The Best Diet and Spiritual Bypassing – Things That Make Us Cringe

Christie Kruisenga, Micah McLaughlin, Natural HealthNo commentsdiet, spiritual bypassingOctober 26, 2016Kara McNabb

There’s a lot going on in the world of natural health. Most of it’s really great, but every once in a while, we see stuff that makes us cringe. Over the next couple months, we’ll share our perspectives on a few of these. First up: diets and spiritual bypassing. Here’s what naturopaths Christie Kruisenga and Micah McLaughlin have to say.

What’s a trend in the world of natural health that makes you cringe?

Christie Kruisenga: As a naturopath, I get asked a lot about what diet I think is best. My short answer: NONE.

During this transition, it is so easy to focus on how much we’re craving just one more beach day or how shoveling a path to your car in the midst of a blizzard seems like the last thing on earth you want to do. If we aren’t careful, we’ll slip between the cracks of the transition and miss out on an opportunity for growth. Without making the choice to be present this season, winter will be here in the blink of an eye, and we’ll have failed to take advantage of its abundance.
