Years ago I was struggling with not being able to get out of bed every morning. I had baby #5 and in my mind I thought is was post partum. BUT as time moved on, more symptoms moved in and more issues arose. I began to feel so depressed because I really couldn't do what I normally did- I was so tired I couldn't move, I would sit in the floor and I couldn't get up, my feet hurt so bad it felt like I was walking on nails, and I would have to sit most of the day because I couldn't stand on them. I had 5 kids and a baby to take care of and I wasn't really sure how to go on.
I decided if I lost weight maybe that would help, so I began eating air! hehe and began to lose. Funny thing is the air was all that felt good to eat. So, I lost weight and I did feel somewhat better, but still had some pain. I began to realize there was some food that made me feel bad as I began adding food back to my diet. So, I went to the doctor to get some idea of what was going on. He told me that I had high cholesterol, high blood pressure, I was borderline diabetic, and I had celiac and neuropathy.
He hand me a pile of prescriptions and said this will make it better and by the way just continue to eat air. hehe. I asked him if all the prescriptions were necessary if I continued to lose weight and feel better. He said no, but I needed to lose about 60 more pounds. As I lost the weight, I didn't end up with having to take all the medicine and I learned a whole lot along the way.
When Josh was then 9 months old, I was introduced to Young Living. I discovered a whole new world of living, losing weight, and taking care of my family. The first time I used Stress Away on the screaming baby it was like a light shined down from heaven onto this little bottle and angels sang! I was in love and it was amazing. The screaming stopped and the fevers went down, and the coughs subsided with just a few little drops from these amazing little bottles. The world was in alignment again. WOW! So needless to say, I never looked back.
Through this experience though, I began to really wonder why my body was "healing" itself, what made these oils really work, why did all these different crazy ailments just go away? I began to research and learn all I could. I went back to school and became a CHFNC (CERTIFIED HOLISTIC FUNCTIONAL NUTRITION COUNSELOR). That is a lot of words to say that I learned how the body works, how the body can heal itself through food and natural remedies, and what western medicine is doing to our bodies. I have discovered so many life changing things and I want so much to share them with you.
Because of lack of nutrition, our body can be toxic which can lead to illnesses such as allergies, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and infertility just to name a few and all all are directly related to our digestive system. Allergies, for example, stem principally from the body's inability to fully and properly digest food. Because of this there are too many strange proteins floating around in the bloodstream, needlessly stimulating the immune system. Then, when another foreign protein such as grass pollen or fruit tree pollen comes along, the body sends histamines to attack it, resulting in an allergic response such as a runny nose or teary eyes. This is just a small example of what is going on in our body on a regular basis.
On Monday, we begin our 28 To Elevate program. A 28 day in depth workshop where we will deep dive into our mindset around food and health, look at starting an exercise program that would be right for you (start slow and low then build for your level), discover how to heal your body naturally, and the how, when, what, and whys of doing a cleanse. On week 4 of the program, we will do a 5 day cleanse together (don't worry it isn't just air).
This program will set you up for life long winning health! You will learn how to properly take care of your body all year around and have a winning attitude while doing it! Everything comes down to our attitude and mindset. If we are not in a place to welcome change and growth, then we will not have the opportunity to do better.
In the program, we will:
- Have a weekly zoom where we will learn together specific topics for the week. Grow together and learn from one another. Every Tuesday at noon.
- Digital scans to learn what is out of balance in our body and how to bring our body back into balance.
- Workbook for daily accountability, guidance, and reflection.
- One on One help in creating a wellness plan just for you that is easy to stick to and help your body begin to heal.
- A personal group page just for 28 To Elevate students (off of Facebook). Each day you will receive a new lesson and action steps of the day. There are some oily suggestions. You can choose whether to add those to your program or not. They definitely add a extra element to the program if you do use them.
So, grab this LINK and get signed up and I will see you on Monday morning.
YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY. ARE YOU READY FOR CHANGE?
There are 100,000 chemicals on the market today. The toxic Substance Control Act of 1976 grandfathered them in. What does that mean to you? Simply put: these chemicals have not had any safety testing, and we know very little information about their side effects. Since 1940's prostate cancer is up 200%, Thyroid cancer up 155%, Brain cancer up 70%. What happens when your body is chemically overloaded? It may not be cancer, but we can feel in ways like: lethargy, inability to focus, sleep trouble, chronic inflammation, unexplained pain, skin issues, adult acne, hot flashes, stress, anxiety, and fear. If you are tired of living in a chemically overloaded world, click the link below and learn how easy it is to change out chemicals for toxic-free living.
