How to Stop the Overwhelm and Just Begin Eating Healthier

Change is hard.

Changing our nutrition can be even harder.

Trust me, I understand completely.

Right now, I’m working through the overwhelm of some pretty drastic nutrition changes that I’m making in my own life since I’ve completed many lab tests and visited my doctor.  Based on my labs and symptoms, I’ve learned that I need to focus on healing my gut to allow my body to absorb nutrients more efficiently, healing my digestion and healing my adrenal fatigue syndrome.  I’ve also learned that I carry a gene predisposing me to developing Celiac disease later in life (with my family history of autoimmune disease, I’m at greater risk).  Because I’m a genetic carrier of this gene and at risk of developing an autoimmune disease based on family history, I’ve made the decision to completely remove gluten from my life to prevent development of Celiac disease later in life.  

All of these things are my focus at this stage, then we’ll begin tackling a couple other issues that I’ll share more about later during my journey.  It’s going to be a long road.  

As I learn more and push through my own resistance, I’m going to share with you the journey to help you overcome some blocks, resistance and struggles of your own.

The feelings that I’m having during these changes and learning a completely new way of eating are reminding me exactly how I felt when I started my health and fitness journey 3 and ½ years ago.  It feels like I’m starting all over again with learning about nutrition and what healthy eating looks like for me based on my needs.  All of this is causing me to have to push past some of my own resistance.  

We all experience resistance to change from time to time.  And right now, I’m experiencing this internal resistance and struggle because I know this road to healing isn’t going to be easy.  This resistance is causing me (and can cause all of us) to question if I really want to go through the process of learning a new way of eating.  Learning how to make changes that I never thought I would have to make is hard and frustrating sometimes.  BUT learning the best way to fuel my body with foods appropriate for me during this stage is fun for me.  When I understand the WHY behind something, it’s much easier for me to commit and go all-in to make it happen.  

With all that I’m learning, changing and experiencing with my own nutrition changes, I’m constantly thinking about how I can share with you to help you.
I shared a video the other day with my top 5 Tips to Stop the Overwhelm and Just Begin Making Changes with Nutrition.

These are the same tips that I’m reminding myself of right now (and all day long!!) during my own nutritional changes.

These simple tips are helpful for you if you’re trying to make healthier choices with your own nutrition.

I’ll continue to share with you throughout my journey!
Thanks for spending a little time with me!
