Health Blog: Say NO to Soy!

One of my clients was having a hard time. She was on an emotional roller coaster and couldn't understand why. After all, she had changed her diet to exclude red meat, chicken, pork, and dairy. She mostly ate  fruits, vegetables, water, tea, juices, organic and vegan. Yet she was tired and not feeling the health benefits of her lifestyle changes.

On the surface it looked like everything was up to par. But when we analyzed her pantry, we realized that her intake of soy had increased significantly. She believed it was the best substitute for traditional dairy. What she didn't know was that soy was the cause of her emotional imbalance, which was a result of her possible hormonal imbalance.

I had been there. I knew what to do and suggested better alternatives to the soy products she was used to buying, and almost immediately she felt mentally clearer and in more control of her emotions.

It's a wide misconception. Soy is not as healthy as people think. It is also one of the biggest GMO crops and added to almost everything we consume (ex. soy lecithin).

  2. Erika, I recently added edamame, tofu, tempeh, and soy milk to my diet. Applied knowledge is power so I sincerely appreciate your warning. I will purchase the book and do my due diligence. Thank you so much.
