Gut Wellness by Marica
- Contributed By: Marica Gaspic Piskovic
Tell us a little something about your business...
I have noticed that we have a gap in our healthcare system in supporting people in some chronic health conditions. My focus is on persons with IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), although not fatal it does significantly impact the lives of people who do have this condition. It is the number one condition that is diagnosed by gastroenterologists. IBS is affected by food, stress, exercise, rest/sleep.. To fully manage this condition for people to be thriving, they need to understand what works in terms of food, and which are triggers, get moving regularly when it comes to exercise, as there is a strong brain/gut connection managing stress through mindset is key along with rest and sleep. My program is focused on helping individuals develop their unique program that works in their dynamic lives to thrive, reduce flare ups and reach their life’s goals.
When was your lightbulb moment?
My lightbulb moment finally came while in a crazy busy role, and the angst of wanting to do something different to focus on the what I truly loved and enjoyed. It was at a point of my professional tenure where I have run the course of working in different environments and wearing different hats. Feeling like I am coming to the end of one journey. I realized that I love engaging with people, want to enable others to take charge of their well-being and live more fulfilled lives. The thoughts manifested as a health and wellness coach which lead to it being defined more specifically focused on gut health. Something I knew quite well first hand.
What are your three words of advice?
‘While I am alive, I shall live” are the words that I have lived by which to me has depth and meaning. Life is to be enjoyed and appreciated in every step and every breath. In the companionships we keep, the dreams we hold dear, the passions that drive us. Never stop living, loving with whom you are with and what you do for all things do come to an end, so pave the road of life with your footprints that last.
