Keto, paleo, vegetarian, sugar free, gluten free, dairy free… diet after diet after diet. If you’re sick of being on the rollercoaster of restriction listen up. No diet is going to heal you if you don’t know what you are treating.
Would you trust a doctor that just gave you pills before listening to your symptoms? I sure hope not… then why do we prescribe ourselves food without listening to what our body needs?
Let me say that again… FOOD IS MEDICINE! Whether you buy into that or not, what we eat is where we get our nutrients from and what our body uses as building blocks to grow, heal, support, repair and nourish ourselves on a daily basis.
And if you’re honest with yourself, you will know when you are truly feeling good and when you’re not, no one likes waking up tired, with no energy and storing extra layers around their tummy, thighs or back of the arms!
Or maybe it’s the constant bloating, PMS, irregular bowel movements that’s getting you down. Either way, we both know a krispy kreme donut probably isn’t going to help the situation.
Unfortunately, food in this case isn’t the answer. You could be eating as healthy as a horse and as clean as my mother’s kitchen (it is always sparkling), and still be struggling to see the results you want!
I know, I’ve been there… and I’ve worked with hundreds of clients that have had the same issue.
If we don’t know what is driving the body to bloat, store fat, deplete us of energy, how can we expect to know how to fix it. This is why it is so important to get to the ROOT CAUSE!!
I’m going to be honest with you, it is a pet peeve of mine for symptoms to just be labelled as NORMAL or just cast under a very wide umbrella of let’s say IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). That doesn’t solve anything! What is driving those symptoms is what I want to help you get to the bottom of!
This is exactly why I have created my FREE ROOT CAUSE QUIZ!! To help you get to the bottom of why these symptoms are haunting you! Click the link above to take it!
Now this quiz is by no means a diagnostic tool, but it is definitely an incredible place to start and can give us clear insight into what might be driving those issues. Rather than blaming the diet, there is a strong possibility that there is something else contributing… inflammation, burnout, hormones, the liver, gut health, thyroid issues etc.
So, this quiz is the best place to start! From here we can gauge our next steps and dive a little further! I hope you find some insight and answers, and remember YOU know your body better than anyone else, you have the right to question if something doesn’t feel right, and you also don’t have to accept ‘that’s normal’ as a response or solution.
