At 18, I was on a different health trajectory. And it wasn't because I ate too much or moved too little. It was because I grew up on the ultra processed, low fat, zero sugar diet the food industry normalized in the 90s. Not my parents' fault. I believed it too, until about 10 years ago. That belief cost me years of binge eating, restriction, and chasing Weight Watchers points on the elliptical.
After having 2 kids in my 30s, I am in better shape than when I was at 18. Not because I found more willpower. Because I found the actual problem.
1️⃣reduce ultra processed food. Make more real food meals and when using packaged items, minimize the ingredients
2️⃣reduce seed oils
3️⃣eat more protein before noon
4️⃣have mostly clean sources of protein
5️⃣heal the gut
6️⃣support the hormones
7️⃣prioritize sleep
8️⃣dinner and done
9️⃣lift heavy weights
🔟move after meals, especially dinner
1️⃣1️⃣drink water
1️⃣2️⃣stress less
1️⃣3️⃣read books/listen to podcasts that keep reminding you that the road less traveled is the road you want to stay on
Talking the talk. Walking the walk.
Because I know what it feels good to be in an inflamed, overweight and tired body.
This is not a discipline story. It's a physiology story. I test for the difference. New patient virtual visits booking in September (Michigan only)
