I am always looking for healthier or alternative options to help with day-to-day ailments and to keep my immune system supported and healthy! These are some of my go-to health supplements that myself and my family use regularly. These supplements have worked wonderful for us. Each person is different so please consult with your doctor before making changes.
when it comes to treating and healing under the broad spectrum of mental health, one size does NOT fit all. If affirmations give you hives, and forced positivity makes you roll your eyes so hard you strain your optic nerve, then you've come to the right place my friend. In this house, the treatment plan is liberal use of sarcasm and dark humour, a fuckton of rude words, and a soupcon of rage for flavour. Insight focus on the “in”, not the “sight”, and worksheets are worth the paper they're printed on. Patient - heal thyself! For the physicians surely won't.
Being overstimulated or burnt out is so exhausting. It uses up all of your mental capacity… it sucks. It helps to know that there are ways to calm yourself. These are things that I personally use to try and restore the peace within my neurodivergent brain!
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!

Hey friends! Look, I don't know when exactly we transitioned from "partying all night" to "wow, my left calf cramp woke me up at 3:00 AM," but here we are. Apparently, the secret to surviving adulthood is finding the best magnesium supplements. But why are there so many kinds?!

PLEASE READ: Everything in this list is not to be taken as medical advice. I am simply showing what things have helped me with my LC symptoms. If you come across something that you think might help, please speak with a licensed medical professional about it. That being said, I'll share a little bit of my history. My post-COVID issues started in January 2021. Today (as of June 2024), I'm about 90% recovered. The symptoms that I still have are mild fatigue and slight sensitivity to touching certain things. I had a lot of other symptoms (chest pain, SOB, air hunger, heart palpitations, etc.) in the past that eventually resolved on their own, so in this list, I will share some things that I did to help with certain issues. I've had little success with traditional western medicine and had a good amount of relief with integrative/functional/eastern medicine. You may notice that some of the things in this list seem rather “woo woo” or full of quackery, but I implore you to keep an open mind. I was once in that resistant mindset until I gave these things a try.

I have suffered with eczema from the day that I was born and have been on and off steroids for majority of my life to help keep my eczema flare ups at bay. I am now no longer on steroids and have found some things to help aid me with this disease. Before taking any of my recommendations for eczema, it is very important to understand the type of eczema you have and what things trigger flare ups. It is also important to note that signs of issues on the outside could be trying to tell you that something is wrong with the inside.
