5 Consistent Things That I do Every Day to Keep My SVT AWAY
Applying SVT Prevention is a full-time job, but effort that is well worth the reward!
Through the years, there have been several changes that I have made to my Diet and Lifestyle along with new habits I developed that help me to keep me SVT free. These are the the consistent things that I do every day to keep my SVT away!
These are not things that I do once in a while or did for a few months and then stopped. Today I am sharing with you the things that have been a consistent part of my everyday daily life for over 7 years now. They are 5 of the things that I believe have had the most impact on my continued health and SVT FREEDOM.
The following are 5 lifestyle changes that I made or incorporated at the beginning of my Heal SVT Naturally journey that stuck due to the improvements they made on my overall health and of course, helping me to stay SVT FREE.
- I make a smoothie every single day. Changing what you eat for breakfast is essential to setting you up for a successful day of SVT prevention. Smoothies are my breakfast of choice and the first food that I feed my body each day. My smoothies are loaded with nutrition and energy and set me up for a day of reduced sugar cravings, along with motivation to stay on track. I add bananas for
potassium, cherries which help to balance hormones and assist our bodies to rid ourselves of excess estrogen. I add baby organic spinach, blueberries, almonds or walnuts or almond butter, coconut water and or almond milk, hemp seeds, honey, and green powders like Spirulina and Green Vibrance. Smoothies help you to move your bowels, feed your body and blood a high dose of nutrients first thing in the morning, and start you off with a gluten free protein dense breakfast. Read this article here on How to make an SVT Prevention Smoothie.
- I take Cal Mag Citrate.There are many excellent forms and brands of magnesium out there. This is the one that has been working well for me for years. I take one scoop in one glass of water every day in addition to all my other water that I drink all day. I use this Brand called Cal Mag Citrate by Throne HERE. This supplement has been a staple for me, especially in my early days when I was battling chronic SVT related anxiety. This is my go to anytime I’m feeling “off”, hot, or when you feel like an SVT is on the horizon. Also very helpful for when your nerves are shot, when you had a stressful conversation or when you know you are going into a stressful environment.
3. I Journal. I always liked to journal, but I learned that tuning in to my Intuition is a necessary part of listening to my heart, which is an essential part of SVT Prevention! Since SVT is a heart chakra issue, we want to address the emotional issues that are associated. Journaling is a FREE and fast way to gain inner wisdom on so many areas of life. Journaling helps you to make decisions, get in touch with your feelings, find clarity, and release thoughts and emotions that may be overwhelming you. If you are interested in journaling or specifically learning to journal to deepen your connection to your intuition, then I have a FREE gift for you! Check out my Journaling with your Intuition download HERE. It’s FREE;) And stay tuned for my new journal collection and Vision Journal kits that I am working on. They are coming very soon! (I’ll be sure to let you know when those are ready…)
- I went Gluten-Free. Removing gluten made a massive positive impact on my health, my SVT, my mental health, my bowels, my gut health, my energy levels and so much more. I finally took the plunge (after much resistance) after learning that I had a gluten sensitivity (via a stool sample). Becoming gluten-free helped me to heal my gut and begin to ABSORB all of my minerals and nutrients necessary for healthy heart rhythm function. Depletion and Malabsorption are root causes of SVT. I also beleive that many people with SVT have an undiagnosed gluten intolerance. I spent all of 2018 writing what is now my main resource for anyone
interested in using FOOD as a TOOL to help you manage SVT . THE SVT PREVENTION Diet E-guide, is a 200 page digital download to help you learn how to use food and diet to prevent SVT. It explains the basics of nutrition, how a high body burden is exacerbating your SVT, what to eat for SVT prevention and what to avoid, and how to use Dietary self-care for SVT prevention and so much more. Additionally, since gluten is such an important topic I wrote a more specific guide to support you in understanding the SVT-Gluten connection, called SVT & Gluten Free. This much shorter guide (45 pages) is my follow up guide to The SVT Prevention Diet. It gives detailed specific guidance on how to transition to a Gluten Free Diet.
- I stopped eating all processed white sugar. Sugar is not good for us;( Especially because most of us (and even our children), are consuming LOADS of it! Sugar robs our body of essential minerals like magnesium just to digest it! It’s important to learn the difference between natural sugar and processed sugar, which another topic I cover in The SVT Prevention Diet. You can have natural sugar in moderation and learning this distinction is vital to your SVT freedom. Changing my daily habits of consuming English muffins, bagged cookies, sugar for breakfast, etc was a major part of ridding myself of SVT. If you have a sugar addiction (and who doesn’t??), it’s important to learn how to turn this addiction around. Some of the things you can do right away is consume much more water, add in healthy fats with your protein and fiber and learn how to bake your own healthy sweet naturally gluten free treats. (Check out my tahini cookies, and healthy chocolate chip cookies that I post on my Instagram account HERE).
I hope these 5 lifestyle changes inspire you, they have truly been life changing for me!
It’s about 9 years now that I took control of my health using food as one of my tools and I love to share my tips with other people who are struggling with SVT and related issues. If
you are interested in working with me as your Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, to help you make lifelong lasting changes to your Diet and Lifestyle, then stay tuned because I am working on launching my first ever Heal SVT Naturally Integrative Nutrition Coaching Membership. This will be a very affordable and interactive way to receive SVT support and the perfect opportunity to work with a qualified Health Coach and Board Certified Coach if you have been considering doing so. Details to follow this summer!

Hi Laura, I appreciate your gained knowledge on SVT’s and your willingness to educate us on how to treat! As well as SVT’s I’m battling cancer now so my diet is very strict and lines up very much with your lifestyle changes. One particular cause of my SVT’s is asthma and seems to me to be the primary cause. I use lots of magnesium and it helps. I do take a low dose beta blocker that has made a difference. I do not like taking prescribed drugs but this one works well for me. Thanks again–
HI Don! Thank you so much for commenting and sharing that my info has helped you! Im so sorry to hear that you have cancer! Soo many people are impacted by cancer. My father had kidney cancer and my brother had brain cancer. There is so much impacting our propensity to develop it, so many environmental toxins and pollution and pesticides etc. Definitely check out Kris Carr. I love her, she has been living with cancer for over 15 years and is a wealth of knowledge on the subject. I know she follows a vegan diet and is an advocate of no dairy and no sugar. Sugar supposedly “feeds” cancer cells. I believe that our Diet, Thoughts, lifestyle, energy etc are all impacting our health. Since you are already using diet to help yourself and supplements, have you considered making a health vision board? Depending on if you are able you can make one on pinterest or a n actual one that you make and then can hang up and can look at. I hope you can overcome this health challenge and rebuild your health and be better than ever. Wishing you lots of love and healing and feel free to reach out to me anytime! I’ll answer any questions I can! xo Laura
Laura I have been searching for answers to a holistic approach to SVT for almost thirty years and the information you offer is unbelievable and covers every aspect of causes and dietary approach along with supplements and recipe’s! You are “Light Years”ahead of everything I have been able to get my hands on and your compassion and concern is woven into everything you do! God Bless You for all of the work that you are doing to help us! You will never know how much all of the hours you must spend mean to the people that are fortunate enough to receive your valuable information! A couple of months ago I ran across an article on a study using Etripamil nasal calcium channel blocker nose spray for stopping SVT attacks in minutes instead of Adenosine in the ER rooms it is something that you can use at home if it is approved after the study! I have reservations regarding this but it is good to know that try are seeking other options let us know what you may learn regarding this!
Hi Shar, Thank you for this powerful message! I sooooo appreciate it!!!! sending you so much love + healing ! xoxo
Which gluten free chocolate chip recipe do you follow? I just went gluten free about 6 months ago and I feel a huge difference! I am sensitive to gluten… Since Xmas rolled around I’ve been eating gluten here and there thinking I’ll be fine. Well I’ve noticed this week that I’ve been much more tired and complete brain fog. T ting to blame it on everything else… but I think it is most definitely the gluten. Also have been more light headed just by tipping my head up quickly, or standing up once in awhile. I don’t believe I have svt real bad while I would like to keep it that way as well. Thanks keeping us up!
Why cal/mag not mag/cal please!
Hi Laura,
I came across your website and it’s been a world of help.
Who would of thought gluten would have anything to do with SVT… Certainly not any of the Drs I’ve seen.
I’ve been on the beta blocker and tried other prescriptions with only side effects I couldn’t stand… even a magnesium supplement didn’t help.
I’ve only been on your recommended diet for a couple weeks… I was eating cereal every morning and two chicken sandwiches a day… I cut out the cereal for oatmeal or eggs… and my sandwich’s are now gluten free bread.
Switching up my eating habits and drinking twice the water, I can already see a difference after just a couple of weeks.
I still need to be more strict, especially on the weekends… but it’s great to finally see some kind of improvement.
Thanks so much for your website! 👍
HI Steve, Thanks for your comment and that is so great that you can SEE some differences just by chaging a few things. I hope you take your Diet upgrades even further and layer in greens, super foods, smoothies loaded with vitimans and more. If you want, you can get The SVT Prevention Diet e-guide, it explains the SVT-GUT connection and what to eat and what to avoid much further…Wishing you the very best!
Hi Laura,
I happened on your site recently while looking for holistic ways to deal with SVT. I too have noticed a difference when reducing gluten in my diet. I never ate much sugar to begin with and have stopped it. I use a transdermal magnesium twice a day. Oral magnesium causes too much digestive upset in my case. I increased my water intake a lot after reading one of your blogs. I use a form of breathing called box breathing when meditating. I can feel a difference in minutes. I do have a question. I get very amped up when I have to see my doctor. I can take my BP a few hours prior and it’s normal as is my heart rate. The minute I get in the office my BP has gone up a lot as has my heart rate. My normal heart rate is around 65-75 BPM. In the office it will be over 100. Any ideas on what I can do ? I keep thinking I am in fight or flight so the adrenals must be involved.
Hi Jim, I would say to drink or spray a little magnesium just prior but if it upsets your stomach you can try homeopathy or essential oils. AND, I would try to speak to your anxiety and ask it questions…Why are you so nervous to go, what about going is brining up nervous feelings? Really try to think about it and open your mind…Do you feel disempowered at the doctors office? pressured in any way? Try to identify what is coming up for you and then support yourself…Things like…remembering that you can think about ANYTHING before deciding and committing…You are in charge of your health decisions, etc…AND, bring with you anything you physically need to feel safe and comfortable..A bottle of cold water, lavender oil to apply, ear phones to listen to calming music…etc. Let me know if you figure out why this is happening, I would love to know and support you!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! This has aided in my natural healing tremendously!
Thank you so much for commenting! I hope you are doing well!
