IBD (Part 2)

I am alive, I am the healthiest I have ever been at 43, my spirit is strong, my body has by comparison small amounts of pain, and I am living it up. I continue to work everyday to fine tune my health habits and daily practices, I am ever evolving, as we all are.

Acupuncture and body work are non negotiable; as are exercise, hydration, nutrition, and nervous system settling. Consistent lab work and supplementation based on its findings, and best of all check ins with the most amazing PA at a GI office. Because the truth is, the wealth of knowledge of both is best used combined. Most of all I have learned that Chinese medicine and Western medicine can be of so much benefit used together, as complimentary medicines.

In all, I tend to think we can see health challenges as they are, challenges, for overcoming and thriving, well beyond surviving, pushing us to be our best selves. Our deepest thinkers. And our most determined, empowered, and grateful.

Just over here flipping the script on a western medical diagnosis one day at a time.

(IBD Part 1)

At 15 I became excruciatingly sick while traveling in Asia, and remained sick and pretending my way through life for the next 6 years until at 21 I was diagnosed with an Inflammatory Bowel Disease called Crohn’s disease. In essence it’s an autoimmune disease that is painful and totally debilitating. Where your body turns on the autoimmune response due to some external trigger and continues to eat its way through your digestive system through inflammation, scar tissue build up, and a whole host of other symptoms.

From the outside looking in, it’s a silent disease, and most with it spend a lot of time faking wellness as much as possible.

After diagnosis I spent 5 years on immunosuppressants, basically chemo, weekly blood draws, and being gaslighted into thinking these medications were the only thing keeping me alive. Until a lab came back showing my liver to be in a detrimental state from the medications.

My quality of life was as horrible on the medications as it was off of them. I expressed my wish to try another path to my gastroenterologist and inevitably ended up having to advocate for myself so strongly in favor of not continuing the medications that a week later I received a termination letter from my doctor in the mail.

Yes, you heard that right, I was sick and desperate to find a better more wholesome way, or at least explore other options, and my Doctor fired me.

So, the willful, brain centered being that I am, I set out on a mission to educate myself, or at least find some way of life that I could get through each day with a little less, or maybe no pain.

As anyone with a chronic illness knows, everyday is work to maintain any level of normalcy, but truly who are we kidding, life is plain old hard work anyway.

This was the period where I found Acupuncture. A system of medicine thousands of years old, a peaceful setting, and gentle energetic shifts within the body. Finally, a place I could go to FEEL GOOD. A place where my body was taken into account and guided in the most gentle and effective way, towards a path of wellness. Freedom and less pain.

Fresh turmeric, ginger, and lemon shots for the win! Looks like p*e, tastes like health-wealth. When the whole world is sick it’s up to us to keep our own immune systems up and strong.💪🏼

Enviable stillness.

This is always what I’m working to get back to. Playful freedom and innocence. In NATURE.

What food prep rituals do you have each week to keep your body in its most optimal state of health?

My fav way to start the week is a flat of roasted potatoes, sweet potatoes, and yams, as many varieties as I can find. Gut microbiota thrives on diversity of plant based foods!

Disease and dis-ease elimination including pesky symptoms like joint pain, brain fog, etc., starts with gut health.

Added bonus when you heat, cool and reheat them, this allows them to turn into a resistant starch, which is also a creator of a thriving gut and as beneficial as fiber!
