When I was diagnosed with Leaky Gut Syndrome, Adrenal Fatigue, Hashimoto’s Hypothyroidism, chronic constipation, acute anxiety, chronic urinary tract infections and more … I wasn’t looking to change the way I ate.
I wasn’t looking to align with any particular dietary style. And I surely wasn’t looking to go against the grain and eat differently from everyone I knew, including all my family and friends.
I was simply looking for a way to feel better.
My body was sick and I needed to find a way to feel good again.
After spending hours in exam rooms, going from doctor to doctor for each different symptom, it made sense to me to look beyond the symptoms I experienced and start looking at why I felt so poorly.
That’s when I discovered that reclaiming my health was really very simple, just basic common sense.
Some foods are very hard for the body to digest and literally cause obstruction within, and some do not.
Some foods generate energy. Some don’t.
Some foods elevate. Some don’t.
Some foods cause blockage. Some don’t.
Beyond family traditions and cultural norms, personal favorites and the latest gastronomic obsession, food is, in it’s most primal sense, fuel to help us be who we want to be, what we most want to create, what we most want to feel and experience and accomplish.
My impetus was never about food, but only about feeling better.
But as I began to feel better, I began to use food as fuel to leverage opportunities and experiences that would have otherwise likely never happened.
That’s when I discovered that self-mastery was the lowest common denominator for me to be my best me.
That when I am aligned with my highest self, when I am crystal clear on what matters most to me, when I own my power and am in the driver’s seat of my life rather than reacting to people, circumstances and events, every choice I make flows from an empowered place. I am self-possessed. Clear.
After that revelation — how could I continue eat foods that do not serve me and my larger goals if I am aligned with my highest self?
Thus began my life long obsession with using food to create vibrant health, increase productivity and live an extraordinary life.
So, think about what you have been fueling your body with lately and ask yourself:
Do your food choices serve you?
Do the foods you eat energize and stimulate your mind and creativity and highest self?
Do others in your life inspire you to be your very best you?
Could you look and feel better for your age?
And lastly, what is your lowest, common-denominator? What is that single thing that pulls you towards being, looking and feeling your very best you?
Did your answers to any of the above surprise you?
