Life and Health Updates + Tips
Life and Health Updates + Tips
I started this website and wellness community in 2019 as a way to connect and support those on a self-healing journey. My mission was to create a safe place where we can just be as we learn and grow and heal. 
I am still on that journey to a healthier, happier, healed life.
And I'd like to go back to sharing more of that with you.
Does that sound good to you?
For those who have been here since the beginning of my #Gastroparesis + #Mito journey, thank you so much for being a part of my world 
9 years in and things are always changing with my health, so I thought I'd give an update for where I'm at currently...
Plus, a few tips to help you get started on your own healing journey 
Do you experience any daily symptoms?
I still experience these symptoms every day,
- nausea, abdominal pain, and bloating
- migraines and vomiting episodes
- dehydration, malnutrition, vitamin deficiency
- brain fog and chronic fatigue
- cellular and spinal degeneration
It's all just part of the GP/ Mito life - there is no cure but I have learned over the years there is better management.
What differences have you noticed since starting this journey?
What's better,
- stamina, mental health and my nervous system regulation, anxiety, depression
- increased caloric intake of solid and whole foods, yayee for veggies, yum broccoli 
- improved labs, clarity and day to day illness management
- quicker recovery from flare ups
What does your self-care wellness plan include?
I continue to focus on
- my medication regimen, including Adrenal Cortex, Reglan, Digestive Enzymes, Pre and Probiotics, CQ10, Omega3, Folate, Amino Acids, Collagen, BComplex, You can find these and more through my wellness dispensary.
- Aloe Vera Juice
- daily hydration infusions
- daily yoga and meditation
- spending time in nature
- healing my body and mind
Feeling motivated to do these things all the time is unrealistic. Motivation comes and goes. 
You have to be committed to wanting better for yourself FIRST. That's how you keep showing up. 
Where to start if you're ready for more:
- add digestive enzymes and probiotics - ask me what I use!
- add Aloe Vera juice, ACV, or Turmeric, shot every day to soothe inflammation
- add a multivitamin and supplements to help fill in the gaps and that contains highly soluble ingredients, herbs, adaptogens - ask me for a list!
- clean up your nutrition, less sugar and caffeine + more veggies and lean protein
- move your body, even in blocks of 15 mins throughout the day, find what feels good
- make your self rest, go to bed early
- manage your mind, mental stress kills more than forks do. Learn to manage your thoughts and feelings, deep breathe, with meditation and yoga
- do labs, take health tests to determine gaps in your nutrition, cellular function for improved, vibrant health - ask me about Thorne's health tests!?
- stop being so stubborn - you know there are things you can do to feel better 
Which activity could you add to feel better this week?
If you made this far, I'm so thankful for you 
My goal is not to just "push products" down your throat, but to lead you down your own path of SELF-healing.
I am always rooting for YOU
