High and Low FODMAP Foods 高和低 FODMAP 食物

If you often feel bloated, gassy, or uncomfortable after eating, your diet could be a key factor—especially if you have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). The FODMAP diet is designed to help identify foods that may be triggering your digestive distress, so you can make adjustments and feel more at ease.

But it’s not just about making the right food choices—it’s about having the right support. Navigating a Low FODMAP diet can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. This isn’t a diet you have to stay on forever—after the elimination phase, there’s a reintroduction phase to help you understand which foods work for your body.

If you need guidance through the elimination and reintroduction phases, we’re here to help! Please fill out the application below to schedule a FREE discovery call. Sophiehung.com/work-with-us

如果你經常在飯後感到脹氣, 腹脹或不適, 你的飲食可能是關鍵因素, 特別是如果你患有腸躁症 (IBS) 。FODMAP飲食專為幫助識別可能引發消化不適的食物而設計, 讓你能夠調整飲食, 減少不適, 感覺更輕鬆。

但這不僅僅是選擇正確的食物, 還需要合適的支持。遵循低FODMAP飲食可能讓人感到不知所措, 但你並不需要獨自面對。此外, 這並不是一種需要長期堅持的飲食——在完成初步的排除階段後, 還有重新引入食物的階段, 幫助你了解哪些食物最適合你的身體。

如果你需要指導來順利度過排除和重新引入階段, 我們隨時為你提供幫助!請填寫以下的申請表以方便安排免費諮詢。https://sophiehung.com/work-with-us-chinese/

Question of the Day

 

Are you tired of feeling bloated, gassy, and uncomfortable related to Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)?

EBPA Mixer Event

We had our EBPA mixer last Tue in Arcadia. Thanks Vivian from VWS Mortgage Realty for hosting us. We had a great turn out. Tesla was one of the sponsors for our event, Oscar and I were able to test drive the cybertruck. It was very cool! Due to the recent fire, EBPA wants to help support the relief effort in Altadena. When the EBPA board members found out that our church (Expressions church) got burnt down, they raised fund during the mixer to help support our church. I was very touched! Jeannie and I representing the EBPA board delivered the donation check to Expressions church this past Sunday.

I am not telling you its going to be easy. I am telling you its going to be WORTH IT.

Transforming your habits isn’t just challenging—it requires unwavering mindfulness, consistency, and persistence. And let’s be real: going at it alone makes it even harder.
A coach provides the insight to uncover your blind spots, the accountability to keep you on track, and the guidance to course-correct when you start veering off path. Most importantly, they’re there to lift you up and get you back in the game when you stumble.

改變習慣不僅具有挑戰性, 它還需要堅定不移的專注, 一致性和毅力。讓我們面對現實: 單打獨鬥會讓事情變得更加困難。

Finance Wealth Building Conference Takeaways

We went to a Finance and Wealth Building conference last weekend. We learned from many inspirational speakers and had a ton of fun as well. I am super proud that our mentor won many awards, which reassured me that I’m in the right team. Some of my teammates also won many awards just doing this business part-time, which also shows me the possibility of working this business part time.

Here are my top 10 takeaways:
1) Stay coachable, don’t focus on the results
2) Knowledge is not power unless it is applied
3) Go from Possibility Thinker to Impossibility Achiever
4) To attract better, you have to become better. You can’t do the same thing and expect change.
5) Expect headwind for every business, learn to stay in the business even during challenging times.
6) Be comfortable with the uncomfortable
7) How you do anything is how you do everything
8) When team member leaves, don’t get discouraged. People who are meant to stay will stay, people who don’t, they are just part of the journey.
9) It’s not the strongest or most intelligent species that survives. It’s the one who is most adaptable to change. ~Charles Darwin
10) Don’t leave anything for later.
Later, the coffee gets cold
Later, you lose interest
Later, day turns into night
Later, people grow up
Later, people grow old
Later, life goes by
Later, you regret NOT doing
