I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. So, I activated my value of curiosity to see if there were other solutions out there.<\/p>\n<h4>And the research I found suggested that many health problems are caused by food. So, I cut out what has been shown to cause distress in people (like gluten and dairy) to see if I felt a difference.<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"CToWUd a6T\" tabindex=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/ci3.googleusercontent.com\/meips\/ADKq_NZo2XhlqPKUWwuCDnQshuT0bU_fToIy2AMAAanX5x86qIqkmmPUw1clcTVCyT5G3XXgxPH8W4beUv-kca4NUoS_joaCugajpLYo6aQDtk7n73r2LNYqpYHqjfHDYvfQMO6mnxn6A7sNGPHlWdbtBJknwsvhntP-MRI=s0-d-e1-ft#https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/5d0a4840c5dd6be7963fa35c3\/images\/5c78d9ef-e92a-274d-33dd-b0ab7b6983ef.gif\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" data-bit=\"iit\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Before the terrible cookie monster night, I hadn\u2019t had gluten for a couple of months.

A few on a special occasion shouldn\u2019t really matter, right?<\/p>\n<p>Well, my body let me know instantly that gluten was not for me.<\/p>\n<p>And the short-term pleasure I got from eating that cookie was not worth the pain it caused.<\/p>\n<p>Since that experience, I have learned which foods serve me and which don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>And guess what?<\/p>\n<p>All those symptoms I talked about before went away!

They didn\u2019t understand it because they\u2019d never seen such severe symptoms clear up so quickly.<\/p>\n<p>I understood that when you can identify the root cause of your problems and eliminate them, natural healing takes place.<\/p>\n<p>If you find what is causing your body stress (for me, gluten, among other things) and then remove that, you give your body a chance to heal. And your body is amazing at healing itself! Think about if you have a cut. If you don\u2019t keep picking at the scab, your body will heal in time.<\/p>\n<h5>So why is it important?<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Nearly 60% of adult Americans have at least one chronic disease.<\/li>\n<li>90% of the nation\u2019s $3.8 trillion per year healthcare costs can be attributed to people with chronic diseases.<\/li>\n<li>70% of annual deaths are due to chronic diseases.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><strong>But here is the good news:<\/strong>\u00a0Over 90% of chronic diseases are caused by LIFESTYLE,\u00a0<u>not your genes<\/u>.<\/h5>\n<p>That means you can eliminate many issues if you change your lifestyle.<\/p>\n<h4>Now, I am not a doctor (and this is not medical advice). However, I am a certified Holistic Lifestyle and Nutrition Coach. And being that March is National Nutrition Month, I have<strong>\u00a03 Life-Changing Health Tips<\/strong>\u00a0if you are struggling with chronic illness and looking for a new possibility.<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\ud83e\udd10\u00a0Resist Comparison.<\/strong>\u00a0I want to be clear, just because something works for someone else, it doesn\u2019t mean it will necessarily work for you. You have to go on your journey to see what works for you. You might be fine eating gluten. Or you may be like me and realize it doesn\u2019t serve you. You may even find your issues have nothing to do with the food you are eating and are from something completely different. I had to go through much trial and error to find out what worked for me. When you learn to listen to YOUR body&#8217;s messages (not what is happening with other people), you find the answers you are looking for.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u00a0\ud83c\udf0cGive Yourself Space.<\/strong>\u00a0You have to give it space to listen to your body&#8217;s messages. Many people asked how I could eat certain foods and be okay with them my whole life. Well, I wasn\u2019t okay with them. I was just used to feeling terrible and thought that was normal. It wasn\u2019t until I removed a bunch of foods (such as gluten and dairy) that I felt the difference. And it was a huge difference. It was like being unable to see, wearing glasses, and having 20\/20 vision. Once you have that awareness, you get to choose if eating certain foods are worth the distress they cause.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\ud83c\udf4e\u00a0Eat Whole Organic Foods.<\/strong>\u00a0The more nutrients you give your body, the better you are going to feel. These are organic foods you could get from a farm or nature. Fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, legumes, grains, nuts and seeds, etc.\u2714\ufe0fYou want foods with a single ingredient, such as an apple or rice.\u274cYou do not want ultra-processed boxed food with many ingredients you can\u2019t pronounce.\n<p>\u2714\ufe0fYou want organic food that hasn\u2019t been treated with chemicals.<\/p>\n<p>\u274cYou don\u2019t want pesticides, GMOs and chemicals in your body.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last 30 years, we have also seen a massive increase in chronic diseases and health issues in our country that correlate to these toxins. If you want to learn more, check this out.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, organic food is more expensive in grocery stores (I could rant about this), but you can pay the farm now or the pharm(acy) later.<\/p>\n<p>A great way to get cheaper organic food is using a service like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hungryharvest.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/sparkvisionnow.us13.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u%3D5d0a4840c5dd6be7963fa35c3%26id%3De533acfb1b%26e%3D7aba713a2e&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1709650230815000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1CgRYUiR1vpYYC8a6f0Pbz\">Hungry Harvest<\/a>. You can also go to your local farmers market. Many farmers don\u2019t use chemicals, but they don\u2019t call it \u201corganic\u201d because the cost of certification is high. So ask!<\/p>\n<p>Eating whole foods that are not filled with chemicals gives your body the energy and nutrients to feel good and heal itself.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you are someone who is suffering from different ailments and you feel like you have tried everything, I have nothing but empathy and compassion for you. That was me.<\/p>\n<p>And if you are sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, I encourage you to empower yourself by going on a journey to listen to the messages your body is telling you.<\/p>\n<p>To get curious about what outside factors could be causing your stress.<\/p>\n<p>And to reflect on your value of health and what it means to you.<\/p>\n<p>I redefined my values of health and you can too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When you are ready, here are three ways we can help you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/valuescourse.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/sparkvisionnow.us13.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u%3D5d0a4840c5dd6be7963fa35c3%26id%3D970733d4e5%26e%3D7aba713a2e&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1709650230816000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1n8Iar7LCeZC3WEn32mKEk\">Knowing and Living Your Values<\/a>:\u00a0During my 10-day course, you\u2019ll identify your unique values, see where you\u2019re currently activating them, and make small tweaks where you\u2019re not so that every day is filled with purpose.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/valuescourse.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/sparkvisionnow.us13.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u%3D5d0a4840c5dd6be7963fa35c3%26id%3D4ff233ed80%26e%3D7aba713a2e&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1709650230816000&amp;usg=AOvVaw24ckWrIkw2IfGFalKqpHBo\">Join 7,500+ Students Here<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sparkvisionnow.us13.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=5d0a4840c5dd6be7963fa35c3&amp;id=a085e3a5b6&amp;e=7aba713a2e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/sparkvisionnow.us13.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u%3D5d0a4840c5dd6be7963fa35c3%26id%3Da085e3a5b6%26e%3D7aba713a2e&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1709650230816000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2v-nJrCZFbVq2XMIkCMAqE\">.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sparkvisionnow.com\/alignment-coaching\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/sparkvisionnow.us13.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u%3D5d0a4840c5dd6be7963fa35c3%26id%3D33be09ec66%26e%3D7aba713a2e&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1709650230816000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1OfEiLaTtfjwrnb5o2caaD\">Alignment Coaching<\/a>:\u00a0Want to start being your most authentic self?\u00a0 Work with me 1&#215;1 to align with your core values and ignite more well-being without compromising your impact.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sparkvisionnow.com\/coachingapplication\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/sparkvisionnow.us13.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u%3D5d0a4840c5dd6be7963fa35c3%26id%3D802c9036db%26e%3D7aba713a2e&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1709650230816000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1Mw73cygpQKsa7sgIjGbXa\">Fill out this inquiry form to see if we&#8217;re a good fit for one another.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/marybethspeaks.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/sparkvisionnow.us13.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u%3D5d0a4840c5dd6be7963fa35c3%26id%3Dcb90591401%26e%3D7aba713a2e&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1709650230816000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1kbjLg3opqeykiSfb89H9g\">Hire MaryBeth as a Speaker<\/a>:\u00a0Have an all-staff event, annual meeting or conference coming up?
