Every day I am thrilled to read the testimonials of people putting their auto-immune diseases in remission thanks to The Metabolism Plan. The reason why so many auto-immune disease sufferers find their symptoms go into remission is that this protocol addresses so many of the factors that researchers believe are at the root cause.
Researchers note that addressing these factors are key to putting your disease into remission: inflammation, unbalanced hormones, leaky gut and thyroid function. The great news is that something as simple as eating the foods that work for your chemistry can do this! You need to eat a bio-individual (based on your personal chemistry) low inflammatory diet. You see what’s inflammatory for me may be perfectly fine for you. I can’t eat eggs, chickpeas or fish, while these foods may work beautifully for your body! That’s why you have tried so many diets and have only had minimal success for short periods of time.
The Metabolism Plan helps you find the foods and exercise that work for you and boosts your metabolism/thyroid function. This allows your body to heal quickly. It’s chemistry, not calories, that will get you to your optimal weight and health.
Foods that cause inflammation follow this negative feedback loop:
On The Metabolism Plan you will find that by eating the least inflammatory foods that literally in days your hormones, thyroid, gut function and adrenals will start to balance. The Plan will help you identify and remove foods that are your personal food sensitivities that cause inflammation and leaky gut syndrome.
Leaky Gut and The Impact of Diet For Healing
According to Dr Andrew Weil, leaky gut occurs when your intestinal lining is damaged from eating inflammatory foods. This leads to bacteria, toxins and partially digested too to leak into your bloodstream. Your blood doesn’t expect these toxins to be there and goes on constant high alert and this causes autoimmune disease. His advice? Go on an anti-inflammatory diet to get better.
So, as you can see, one of the most important factors with putting auto-immune diseases into remission, is identifying and removing the foods that cause inflammation. Inflammation is not only a huge trigger for exacerbating symptoms, but also a fetter at to your body being able to heal. An inflammatory response can last for up to 72 hours and this diverts your body from healing to instead diverting that energy to fight inflammation. This keeps you in a perpetual cycle of illness, fatigue and fighting weight gain.
Could You Have Inflammation?
Every person that has ever come to my clinic is eating at least 3 “healthy” foods that cause inflammation. Foods like salmon, asparagus, yogurt, turkey, strawberries and oatmeal are 85% reactive, which means that for 85% of the population over the age of 35, these “health” foods trigger premature aging, inflammation, disease and weight gain. You can find the foods that don’t work for your chemistry, eliminate them and literally within days start to restore your body’s energy to what it wants to do, and that’s heal.
GR: “A few years ago I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. I ended up seeing a doctor that truly acted as though he wanted to help me. But the one thing he kept saying to me was, “This has never been shown to be affected by diet.” And I believed him. I tried every prescription he could give me. Nothing worked. Life was miserable for me! He was about to put me on a steroid and I was determined not to go that route. I wanted to try everything else first. A co-worker told me about The Plan because she knows that I am into natural healing and diet. Based on my experience with colitis and diet, the things I learned through The Plan made sense to me! I thought this could work!
I ended up shedding 20 lbs my first time through it. That’s 20 lbs by doing nothing other than changing my eating! I sleep better, I have more energy, and my skin looks better. I didn’t even realize how much bloat and swelling I was suffering from until it all went away on The Plan. But far and away, the greatest change has been in my colitis. The Plan has provided me with a relief that I never knew I could achieve. I can go jogging again without having to run laps around a restroom! I can sleep through the night without having to get up to use a restroom. If you don’t have colitis, you will never understand how much these little things mean to someone!”
MP: “When I started TP 4 weeks ago, I was 17 lb heavier, but more importantly I was in the middle of the worst lupus flare of my life. I was diagnosed at age 25, and by now at age 33 the symptoms and med side effects were starting to control my life. By week 3, I was able to taper completely off of my steroids and have cut my other medications in half. I haven’t had a headache in a month, and I was getting 2 to 3 migraines a week – some so severe I would end up in the hospital.
My husband has been my support and is also doing TP with me. He has lost 23 lb and has been able to stop his antidepressant and antihistamine prescription meds.
We both have more energy, more knowledge, and better attitudes about food and about life in general than we have had in a LONG time. We are so grateful for this book and the results we’ve seen! ”
SG: I healed my Hashimoto’s Disease (thyroid) with this process and dropped about 50 pounds too! And lost about 8 sizes as well. I am 42, but people swear I don’t look a day over 30! Even my hubby says I look like I am in my 20s! Truly, The Plan is the way to a life of healthy living and proper weight management.
Through my one year process, I had my doctor monitor my blood work. She was so impressed with the results, she now recommends the book to her patients too! I am living proof that this process works for EVERYONE, not just for me, for all who decide to take this trek and stick with it for a year. I promise you, it will change your life!”
