Hi, today I am here to discuss elimination diet and how you can make it successful. So friends, functional medicine, where we work on the cause of the disease, elimination diet is one such such a powerful tool which we have with us, but only if we use it properly.

We all know in elimination diet we eliminate certain foods which have been researched and proven to help us heal our gut. What are the diseases where we use elimination diet? Most commonly we use it for gut problems, constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, autoimmune disorders, for chronic migraines which you have not been able to control with any other medications, for allergies, for asthma, for hormonal balancing, especially in polycystic ovarian syndrome girls.

So let's see, friends. First of all, if you want to do elimination diet successfully, and why I'm emphasizing on this is A lot of patients come to me and say, we are already off gluten, we are already off dairy. And I tell them, no, do it again with me in my group. And you know why? Because you are off dairy, off gluten, but you exactly don't know where that gluten pieces are going inside, and you don't know which are the other foods which you should be eliminating. And what this results in is you lose faith in this such a strong, powerful tool to heal yourself. I'm sure a lot of you know food can be the cause of health, right? And it can be the cause of disease. And this is the premise on which elimination diet works. So first Planning. You have to plan it properly, how you have to do it. Second, always do with a buddy or with an accountability coach. Why? Because at times you might cheat, or you might not realize that you've cheated. And that will screw it up for you because you will not get the results which we want for you to get. Third, you decide a step-by-step approach. Why I am saying this, especially when we do it in children or in people who are severely allergic or have leaky gut for many years, what happens is when they eliminate everything in one go, they go into severe withdrawal symptoms, and that is when they feel they are not able to do it. So this time, I have a lady in the group, right, where for first 8 days she had headache. Did she quit? No. Why? Because I was there with her, handholding her every day and telling her, it's gonna get better tomorrow. And yesterday evening, she sends me a message in the group, My headache is gone and I've never felt this good before. So please remember, when you are doing it alone, you will not be able to achieve this. Children, step by step, they start with avoiding junk foods and processed foods, then avoid gluten, then dairy, and take it like that. Monitor. Unless you monitor and observe, it will not give you the results you, we want. This elimination diet gives me so much of history about what is happening inside your body that, friends, you can't believe it. It is powerful. I love it. I love it.
