1. Day 1 Meals
Which recipes did you decide to try? Which was your favorite? Take pictures and post them in the Facebook group under the Day 1 thread!
2. Thyroid Healing Step: Eliminate trigger foods
The first step in getting rid of the awful symptoms that plague us is to stop doing things that trigger our immune systems. When our immune systems are triggered, we get inflammation throughout our bodies and a more aggressive attack on our poor thyroids.
Think of it like trying to empty an overflowing bathtub with a cup–if you don’t turn off the water, you’re not going to be very successful. So we need to turn off the flow of inflammation first.
What are the triggers that cause our immune systems to overreact?
Unfortunately they are the very things that are common in the Western diet: gluten, soy, dairy, grains. All of these are both irritating to the gut lining when we eat them and triggering when they ‘leak’ into our bloodstream.
All of these are both irritating to the gut lining when we eat them and triggering to our immune systems when they ‘leak’ into our bloodstream.
And you DO NOT have to have antibodies to these foods or have them show up on a food sensitivity test for them to be wrecking havoc in your body.
This week is your opportunity to feel what it’s like to remove those triggers from your diet.
But this lifestyle is about healing, NOT deprivation!
Tomorrow, we’ll talk about all the delicious NOURISHING foods and ingredients we’re adding to help our bodies heal.
