I'm on a liquid diet but these recommendations would be helpful for anyone wanting to boost their protein intake during cancer treatment and reduce chemo side effects!!

While sitting here blowing my nose and suffering, I decided to make a nice list of recs for when you're sick and struggling!

I was diagnosed with R.A. in 2006 and it's been life changing. The pain can be debilitating at times, and it really sucks to have to rely on my husband and others to help me with little things. Like opening a bottle of water, a package of food, etc. It hurts to chop food, pull my straight leg pants up, button anything. I recently discovered these tools to make my life easier. I created this list for others who might be experiencing the same things I am. I hope you will find something on this list that you didn't know about before that can help you live a better quality of life. This space will have tools, gadgets, resources and whatever I can find that might help you.

I just got my breast augmentation and was a little confused on what to buy to prepare for this surgery. I asked my friends that have also had this surgery and this is both their and my doctors recommendations. My mother also had surgery 2 weeks before I did so we both compiled this list together.

Some of my favorite items for my spoonie and chronic illness peeps. I have EDS (Ehlers Danlos Syndrome), POTs (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome), Trigeminal Neuralgia, and many more. The items on this list help me to live my day to day life.

Everyone deserves to be healthy without spending $50+ on one single product. As a girly with chronic pain and a spinal injury that will unfortunately result in living in pain for majority of my life, staying fit is a necessity. Body and mind health are directly correlated to the function and quality of life. In my case, being unfit physically and mentally means more weight and strain on my spinal cord, as a result I need to stay active and healthy for MYSELF. But I’m in college, I am not rich 🤣 so this list includes various dupes or options that you can choose to better your life one step at a time.

These are the high-protein foods, healthy snacks, pantry staples, and nutrition essentials that help fuel my workouts, riding, and busy days. If you’re looking for realistic, everyday products to support an active lifestyle, you’ll find my favorites here.

I love how my life dictates what I write about. I’m on my 3rd infection this year. That will teach me to leave my bubble. Like how dare I try to resume life?

These are products I keep near and dear for general wellness pain, relieving allergies or sinus pressure. I've also listed some things I use to aid in detoxing my body as well.

Look, perimenopause is no walk in the park. And my mom never spoke to me about menopause, much less perimenopause. I doubt she even knew what perimenopause was. Sadly, she died two years ago so I'm on this struggle bus alone and hoping I can give what has worked for me and learn from others about what their must haves are for getting through this WILD time in our lives as women.

I was diagnosed with ADHD at age 41 and am finally finding resources that help me thrive!

This is from a video I watched on YouTube from The Egg Whisperer Show. I'm not a doctor- I utilized what made sense to me and what I could afford. (I had low ovarian reserve so I needed "anti-aging" of my eggs and I quit alcohol, tobacco, and decreased caffeine to less than 100mg a day.) I hope it helps!

The first hot flash that hit me in a meeting made me want to disappear. The heat, the flush, the sweat, the way it arrives from nowhere and steals the room. I spent a while just enduring them until I realised there were real tools that took the edge off, some in seconds and some over weeks. This kit is built this way: cool down fast in the moment, dress and prep so flashes catch you off guard less often, and support your body from the inside so they ease over time. Everything here has helped me feel like myself again.

I got Covid in December of 2020 while teaching high school. I was not able to return for spring semester. In fact, I was in a wheelchair with a whole host of health issues until late summer of 2021. I was finally able to get around without a wheelchair eventually, but my life has never been the same. Four and a half years later, despite going to a Long Covid Clinic and seeing a multitude of doctors, I still don't have any real answers or treatments. I am better, but I am pretty sure I will always have a chronic illness that prevents me from living the same kind of life I did prior to Covid. This list is just going to consist of things that I have found helpful in this Long Covid Journey. I am in no way a medical professional, and I'm finding that with Long Covid, and probably other post-viral illnesses, something that works for one person may not work for another! But I am here to share what has given me at least a little bit of my life back or made things easier for me.

Heating and cooling products to regulate your temperature or ease pain!

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”

With having hypothyroidism, I felt like no matter what I did, I couldn't lose weight. I have taken synthroid all my life. When I started working with Dr. Heather Stone's method, the weight fell off and it stayed off because I addressed the root issue. When I realized the root issue was blood sugar and glucose levels not my thyroid, it was much easier to modify my diet. My hair started growing and thickening and my body responded.

These are things I take daily (or with high regularity) at the recommendation of my doctor, dentist, nutritionist. I read a ton of reviews to make sure I'm getting the best I can- sometimes that's best for price, sometimes best for me overall.

The neurodiversity runs deep in my immediate and extended family. From ADHD to autism and sensory processing disorder, I've learned to navigate the sometimes wild world of living with my own and parenting other brains that experience the world differently from neurotypical folks.
