Today’s CHEATCODE: Bio-Individuality:
In order to truly know what diet and lifestyle work for you, your body and your health, there’s one simple source to refer to – YOU.
By listening to your body’s cues, you are essentially accessing bio-individuality.
Bio-individuality means there is not a one-size-fits-all diet
each person is a unique individual with highly individualized nutritional requirements.
each individual body will differ in their nutritional needs as a result of their external and internal factors like genetics, the foods we eat, our emotional thoughts, lifestyle patterns, and our surrounding physical environment.
How Bio-Individuality Affects Diet:
Every system in the body can be impacted by what we eat. The health of our brain, digestive system, musculoskeletal system, skin, energy, mood, and sleep are just a few areas of health that can be impacted when we experience nutrition imbalances.
ask yourself some serious questions:
Am I sleeping enough?
Am I moving my body?
Do I have loving caring relationships?
Do I have a loving relationship with myself?
Am I nourishing my body through my food choices?
One of the easiest ways to make a shift in eating habits is by adopting a whole foods focus approach. Focusing on eating whole foods with lots of color and variety is a great place to start.
Consider reducing intake of foods with ingredients you can’t recognize or pronounce, especially those high in refined sugar.
A standard elimination diet that involves temporary removal of beef, chocolate, coffee, corn, dairy, eggs, gluten, peanuts, pork, processed meats, shellfish, soda, soy and sugar (in some cases other nuts and seeds) may also be of support.
You can also consider the following factors that may suggest a food doesn’t sit well with you:
Digestive discomforts such as acid reflux, bloating, gas and urgent bowel movements, Fatigue after eating, Headaches or migraines, Hives, Itchiness
Through this process of exploration, it is important to remember to be kind to yourself and your body while avoiding judgment. Give yourself some grace!
