Many benefits to black seeds. I just added this to my daily regimen.

I’m a believer in mind over matter. What we think matters. Every day I do my best to live with an attitude of gratitude.

This quote made me smile because it describes me perfectly.

Most people don’t realize that I spend much of my downtime reading medical journals, watching lectures, and researching nutrition, medications, autoimmune disease, diabetes, skin health, and anything else that might help me or my mom.

It’s not because I think I know everything—it’s because I’ve had to become my own advocate.

After surviving MRSA and recovering from one of the most painful surgeries of my life, and later developing ongoing short-term memory problems after being taken off Cymbalta abruptly (along with dealing with menopause and mixed connective tissue disease), I realized no one cares more about my health than I do.

I don’t usually share these things for sympathy. I share them because I never knew about most of these conditions until they affected me personally. If something I’ve learned helps even one person ask the right question or find an answer sooner, then it’s worth sharing.

I genuinely love learning.

I just wish my post-menopausal, medication-affected brain would remember everything I learn. 😂🧠❤️

Black seed oil has a very earthy taste but there are a lot of benefits. I’ve recently added it to our morning smoothies which are Shaklee Life Shake based with added veggies, fruits and almond milk making them a great fat burning and energy boosting combination. Mom and I have had these shakes every morning and sometimes for lunch. I rarely eat solid foods these days due to digestive issues likely caused by diabetes or autoimmune diseases. Who knows. I just know I feel better when I don’t eat meat especially.

❤️🎉🥳

Help me congratulate my cousin Nancy who has worked hard changing her eating habits to achieve her goal weight! 🎉 I’ve secretly wanted to work with her for years. I’m so glad she reached out and learned my food plan. She’s had a long-term battle with pain and autoimmune issues. Now, she “feels better than she has in 20 years!” Her blood glucose levels used to be over 300 and her A1C was 10.8. Now BOTH are normal! She used to feel “miserable” and now has way less pain and much more energy. Her journey was more about how she felt versus how she looks. But, I think she looks pretty darn good! Cousin Nan…I’m so proud of you! ❤️

My post meal blood glucose has been consistently NORMAL (104-115) for some time now and I have my cousin Wendy Stoll Personal Training to thank for this transformation! I could cry happy tears!!!! I’m very happy and I feel so much better!

If you struggle with health issues such as diabetes or autoimmune diseases, be sure to contact her and ask her about her program. I am one of many clients who have success stories to share! She is truly the best!!!

New morning routine these days.

💪Drink spring water.
💪Feed and Walk dogs
💪Red light therapy for 20 minutes while having my Shaklee Life Shake and Happy Belly low acid decaf coffee with collagen peptides.
💪Rebounder for 20 minutes while listening to music I need to learn. Singing while exercising is great for my asthmatic lungs.
💪Dog training for 15 minutes. They love it.
💪Get ready for the day then off to accomplish what I need to accomplish each day.

So far I feel more energetic! I have to have a written schedule or I don’t accomplish as much as I’d like. ADHD brain. 🤣🤣🤣
