Is Whole30 for you? In this episode with Melissa Urban, Co-Founder of Whole 30, we embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, exploring the intricate details of the Whole30 diet and beyond. We engage in a thought-provoking conversation on the self-experimentation versus elimination mindset, as well as the re-introduction phase of the diet taking centre stage. We dissect this crucial aspect, shedding light on the importance of reintroducing foods and the impact it can have on your overall health. Furthermore, we emphasize the significance of reading labels, uncover the hidden truths behind food labels and learn how this practice can empower you to make informed dietary choices. Then, we explore the concept of Food Freedom while still aspiring for the results of the Whole30, evaluate whether one can stick to a Whole30 diet in the long run, and dive into the accountability factor and the power of the Group Whole30 experience. Finally, we discuss creating healthy boundaries without significantly changing your relationships with others and uncover why it's crucial to speak openly about concussions. Let's dive in!
