Summary
Ever feel like you’re doing all the right things…but your body didn’t get the memo?
I know that feeling—because there was a time in my 40s when my health was in bad shape.
I was 70 lbs overweight and pre-diabetic.
I had migraines and horrible arthritis.
And here’s the part that still shocks people. I felt awful, despite doing everything 'right', including:
- I was in the gym constantly
- Running 30 miles a week
- Eating a low-fat, mostly vegetarian diet
But when I dove into the human microbiome, I realized I’d been taught all the wrong things about what “healthy” really means.
In this episode, I’m going to break down the foods that were silently sabotaging my health back then—and the simple swaps that helped turn everything around.
Plus, I’ll share foods you’re going to love… that will love you back.
If you’ve been working hard and still feel stuck… or you’ve been to countless doctors and still found no answers—listen now.
