Why does healing sometimes feel worse before it starts to feel better?
In this episode of Nurturing Body & Spirit, we explore one of the most confusing parts of the healing journey. If you've improved your diet, started supplements, or begun addressing root causes like gut health, hormones, or toxins - only to feel more tired, foggy, or uncomfortable - you’re not alone.
You'll learn why this can happen, what may be going on inside your body, and how to tell the difference between a normal healing response and signs that your body needs a slower approach.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why healing isn't always a straight line
- What a healing reaction may look like
- Real-life examples of common healing experiences
- How to support your body without overdoing it
- When to check in with your healthcare provider
If you've ever wondered, "Why do I feel worse when I'm trying to get better?" This episode offers clarity, reassurance, and practical guidance for the road ahead.
