We welcome the amazing Kate DeCosta back to the show! You can check out Episode 3 if you missed her the first time around.

Kate struggled with major health issues for years and years, and nobody could figure out the cause. These ranged from digestive issues to being incorrectly being diagnosed as bipolar for 10 years. So Kate took charge and did a lot of research for years to discover that the issues stemmed from food sensitivities. 


Not only is she now thriving, but she is helping others do the same (including yours truly) through her health coaching service, Integrate with Kate.


And not only that, Kate has just published her eBook, Gut Feelings. 

We talk about elimination diets, food allergies, intolerances, and food sensitivities. We also discuss the connection between gut health and brain health.

Finally, we talk about Kate's amazing coaching business, Integrate With Kate as well as her Reiki practice.

 

This episode is dedicated to 22 Too Many Veteran:

Courtney Rush

“SSgt Courtney Jo Rush, USAF, was my only daughter. I miss her so much. My life has been forever changed, but I try every day to focus on something positive. God has a plan. I believe that. Courtney’s death isn’t the “norm” when it comes to military suicide, or any suicide from what I’ve read. She was a smaller percent who showed no signs of PTSD. Courtney was a beautiful, successful, happy, disciplined, funny, head strong, stubborn, and motivated person.” – Gail Rush

Courtney was a crew chief for C-130’s and C-17’s. On her last deployment in Qatar, she was involved in assisting with the transport of the caskets of fallen veterans, an emotionally moving and high honor duty that she took very seriously.

Courtney and her mother, Gail, ran races together.

Their last run was “Run the Runway” at Joint Base Charleston. Gail has organized a 5k in Courtney’s memory and in memory of all veterans lost to suicide.
