Meet Karin Nahmani

We were lucky to catch up with Karin Nahmani recently and have shared our conversation below.

Karin, looking forward to learning from your journey. You’ve got an amazing story and before we dive into that, let’s start with an important building block. Where do you get your work ethic from?
I guess I got it from my parents as both of them where independent workers they always found the way to support the family and grow bigger.

I always had the dream to be more successful as well as make difference in people’s life .

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

 

First, let me say, I believe that I have a purpose and a path that I am on to create a movement in field of gut and digestive health.  I want to bring about new beginnings in how people talk about and look at their gut and not be embarrassed.  It goes beyond our bathroom habits.  Everyone jokes about being gassy but there is nothing more painful than what you feel when you are bloated and tired, maybe constipated, and don’t know what to do or how to handle your gut when everyone is afraid to ask for advice or even talk about it, how can you find a solution…. THIS is exactly my path.  By breaking that taboo, I know I can give them a new way look at the importance of their gut health.  In doing so, give everyone a new way to l live their life.

Now, having said that, my life and life’s work revolves around the gut.
What it does, what it’s supposed to do, but really more importantly what it doesn’t do when not functioning properly. This last part in particular is what I am focused on with each and every client and person I meet.
Our gut holds all of our stuff, the emotions and things we can’t or choose not to let go of.  That is not healthy for us.  It is very true, what we hold on the inside is a reflection of what is happening on the outside.  Meaning, if you have constipation, are fatigue, bloated, have bad skin, first we need to realize that those are the outwardly effects of what is happening inside our body, and more specifically our gut.  I want people to know, and I want to put emphasis on what I am about to say, WE ALL NEED TO LET THAT SHIT GO!  When we do this, and believe me it isn’t the easiest thing to do, but when you decide to put those emotions and feelings aside, I not saying you can’t ever feel them, but when you decide to move on and leave them in the past, you begin not only to heal yourself but in doing so really begins to heal your gut as well.
Beauty and health comes from the inside out.

 

Did you know 90% of our health is directly or indirectly related to the health of the gut.  I believe people people need to change, more importantly can change from the inside out.

It amazes me that people think they have a healthy gut. When I start talking to them they tell me they eat healthy, workout and take care of themselves but when I ask them about their bathroom habits they tell me they only go 2 times a week. I say really! You’re supposed to do that every day!! Once after every meal!

To me gut health is so much more than the gut. It’s not just what you eat or how you eat. Yes that is important, but I think about gut health as a connection tool to our body, mind and spirit. There is so much more than what goes in, thinking of about our gut holistically, it’s about what we hold inside our heart and mind, this is what we hold in our gut. Things we can’t or won’t let go of, the emotions that we keep locked away, stored up. Those are the things that play a tremendous part in how our gut reacts to the actions, or our inactions of letting go of the things that are really doing harm not just to our gut but life in general.

Sadness, depression, sickness and the effects of a death are all very traumatic to our body, when we hold tight to those things we feel it. In our mind, body, soul and especially in our gut, which creates havoc to our digestive system.

That’s why the mind, body and gut connection are so very important to me. When I speak to people, meet them for the first time, I can tell they have emotions that are holding inside. I do like laying hands on the abdomen and belly and feeling the specific areas. You can tell a lot by touch. By doing this I can tell what the emotions are and how those are affecting this person. All I have to do is begin taking to them, asking about their life and experiences that all it takes.

The why for their emotional blockage just begin to come out. It’s really about education. Gut health is something you learn about.
Believe me, every gut is different. Your digestive system is just as unique as you are. Everyone. What makes us gassy, bloated. What causes inflammation. Perfect example is lactose intolerance.

Once we, you get down to the root cause of our digestive issues then we can begin to live in harmony, not just with our gut, but I believe in our lives as well.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
The most important skill I have is the healer part of me.

The second is, I can really feel the other person. What they need. It’s like reading the energy. I am very compassionate.

The 3 rd on I want to make change in people life. Change the way they think, also to help as many as I can with my knowledge and skills.

Alright, so before we go we want to ask you to take a moment to reflect and share what you think you would do if you somehow knew you only had a decade of life left?
The challenge is to bring gut health to the main stream I want pepole to start to talk about gut problems more open without any fear or shame. I want to make it a natural subject to talk about. It’s an important subject to talk about. The gut, the colon, our bathroom habits, being gassy and feeling bloated.

That’s why I wrote my book “Shit Isn’t A Dirty Word: An Unorthodox Approach to Colon and Digestive Health”. With writing my book, that was an illuminating and liberating experience. As the author, I delved into uncharted territories, challenging societal taboos around a subject often avoided – bowel movements. Navigating through humor, science, and personal anecdotes, the process was a journey of breaking down stigmas, fostering a candid conversation about our bodies, and ultimately, embracing the unspoken aspects of human health with authenticity and wit.

Writing the book was a transformative experience. I share my life and experiences that have made me who I am and brought me to this exact place. I share all of it. The highs, lows, and unexpected insights gained during the process of bringing my book to life.

Writing “Shit Isn’t a Dirty Word” presented several unique challenges that added depth to the creative process: Tackling a subject often considered taboo required delicacy in striking a balance between humor and respect.

Overcoming societal discomfort and encouraging open dialogue about bodily functions posed a significant challenge.

Ensuring that the book was informative without being overly technical or alienating to a diverse readership was a constant challenge.

Addressing the stigma associated with discussing bowel movements required finesse. But also brutal honesty. The challenge was to normalize the topic while acknowledging and dismantling ingrained societal discomfort.
Ensuring accuracy in conveying information while making it engaging for readers posed a continuous challenge.

Infusing humor into a subject like bowel movements required careful consideration. Striking the right tone to make talking about the gut enjoyable without undermining its importance was a perpetual challenge throughout the writing process.

Remaining objective and open-minded was crucial to presenting a well-rounded perspective.

Bringing a book with a shocking title to market involved navigating potential resistance from publishers or public perception. And believe me, I have run up against resistance. I can’t count the amount of “no’s or it’s not for us”. The thing that brings resistance it the one thing that I want to break the taboo about…. SHIT, poop, BM, bowel movement…. What ever you want to call it, that’s the thing I want to address…. By the way, shit isn’t a dirty word. It’s what we do every day, or should be doing at least 3 times a day!

Standing firm in the conviction that my life’s work has a valuable message was and is a challenge in itself.

Through it all, and it hasn’t been all bad, I created a book that breaks societal norms but also contributes to fostering a healthier and more open conversation around a fundamental aspect of human existence.

Not only did I want to give people a guide on what colonics and gut health looks like, I also created a new vitamin line, NOA by Karin Nahmani. The products are all natural and deals specifically with gut health. Colon Cleanse, Digestive Enzymes, Probiotics, Detoxing and Meal Plans that reduce Candida, which is yeast and is the cause of many digestive issues like inflammation, yeast infections, and headaches.

Everything I do and have done is all about helping people learn about gut health and why it’s important.

The more open and honest I am about it, this will help people be more open and speak more freely. The more we talk about it the more we can help people with disease. I am not sure people realize that these things are related.

I want to break the taboo that surrounds all of it!

The more open it will be the more we can help people with disease. I am not sure people realize that these things are related .

I want to break the taboo around it!
