Thank you, great article and I agree with everything you say based on my own personal experience. From 2017 I spent three years doing all kinds of diet restrictions and detoxing. Big focus on nutrition but also did some quite extreme things like Kambo Frog medicine. It certainly is a good detox that's for sure. I was trying to heal a pre cancer, on my skin and it took three years to do it. The medical industrial complex wasn't much help and in the end I just went my own way. My pre cancer has returned and I am managing it without bothering with any testing. Just following my own body which gives clear messages these days because I did a thorough detox. Like a 7 day juice fast with coffee enemas and colonic irrigation also. Full on and challenging at times but worth the journey. I seem to have ended up with a diet where I have a little bit of everything, including fish sometimes, but no red meat or chicken. Lots of fruit and veggies, mushrooms, some soy like tempe and beans and legumes. I have a supplement routine that feels right and adjust it intuitively as I feel to. I eat a bit of dairy, mostly organic cheddar cheese when I do and don't have it when my body doesn't want it.
I love what you are saying about eating for where you are in your life, it is so true. There is no diet that is right for everyone, just the one that is right for you now. And I have finally brought intermittent fasting into my routine for about 2 weeks now. I work night shifts so I have to be a bit flexible but it is going well so far. My body is getting used to being empty for part of the day and it seems to give me more energy at least some of the time. There's another big factor too in how our more vulnerable parts show up when there is more stress in the environment. But if you can manage to eat mostly whole foods and provide your body with adequate nutrition you have a fighting chance. So glad to have found your substack and look forward to reading more. (-:

It sounds like you are very in tune with your body and that is key. If we listen, our body will guide us to what it needs.
