First post in a few days. I’m tapering since I have a big hike on Saturday, with elevations and altitudes higher than I am used to. Nothing too crazy for folks that are used to the alps, but having only recently arrived from a flat, sea-level city, this will be very exciting for me.

Side note:
About a year ago I learned that I am very gluten intolerant. It has destroyed my gut and caused all sorts of other issues from going undiagnosed for so many years.
I cut gluten out immediately but I am still struggling with the after effects that eat into my quality of life. I’m tired of being that person allergic to everything and with a gut so sensitive that sometimes I don’t sleep for days at a time. I’m tired of being in pain. I’m tired of being afraid to eat.
It’s time to change.
I am embarking on a three month journey into healing my gut for good. Frankly, it might take a lot longer, but 3 months is short enough I can wrap my brain around it. And then I’ll see how I feel.
I’m listing out my plan here and will adapt it to my daily log so that I can keep track and stay accountable.
Here goes…
- No gluten (no brainer)
- No alcohol
- 2 coffee max with an aim to be at 1 cup max by the end of the 3 months. — ridiculously gradual taper, don’t judge me
- No processed food
- No added sugar
- No charcuterie
- Gut-friendly vegetable oils only (avocado, olive, coconut, etc)
- Sprout all grains before eating
- Drink home made bone broth at least 5 days per week.
- Eat 30+ plants per week
Supplements
- AG1
- Licorice root
- Shilajit
- Marshmallow root
- Diatomaceous earth (for one week only, during the second month.)
Many people recommend a 3 - 4 day bone broth fast to help the gut heal faster. I get weird when I don’t eat, and I don’t have much reserves. So I’ll stick with my general rule of only eating when the sun is up. On weekends, I’ll try breaking my fast an hour or two later than usual.
After typing it out it seems pretty reasonable. I can do this. I will do this. I am doing this.
*Rollercoaster of emotions*
… I am so excited to be committing to this! I am ready and willing to change. I am excited to feel healthy and have energy and sleep soundly at night. I am excited to cook good food without eliminating every ingredient — to eat kimchi and sauerkraut and tomatoes and pineapple and spinach. I can’t wait to eat spicy food til my eyes water and slow cook a roast til I can cut it with my fork. I want to brown tomatoes and roast peppers and pickle carrots and beets and eggplants and slather baba ghanoush on everything. And CITRUS. Lemons and limes and grapefruits and oranges and mandarins…
I know I can get there.
I can do this.
3 months is nothing.
Thank you universe for the ability to move into action.
And thank you bees for keeping me accountable.
Today is a beautiful day.
Happy vibes
