Have you ever wondered if an elimination diet could help with your menopause symptoms, gut issues, or stubborn weight?

In this episode, Coach Hannah and I break down everything you need to know—who elimination diets are actually for (and who should skip them), how to do one properly, and the right way to reintroduce foods without wrecking your gut.

I’m also sharing my personal experience—how I used an elimination diet to heal my gut and now, to my delight, can eat cheese again! 🧀

If you’re tired of feeling bloated, sluggish, or stuck in a weight loss plateau, this episode is for you!
