This is a very personal topic for me too because I was introduced to antibiotics at the age of two and this set me on a course for poor digestive health for years. I struggled with acne, weight imbalance, bloating, and constipation until I learned all that I’m going to share with you.

If you want to have clear, beautiful skin, better moods, an improved immune system or want to balance your weight without a lot of effort  – then you need to pay attention to your digestive health first.

“Sharon’s” Story

Let me tell you a story about one of the girls from my book, let’s call her “Sharon”.

Sharon is a hard-working, self-employed businesswoman who is recently married and has a lot going on. She was telling me about a recent visit with her family where she was so uncomfortable and couldn’t go to the bathroom for several days in a row. It wasn’t until we talked that she realized what a big problem this was for her.

She had just accepted it as her “normal”.

“I’ve never really had regular pooping habits. Pooping has always been something I thought of as a necessary evil in life and I would have actually preferred to do it as little as possible.

It was only when I started working with Brianna that I began to understand just how important and amazing this bodily function is.

I am now pooping more regularly and feeling great about it. I think that’s the biggest thing for me is recognizing when your body is healthy and taking steps to continue building that health.”

Why is elimination important?

• It’s the main way our body removes waste, fat, and toxins
• It’s an indicator of other health factors like the health of our vital organs and our hormones
• It balances our weight and increases our energy when are regular
• Elimination and digestion should be the first thing addressed when talking about health.

1 – 3 times a day depending on your constitution. 1, bare minimum, 2 is ideal. No more than 3 times a day unless you’re on a cleanse or detox system.
