Dr Lily’s Top Tips
- This is your body and your journeyn – no-one else can do this for you. It is your responsibility for moving forward.
- Everyone is a snowflake and the best evidence is your N=1 experiment.
- Seek out people in the scientific community, the online space and the medical profession who say “I don’t know” – don’t give up on people who have changed their perspective or their ideas – see it as a huge asset, a sign of humility, curiosity, growth, and compassion, not weakness, confusion or lack of knowledge.
