From conquering digestive problems to achieving restful sleep, Trisha’s journey demonstrates the power of perseverance and lifestyle shifts in improving health.
"Did you feel supported through your ups and downs in the process?"
Nancy: And I remember the biggest thing for you was getting you to sleep. I mean, that was just a massive thing. Your tummy issues kind of resolved really early on, and that was kind of miraculous for you.
Trisha: Yeah. Right after the diet, definitely. That was a big thing.
Nancy: Yeah, the diet. It took a bit, you know, to kind of shift gears. You know, you had to throw stuff out in your kitchen and you had to shop differently.
Trisha: Oh, yeah, that was definitely a change. I was surprised as to how many things I was sensitive to, but it all kind of came back and made sense.
Nancy: Yeah. And then, like, when did you start kind of going, “I think I got it now. I think I really get this.” And this is like this huge shift. And now, I mean the last time I saw you, Trish, it was hilarious. You were like, “Yeah, I’m not going back. This is it for me. I don’t care if people make fun of me. I don’t care if my family thinks I’m like a kook. I’m not going back.” And that was kind of really great to hear. But somewhere along that process, you kind of really got a hold of it, you know?
Trisha: I want to say probably after I did the Candida cleanse, probably like that month following. It just got easier. It was almost like I didn’t have to really think about anything because I had already done the hardest part of it. And then so the diet followed after that—it just kind of worked.
Nancy: Three to four months in, I would say. Right?
Trisha: Yeah, just about. I would say probably, maybe like the four-month mark would be about it.
"How long did it take for your health conditions to feel manageable and then resolve?"
Nancy: How long do you think it took you total for? You’re all of a sudden sleeping through the night, and your mind is feeling better, and your tummy is great, and your energy is great. How long do you think that took?
Trisha: I think after probably six, seven months in. Because I was just in such a bad spot with my sleeping. So that was a tough one for me. But once I started sleeping, I became a brand new person.
Nancy: Yeah. Yeah. It was remarkable to see. I mean, even kind of all of our assessment tools really started showing how much energy you were starting to have available to you. It was pretty great watching it.
Trisha: Yeah, I loved that.
Nancy: Yeah. It is remarkable to watch people change. But you really, really, really shifted gears. It was like, whoa. Who is that person?
Trisha: Honestly, I didn’t think I would ever sleep again. But it was possible.
