A New Journey

A new journey, but not in a completely different direction, just the beginning of walking a MUCH tighter line down the path of whole food goodness and pursuing a much more focused goal than ever before.
This time around units of energy are not in the forefront, neither is having as many veggies that I eat as possible being grown in my yard or nearby (although my gardening continues)  Units of energy are not the enemy of inflammation, neither is how close to our doorstep our food is grown. Inflammation is the primary enemy that I am choosing to fight right now with hormone imbalance and unhealthy gut bacteria following closely behind in what ever order shapes up to be the best to treat them.  I went gluten free for a year or so and before that I went sugar free for about a year and a half. Neither were a holy grail for me. Neither time that I made these changes was my life quite like it is now. Now I feel the inflammation every day. Every minute of every day. The knowledge that I can clear out some of the things causing and aggravating this inflammation has me motivated to fight with more drastic measures.
This time around I am doing this in a much different way and with a much different mind set. I have a whole team to guide me. A team who right out of the gate was straight up honest about while there is not a cure for Multiple Sclerosis there is a way to get and to keep our gut bacteria healthy and to reduce the inflammation and in turn reduce some of this pain. This is huge. There is something really annoying and demoralizing about people who want to tell you that they have a cure all for a disease that absolutely has no cure or that they know a person who cured their MS with their diet, or their spirituality or whatever other thing that ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT CURE MS so to have a medical team that promotes health and wellness and brining your body into balance in this manner while being real that there is no cure was exciting to say the least.
Appointment #1 was two hours long and fascinating to say the least. I was sent home with test kits for pretty much everything that comes out of a body (ewe)
Super excited for this science experiment to begin!
