My Hormone Healing Journey: The Power of Food as Medicine

Recently, I experienced an unexpected turn in my hormone healing journey, which led me to a profound realization about the power of food as medicine. To my surprise, I started my period a whole seven days early. Before this, I had been under the impression that my hormones were perfectly balanced. When these symptoms surfaced, my initial thought was that I had somehow disrupted this balance.

However, I was quickly reminded of an essential lesson I've learned through the Nutritional Therapy Association — healing is rarely a linear journey. As your body evolves and heals, it can stir up certain issues, which might temporarily make you feel worse.

This recent experience served as a stark reminder of the potent medicinal properties of food. Interestingly, I haven't altered what I'm eating in the slightest. The sole change I've made in this experiment is the timing of when I consume more or less carbs and fat. The fact that these minor tweaks to my diet could incite such significant hormonal shifts is genuinely intriguing.

I've resolved to continue with my personal experiment for a few more months, remaining hopeful that this is but a temporary blip in the healing process. Should it yield positive results, I promise to share more details. Once again, this journey has underscored the fact that food truly is our most powerful medicine.
