Have you ever been told something you knew deep down was true but just weren’t ready to hear?
Well, that happened to me yesterday—and yes, I got hung up on because of it. But here’s the thing: I’m not even mad. In fact, this moment holds a powerful lesson about healing, food sensitivities, and why your gut health journey might feel so hard. Let’s talk about it.
Wait—What Even Is Gut Health? (Let’s Get Real for a Second)
Look, gut health gets tossed around everywhere these days—like the latest trendy buzzword. But what does it actually mean? Let’s break it down.
Your gut isn’t just your stomach. Nope. It’s a highly complex ecosystem—like a jungle, a bustling city, and a chemistry lab all in one. We’re talking:
💩 30+ feet of intestines twisting and turning like a slip-n-slide at a kid's birthday party.
🦠 Trillions of bacteria (yep, you’re more microbe than human) having parties, turf wars, and gossip sessions 24/7.
🔥 Digestive acids that could dissolve metal (seriously, your stomach lining regenerates every few days just to keep up).
💡 Neurons—yes, brain cells! Your gut has its own nervous system (the enteric nervous system), earning it the title of your second brain.
And when this system is out of whack? It’s like setting a dumpster fire in that jungle.
💥 Think bloating, brain fog, migraines, anxiety, skin issues, joint pain—basically, a total body rebellion. That’s why gut health isn’t just about digestion; it affects literally everything.
The Hard Truth That Led to a Hang-Up
This conversation started like many others. We connected well, talked about her symptoms—bloating, weight gain, feeling sick for days after eating certain foods. All things I hear from so many women who feel stuck and frustrated with their health.
But then, it happened. I told her something she wasn’t ready to hear:👉 She had to give up the dairy creamer in her coffee.
Now, you might be thinking, “It’s just creamer. What’s the big deal?”But for her, it was a big deal. That one small thing was her comfort, her routine. Even though she knew it made her feel terrible, she wasn’t ready to let it go. And honestly? I get it.
Why We Hold Onto the Things That Hurt Us
This wasn’t just about coffee creamer. It’s about how we all have that one thing we cling to, even when we know it’s part of the problem. For some, it’s bread. For others, it’s sugar. For her, it was dairy.
But here’s the non-negotiable truth:
💡 If something is making you sick, it has to go—at least for now.
Gut healing isn’t about punishment; it’s about giving your body the chance to reset. And sometimes, that means stepping away from the things you love most. But that doesn’t mean forever. It just means creating space for healing.
Why Gut Healing Isn’t a One-Size-Fits-All Plan
One thing that also frustrated her? I couldn’t give her a week-by-week plan. And here’s why:
🛣️ Every healing journey is unique.
I have a road map, sure—but your body gets to dictate the path. For some, it’s a few weeks in reset mode; for others, it takes longer. What works for one person might not work for another. This isn’t a cookie-cutter process because you’re not a cookie-cutter person.
The Game-Changer: A Food & Symptom Log
Now, here’s where things get powerful.
📓 A food and symptom log can change everything.
Why? Because your body doesn’t lie—especially when you put things in black and white. Writing down what you eat, how you feel afterward, and even emotional triggers can reveal patterns you never saw coming.

Why Resistance Happens (and How to Get Unstuck)
Let’s be real: Healing is hard, especially when you feel like you’ve tried everything. But the truth is, resistance shows up when we’re close to a breakthrough. If you’ve been stuck, consider:
