Back in January, I posted about the start of my SIBO journey. (https://www.leahcutter.com/my-continuing-food-journey/) This is an update. It may contain TMI for some of y’all, as I’m going to talk about food, diet, and bodily functions. As I said in the previous post, my main focus has been on increasing my gut motility. Basically, this […]
As the Stomach Turns… Read More »
I’ve wanted to write this for quite some time, just to clarify some things. I’m a feminist, raised by one of the original feminists. A liberal. Bisexual. Little ol’ white lady with a ton of privilege. I’m not highly political. Part of that’s privilege. Part of that’s how I was raised. Part of that’s the
I’ve changed my diets over the years. From Primal to Paleo to Carnivore. Always made the change in reaction to something going on with my health. While Carnivore mostly eliminated my stomach symptoms, it didn’t solve the underlying issues. Plus, I love veggies. I really wanted to get back to eating them again. I tried

I have three of these essays planned. This one will be a retrospective for me of health, exercise & diet, writing & publishing. Then I have a connecting piece about changing my perspective, followed by a looking forward piece. 2024 was one of the hardest, most stressful years of my life. 2025 was very much
It’s been four months since my last stress update. Figured it was time to make another one. (Here’s a link: https://www.leahcutter.com/2025/05/more-of-that-stress-thang/) Daily, I still ask the three questions morning and night (AM: what am I looking forward to, what am I grateful for, what social interaction can I have. PM: what brought me joy, what am
I’m currently sick with a sinus infection. While I’m unhappy that I’m still sick, I’m still kind of okay with it. Let me give you some of my history with sinus infections. Back in April of 2004, I came down with a sinus infection. Because I don’t present like a normal person when it comes
While I was at Worldcon more than one person asked how I managed to write so many books and so many words. So I thought I’d explain a bit of my process in greater detail for those of y’all who are interested. First of all, writing is my fulltime gig. That means I get three
