SLP 360: Trust Your Gut with Alison Bell

‘I think the worst advice I got was to trust everyone else’s advice. The financials aren’t going to be my strongest point, I’m not an accountant and obviously you’re always going to listen to your bookkeeper or someone providing financial assistance, but they still don’t know it all, they still don’t know your business as thoroughly as you do. So, while they may make recommendations that is based purely on finances, they don’t know your customers, they don’t know what you’re capable of if you absolutely have to make a sale. So, I think being 100% guided by someone else, even though it’s their expertise, you’ve still just got to trust your gut, trust your gut instinct. Because no one knows your business like you do.’ ~ Alison Bell

When Alison Bell retired as a professional tennis player, she knew she wanted to pursue a career in either the fitness or health industries… She may have taken a while to get here, but now that she’s arrived, she is completely in her element!
After suffering from her own injuries during her sporting career – and recovering from subsequent surgeries, Alison has a genuine understanding and appreciation of the importance of a speedy recovery.

After being diagnosed and living with hashimoto’s disease, lupus, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and a leaky gut, Alison truly understands what it is to be unwell, and has found bone broth to be an integral part of her healing. She swears by it!

“Bone broth just works! I’ve sipped it through many colds and flus and am still amazed at how quickly it can prevent that slightly off feeling from progressing to a full-blown illness. I feed it to my entire family when flu season hits! I’ve taken it for muscular aches and pains as well as joint injuries to help recovery. And of course, for the big kahuna – gut health. As we learn more about the gut and its microbiome, the more we realise how incredibly important its health is for not only physical ailments but also mental health. Bone broth was the pharmaceutical before pharmaceuticals existed and it’s exciting to see it returning to everyone’s diet.”

Alison is heavily involved in the preparation, cooking and distribution of the dehydrated bone broth… there every step of the way – from go to whoa! She is there from produce selection to the bottling up stage – to ensure that nothing but the best quality and nourishment goes into each and every jar.

Alison also understands that there is no one fix all solution. Wellness comes from a change in mind, body, soul and spirit. She is constantly educating herself with new ways to find optimal wellness in nutrition and lifestyle. She is an advocate for alternate therapies and practices meditation through sound healing and shamanic learning on a daily basis.

Robert Frost Poem
Two paths diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the under growth.

Her definition of Self Love is self-discovery, being true to who I am, dropping all the facades of what other people want me to be and do it with kindness. It’s ok to be yourself. Not everyone will like it. It can make you vulnerable. It’s brave not to hide or hold it in. It’s brave to show your true self.

Her favourite quote is:
If you don’t know your own worth and value, no one else will. ~ Anon
