Last week, I completed a self-prescribed 6 protocol to support my liver and gut which made a big difference in my symptoms, health and life in general. Simultaneously, I’ve been reading a book called ‘The Wellness Trap’ by Christy Harrison that has everything I’ve been living by flipped on its head. It has me thinking: how do I live and champion access to the tools for health and well-being while remaining critical of its biases and steer clear of the oppressive schools of thought pushed onto us via the wellness industry? I’m hoping to find a middle ground in my life pursuits, but the book makes a very compelling argument that there may not be so much to stand on.
This one really resonated with me. As someone who would always set New Year’s resolutions and bail on them, I decided to do it differently you this year. I told myself I would try for just one month to let go of something I’ve been considering giving up or experimenting with for a while. January was no booze or refined sugar. This month was no red meat/pork and also a low-spend month. It’s been really interesting to see my habits shift and change. Definitely had a bit of breakthrough of my own on the cooking front thanks to no takeout.
It’s interesting to see how a change in one area can create a ripple outcome we weren’t necessarily expecting.
I always appreciate your Substack and get such value out of it. Thanks for sharing 🥰
