– [Allyson] Hey, it’s Allyson, Alayna, and Ohara back. Its our last Whole30 blog that we have, a post Whole30, what we’ve gotten out of our experience. Ohara, you want to start?
– [O’Hara] Well, post Whole30, I’ve largely remained on a gluten and dairy free diet. But I’ve slowly added back some alcohol in moderation, as well as grains like quinoa and oatmeal and corn tortillas. So I can have Austin’s favorite meal, the tacos.
– [Allyson] We were, kind of, all talking about this earlier, but that was the one thing I missed the most, was chips and salsa or my chips and guac, which I have, pretty much, every night now. And I accredit that with the energy that I’ve gained in my workouts. Because my workouts were terrible with Whole30. I had no energy, it felt like I was dragging myself up hills and all over the place, and that’s, kind of, my life.
– Yeah.
– [Alayna] I think we all, like, I noticed too, that since we’re all fairly active, you can’t not have any carbs in your life. And so, I think, if I was to do another Whole30 just to cut out more junk and processed foods, I would probably be more conscious to eat more butternut squash or sweet potatoes or, like, plantains. Because I think cutting out processed carbs, I cut out too many regular vegetable based carbs, as well. So I definitely would be more careful about getting more of those in, because I think we all noticed that, like, an energy difference level.
– [Ohara] Yeah, and low carb can energize you for a few days but then you really start to notice that decline and especially for active women who do cardio and Pilates and Gyrotonic.
– [Alayna] But I definitely noticed one of the big takeaways was having protein and fat at every meal and every snack. So, if I was going to have something like an apple or something for me that I can’t have a ton of sugar with, I make sure to eat it with some protein and fat in there. So maybe a little bit of almond butter with my apple.
– Even a piece of lunchmeat, even if it’s a small amount of things, but it’s all added in there, and that seems to balance me better.
– [Allyson] And your salads at work look great with, like, the hardboiled egg or drained chicken or something.
– [Alayna] Yeah, but I make sure to get those fat, like, half an avocado on there and that seems to sustain me so I can…I feel like I don’t just crash after two hours.
– [Ohara] Yeah, I’m still making sure that every day I have one large salad with bunch of lean protein on it and a healthy fat dressing. And I really am enjoying that, that feels great, and it’s definitely a habit that I want to keep.
– [Allyson] It does add to your recipe list and possibilities. Okay. We learned, probably, a lot more, but that’s wrapping up our Whole30 experience and would love to hear about your experiences. We have heard a couple of people respond on their starting their Whole30 and what it’s done for them. Some people that have gotten out of back pain after being on Whole30 for just 8 days. So comment and let us know. Thanks.

Bye.
“The one body has many parts, but the many parts make up one whole body.” Allyson uses this belief in three areas: First, in her approach to addressing areas of restriction throughout the body as a whole. Second, learning from co-workers, clients and other therapists taking pieces of wisdom and incorporating them into a whole treatment. Last, incorporating the pilates practice into discharge from physical therapy to continue parts of your recovery into a pursuit of health for your whole life. All parts making up one process of returning your body to health.
Her background in Total Motion Release techniques as well as Craniosacral Therapy, Strain/ Counterstrain and PIlates make for a holistic and gentle approach with quick results. The focus of her therapy is to empower the client with tools to heal themselves.
Allyson earned her B.S. in kinesiology at The University of Texas in 1992 and her M.S. in physical therapy from Texas Woman’s University in Houston in 1995. She has worked in pediatrics for 9 years also with great success treating pediatric orthopedic issues and infant torticollis with no crying!
