Scary Health Experiences Led Me To Find My Own Healing, Here I'm Sharing ALL THE THINGS

Sitting at a computer at sometimes weird angles can make all kinds of body issues pop up the longer you do it. Here are a few things I've found to be helpful.

I got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was 20 yrs old. It was a hard pill to swallow when I went 20 yrs care free on what I was eating. I was so embarrassed and it put me in such a dark hole. When you go 20 yrs not looking at a nutrition label and all of a sudden your having to calculate carbs/sugar to insulin, it's not easy... but not impossible. 3 yrs later I'm finally more confident in it. I love to show of my dexcom because although you may not need it, i do...and honestly it's pretty cool. I love to find different accessories and such to make it fun. Putting accessories on things like medical stuff makes everything a lot easier. I start to look forward to site changes of my dexcom just cuz I get to pick the next patch imma use. So here are some things I've used so far.

I first noticed Wellys in the first aid aisle at Target and was immediately attracted to their brightly colored and sometimes artful tin case designs. I never though much of them until I decided to grab a pack. It was a variety pack with bandages ready to cover small, medium and large wounds. What the hell, I thought. I didn't open the package right away, in fact I didn't open them till the first time I needed one. I was surprised to see a tough, sturdy fabric bandage. It felt as tough as some garments even! The adhesive was extremely strong, yet didn't have harsh chemicals and industrial glues, which are a no-no if you have sensitive skin. Despite what other brands offered, you know, first bit of moisture or tug in the wrong direction and it's off, these were almost a struggle to get off. But in a good way. The tough little bandages had it all. I was sold and I'm now a customer for life and I just wanted to share these with you. Maybe you haven't had the chance to give them a try, I promise you won't look back.

Imagine a world where you finish a satisfying meal and instead of the familiar sensations of bloating, sluggishness, or discomfort, you experience a gentle warmth in your core, a calm alertness in your mind, and a pleasant lightness in your body. This is not a fantasy; it is the natural state of being when we honor the complete cycle of nourishment. We have become experts in the "before" and "during" phases of eating—meticulously planning our meals, sourcing quality ingredients, and practicing mindful eating. Yet we consistently neglect the most critical phase: the "after." The sixty to ninety minutes following your last bite represent the forgotten third of the eating cycle, where the true alchemy of transforming food into vibrant energy and cellular building blocks occurs. This neglect is the silent culprit behind much of our modern digestive discontent. We invest in organic produce and follow the latest nutritional guidelines, only to undermine our efforts with post-meal habits that directly contradict our body's physiological needs. We eat well but feel poorly, nourishing ourselves in theory while sabotaging our digestion in practice. This comprehensive guide serves as your invitation to reclaim this pivotal period. It is a manifesto for post-meal intentionality, a detailed roadmap for transforming the time after eating from a passive, often uncomfortable interval into an active, nurturing ritual that supports your entire well-being. By mastering this third of the eating cycle, you unlock the door to consistent energy, effortless digestion, and a profound sense of lightness that resonates through every aspect of your day.
