We often spend the first half of our life learning-and the second half unlearning what doesn't work for us. And there's nowhere that may be more true than in the realm of nutrition. We've all felt the frustration of trying a fad diet or "superfood," only to find it isn't super for our unique body.
So it's no wonder that personalized nutrition is all the rage as experts accept that there is no one-size-fits-all answer for eating. Yet it can be overwhelming (and expensive!) to undergo personalized genetic testing to figure out the right foods for you. Even popular food allergy tests have come under fire recently for producing faulty results-up to 60% false-positive rates. Thankfully, there is a better, more reliable and virtually free way to learn exactly what foods your unique system needs. And it has already improved millions of lives. It's the new Whole30.
This plan starts with a 30-day elimination diet, where you cut out foods like grains and sugar, which are scientifically proven to trigger the most symptoms for most people. Instead, you focus on eating nourishing whole foods like meat, plants and nuts (there's also a plantbased version). That experiment is then followed by a 10+-day reintroduction phase to figure out which foods, one by one, you can comfortably reintroduce. Your reward for all that effort: "You will then have a highly personalized approach to creating a joyful, sustainable diet for yourself long-term," says eight-time New York Times bestselling author Melissa Urban, who co-founded Whole30 back in 2009 and has watched it grow into a worldwide wellness revolution. Why the massive popularity? This short-term experiment provides knowledge you can use to achieve good health for life. She says, it's a "proven protocol" to power your one-of-a-kind body.
