We all get off track sometimes. Life gets busy, we indulge a little too much during the holidays, or we ignore the messages our body is sending us to sleep more and eat better. This can leave us feeling super sluggish, run-down, or unable to think clearly. This is what I call FLC syndrome? It’s when you feel like crap!

In today’s episode, we feature four segments from The Doctor’s Farmacy Health Bites series about hitting the reset button on our diet and lifestyle choices and establishing new behaviors for our overall wellbeing.

Reintroduce foods after detox one group at a time

When reintroducing foods after an elimination diet, add back only one food group at a time for three days to accurately determine how your body reacts to it.

Uncover hidden sugars in food products

Food companies often use four or five different types of sugar in a single product so that sugar does not have to be listed as the first ingredient on the label.

Beware sugar alcohols to prevent bloating and digestive issues

Sugar alcohols, often found in 'health foods' and ending in '-ol' like erythritol or xylitol, are not absorbed well and can cause significant bloating, gas, and diarrhea by feeding gut bacteria.
