It&#8217;s not that we can&#8217;t (and don&#8217;t!) achieve our goal weight, energy and physical stride. It&#8217;s that it can be challenging to stay\u00a0<em>there<\/em>. . . forever.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3a352a;\" align=\"left\">I&#8217;m not talking about the difficulty of\u00a0<em>Sticking With It!<\/em>, of learning how to heed your prescribed dietary plan or known parameters for optimal health. Instead I&#8217;m referring to the changes that occur within our bodies themselves.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3a352a;\" align=\"left\"><strong>As your body changes, so does its dietary needs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3a352a;\" align=\"left\">This elusive\u00a0<em>there<\/em>\u00a0is certainly true for any of us who have autoimmunity or compromised immunity. Yet it&#8217;s also true for those who experience stress or aging.\u00a0<em>Hey, that sounds like all of us.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3a352a;\" align=\"left\"><strong>What it means is that the body is in flux.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3a352a;\" align=\"left\">In autoimmune conditions the times when we know we&#8217;re off track are called &#8220;flares&#8221;. A flare is the sudden onset of symptoms ~ it could be as extreme as a rash, dizziness or an attack of acute fatigue. Yet it may also appear more subtly, as something seeming slightly\u00a0<em>off<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3a352a;\" align=\"left\">While I work hard to manage my own autoimmune thyroid condition (Hashimoto&#8217;s), I know full well that certain things can be triggers that upset the balance of my delicate system.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3a352a;\" align=\"left\">Those triggers can be stress, overwhelm and even air travel. They can be a bite of a food that my body recognizes as toxic, or the cold I caught from my son. And all of a sudden I&#8217;m no longer\u00a0<em>there<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3a352a;\" align=\"left\">I&#8217;ve come to recognize a flare for myself not as some overt expression that completely takes me down, but instead a touch of inflammation somewhere in my body (currently the tender breasts that I struggled with before I determined the diagnosis), a shift in my mood and outlook (away from my usual bright yet stealth disposition), and ultimately, the realization that I have to step up the self-care even more.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3a352a;\" align=\"left\">(<em>Damn<\/em>, I thought I was there!)<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3a352a;\" align=\"left\">In this way, I thank my autoimmune condition. It provides a feedback loop that keeps me highly adaptable. After all,\u00a0<strong>survival of the fittest wasn&#8217;t referring to those with the most toned bodies, but instead to those who were most adaptable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"module text\" style=\"color: #000000;\">\n<table width=\"100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" width=\"530\">\n<div class=\"madmimi-text-container\">\n<p style=\"color: #3a352a;\" align=\"left\">Interestingly, stress doesn&#8217;t just happen outside the body, as a work deadline, a sick kid or parent, or a struggling relationship. Stress can happen\u00a0<em>inside<\/em>\u00a0the body all the time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3a352a;\" align=\"left\"><strong>That&#8217;s why I have two dietary pillars that I return to as a baseline each time I feel the balance of\u00a0<em>there<\/em>\u00a0disrupted.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3a352a;\" align=\"left\">They&#8217;re the foundation of adaptability and self-care.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3a352a;\" align=\"left\">They&#8217;re the same two pillars that I share with my clients as the backbone of health. And I&#8217;m going to share them with you today.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #6b8e23;\" align=\"left\"><strong>Pillar #1: Tend to your gut.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"color: #3a352a;\" align=\"left\">Digestion is where it&#8217;s at. Truly. If your digestion isn&#8217;t working for you, your body is under stress.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #6b8e23;\" align=\"left\"><strong>Pillar #2: Tend to your blood sugar.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"color: #3a352a;\" align=\"left\">As your blood sugar spikes and slumps, based on what you eat and your particular body&#8217;s response, the result is a physiological burden that has both immediate and long term consequences.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3a352a;\" align=\"left\"><strong>Blood sugar management is so important that I decided to host a &#8216;live&#8217; online seminar, Even Keel: The Three Keys To Sustainable Blood Sugar Balance next week.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3a352a;\" align=\"left\">Yup. You can hop on the phone with me in a virtual classroom designed for discussing blood sugar.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3a352a;\" align=\"left\"><strong>Join me by registering here.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3a352a;\" align=\"left\">Mark your calendar and reserve the time to tend to this critical pillar in yours and your family&#8217;s lives:<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #6b8e23;\" align=\"left\">What: Even Keel: The Three Keys To Sustainable Blood Sugar Balance<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"color: #6b8e23;\" align=\"left\">When: Tuesday, June 3rd at 5:30pm PT \/ 8:30pm ET<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"color: #6b8e23;\" align=\"left\">Where: online, from your home, you&#8217;ll just hop on the phone (I&#8217;ll provide the details next week)<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"color: #6b8e23;\" align=\"left\">Why:\u00a0<em>because blood sugar matters!<\/em><\/h2>\n<p style=\"color: #3a352a;\" align=\"left\">Like I said,\u00a0<em>there<\/em>\u00a0can be elusive.
