So without even thinking about it, I made the switch because I was not convinced that Big-Pharm was the way to go. There had to be a healthier way to alleviate the physical pain i was in that didn&#8217;t involve prescriptions and this was something I had never tried.<\/p>\n<p>I instantly noticed a drop in pain levels, so much so, I stopped taking inflammatory meds &amp; tramadol for pain. I had more energy, I wasn&#8217;t tired after eating and actually enjoyed cooking these new meals. Now it may seem extreme to simply switch over instantly but when I make a decision, I do it. I was also going to PT at <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Specialized_PT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Specialized PT<\/a> twice a week and they highly commended me on switching to this diet and said the improvements for my body type will be tremendous and they have been.<\/p>\n<p>So for those who are still living in pain and on meds, I highly recommend doing the research, check it out for yourself.
