Hi Everyone my name is Michelle! I am married to hubby Jeff-nearly 35 years now, a mom to now adult children ages 35-27, a grandma (Yaya to be exact) with now 3 grandbabes! Other life? We are Entrepreneurs! We own more than one traditional businesses that we manage ourselves, ok, its 5 and yet we I still feel this is where I belong. Helping others be healthy, be happy and add to their financial future if they choose-and still I am Michelle.
The being an entrepreneur? It’s not a new thing! I was raised that if I wanted something, I needed to work for it! I felt it was totally unfair when I was young! Other kids parents didn’t make them work! Other parents didn’t make their kids pay 1/2 of their school clothers! Of course I had to help at home, I am the oldest of 4 siblings. one job I had I used steel wool and totally polished and cleaned the neighbors motorcycle and I know I was under 11. By 11 I worked summers picking strawberries, tried cucumbers one year but my arms broke out so bad didn’t repeat that. Of course I baby sat, had a paper route, helped at church bingo, mowed lawns....... i don’t really think I need to go on?
All of this built me into who I have become. A strong willed, stubborn, independent women!
Life seems to always be a in a constant transition! We should be right? I am evolving with my health and sharing my journey, my research, my education with you! It can be so hard! I don’t want it to be for you! Being sick can make you feel so alone! I know I felt that way for months when I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Disease. Yes RA, and with the I term disease and it is so much more fitting!
Here is the geeky stuff: RA is an auto immune disease that the body’s defense attacks the joints. Most commonly and in my case starting with the small joints of the fingers and toes and can progress. I have had issues with my wrists also, surgery for repair on my left. The disease also eats at the synovium that makes a fluid that lubricates joints and helps them move smoothly.
I want and hope that my sharing my journey on living with RA, will help others who are also and so many other auto immune diseases really can be helped with the same advise! Lupus, Fibromyalgia are similar diseases-and also auto immune. I will share my journey, what has worked for me, what I have learned, studies, science, shoes to wear on the bad days!
No, it may not be easy-but it's worth being as healthy as I can be!
What will you find following this page? Yes I will still have great #mealsonMonday! Yes I will still do weight management advise and coach weight management (because I LOVE it!) I will continue to share the weight loss or management journey of my clients-If they are ok with it ;). Don’t forget Gut health! As was said by Claude Bernard-scientist who found our health is our gut, pancreas, liver and kidneys, who proved it is the soil (gut) needs to be a good healthy environment not as believed by Louis Pasture who believed it was the seed that caused disease! (Thank you Dr Ben for that conversation!)
I will share tips of my journey and what I have learned! Maybe things as boring as the comfortable shoes to protect those sore toes and feet. Medications, supplementation, and of course food! (The natural healer!) Notes from my DR (I think he is pretty great!) and any other thing to help us all out! Like artificial sweeteners and sugar! Many days will be random! Mostly because I have a lot going on (entrepreneur) and can’t seem to focus on a perfect schedule! I will try to do #yourdailyinspiration #mealonMondays #wellnessWednesday #weightmanagement or at least a health tip,on Thursdays, Tips for weekends on Fridays like #funfoodFriday, Saturday will be totally random and honestly, I take Sundays off of social media!
I hope you Love it! Please comment!!! Now take a big breath with me as I take myself and hopefully others on another journey! It is hard to make change! Changing the name of this page (FB let me change it to Coach) is more about the journey to a more healthy lifestyle. I am slowly evolving myself, daily and taking this page with me! I believe in total body wellness, preventative care, supplements, eating cleaner and better (because I am not perfect and I don’t expect you to be!) I have learned to work with both foods, exercise and supplements to improve health, hopefully help us all use less prescription medications, have a better sense of well being, be more confident, age more gracefully (let’s try to reverse that!!!) and fight disease! Or at least alleviate the symptoms of!
This has all started with my own wellness journey! Hope you join me!!! Please like, leave comments, share your recipes and finds, your testimonies! Why? We are all in this together!
