My goal is to have your every day be a miracle of healthy living – a miracle of your own making. This informative blog strives to help you stay young, thin, and disease free via yoga, nutrition, digestive health, fasting, weight loss, and alternative health methods; I’m here to let you know that there are options other than the Western medicine solutions you’ve been raised on.
My interest in this topic was awakened when I was living with my Aunt Simm, who is a Doctor of Oriental Medicine. I came to her after high school, at the age of 18, and had been consuming fast food daily, had to have milk in my cereal, smoked, and had recently put on 10 lbs over my normal weight.
After three years of living with her and her amazing impact on my well-being, I adapted my diet to that of my Aunt Simm and Uncle Doug. Experiencing many alternative health concepts while living with them, such as veganism, raw foodism, probiotics, meditation, herbal remedies, fasting, and acupuncture had a huge, healing influence on my life. I’ve never been the same since.
I began studying for a BA in Natural Health and Nutrition from Clayton College of Natural Health, which I’ll admit, I never completed. But that’s another story…
Still, even as a non-accredited alternative health specialist and a busy web professional, I am completely focused on good nutrition and whole living. Although I’m currently not vegan or even completely vegetarian, I do spurts of veganism and raw foodism once in a while as therapy for my body when I feel that my energy is dragging. I avoid drugs, vaccines, genetically modified foods, and antibiotics. My friends tell me that I haven’t changed bit in a decade, and I’d like to believe that this is thanks to Aunt Simm and her fountain-of-youth wisdom.
I started this blog as a way to record all the things I’ve learned about nutrition and alternative health / medicine over the years. I believe that if you find something amazing and life-affirming, it is only ethical to share! It was also my way to get the word out to my loved ones and friends who may or may not know I believe and follow these principles; I don’t often preach what I practice, but in these pages, I feel safer doing so…and have been waiting to speak for a long time.
For those of you interested about my blog design, I got this one from “Elegant Wordpress Themes” and only had to put in my logo. I’ve found their themes extremely easy and great for beginners! They are also already very beautiful and don’t require a lot of custom design!
