The food I was eating was the enemy of my health...
It wasn't until my 30's that I really started to take a look at what I was eating...
In my 20's I couldn't have cared less about "red dye #5." But in my 30's, my body was changing, and I couldn't ignore my ailments anymore because they were getting worse! A decade earlier I had cut out dairy- which cured me of my cystic acne. I leaned into this, I knew there was a chance food was linked to my other health complaints:
fatigue
acne
heart palpitations
acid reflux
joint pain
brain fog
I had seen countless doctors & dermatologists desperately searching for a solution, or even a diagnosis. Nothing worked.
Doctors offered solutions through medications, and dermatologists didn't seem to take me seriously when I pleaded that there had to be a better way as I had already tried accutane twice, and every acne medication there was to try.
Slowly, I dug deep into the research and online forums of people's personal account's of their own wellness journeys through food and learned how their bodies were transformed. Their ailments healed. I slowly began to implement different food changes into my life.
To skip to the good part, I no longer have joint pain, I no longer have heart palpitations. My acid reflux is gone. I do not have an afternoon crash. It's hard for me to even remember the days with these ailments.
I am constantly amazed, because if I have a 'slip up day' (which will happen sometimes) I will wake up with joint pain, or my acid reflux will come back for a time. And I am happily reminded of the POWER of our bodies to heal themselves when they are nourished with the right foods. I am reminded that the joint pain I feel, or the acid reflux, or some other ailment I have is my body signaling to me that it doesn't like something I gave it.
