Eating five “safe” foods and tracking symptoms isn’t healing your gut – it’s managing your symptoms.
If you’re eating the same few foods, timing meals, keeping food journals, planning outings around bathrooms, or leaning on supplements just to get through a meal… you’re not healing. You’re surviving. And while that may work short-term, it keeps you stuck in “management mode” — which makes true healing feel further and further away.
In this episode of The Gut Health Dialogues, Alyssa breaks down:
- The difference between symptom management vs. real healing
- Why “safe lists” + hyper-tracking keep you trapped
- What actual gut healing looks like
- The mindset shift you need to move from fear to freedom.
Because healing your gut isn’t about avoiding life — it’s about building resilience so you can live it fully again.
