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!
