The Myers Way Episode 24: The Specific Carbohydrate Diet with Steve Wright

[Originally published on October 21, 2013] Steve Wright is an electrical engineer turned health engineer. Back in 2009, he was struggling with IBS symptoms, weight gain, acne, and other severe health issues. When conventional medicine didn’t help, his friend Jordan Reasoner got him to start the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. In just a few days his IBS symptoms were basically gone. Since then, he’s focused on getting as healthy as possible and teaching others what he used to get to the root causes of digestive problems, hormone dysregulation, and detox issues. He writes and works with people 1-on-1 over at scdlifestyle.com.
