Hello Reader,

Recently I was chatting with a friend. As it often does in my world, our conversation turned to nutrition and health. She mentioned that her husband has been living with stomach discomfort, food sensitivities, and sinus issues his entire life. (He’s currently in his 50’s)

​
While she is very much into holistic medicine, he’s content with simply treating his symptoms using a variety of antacids and allergy medicines. He’s learnt to live with these issues and they aren’t a big deal to him.

​
My natural instinct was to jump in with advice and holistic remedies, but I resisted the temptation. He wasn’t interested in digging deeper into root causes and making changes to his diet.

​
The reality is, this is his “normal”. It reminded me that what is considered “normal” is different for everyone, and change only comes when there’s a favorable risk-reward balance.

​
It also made me wonder: What is his body trying to tell him? Are these symptoms warning signs of a deeper health challenge brewing under the surface?

​
If you’ve been living with annoying symptoms for years, consider what your body might be trying to tell you. Be curious.

​
Listening to your body now might save you from bigger struggles in the future.

Sending you love & light,

Dora
