I’ve fantastic information! I’ve mercury poisoning.
Bear with me.
This submit is for individuals with deep seated well being fears, or individuals who cope with persistent well being points.
One of many causes I used to be obsessive about weight-reduction plan and weight (in addition to inheriting our collective cultural obsession) was my well being.
I used to be recognized with PCOS as a youngster, which is a hormonal ‘syndrome’ mentioned to be brought on by insulin resistance and … poor consuming? Weight achieve? They don’t actually know what causes it, which was my first clue that they have been off on their “treatment” too.
It can trigger the next: imbalanced hormones and cycle, infertility, weight achieve/weight problems, poor pores and skin and pimples, excessive androgens, diabetes… and principally the checklist goes on and on. Totally different individuals have some signs and never others.
However at 14, I used to be advised to hold my weight down by weight-reduction plan. Most individuals are instructed to ‘handle’ this ‘syndrome’ by weight obsession, amongst different pharmaceutical medication.
For a strong 10+ years, I attempted. I went on each food regimen beneath the solar, together with uncooked veganism, paleo, gaps food regimen, atkins, and so forth and so forth and so forth.
I dedicated each ounce of my being to those diets. My ever current (since childhood) binge consuming was my sworn enemy, and I used to be satisfied it was the rationale for my well being issues. I believed if I might solely management my bingeing, I might turn into skinny and wholesome and possibly even ascend this earth, I dunno.
When you’ve learn this web site earlier than, you’ll most likely know that The Fuck It Eating regimen was an epiphany I had on my twenty fourth birthday – that I used to be by no means ever going to be blissful or wholesome if I continued my fixation on meals, that I used to be ruining my metabolism by limiting carbs and being afraid of meals, and that I wanted to let go of my concern of, obsession with, and attachment to weight, with the intention to turn into something shut to regular with meals. And that that was the healthiest means ahead.
It was at this level that I made a decision to let go of my seek for a well being treatment. I knew that TFID was my present vital path.
At that time I nonetheless suffered from irregular cycles, pimples, dangerous pores and skin, insomnia, muscle twitching, low minerals and magnesium, some extra hair, and persistent fatigue. However with the intention to heal my relationship with meals, I used to be going to let go of health perfectionism. Letting go of well being perfectionism was an enormous, and extremely useful a part of The Fuck It Eating regimen. I couldn’t have completed it with out that piece.
I set a basic intention, that if at any level there was one thing I ought to be doing or following when it comes to my well being, that I might comply with any steering.
However for now, the factor I wanted to do was heal my fucking relationship with meals and with weight.
And for five years that’s what I did. And I wrote about it. And it has turn into what’s now The Fuck It Eating regimen. And I stand by it 100%. It healed my thoughts, coronary heart, and in some ways, allowed me to give up to the sluggish path that will heal my physique.
Due to the Fuck It Eating regimen, I’ve normalized my relationship with meals, stabilized my weight, and realized that weight and well being have very little to do with each other (because of Linda Bacon‘s work).
I used to be lastly regular with meals, consuming usually, and craving actually nice and diversified meals, and my well being improved. I slept higher, might metabolize carbs and different meals higher, I had heightened instinct and meals instinct.
Not solely that, however my weight had stabilized low, as a result of I’ve a low genetic weight set level, which beforehand I believed could be the treatment to my well being. But it surely wasn’t. I knew I nonetheless wasn’t absolutely wholesome. I nonetheless suffered from insomnia, nonetheless had reactive pores and skin, and extra not too long ago, I finished with the ability to drink alcohol – sensing lots of congestion in my liver.
I knew it wasn’t from my consuming. I knew my consuming was higher and extra intuitive than ever. However one thing simply wasn’t fairly proper, and I’ve mentioned for years that it’s one thing environmental. However I didn’t know what it was and I didn’t know what to do. So I surrendered to possibly simply being a bit of persistent fatiguey and ruddy skinned and having an irregular cycle for my complete life. I spotted, my life was nice, even when my well being wasn’t wonderful.
Within the final yr I used to be pulled to work with a sure pure physician who makes a speciality of persistent sicknesses*. The primary time we labored collectively, she requested me if there was something I used to be unwilling to do, and I mentioned, “… Um, I’m not keen to go on a food regimen. Until you might be optimistic that it’ll truly assist. I eat actually intuitively, however I’m simply not keen to do one thing arbitrary”.
She mentioned, “Nope, that’s completely nice.”
Nice.
I’ve since examined very excessive for mercury. Mercury is each from environmental sources and inherited from my mom and grandmother’s mercury amalgams (it may be handed in utero). I additionally examined for parasites. And lots of low grade persistent infections (like epstein barr) a few of them presumably from cavities in my jaw left by the massive quantity of dental work I had completed in highschool. And I’ve an impaired immune system.
Principally, I’ve an overload of stuff, and still have a less-efficient genetic cleansing functionality. It’s all presently greater than my liver can naturally deal with alone and not using a little assist to get it going. Not solely that, however my blood simply examined with excessive liver enzymes, which means my liver is a bit of broken. And it’s a chicken-egg scenario. It’s broken due to the overload, and it could actually’t deal with or course of the overload as a result of it’s broken.
Why am I sharing this? Am I making an attempt to scare you? HELL NO.
I’m sharing this as a result of it has nothing to do with meals (except you depend mercury in fish, which once more, like most issues is ok in case you’re not already overloaded. You may also take a heavy metallic ‘binder’, like chlorella, to assist your physique course of it out).
All of my well being issues don’t have anything to do with meals, and principally by no means have.
And the treatment additionally has nothing to do with meals.
All of my dietary supplements are to assist my physique course of and detoxify higher, and to help my immune system.
Principally, meals is the least of our issues. Until after all our relationship with meals is tousled. When you eat usually, meals is most probably not the factor inflicting well being issues except it’s a very acute allergy.
That means: when you’ve got persistent well being issues, you possibly can heal with out weight-reduction plan. And in my opinion, The Fuck It Eating regimen, continues to be your finest guess.
All the well being stuff and physique help I’m doing now? I would by no means have been capable of do any of it whereas I used to be nonetheless frightened of meals and well being and weight.
And simply to verify, I requested my superb physician:
“Okay, so my liver is broken? …. I don’t want to vary my food regimen do I? …I eat lots of dairy?”
“Nope, don’t fear. Simply hold taking the dietary supplements we talked about and doing the issues we mentioned” (Glutathione, Castor Oil Packs, and so forth).
I share this to inform you that when you’ve got persistent well being points, and really feel afraid or dysfunctional with meals due to it, you possibly can and will nonetheless go on The Fuck It Eating regimen. Isn’t that wonderful?
I’ll replace from my sofa whereas I do a castor oil pack and eat cheese.
