The Freedom in Change
There is a freedom that comes with change, and sometimes life wakes us up by presenting us with challenges that, although they are difficult, help us to get back on track.
About 5 years ago, I found myself struggling with severe exhaustion, hypothyroidism, adrenal fatigue, and extreme anxiety. What really tipped me off that something was wrong is that I discovered that had an adrenal crash. I could not get out of bed for days. I had no clue what was wrong at the time. It took a lot of effort to figure this out. I actually thought that I just had a flawed personality. But I wanted change.
I found out that I had major hormone imbalances... and nutrition deficiencies. I learned that, usually, if there is one hormone out of wack, it is hardly ever an "a la cart" deal. I learned carbs don’t make me feel good. During this discovery process, I realized that the severe stress & anxiety, that I have suffered from since early childhood, has played a role in my current state. I learned that a lifetime of bad eating habits was taking a toll. And my current eating plan was helping it was hurting.
I knew I had to make a change if I wanted change to happen. If you are digging a hole and want to get out, step one, stop digging the hole. Then…I simplified.
