How to take action after listening to this episode:

• Consider taking dairy out of your diet for 2 weeks.  I know it can seem hard, but in the grand scheme of things, 2 weeks is nothing, and it’s SO worth it to see if your body is tolerating dairy and how great you might feel without it!  Don’t overcomplicate it – just choose a start date, and make a note on your calendar of when it ends.  You’ll want to reintroduce really intentionally – actually having a glass of milk or a bowl of ice cream, not just a tiny sprinkle of cheese somewhere.  This will help you see if it’s an issue.  If you need any product substitute recommendations, DM me on Instagram @thelyonsshare and I’ll be happy to help out!

  Also … you heard a bit about Victoria’s experience in Revitalize, the health accelerator that gives you everything you need to go from anxious about your health to empowered, confident, and energized.  The program is finally opening back up to new Revelers, and I’d love to have you in the group!  If you’re interested, let’s chat – I’m offering quick one-to-one calls for anyone interested, where we’ll talk about your health goals and see if you’re the right fit for Revitalize.  You can get more information and sign up at http://www.thelyonsshare.org/revitalize.  Can’t wait to chat soon, and help you finally make health something you look FORWARD to!
