It worked for me

“I didn’t have to starve!”

Right before stepping into the spotlight to give a big speech at work, Stephanie Dodier felt her throat close and her heart race. I have to get to a hospital, she thought.

I think I’m having a heart attack!

In fact, Stephanie had suffered a major panic attack, triggered by a lifelong belief that she “wasn’t good enough.” In the hospital, the doctor gave her a prescription for anti-anxiety medication, but Stephanie wanted to find a better way to regain control.

With the help of a functional medicine expert, she began eating a Paleo diet rich in healthy fats that would help her overcome the nutrient deficiencies that amplified her stress. Unlike the low-fat diets Stephanie had tried in the past, she enjoyed big, satisfying meals like eggs with sausage and veggies sautéed in butter. She even found ways to make her favorite desserts.

After three weeks, Stephanie noticed, “I didn’t feel like I was starving. I ended the food cravings that were ruling my life for the past 20 years!” Slowly but surely, her belly shrank, her chronic pain lessened, her energy soared and her anxiety lifted. She was even able to quit smoking cold turkey.

Now 100 pounds lighter and free from prediabetes and high cholesterol, Stephanie reveals, “My perspective on life changed.”

She left her corporate career to become a clinical nutritionist (StephanieDodier.com).
