Andrea shared her 6-week wheat-free facial change that developed despite a very modest weight loss.
“This is 6 weeks in to a new wheat-free lifestyle. I have only lost 3 pounds but see a noticeable difference in my face.”
You can see that Andrea has experienced the changes we expect when we remove the inflammatory effects of wheat: reduced swelling of the cheeks and around the eyes, larger eyes, sharpened jaw contours. It is a reflection of receding body-wide inflammation that can be accompanied by relief from joint pain, leg edema, stiffness, gastrointestinal inflammation and inflammation of other organs.
Andrea has more work to do, such as eliminating all grains, not just wheat, supplementing iodine, addressing vitamin D status, and cultivating healthy bowel flora so that she can lose the 30 additional pounds she hopes to lose, as well as enjoy a return to total health. Despite this, you can appreciate how profound a change she has already undergone just with the removal of wheat.
