Feel Good Friday: "I should know this."
Hi Everyone!
Jeanna stole my comic for the day (see this post, ha ha https://www.skool.com/lifestyle-evolution/hydration-feel-good-friday-edition?p=bdb43afe), but I actually have a Feel Good that is timely for me, and I hope helpful to you.
I am one of the team's functional health coaches. I have been living a healthy lifestyle with regard to eating whole foods, protecting my sleep, moving my body, managing stress, getting outside, leaning into my support systems - all the things we're supposed to do - for many years.
And for many years, I've seen my inflammatory markers in my blood work creeping up, my cholesterol numbers creeping up, now to the point where I'm growing concerned. I have made dietary and supplement changes that all the "experts" suggest, and nothing is budging. I know it's not my fault, as I'm focused and compliant. There is something else going on.
The standard medical line is "you need to take a statin." I'm not totally against that, as it might be the lesser of all the evils, but given that they aren't risk-free, I would prefer to understand the REASONS for the worsening markers, before I slap a band-aid on it. I still want to see if there is something that I can do, or if there is some other underlying cause that conventional medicine simply doesn't look for.
I've known Dr. Steve for years. I've been with Lifestyle Evolution almost 3 years, and now I'm realizing it's my turn. 😆 So when Jeanna started the thread here of "What do you want to ask a nutritionist?" I responded with what's the scoop when you switch to a whole food, lower carb diet, and things change with your cholesterol?
It led to a string of responses. I thought about whether I wanted to put my own personal information out here, but there is no shame in the fact that we are all bio-individual, bodies are complex, and bodies change. I am a post-menopausal woman with Hashimoto's (an autoimmune thyroid disorder). It is extremely well-managed through diet and lifestyle, but things have changed. I am stuck, and I need help.
The FEEL GOOD piece of this is your invitation to check out this thread: https://www.skool.com/lifestyle-evolution/skool-member-question?p=fada5910, and to realize that when you work with Lifestyle Evolution in the full program, this is the kind of attention to detail that you will get. Dr. Steve doesn't do cookie cutter. There is no shame in whatever struggle you have with your body! We all understand that most of you here have tried a million things and you haven't been successful. The FEEL GOOD moment here is that there is HOPE. Dr. Steve will dive deeper than you could ever have imagined, and he's not going to stop until there is some clarity on what the barriers are, and until possible solutions emerge. Yes, we need to be compliant, but there's always a new direction to take. I'm excited to find mine with his help.
You can find yours too. Welcome to Lifestyle Evolution. 🥰 Prepare to have your mind blown!
