That Gut Feeling With Guest Sandy Wesson

All Clear - A Firefighter Health & Wellness Podcast

Are you feeling exhausted, stressed, and overwhelmed as a first responder? If so, this episode of All Clear could be your lifeline. We bring on board Sandy Wesson, a skillful functional nutritional therapist with a rich background as an ICU nurse, to share her wisdom on how we can nourish our bodies despite the demanding schedules. Expect to learn new insights about the foods we eat, the significance of hydration, and the role electrolytes play in our bodies. And if you've ever wondered about the impact of gluten and dairy on your gut health, this episode is for you.
Is your brain health tied to your gut health? Explore this profound connection with us as we dive into the aftermath of head injuries. We reveal how something as common as a concussion could spark a negative feedback loop between your brain and gut, resulting in inflammation and shock. Discover how proper digestion could be your secret weapon against the harmful effects of acid reducers, and unravel the mystery behind the term 'leaky gut'. Our discussion also spotlights the vagus nerve and the microbiome - two underrated but vital players in our overall brain health.
Food is fuel, and we want to help you choose the best fuel for your body. Join us as we delve into the world of nutrition and supplementation. Come away with practical strategies for mindful eating and learn about the fundamental role your gallbladder plays in digestion. We'll also share important reminders about the power of B vitamins, vitamin D, and other supplements in supporting our mitochondria. Whether you're a seasoned first responder or new to the field, this episode is designed to equip you with the knowledge to achieve and maintain optimal health. Let's get started!
About Sandy Wesson:
My name is Sandy Wesson. I have been a Registered Nurse for 42 years. During those years, I worked in the Intensive Care Unit, as well as Hospice and Palliative Care, and other aspects of healthcare.

10 years ago, I left clinical nursing to move into the realm of Functional Wellness - becoming certified as a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and as a Certified Functional Bloodwork Specialist. My goal is to put the power of health back in the hands of my clients, rather than being dependent on doctors. I read bloodwork from a Functional Perspective – It gives me so much information about what the body needs. Together we look at the effects of thoughts, traumas, and toxins on the body, and what to do about it.

Additionally, I have been an energy healer for more than 20 years. I utilize my gifts of empathy, clairaudience, and clairsentience to tune into my clients’ vibrations. As an empath, I am finding that people have a greater need for energy healing to assist in opening their own power to heal.
