There are 3 Pillars of Health and Longevity that are undisputed because they have been researched beyond compare. There are: nutrition, activity, and self-care. In my personal effort to practice what I preach, I make a focused effort to incorporate each of these into my daily life. Yes, some days/weeks are more in tune than others but - I try. There is no way I am perfect, but planning and using visual cues work for me. Nutrition - I try to bring my lunch but sometimes I go to Chick-Fil-A for a salad. I tend to add things to this salad like a small avocado from home and a few raisins. I'm not a sauce kind of person, but I do use about a quarter of the dressing. Self-Care - I'm a visual learner so I love a good journal (or a few) where I can plan out my days with pens I enjoy. It's a small happy thing to me. Activity - I am active more times than others, I train and I come out of training. But being outside for a walk is the minimum for me. If I can't get out a few days per week, I try to do the home treadmill. Again, it's frequent and I'm not perfect but more times than not counts.

After Elimination of Food during a Flare-Up of IBD or IBS Symptomology, the Important Phase is -> Reintroducing Foods After a Flare: 3 Keys to Success

When you’ve been through a flare, your gut feels fragile (and it is), and it’s tempting to rush back to “normal" food. But stop and consider what you will begin eating. Food reintroduction is where real healing happens—if you do it with strategy.

1. Go One at a Time
Think of it as detective work. Introduce a single food, wait 3 days, and observe how your body responds. Monitor how you feel and journal what you added. This helps you know what truly supports you versus what triggers symptoms.

2. Start Simple, Then Expand
Begin with the least irritating foods (cooked veggies, lean proteins) before moving into more complex foods like raw veggies, grains, or spices. Think of this as moving through your Transition Phase—gradually reclaiming strength.

3. Track Everything
Your memory can play tricks. Write down what you eat, how you feel, energy levels, and any symptoms. This data becomes your blueprint for long-term remission and lifestyle success.

Soon you will be onto the last Phase - Remission.

The Cycle – “Ride the Wave, Don’t Fight It”

IBD (Crohn's and Colitis) moves in cycles: flare → transition → remission.
Fighting the wave drains you. Learning to ride it—by knowing what your body needs in each phase—gives you control.
You can’t stop the tide, but you can learn to surf.

If you are in one of these phases, reach out. I help individulas move through the phases of IBD and IBS to get remission. -> free consult to chat https://calendly.com/phoenixwn/1-1-coaching

Research from Harvard Health, Cleveland Clinic, and peer-reviewed journals in PubMed confirms that lifestyle interventions can significantly improve quality of life for patients with GI conditions.

For IBS, bio-individual eating plans from flare to remission, individualized fiber intake, and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) have been shown to reduce symptoms in up to 70% of patients.

In IBD, while medications are necessary to manage inflammation, adjunctive strategies like an anti-inflammatory diet, regular movement, targeted supplementation, and improved sleep hygiene can reduce flare frequency and severity.

Clinical studies also show that stress, sleep deprivation, and sedentary behavior all directly contribute to intestinal permeability and immune dysregulation, worsening symptoms.

These are modifiable factors that functional and integrative practitioners are now actively targeting as part of a whole-person care approach.

This is a bio-individual pathway. Reach out, you will have a qualified health professional at your service. Who wouldn't want more than 5-10 minutes with doctor to talk about your GI health and get on the right path.
