Agree!
Itβs human nature to want a quick fix, and the supplement industry lures many people in with magic bullet promises. Many supplements have physiological impacts to help you on your journey to manage autoimmunity, but they cannot compensate for an inflammatory diet and lifestyle.
Managing autoimmunity takes work and an investment in yourself. This means going on a whole foods anti-inflammatory diet that will likely have you saying goodbye to the foods that soothe and comfort you.
Itβs hard to give up something familiar and comforting, even if itβs ultimately toxic. For my autoimmune patients, this is often gluten and dairy.
It also means ditching the drive-thru habit, planning and prepping whole-food meals, packing lunches, and learning to love the taste of pure filtered water.
An anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle helps autoimmune symptoms to subside or even go into complete remission. Energy returns, skin starts to glow, and gut issues calm down. People are increasingly able to return to who they really are and their life purpose.
Iβm not saying itβs always easy and backslides happen to the best of us. But once you get a taste of what it is to feel good, the caramel latte, fries, or pizza lose their appeal. You might drive by a fast food restaurant or bakery that sells your favorite whatever, and suddenly all you think about are the days of misery that food brings with it.
The longer you feel well, the worse cheats make you feel, and the less willing you are to let the toxic friend into your life to steal your joy.
