Great Story: Maryon
I have always believed the food is medicine. If I could find the right diet, I knew I could be healthy. I tried many diets over the years, trying to find the lifestyle diet that would heal my gut and keep me in good health, but after six months of it, they all failed. I heard Unique’s story about healing her severe Crohn’s disease from a shout-out on a podcast.
I had been struggling with digestive issues all of my life, and many other health issues that I believed began in the gut (don’t they all?). They included IBS, Reflux, constant belching, daily diarrhea, RLS (Restless Legs Syndrome) that had increased in intensity and frequency, arthritis pain, trouble sleeping, moodiness and fits of rage, and was suddenly having acne and had lost my hair on both sides of my head. These issues had become more concerning and frustrating, and I knew if I didn’t do something, I might soon be facing a real medical emergency that I wanted to avoid. If Unique could heal her gut from Crohn’s disease, she might have the answer to healing mine, and I signed up for her eight week Gut Repair.
I found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow with this diet protocol. I started to feel better immediately. My diarrhea stopped by the second day. I am now sleeping soundly and through the night. The RLS took a bit longer, but as the weeks went by, the severity of them lessened, and now in my 10th week of the protocol, they are nearly gone (there is just a hint of them still). My emotional state leveled out, and I learned to eat beans whenever Adrenalin gets activated, which settles me right down. The IBS and Reflux have also settled down. The belching is still in progress, but it isn’t every day all day like it was. Recently, there have been belch free days. That’s a first. My skin cleared up, and it looks like my hair is starting to grow in, but I think that will take longer, possibly several more months for that to fully happen. In the meantime, my hair is soft, shiny, and bouncy, better than it’s ever been. I receive comments on how good my skin looks, and I feel like I am growing younger from the inside out. I feel balanced and calm with a wonderful overall sense of wellbeing. An unintended consequence of the diet protocol was in helping me overcome my addictions, not only to sugar and all its forms but to unhealthy behaviors. I even gained the strength and clarity to leave a relationship that was not in my best interest. Best of all, I lost weight — the extra 15 lbs. I couldn’t shake no matter what I did were gone by the end of the 8 weeks. My body shed weight so quickly and easily. This diet has truly changed my life, and I am so grateful to it and Unique for her expert guidance and encouragement. I plan to be on this diet for the rest of my life as a lifestyle.
