Short FAQ-style guidance explaining that foods causing immune reactions (allergies or intolerances) must be removed temporarily to allow gut healing. Intolerances can change over time; strict avoidance for an initial 3–6 month period is recommended to permit recovery, after which foods are gradually reintroduced. Coaches emphasize framing choices as "I shouldn't" with reasons (symptom consequences) to support behavior change rather than only forbidding foods.
Before clients come to tnt, one of the first things that they think about is, what am I going to have to get rid of? The answer to that question is pretty simple. If you have an immune reaction to a food, you either have an allergy or an intolerance to that food, then we're going to tell you those foods got to go, at least until we can heal the problem. Food intolerances change over time, so as we heal the gut, they become less. If you don't take them out completely initially for three to six months, your gut will never heal, and you'll develop more and more and more immune intolerances. So those foods will absolutely have to go for a period of time, and then we will reinitiate them in over time. There are other foods that we say cut them down, cut them back, or get rid of them. And instead of saying what you can't and can't do, our coaches work really, really hard with you so that you understand what you should and you shouldn't do. Very, very different conversation when we change it to I shouldn't, and this is why I shouldn't. That brownie is always going to look good. It always is. But how's it gonna make you feel tomorrow? I know I shouldn't do that, and it makes me feel bad. It's gonna make me want to do it less and less often.
