381: The Elimination Diet Problems No One Talks About (My Own Personal Journey)

Are elimination diets really the holy grail for gut healing and clearer skin—or are they quietly creating problems no one warns you about?

In this personal episode, I share my journey of cutting out gluten, dairy, and eggs for years—and what happened when I finally tried to reintroduce them. Spoiler: it wasn’t smooth. From misinterpreting food sensitivity tests to developing deep food fears, I open up about how “clean eating” ended up taking a toll on my health, happiness, and social life.

If you're stuck on an elimination diet, afraid to reintroduce foods, or wondering if restriction is really the answer—this episode is for you. Let’s bust some myths and get real about what true healing actually looks like.
