S1:E30 You are NOT Dying

I got a text this week from a friend on day three of her reset. And she said... "I am DYING."Hungry and irritable on Saturday. A headache she could not shake on Sunday. By Monday she was fully convinced her body was shutting down.Friend... she is so dramatic. Somebody hand this woman an Emmy.In this episode I walk through four things that might actually be going on when you feel like you cannot survive the first few days of a health reset — and spoiler, none of them are dying. Maybe you need a few adjustments if you are very active. Maybe you are just feeling real hunger, which is normal. Maybe you are experiencing something called dry drunk syndrome, a real recovery term for the restlessness that shows up when you remove a coping mechanism without doing the emotional work underneath it. Or maybe that physical hunger is triggering something deeper — an emotional, spiritual, or mental hunger worth paying attention to.Whatever the reason, you are not dying.What we cover:Why the first few days of any reset feel dramatically worse than they actually areWhen to make practical adjustments like electrolytes and extra protein for active bodiesHunger as a normal feeling, not an emergencyDry drunk syndrome and why it applies to way more than alcoholThe deeper emotional or spiritual hunger that physical hunger can sometimes triggerYour tiny step from this episode:Run through the four questions. Do you need more electrolytes or protein? Are you just physically hungry? Are you feeling restless because you removed a coping mechanism? Or is something deeper trying to get your attention?
