Is it any coincidence all my clients fall in this

Is it any coincidence all my clients fall in this middle area? I think not.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Keep thinking it’s all about the food and supplements… but eventually, you need to call yourself out.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What does your personality have to do with your health? Let's look at it physically, mentally, and energetically
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Physically: Being in a constant state of fight/flight/freeze or fawn (people-pleasing and being a doormat)… means you’re stuck in the opposite state you need to be in for healing, detoxing, digesting (parasympathetic state)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These behaviors can be causing more inflammation in your body, making you feel like you're fighting an uphill battle with your health.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Mentally: Overcorrecting with diet, beating yourself up when you “fall off” or “didn’t reintroduce right”, more food fear, more obsessing, more rushing.. how is your body supposed to heal like that? How are you supposed to find any joy or peace again? These blind spots are keeping you stuck. You won’t be able to zoom out and address the larger piece of your health puzzle if you’re stuck in one spot.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Energetically: The attitude and mindset you bring to this dictates your experience. Perception is everything. If you’re convinced you’re trying to fix your broken body, rushing to remission, or riding a rollercoaster of going really hard with a new intervention only to burnout… you’ll keep up on this cycle and nothing you try will work.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Feel seen yet?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I lovingly but bluntly call my clients out on this stuff all the time and help them shift their mindset, address gut-brain issues and find their groove with nutrition and lifestyle without the obsession and way more peace so they can actually feel like themselves again.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💬DM me when you're ready to get this type of support for yourself to breakthrough in your healing journey, I have a few more spots left!

Is your fish oil supplement working? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

Is your fish oil supplement working?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💊Supplementing with fish oil (EFA/DHA) is a great way to support your body with essential fatty acids... ALL your cells are wrapped in fat and we NEED it for everything. It can support reducing inflammation, stronger digestion, mood, energy, hair/skin/nails, etc. and more balanced hormones.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But how many times have you gotten a pill that you keep burping up or doesn't sit well?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Firstly... Make sure yours isn't rancid (it's oil, it happens)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here's how to check:
Pierce your gel tab and smell it.
**It should NOT be overly “fishy” or it may have gone rancid (just like when you pick out fish, it should smell more like ocean than fishy if it’s fresh)⁣
Store it in the refrigerator so it will last longer and stay fresh.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Secondly...
🔑Another key is that you are absorbing the fats that you eat! If this is an issue for you (and especially if you have gallbladder issues or it was removed...) supplement with digestive enzymes and biliary support for help. 💊
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Save this for later and send to a friend who needs to not swallow rancid fish oil pills, please! 😂 ⁣

There's no cure… ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ …

There's no cure…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
…for chronic illness. So what are you rushing towards?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
((If you think it sounds bleak to say there’s no cure, remember this … there’s no cure for the common cold either. ))
-----
So maybe it’s time to see this as the journey it is. And to see all it can GIVE you vs. take away.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You got this. You’re enough right now as you are. There’s no rush, there’s no “perfect”, there’s just you practicing self-love and compassion and enjoying today right now.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
More information doesn't equal more support, and mindset is everything. I have a few spots left in my nutritional therapy coaching program, In Tune Method, for JUNE.

"Do I have to follow an elimination diet protocol

"Do I have to follow an elimination diet protocol forever?"
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Short answer: NO.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While elimination diets are SHORT TERM, and we don't want to be on them for too long, we do want to know the tools to recognize our triggers, how to remove them, and how to heal and challenge reintroductions.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When it feels overwhelming like so many triggers could be at work... a wide-swipe elimination diet can help provide relief if you're ready to take that on. But just as much as eliminations are a part of it, so are REINTRODUCTIONS and they have to be planned out as part of it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you've been through the ringer with elimination diets and feel like you can't do it again, simply tuning into your body with a food/mood journal to remove suspected triggers out for a short while, as you work on some healing can be just the thing you need! And that way you're greatly reducing the culprits without causing more stress.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How do you REINTRODUCE in either scenario? Here are my tips.

1. Organize your calendar and decide what you're trying to reintroduce, spacing the foods out by 3 days each.

2. Try a serving of the food ALONE in it's purest form.

3. Keep a food/mood journal along the way and really tune in and pay attention to your body's reactions (mental/physical, etc.) - jot down any anomalies like other stressors that might be at play and try your best to select a time that you're not traveling, on your period, or something else that would obviously throw digestion or hormones off.

4. Take it easy on yourself and know you can always pause/come back to it. Laugh at yourself. Find your bio-individuality!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Trust that you'll know what's best for you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you're specifically reintroducing on AIP, there are more nuances and recommendations. Take a look at my AIP Reintroduction Guide 👉 https://foodbymars.kartra.com/page/aip-reintro
