*CONTENT NOTE: In this episode, there is mention of suicidal thoughts*

Seven years ago I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis.  It took several years to get the diagnosis.  I used to be a personal trainer, a figure competitor, and marathon runner.  I was starting to get hit by debilitating fatigue, extremely painful and heavy periods, and eventually bloody diarrhea, 10-15 times a day.  I had already been on and off elimination diets for competitions so removing food groups wasn’t too difficult, but it didn’t really help.  I was keeping myself busy with multiple jobs, holding myself together with cortisol and caffeine and once I stopped, I could not get going again.

It wasn’t until I was tested for food allergies and found the Paleo anti-inflammatory diet that I was able to finally start reversing the symptoms and reach remission.

Your mileage may vary! My work is all about customizing to the individual to find a protocol that works for their unique biochemical situation, so don’t take my story as a cure-all protocol to be followed blindly.
