You see, when I eliminated entire food groups, I didn’t know what to put on my plate. The moment I started having them again, the weight would come right back.
If I wanted to try intense activities, I would feel initially good then start experiencing other symptoms.
I even dabbled with fancy apps.
It wasn’t easy but it “needed to be done”.
I needed to understand the root cause of what was preventing me from shedding the stubborn weight and not jump onto another trend that didn’t get to the bottom of things.
But I had no clue about the real reason for the problem in the first place.
“They” never taught me this at all the appointments I attended.
But I knew that understanding the gut-hormone connection and its effect on my entire being was essential to my success.
And after fighting this internal battle and taking two steps forward and one step back, for the majority of my life, I made a surprising discovery.
I couldn’t just eliminate things and expect symptoms to go away for good.
Nor could I just do another trend for a short while only to experience even worse symptoms the next time.
I knew following this ‘general healthy lifestyle’ wasn’t going to cut it if I wanted to really manage my symptoms long term.
So I committed to figure this out.
