Hi all! Despite being unjabbed I find myself dealing with a slew of health issues I’ve had for at least a decade which I went over in my last text post. Finally, with the guidance of a great team of naturopathic health professionals (and thanks to my sister for referring me) I’ve taken the first steps toward changing my lifestyle in order to clean out my gut and body the organic way.

My diet is fairly balanced and I eat well, as I’m learning during this process. Overall it’s been less difficult than I made it up in my mind to be. In the last two weeks I have determined what my trigger foods are and I’ve had to cut out the usual suspects like wheat, cane sugar, cow’s milk, and chicken eggs, and it turns out: almonds, barley, oats, tomatoes, mushrooms, kale, kidney beans, cod, and black pepper.

Also taking tons of supplements and then charcoal before bed to help with die-off of bad bacteria. NO antibiotics for me.

I couldn’t imagine doing this program when I was drinking soda and eating fast food, a diet I was partly raised on.

I guess what I’m getting at with this post is that anyone can do what I’m doing. There’s an alternative for almost everything! Did you know maple syrup is a non-inflammatory sweetener alternative to sugar for things like coffee?

As our world becomes less healthy, go the other way. Treat your body the way society doesn’t want you to.
