I’m here to remind you that your body is incredibly wise. While you might not like the symptoms you are experiencing, they are usually your body’s only way of communicating. I think of it like dealing with kids (or people in general)- typically a bad attitude or tantrum often means that they are upset about something completely unrelated to what is going on in the given moment, right? Similarly, your body will likely sound off some alarms, but it isn’t always in a direct way.
In my upcoming program I will challenge you to be curious, to explore, and even record what your body is saying with any of these systems. And then we can use that list to evaluate change that is personalized for you.
If you are pursuing whole body health, it can be helpful to be curious about the messages your body is sending.💭 Yes, labs and numbers might be part of that larger picture, but nothing is more important than noticing what is going on in your body.
Sure, you might not know why your body is sending certain symptoms, but you can pay attention to whether they change as you make changes. Labs and numbers can take a long time to budge; sometimes the more obvious symptoms are the first to adjust when you start to nourish yourself appropriately.
