Sharing is caring!

Small changes are equally as important as the big ones because, over time, small changes can become the most impactful.

Gut Healing; Small Changes Make a Difference

I would know.

I did it with healing my gut.

In 2009, in no way, shape, or form did I have all the answers.

In fact, the real first thing I did was simply to give up gluten (June 20, 2009).

From there, I just kept on making small changes, little-by-little.

And then, sometime over a year ago, I realized that everything about my health and state of gut had drastically changed.

Life has felt happier and more peaceful every single day since. (Just ask Ryan what it was like living with me during those years 🙂 )

Once I got my gut under control and SIBO into “remission,” I began making other small changes that I knew would only contribute to further health and healing. 

The Next Small Changes

Those next small changes I focused on were around skin and body care products (and also the toothpaste).

Why? Because there are 1,400 harmful chemicals banned or restricted from cosmetics in the European Union.

In the US? That number is 30.

Women use an average of 12 personal care products a day, and men use about six. Teenage girls average 17 products a day.20 This can mean exposure to hundreds of chemicals just in the course of a morning beauty routine. (source)

Whatever chemicals you do or don’t want to use is your prerogative.

As I told you in 18 Things About Me, I’m sick and tired of dogmatic health, fitness, and wellness.

And honestly? Just a little research via the EWG’s Skin Deep Database – they also have a Healthy Living App which I have on my phone – on your favorite/current products is all laid and spelled out clearly for you.

Your Small Change?

Maybe it’s not your skin and body care products or your food and lifestyle choices, but perhaps there is something you could think about doing today that would be a small change worth making? 

We barely notice small changes until one day we look back to see how far we’ve come, ignited by something so small.
