When people initiate a discussion with me about their health issues, I start by asking about their sugar consumption.
Often they reply that they don’t eat that much sugar.
Ok. Maybe so.
Then I ask about their carbohydrate intake – grains (even heart-healthy grains!), starchy veggies, fruits, and alcohol being primary sugars that people don’t really consider.
(It is surprising how much of our diet consists of sugar.)
And it’s true that sugar is not inherently “bad” per se. BUT! Most of us have created such a stress-filled environment in our body-mind-spirit that the regular consumption of sugars and processed foods is in essence pouring gasoline all over the fire of our stress – and hence increasing inflammation (the cornerstone of your dis-ease).
This is why it can be so beneficial to take a pause from those foods that fuel the stress response and intentionally give your body the space to heal, to calm, to reset.
If you've never taken the opportunity to do a Restart and do the work to set aside the known inflammatory foods, I highly recommend that you give it a try. It can be very eye-opening and transformative.
Restart with us next week as we meet in person at Box of Good (1/12) and online (open to all! - starting Tuesday 1/13) and learn ALL about functional nutrition.
I look forward to taking this life-changing 5 week healing journey with you!
