Three years ago I went outside to check that my spigots were covered before a pending storm was to descend over Nashville, TN. I slipped on black ice, wedged my running shoe between two pavers, and heard my ankle snap. I had never broken a bone, but I immediately knew the pain was unlike anything I had ever experienced. I screamed so loud my neighbor came over to help me crawl inside. That night the city was covered with 6" of snow and if you know anything about living in the southeast, that much snow equals paralysis! It was six days before I could get to the doctor's office for them to declare fractures on both sides of my ankle joint and for surgery to be recommended. Now, the x-ray of my ankle looks a lot like a fence post someone screwed a bunch of screws into through a metal plate! Before I went into surgery, I went into deep research mode to put together my “Ankle Healing Protocol”. I committed to doing whatever it took to restore full function to my ankle. I was about to turn 50 years old and hadn't lived an active, healthy life thus far just to trigger a cascade effect that would make me feel a lot older than I was. I'm happy to report that I was jogging again in 3 months and can do all my regular yoga poses as I could before surgery. I have since shared this “Protocol” with multiple other people who had similar surgeries and they experienced similar results. Take and apply whatever resonates with you and leave the rest! And as always, use your judgment. Consult your doctor as I am a middle-aged woman trying to lead a happy, healthy life, not a doctor or a physical therapist!

natural herbal supplements for immune system health, gut health, mental health, and healing hormonal & inflammatory acne :-) these systems are ALL inextricably linked!! so supporting one system will inevitably support the other systems and i truly recommend everyone to take all majority if not all of the supplements i recommend. these recommendations are only of the highest quality, as it is EXTREMELY important to use only high-quality, organic supplements, i know it can be more pricy, but the cheaper ones often have a lot of junk in them and are not as potent in the supplement, thus making it ineffective. some of the best brands that might not be organic but are still good quality, and most affordable are “nature's way," “solaray”, and “NOW”
