122. My Current Elimination Diet (+ Positivity + Fermented Foods Replay)

When my travel digestion woes didn’t resolve, I started an elimination diet to see what could be at the root of my distress. I’ve got some good clues, and I’ll share a few things I’m eliminating and how I’m feeling. Does chasing happiness work? We’ll revisit an episode from two years back that has great relevance right now, and we’ll also touch on fermented foods, which have so many potential benefits, but which I’m avoiding for the moment. Lots of steps’ worth today!
