Living in the Space Between Sick and Well: Why Chronic Symptoms Persist


Happy group under a sunny sky on left; sad person indoors with a cloud on right. Text: "Some days you feel great and others not so much."
When symptoms fluctuate, biology holds clues.

You eat well.

You’ve swapped seed oils for ghee,

ditched the afternoon coffee,

maybe even learned to enjoy magnesium mocktails.

You lift weights.

You walk.

You meditate (or at least try).


So why does your body still feel like it’s lagging behind?


Why the bloating, the exhaustion, the brain fog? Why the sense that something’s still…off?

If this is familiar, I want to tell you something most people won’t:

It’s not your fault.

You’re Running a System That Wasn’t Built for the Life You’re Living


Modern life is metabolically hostile. Chronic stress, stealth inflammation, unresolved infections, overtraining, undernourishment—it’s a perfect storm.


And the body? It compensates. It adapts. Until it can’t.


Most people wait until symptoms scream before they listen. But you’re here, which means you’re already listening.


That’s a good sign.


The Truth Is, Most Health Advice Is Built for Symptom Suppression—Not System Repair


You’ve probably heard:

  • "Just cut carbs."

  • "It’s your hormones."

  • "Try intermittent fasting."

  • "Take a probiotic."


The problem?

Those may work—for a while.But they don’t address the full picture.


Your gut, hormones, immune system, and metabolic health are all talking to each other.If you only address one, you’re just playing symptom whack-a-mole.


What actually works?

Systems-based care.

Personalized support.

And the willingness to zoom out before you zoom in.


How We Approach Chronic Symptoms at Dig Nutrition


I don’t believe in magic bullets.

But I do believe in data. And patterns. And teaching people how to understand their bodies again.


In my practice, we use tools like GI-MAP, DUTCH, and MRT—not as diagnoses, but as maps to help us understand what’s happening beneath the symptoms.


We build protocols that support your system where it’s breaking down—not just where it’s screaming.

And we do it in a way that feels doable. Sustainable. Human.


A Thought, If You’re in This Place


If you’re tired of guessing… still not feeling like yourself… chances are, chronic symptoms are your body’s way of asking for a deeper look.…


I’d love to help you get clear on what’s actually going on.

No pressure. No pitch.Just… a smarter way forward.



Or just keep reading. Learning. Following the breadcrumbs.

Because what you’re feeling?

It’s not in your head.

And it’s probably solvable.
