Why I stopped chasing supplements and modalities, and started listening to my body

in #health8 years ago

I was chasing ailments and symptoms for 5 years… and as it turns out, it only took 24 hours for me to experience relief for one of my “ailments” that I’ve had for nearly a year.

It’s amazing what happened when I stopped fragmenting my body, dividing it up into symptoms, diagnoses, and addressing only one piece at a time.

I was constantly told to “try this” and “try that,” with everyone touting their supplement or modality as the “cure.” I chased this kind of stuff for years and it was highly disappointing.

I have gotten my hopes up and then had my heart broken many times over (not to mention, spent thousands of dollars in the process). My relationship to my health was a constant roller-coaster. And at the end of the day, none of the things I tried were that different from the others. A certain supplement, a certain modality… either way, I was zooming in on only one piece and missing the bigger picture.

I know I’m not the only one who has felt this way - traveling down the endless rabbit hole of a diagnosis, an ailment, or even a modality only to be disappointed yet again.

Would love to hear from you in the comments if you relate!
It’s important that we bring awareness to the health of our body as a WHOLE system!

Yes exactly, read the signals that your body gives you and complement it accordingly with exercises and foods. Although at the core and cellular level our bodies work in a similar manner everyone has a different degree of sensistivty to the environment as well as the food you ingest. Will follow:)

Love it. It's definitely KEY to know how to interpret what the body says too - that was a key step I was missing for so long. Thanks for the follow! Following back :)

you are right one should take care of your body listening to what but above all paying attention to experts maybe your luck is not good because you find specialists who do not meet the conditions of our care but the truth is that when you wake up for Morning Complete you need probiotics and prebiotics to take care of the intestinal flora and not have problems at the beginning of the day.
