If you are following a healthy diet, but not getting the desired outcome, then you are making these diet-sabotaging mistakes. The secret to your health goals is finding the right energy balance for your individual needs and there are many factors that can affect it. If your diet isn’t bringing you desired results, it may be likely that the problem is a combination of multiple factors.
In a new Instagram post, Nutritional Therapy Practitioner Danielle Hamilton suggested five reasons why your diet isn’t working for you.
You're not optimising your digestion
Digestion is the number 1 healing priority of the body. If we can't break down and absorb nutrients, we will never get healthy. And no, taking a probiotic isn't enough.
You're focused only on diet and not on your lifestyle
Sleep, circadian rhythm, when you eat, movement, stress reduction, sun exposure, hermetic stressors, supporting detox pathways, mindset, community, spirituality, and positivity all are essential factors for healing.
You are spending too much time in a stressed state
Being in a sympathetic state will block digestion, hormone balance, weight loss, healing, and so much more. We need to get into a parasympathetic state more often.
You're eating food sensitivities or inflammatory foods
When you eat foods you're sensitive to, that means that your body is reacting with inflammation. Inflammation in the gut doesn't stay in the gut. It not only blocks nutrient absorption but also the inflammation travels throughout your body via your bloodstream.
You're trying to do it on your own and aren't addressing root causes
When you get all your health advice from different sources, you're not taking a consistent, root cause approach. Try to take advice from a well-qualified expert.
