing about this day for two months now, and despite the horrible first trimester I had, being pregnant has been a dream come true. In today’s episode, I share with you everything that went into planning the pregnancy, how I prepared for conception, dealing with having people ask me when I would have children and how my own views changed on motherhood, and finally dealing with IBS and pregnancy.  Connect with me: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@beckyrashidifard?   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beckyrashidifard/  LinkedIn: https://linktr.ee/beckyrashidifard 

I am so excited for today’s episode of Luxury IBS, because I am doing a deep dive into this topic to give you tangible examples on the power of energy and magnetism of healing. This isn’t something that a lot of dietitians talk about, but I am so interested in this topic. People will tell you about how relationships, health, and money all have the same energy to them, and when you have one issue in this area it probably impacts the rest of it. During this episode, I share my own experience with this concept, in particular how TikTok has really shifted the way I see my own health and relationships. I talk about my TikTok journey growing and then losing my followers, how sometimes when you push harder for something to work the more it starts to work against you, when you need to use your feminine and masculine energy, and my own experience with human design and how I am using it in my day to day life.      Work with Me: https://linktr.ee/beckyrashidifard

Today’s episode is inspired by a DM I received a few weeks ago from a new mom who feels like Adderall has become a crutch for her while she keeps up with the demands of having a newborn. I have been noticing that a lot of my clients have used Adderall in the past and some still use it today. I myself have used Adderall before, and I think it’s a topic that isn’t really discussed in depth. During the episode, I share my own experience with Adderall, how it impacted my IBS and life, the impact of Adderall on your neurotransmitters and digestive system, and seven ways you can rebalance your body if you’ve been a long-time user of Adderall.  Connect with me: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@beckyrashidifard?   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beckyrashidifard/  LinkedIn: https://linktr.ee/beckyrashidifard
