Send us your questions & commentsIn Part 7 of this mini-series, I’m sharing what happened when I reached the point in my health and weight loss journey where my body was clearly starting to respond to the positive changes I was making — but in what felt like a negative way.As I transitioned out of Phase 1 and into Phase 2, about 2-3 days into my plan, I began to notice some uncomfortable symptoms that, for a moment, made me pause and wonder if I had done something wrong while following my plan.But what unfolded next became one of the most eye-opening and empowering parts of my journey.In this episode, I talk about:the early symptoms I experienced and why they can feel confusing or discouraging at first why these reactions are actually common but thankfully short-lived when the body begins a true metabolic resethow my training, education, and years of coaching other women eventually helped me recognize these signs as evidence that change was happening — in the right way, not that something was going wrongwhy this is often the point where many women question themselves, their plan and their ability to stay the course and often lose momentum without the right supportthe specific strategies I used to support my body through these symptoms so they passed quicklyand why this phase became another powerful opportunity to learn how my body communicates with me to always let me know what it needs.This episode is a reminder that healing isn’t linear — especially in the beginning - but it is all part of a beautiful process in which your body is learning how to balance, function and thrive in a new, healthy environment....and it is absolutely worth it to keep moving forward.If you’ve ever experienced early detox symptoms when making signficant changes to your healthy eating and lifestyle routine, or are concerned this might happen when you do,  this episode will help you see those signals through a very different lens and will empower you to stick with it.Ready to get clarity on what's going on inside your body?
