Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I keep following all the "healthy food" lists and still feel wrecked after meals other people swear by
• I honestly have no idea whether my eating tilts more toward the foods that wind my body up or the ones that calm it down
• I’m weighing myself every morning and letting that one jumpy number decide whether the whole thing is working
• I keep finishing meals uncomfortably stuffed because I just eat until the plate’s clean
• I forget to eat all day, run on fumes and get snappy, then inhale something in front of a screen at night without even tasting it
