Circa 2014, I was that girl at the local health food store ordering a green smoothie (extra acai, add spirulina please). Iād sip on my questionable-tasting drink, convinced I was glowing from the inside out. The epitome of health, right?
Meanwhile, I never stopped to question why I was basically painting my shower walls with my hair, why I was inflamed no matter how ācleanā my diet was, why I only had a BM maybe 3x a week, or why I was exhausted 24/7. I read spirulina was a superfood, so shouldnāt I have been feeling super?
Part of me wishes I could go back in time and shove some steak down my throat⦠but honestly, if I did, I probably wouldnāt be writing this right now. Itās funny to think I was once a die-hard pescatarian with vegan beliefs, and now my diet is built around nutrient-dense animal foods.
The glow I was chasing back then? I finally see it now. No spirulina required.
When we return to tradition and an ancestral way of eating/living (as best we can), we start to see clearly what our bodies actually need to fuel and heal.
So if youāre currently āme circa 2014,ā let this be your wake-up call.
And if youāve had a similar experience, please share your story, I canāt be the only one who was that brainwashed, right? lol š
