Once I knew I had Adrenal Fatigue and SIBO I learned that I needed to revamp my diet.

Since I tested as being sensitive to wheat (gluten), dairy, soy, and corn that’s where I started. Before these tests I had already eliminated gluten. I had known early on that dairy wrecked my gut so those two things were easy for me to stop eating.

There isn't one universal diet that works for everyone. But everyone benefits from eating real, whole,  unprocessed foods.

The foods that we eat become a part of our bodies. It becomes our cells, our blood, our organs, our bones - every single part of us! So then why do we fuel our body with junk foods?!

We can't eat junk food and expect to feel energized, perform well and avoid disease. It simply doesn't happen this way.

When I use the word "diet", I mean it to be "foods to be enjoyed because they support an individual's health." I don't mean it as a restrictive " you can't eat that" diet, or "you can only eat 1200 calories a day" diet. 

Restrictive strategies set us up for failure in the long run. As a society, we've fallen victim to the diet mentality for way too long. Then when we fail, we blame ourselves because we couldn't stick with it. But it's not our fault! ANY restrictive diet will have a yo-yo effect.

A happy, healthy life is about more than just the food that we eat, or the amount of exercise we get.

It's about who we are, what we love, and what fulfills us. It's about love, our relationships, our career, our dreams, our goals, and our spirituality. I refer to these aspects of our lives as "primary foods."

You can have the healthiest diet in the world. You can exercise every day, but if other areas of your life are out of balance, you won't feel your best.

You are likely to even feel a bit lost.
