A LOT has happened since then... The biggest event was the loss of my dear sweet Mother-In-Law. This week it'll be a month since she passed away. She fought a nasty form of brain cancer called Type 4 Glioblastoma Mulitform. She fought hard, ran fast and eventually won the race... running straight into the arms of Jesus. Her demonstration of GRACE, FAITH, LOYALTY & LOVE brings our family PEACE that she is with HIM.
While my husband’s mother was sick we did a ton of research about cancer and watched some really good documentaries. As a result we made some personal lifestyle changes... most notably with our diet & products we use on a daily basis around the house... and I'm working on getting back into the gym this week! Our main goal is good health… and hopefully cancer prevention!
From here on out I'm going to TRY and use this platform to blog about the changes I've made for our family. I feel some of the things I have learned over the last few months are so valuable not to share... I know there are others out there dealing with health issues and I firmly believe that with a whole food diet and exercise you can feel way better and maybe even reverse whatever health issues you might have.
I've had a health issue for many years that was finally diagnosed as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) about 4 years ago. I don’t have all of the sypmtoms of this syndrome but enough to make me physically uncomfortable & fatigued ALL. THE. TIME. No one has answers for me… they just say to take "the pill". So I did for the last four years and I'm not gonna lie... it did make me feel better but it felt like a band-aide covering up my symptoms. A couple months ago I stopped taking "the pill" and switched to a whole food and an organic (when I can) diet. In addition I’m taking a whole food multi-vitamin for women, bee propolis, adult probiotics, vitamin d3, and krill oil for women. I had already made some changes with our diet over the last year or two… and it's only been two months for the rest of the changes. I’ve slipped up a few times but for the most part my body is already feeling better... I won’t know if any of these changes rid my body of PCOS until this next Spring when I go in for an ultrasound. I sure hope so!
From here on out I’ll try (key word TRY) to blog the food I like to prepare and products I like to use. Thank you for reading my mumble jumble... hope I don't annoy or bore you! hahaaa.
And I’ll leave you with an amazing quote that changed my way of thinking;
'Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food' - Hippocrates
