9 Lies You Have Been Told About Health and Your Body
Talk about confusing and stressful as hell.
If we followed all this advice we would be loaded with synthetic hormones, energy deficient, eating loads of PUFAs, ridden with disease and digestive issues, starving and malnourished AF.
So what’s the actual truth?
Birth control is classified as a carcinogen. Yes, it’s that harmful and does not get to the root of your symptoms but rather masks them with synthetic hormones.
No you can not get pregnant all month long! You have a tiny window you can get pregnant each cycle, learn the FAM method and ditch the birth control.
Meat, diary and saturated fat are some of the most nutritious foods on planet earth. You could sustain life and thrive off of dairy alone if you needed to, it is that nutritious.
Plant based diets are void of so many bio-available nutrients, are highly estrogenic, loaded with rancid PUFAs, and simply do not work for our physiology.
Sugar and carbs? They are your body’s preferred fuel source. Without it your body will have to go through a super stressful process to create it’s own from other resources. Eliminating sugar and carbs does not fix insulin resistance but actually makes you more insulin resistant.
Seed cycling and cruciferous veggies, take about adding to the estrogenic, hormonal shit storm you are trying to fix in the first place.
Dairy is causing your acne? Come on. Not eating quality dairy, having a history of low carb dieting or an estrogenic plant based diet and that wrecked gut of yours is likely the culprit.
No. You can not lose weight and reverse symptoms in 30 days with some detox or cleanse. Stop falling for that BS and stop using bandaid diets to help with symptoms.
Imagine starving yourself willingly? Fasting is a massive stressor on the female body and will wreck havoc on your hormones. Every study done on fasting and the benefits is done on men. Men don’t have menstrual cycles.
The blanket advice to eat less and exercise more. Talk about ruining your metabolism.
This is why knowledge is power. All this advice seems to work short term, until it doesn’t and you are back at square one.
Once you understand how your body works the rest is history.
