These are a few of the resources I recommend because they helped me to understand this invisible yet crazy business happening in my head. That doesn’t mean you’ll find them useful, but I merely suggest them as a starting point. I will say that many of these articles are from ADDitude Magazine, but that doesn’t mean anything except that the mini spies in my phone were reading my mind and recommended them… lol. I do like this site, though, because they have a wide variety of health professionals, as well as other individuals who experience the effects, so you’re getting a diversity of thoughts. That said, some articles are more helpful than others.

Also, please know that I am not getting compensation for recommending any of these sites. They authentically helped me to understand and often even found them on random searches of the interwebz. I would never share anything that I actually don’t enjoy myself.

MyNetDia ry: During my quest to eat right to try to keep my hormones and body processes regulated, I experimented with different apps to help track what I ate. I didn’t change what I ate initially, but as I was able to visually see the total calorie counts, fat, carbohydrates, and protein, I was able to see what how my foods of choice impacted my nutrition. Through it, I was noticed that I wasn’t getting nearly the amount of protein my body required and was able to make the proper adjustments. I also really like this app because of it’s clarity and user friendly features. I can either enter the nutrition facts manually (which is super quick) or scan the sku to enter that information automatically.
