MY HEALTH JOURNEY | Mental Health, Gut Health & Breast Implant Illness

[@AliciaGarcia-il8cg]

Please do “what I eat in a day” videos for meal inspiration !! So happy you feel so much better

[@naylam861]

Gut health is directly linked to mental health since a lot of components made for some of our hormones and chemicals are made in our gut! Being someone diagnosed with Crohn's disease, that has been my biggest challenge.

[@dawnspence6024]

Would love to see a weekly food shop / what you eat in a day / meal ideas for gut healing! So interesting! 😍 Also your house is going to be beautiful! Love the wallpapers 😍

[@graceb6688]

Thank you so much for opening up about this. I’ve felt so alone lately in regards to dealing with bad gut health. I’m only 23 and my anxiety and depression have caused me to have IBS, chronic fatigue and allergies. I often feel like a useless person on a daily basis because I never feel normal. Watching your video has given me hope 💗

[@KianaMonique]

I relate to this so much! “On a daily basis bc I never feel normal” it’s so hard some days. Hang in there ❤️.

[@georgelopez9517]

Sorry that your going through all of that! I highly recommend seeing a really good functional medicine doctor. They look for the root cause of your symptoms instead of just suppressing your symptoms with meds. They definitely offer better treatments for chronic diseases even ibs in my opinion. Hope you feel better soon!!

Robin you are such a light in the complex and fake social media world. We appreciate your honesty and openness 💕💕

[@AshleyReinaFit]

So...are we gonna see WHAT I EAT IN A DAY VIDEOS regularly now? 💕

[@Robin.Francis]

I’ll do a what I eat in a day soon, and I’ll try to show as many meals as possible in vlogs otherwise ❤️❤️

[@haleighgordon2173]

It’s nice to hear a fitness influencer and just another person talk about these kinds of issues! I discovered within the last two years that I have celiacs disease and it causes a lot of the same issues you got from your implants, especially the brain fog and the healing process is not easy especially at first but I feel sooooo much better now! And it’s really helped me become more conscious of the foods I put into my body and forced me to learn how to Cook more which is wonderful :)

[@Lovereems]

This is way off topic but I met you at body power expo in 2016... I won't lie at that point I wasn't fully immersed in the gymshark family, so I wasn't aware of who you were. When I met you, you were unbelievably kind & sweet. You were the nicest person I'd met & I had to follow you when I got back. I feel like because you suffered with anxiety, you really put me at ease because I have social anxiety quite badly. Such a nice experience ❤️

[@harrooph.9914]

Exactly the video I needed! I’ve been struggling so much lately with gut problems and bloating that started when I was 20. Absolutely horrible, but it’s great to see how you managed it and that it’s possible to!

[@Elizabeth-jv6pz]

So happy to find a fitness creator who had my body type!

[@Emma050993]

Just made sure to mention to your decorator that you're wanting wallpaper in a bathroom, there may be some special wallpaper paste they can order/use depending on the paper you choose. Wallpaper tends to peel off in bathrooms due to the moisture in the air. I'm an interior designer so have seen many people make this mistake, hope this helps x

[@paigeg2667]

Thanks for sharing this! I've been working with a registered dietitian to address the same issues. I was so surprised that the symptoms I was having, which were similar to yours, could be caused by my diet. I'm on week three of working with the dietician and most of my symptoms have resolved! Keep it up! It can be hard to make these changes, but is SO worth it!

[@naomic.s.6140]

Thank you sooo much for sharing your mental health struggles! I think especially at this time so many people are struggling with depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts. I think it helps to know that you are not alone. Lots of Love!!

[@shari-lyn7757]

Love the choices you've made for your house and all of the wallpaper! Its also lovely to hear that you're feeling better and you're new diet is helping. :)

[@cheyennematos5442]

I’m on the same journey (sans breast implant Illness) my histamine intolerance and gut issues were triggered by covid. Finally found a different doctor who took my long haul symptoms seriously and she put me on a high protein low carb diet (which is totally opposite of how I was eating before). I’ve had the most consecutive days of feeling good in a row since I had covid last March. Fermented foods also trigger my symptoms.. as well as stress, sugar, alcohol of course (can’t even have a couple of sips of wine). I have been able to tolerate Raw women’s probiotics (it’s a little pink bottle) without it flaring my symptoms up. So glad you found what’s working for you!

[@wiktoriasegelin3001]

Yes, please make more videos on healing the gut and what you eat in the day. I'm 27 and I just recently found out that I suffer from histamine intolerance also. It's so upsetting for me to know that I have caused this by being careless with my diet and lifestyle - like you said in the video and on Instagram - it is not all about the macros and eating everything in moderation. I look forward to more content! :)

[@kirstenalgenio3843]

Im so so so happy you’re finding out new things about your body and how it responds and that YOURE FEELING BETTER!!! 🥰🥰 you look amazing!

[@kimberlysnapp1218]

I love how down to earth you are & relatable!! You are such a great teacher!

[@luvmydunks]

Glad you are doing better! I healed my gut with bone broth. I have IBD. In 2018 I almost died of an infection and was getting so many flare ups of colitis and tons of uti infections. I’ve been drinking bone broth on an empty stomach for two years now and I’ve never felt better! I recommend it for sure! And along with everything you mentioned in the video

[@ravenmackenzie1954]

This was so interesting! I’ve also been dealing with gut health issues and currently trying the elimination diet (guided by a naturopath), it’s crazy how much it impacts! Also years in the fitness world and competing for sure made an impact as well! It’s been so cool to see your progress throughout the years from extremes to a more natural lifestyle because I feel like I’ve been on a similar journey! (Also a fellow Canadian!!) can’t wait to see how the rest works for you! 🤗🤗🤗

[@evealexandra4367]

Robin you have such beautiful taste!!!! That’s the most gorgeous wall paper and the antique furniture is so classy x

[@belenirwin137]

Such a sweet person. Hope you get 100% well 🌟🌟

[@makeuphappy1]

Thanks for sharing your journey, being transparent, reminder on focusing on our physical health as mental health and not just on the physical appearance which is sad that our society focusing so much on this ! Your a encouragement to me and enjoy I your channel ! Cheers to living a purposeful life and making and BEING THE DIFFERENCE ♥️🙏👊🙌

[@vstam390]

My bloating stopped when I eliminated grains. And when I do have it in certain forms I get headaches so I feel strongly it's the culprit. Happy you're feeling better!

[@holliemcneill5603]

Hi Robin, Haven't watched your channel in a few years. I'm so happy this was my first re-introduction to you and your channel. This video gave me a breathe of fresh air. I find myself in a similar state as yourself, wanting to improve my gut health, being present with nature, and decluttering. Excited to watch more. 🥰

[@bonnievalverde77]

Informative vlog💚 I've been eating organic whole foods, clean eating for several years. I'll never go back! I follow the "Whole30" way of eating, I've learned so much about foods that have a negative affect on me, as well as gut health~ Looking forward to seeing what you eat in a day~

[@sashal.n9454]

I didn't know cabbage was so good for the gut! Thank you! And happy healing!!

[@leni568]

Oh Robin I hope you'll find what works for you soon! But its really interesting to see your progress and experiences, you'll help many people with this probably, much love xx

[@bellawright1592]

Hey babe! I identify with your symptoms. In addition to mental health meds, I just added lion mane mushrooms! They’re 100% natural and have been used for centuries. It’s help with my brain fog and migraines significantly! 10/10 would recommend 💘

[@MamaSwole]

looking beautiful as always queen!!

[@Robin.Francis]

Aw thank you gorgeous ❤️❤️

[@Lauren-xp9ch]

Just wanted to say your editing is so thoughtful and always looks immaculate!🤍

[@brainfm-relaxation]

Lovely video, thanks for sharing. Wishing you a wonderful week!

[@asweeni8517]

This video was so useful, thank you! I caught some of it on your Instagram stories and wish I'd saved it. I hope to see more videos about meal ideas for gut healing as I'd like to incorporate it into my diet as well. Thank you for sharing your journey! Also, loved the cute wallpapers that you've chosen for the bedroom and bathroom. Can't wait to see your farmhouse renovations.

[@delaneycoll5765]

So helpful Robin! ❤️I would looove to see a vlog of your grocery shopping or just a massive grocery haul for some inspiration ❤️

[@elliemaiwellness8614]

I loved this one🙌🏽 I literally thrive talking about whole foods, I’m so happy that you’re feeling better & starting to feel like yourself again💛

[@kd_7364]

Your butt is definitely not flat.. haha. You look great and healthy!! Still goals to me 😍

[@andreagil7604]

Loveeee this video! Not even watch it complete but i already love it!

[@amgalleg1]

Maybe try looking into Candida? I’m with you. I have so much gut health issues and the diet is so hard for me. 😩 so thankful you talk about this!

[@McSteamyfied]

Please continue with more recipes! 😊 I would really like to see them.

[@rachel3444]

Love your honesty girl! Glad you’re feeling better 🤍

[@gabyxfitness]

I started looking into the gut healing diets this year too... been doing organic Whole Foods/limited carbs. Zero brain fog, no bloating, don’t crave desserts! Its amazing when you stop & look at what’s in/on the foods we eat the amount of crap is insane!

[@jane9064]

Just started watching your videos and really enjoying them. Loved this one, I was the same bloated stomach problems, had an I tolerance test done and was amazed at all the things I was allergic too and ate them on a daily basis. I’m glad your feeling a lot better x

[@sarahdavis9275]

Thank you for sharing! I’ve been thinking that I needed to do the same thing but have just been thinking about it recently not doing anything about it lol. I struggle with the same issues as you and it’s really not fun. This is definitely the sign I needed to actually take action and do something about improving my overall health. I’m really happy that you’re feeling better. I hope that you continue to feel better! 😊

[@jesusiskingofmyheart]

you are such a sweetheart! LOVE your videos ❤️ thank you for being so open & honest with us.

[@carolinabrazona7546]

I learned so much from this video, it was the best 25 minutes of my day! Thank you for being honest and sharing your story. I didn't know there was an intolerance to histamine, but now I know that and I wish you the greatest strength in the world! Take advantage of the open air to take your walks, that purity of air only does good for our health We want videos, but we want you to be well and happy Robin!! Big kiss from Portugal ; ))

[@SydneyJFitness]

thank you for the gut health story! my mental health decline seemed to have also caused a gut health decline. could you maybe do a full day of eating on this whole foods diet? also youre so beautiful and im glad youre feeling better!

[@marissasantucci]

love your videos robin! glad you’re starting to heal! 💙

[@vanessagilovich9545]

BAE with the curls, so gorgeous! So happy to see you thriving

[@popsielondon526]

I have been suffering with the similar symptoms and intolerances that i never had as a child, tried various diets, nutrionists etc. doesn't work as the gut is related to the mind. @robingallant your video is so helpful and has motivated me to start a wholefoods diet and start my gut healing process from now on. Thanks for sharing this... so so helpful

[@chiarascaglioni7794]

So happy that you’re doing better! We really are what we eat and food is the first cure the earth has ever given to us❤️

[@tinabietler]

Hello, I have been watching your vids for a while but this is my first comment. Good for you for taking your health into your own control. I also struggle with brain fog, chronic fatigue, and several other of the symptoms you have mentioned. I have several autoimmune diseases, with Rheumatoid Arthritis being the big one I have had for 30 years, but for the last 7 years I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Many of the symptoms you mentioned are the exact same symptoms of Fibromyalgia. You might want to question your doctor next time you see him. I am on a medicine called Lyrica and it has done wonders for helping to make the brain fog and pain go away. I can actually be a functioning human being once again.

[@yaknowamsayin]

Why does your timeline seem so eerily similar to mine? I didn’t compete in shows, but I had similar gut and mental health correlations, UTIs, the whole nine yards. Thanks for doing this video, I don’t feel so alone!

[@TheGatewayProductions]

Great upload! They should teach the importance of mental health in schools. Nice work!

[@jenp1032]

Hi Robin! Have you ever considered trying a whole foods plant based diet? I experienced issues with my gut & digestion for years, and 90% of them were fixed when i cut out meat and then other 10% when i cut out dairy! I introduced new foods each time i cut something out so it was a slow transition and never felt restrictive. I feel a lot more in tune with my body now and am so glad i did it :) its all about balance though and im glad this is working for you!

[@madeleinereeves7036]

Thanks Robin for being real and raw.

[@Alovisags]

Thank you so much for sharing 💕 Also doing my best to try heal my gut. Felt very alone with my issues. Please continue sharing your tips. I’m on a auto immune protocol (AIP) diet and really feel it helps! 😊

[@HannahDawson]

Girl! Your so amazing for sharing!! I had BII too and am free of my implants too. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Sofia-sz6kf]

Love this video - fun to see some different bits from your daily life! And I'm so happy you're feeling better! x

[@sunvavachi]

I'm so behind videos. Flying back to NS after so long. Nice to see you happy. :)

[@shelbyasmrr]

Incredible as always Robin 💕

[@Elinal23567]

Your story is inspiring and very helpful! Thank you ❤

[@allisonsomers352]

I’m so glad you found what works for you! Your meals still look super satisfying and delicious. If you do struggle with anxiety and depression still, you might want to see a therapist to see if that helps 💕

[@natashaamoretti4349]

Thank you for sharing your journey, parts of it really resonated with my self and my health Journey. I have Multiple Sclerosis and I’ve had to heal myself in the same way through an organic wholefood diet, with low impact exercise and positive mind set. It’s been one of the hardest journeys but the best as out of it, I set up The Wild Minds Collective on Instagram, and an online magazine where I share my journey along the Nutritionists and healers Who have helped me along the way. Your honesty and humility is both very humbling and inspiring. Really glad I’ve stumbled across you on KZbin. Sending positive healing vibes and much love ✨💕

[@skyegorena7765]

Hey Robin! I am someone who has blood sugar issues, as well as fatigue issues. I prefer to eat organic non gmo foods. I feel best vegan (but allow myself to eat some sushi) so Pegan. I think if you switch to fluoride free water as well you will notice a huge difference in brain fog within a couple of weeks. I want you to be healthy!

[@jutka12]

Robin, it’s great to hear you’re making progress! What brand DAO do you use, my supplier no longer carries them and I’m having trouble finding more. I’m in Canada if that makes a difference.

[@TheJviolet26]

Always appreciate your content. Thanks so much.

[@jendots10]

thanks for sharing Robin ! 💕

[@samantha-kemp-therapy]

Im an RTT therapist - I think a command cell therapy session would be beneficial. You look so much brighter though congratulations on your journey x

[@Bayarea_realtor]

Can I just say I look up to you so much. First I can relate to so many things you are experiencing. I have ADD and all those other symptoms mostly high fatigue and bloating and brain fog. I really wanted to get implants so thank thank thank you for bringing this to my attention! I really feel like I have a problem with my gut too so I should really take the time like you are and address it. I recently changed all my products to natural and nature’s essence is a great brand I started using also I’m going to start detox baths. Watch a KZbin video and take one for yourself and relax you deserve it. Truly I mean that you need to a me day and detox. 💕🙏🏻🧖‍♀️

[@jodiehawkins1047]

I have ADHD too, and experience this! I'm sure Robin has said she had adhd before but she never talks about it which is a shMe

[@lindsayangio]

Yess I started the Whole Foods plant based diet over a month ago and eating all Whole Foods and nothing processed saved my gut!! Specifically the last two week I cut out grains because I noticed even oatmeal would make me feel puffy?!

[@CindyRussi.]

What i eat in a day to give more info about what helped you. I have major fatigue and similar issues as you described.

[@irock06kaylee]

Robin please give an update on your breast implant removal how are you feeling energy wise mentally. I’ve had implants for about 4 years I don’t feel well extremely tiered all the time I rest have blood work everything fine I believe it can be my implants please when you get a chance make a detailed video on when you had them to now there’s a lot of us that can relate and have been following you for years thank you ❤️

[@BLXYDE]

you should consider auto immune paleo diet! also, for ur shelving in your kitchen maybe cupboard shelving ( adds a second layer on every shelf :) )

[@AlwaysBetterThen]

You’re amazing, Robin

[@hannahanderson7382]

Strangely enough I also bloat when I HAVEN'T had enough to eat and it gets wayyyyy worse when I train. These past few weeks I've been on a similar journey and it's great when you start seeing results isn't it 😊 xx

[@LoisLovesFitness]

Diet is everything especially when you have gut issues! It’s a pain cos I love “balance” but until I’m able to heal my gut I can’t have balance! Once I remove certain foods and eat a more alkaline diet for two months I can then eat a more balanced diet with less repercussions ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@emmakate6518]

Smidge probiotics are great for people with histamine intolerances!!

[@beccapetite5257]

Good kick robin ! Hope this all works out for you!

[@miaroseolivia]

I highly recommend reading Fiber Fueled x

[@jennyjjohnston]

It’s gonna be gorgeous! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼

[@thefebruaryfeels]

Hi Robin, I hope you read this. I just have a resource to share with you on histamine intolerance and other gut issues. The Dr Brooke show podcast is amazing for providing info on all of this. She is a trained pharmacist and naturopath (sees power in both) and believes in functional Medicine. Check out her podcast! Also red light therapy. You should read up on the science about RLT for healing.

[@juliespellman3126]

Gluten and dairy are huge inflammatories. With what you are trying to achieve- I would try ditching those.

[@Emma050993]

I hate to add to the whole "dr google" diagnosis' but a few of my friends have had covid and mentioned the brain fog and extreme fatigue that has been diagnosed as long term covid so it could be that, maybe something to speak to your GP about x

[@alanaambrose9356]

I think it is clear this had been going on for months and not since last December but that being said, I have heard the same thing :(

[@MadiePadie]

You seem so healthy and happy!! ❤️❤️ so excited for you! I’ve been wanting to start juicing! You should make some videos of your different juicing recipes😊 Also, I hear the pulp is good for you, do you ever add it back in?

[@ivoryliving]

I'm sorry if this is ignorant but I thought that juicing removes most of the fiber which is need for the probiotics to work? Am I wrong?

[@myr-iambelanger4147]

I have the same issues and I see someone to help me with my gut and training. If you have some questions I will answer you. Have a nice day

[@sophiesimmons4177]

This was so relaxing to watch🙏❤️❤️

[@4Dangert]

So what do you have for treats on this eating plan? I hear you about always being sore after working out. How far do you try and walk each day?

[@sydneylynch9798]

You’re amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@santanapreciado2176]

she said her butt was flat... 🤣🤣🤣🤣 oh Robin, you weren't even posing and your tush is still poppin'!👌👌 I know how u feel tho, if I'm more lean I don't feel like my bum is where I want it;) you look incredible!!

[@melissamartin9549]

please do what i eat in a days!!

[@kathybrown8026]

Do the Ralph Lauren wallpaper! You will tire of the mini print! I promise! The larger floral will work!! It does suit the property!

[@Robin.Francis]

It’s a beautiful wallpaper but it’s a very French design. We’re trying to stay true to traditional English country interiors 🤍

[@sandramatthews2938]

Could u put a link Robin to the wallpaper u choice pleeeease

[@Wenndina]

Love the vlogs 💖

[@angblevins]

Would love a what you eat in a day . Gut issues here too!

[@TheDailySerenity]

As a holistic gut health practitioner, I’m so glad to hear that you started looking into gut health! It’s super common for people who have taken rounds of antibiotics and undergo surgery to be left with an imbalanced microbiome. Because some of your symptoms still persist I highly recommend seeking a professional (which you’re doing) who can run a gi-map test to get a more in depth look into the gut and determine what needs to be addressed! This paired with an MRT test will allow you to see which foods you’re reactive to so you only need to temporarily eliminate those specific ones and have more confidence & choices when it comes to food! I take this approach with my clients, feel free to ask me questions! IG:@thedailyserenity

[@vstam390]

Just curious,why would one temporarily remove those foods if a person is reactive? Wouldn't you remove indefinitely as best you can?

[@TheDailySerenity]

@@vstam390 great question! Its because usually it's not ultimately the food that's the issue (say a person turned out to be reactive to celery), it's that their gut is "leaky" and their immune system has developed a negative response to it. After strengthening digestive function & strengthening the gut lining you should be able to tolerate it again. It depends on the person they may be able to tolerate it no problem or up to a certain quantity. The goal is to allow you to eat as many foods as possible so I wouldn't want someone to have to eliminate something forever!

[@foxymoochachas]

Do you think that some of your symptoms like the allergies can be attributed to your move to England? I always get sick when I travel there to visit family.

[@morgxx7]

Have you ever heard of/looked into TRS heavy metal detox? I’m seeing quite a few people post about it and it’s supposed to help with a lot of those symptoms you listed. Would love to hear your opinion!

[@morgxx7]

I know it was mostly breast implant illness, but in addition to that!

[@callyjosephine1118]

Have you looked into SIBO or leaky gut!? Might not hurt to get tested. This sounds all too familiar to what I went through after BII/explanting. Currently healing my gut 🙏🏽

[@yogastrengthrelease]

Awww. I honestly feel for you girl. I suffer with a lot of the same things. Leaky Gut and I'm Pretty sure I have a Histamine intolerance too. You will get better though. Trust Me :-)

[@fernytv4456]

I really hope you see this but what protein powder do you use? I remember you saying vegan proteins don’t sit well with you and SAME!🥲🥲 but don’t want a heavy whey protein:(
