Today marks the last day of my Whole30 run and tomorrow begins the Reintroduction Phase! I am as nervous as I am excited about reintroductions. I want to complete the experiment and determine how my body will react with the various foods I have been avoiding for the last month, but I also don’t want to reintroduce anything that […]
