Way back in 2009, I was one of the first people to try the Whole30, long before it had that catchy name and had helped hundreds of thousands of people change their lives. I’ve been committed to this way of eating ever since. And while my story isn’t a success story in the traditional sense—there’s no “after” photo of me with six-pack abs or a tale of massive, overnight weight loss—it is a success story. Eating Whole30-style has kept me fit, mostly happy, and fighting the good fight while wrestling with I-have-no-thyroid complications.
