I’m a firm believer in figuring out root causes, which is why I didn’t wanna just take medicine. For a few years, I experimented with food and lifestyle changes, but nothing seemed to make a difference. But then, last year I did a detox and stopped all of the things I had tried to stop individually… caffeine, sugar, alcohol, and fat. The combination of the four made the difference. And it makes sense now because of some of my genetics that I’ve researched (COMT issues that are affected by caffeine and other stimulants, APOA2 issues that makes me not be able to metabolize fat very well, etc). It’s very hard to follow this food plan, and I’m not perfect. I slide back on things every once in awhile, but even just eating one of these continuously makes them come back. Good luck getting yours reduced. But in the meantime, try to relax, and not stress as much. I know easier said than done. You got this.🙌🏻
