Cleaning out the “cures”

Does this look familiar? Is your medicine cabinet full of chemical “cures” in the form of pills, capsules and syrups?

Well, if you are starting on the paleo diet, get ready to clean out your medicine cabinet…that’s right, throw it all away! You won’t need it anymore!

One of the biggest differences that I have noticed is the significant change in my health. I no longer have any headaches, pains, cramping, skin rashes (keratosis pilaris), psoriasis, dizzy spells, heartburn, acne, acid reflux or other medical symptoms that require medicine to fix. Not to mention the awful female monthly madness, which was so much more painful due to endometriosis…is now no longer an issue. No more pain pills, nausea, heating pads and gut wrenching abdominal pain. Gone!

How can that be, you ask? Just by changing what I eat allowed my body to fix itself, NATURALLY! No drug prescription necessary!

So what if you get sick? What should you do? Hydrate, drink bone broth (bone marrow is a super food), drink green juices, have some raw honey and cinnamon and get plenty of rest.

Remember, if you eat clean food, your body will get what it needs and will respond accordingly and you will be less likely to get sick. The Paleo Diet is my prescription and my medical advice is to let food be thy medicine!

The proof is in the Pants

Ok so this is out of my comfort zone, but I wanted to give a visual (scary as it may be for me to post). This is a photo I took last month that shows that what I am doing (eating real not processed gluten free food) really works!

I was in a size 16/18 pant and now i am in an 8. As you can see due to the rapid weight loss, I still have quite a bit of toning to do…and I am working on it. But the picture shows the results.

So keep pushing, reaching eating right and never ever give up. I will help however I can, cause I BELIEVE IN YOU!!
