In 2021, I felt really tired and bloated. Not unusual for me, but enough that I thought to call my old functional dietician, Meg, who I had seen years ago when I learned I was allergic to dairy and gluten.   What I later found out from Meg was that I had very serious infections (plural) in my gut and we had to treat them immediately (that insurance wouldn't cover).   With Meg's coaching and guidance (she has a really gentle approach that also makes you pay attention), I was able to heal those infections, learn how to cook and start to manage my stress.    I didn't even realized I was stressed because I was so stressed - does that make sense? I took a year off from working with Meg to implement what I had learned and take a break from being so mindful of my stress only to find out that I became sick again (I am as I'm writing this to you)   In this episode, I candidly share the struggles I have been facing, how important it is to recognize the toxic diet /work hard play hard culture we live in and how to slow down so you can speed up your success.
