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.

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!

I have spent the last 3 years on a quest to improve my PCOS symptoms. Consistency is hard, but below is a regmine I landed on that has led to the biggest reduction in my symptoms. These supplements combined with a gentle workout routine has helped me lose weight, kick cravings, majorly reduce hairloss, and feel better overall. Not everyone has access to the funds to take all of these supplements so I have organized in what I believe to be the most important and then the nice to haves. Take these changes slow to be sustainable change. Don't go buying every single thing reccomended thinking you will do it all at once all day everyday. Start small, build up…this will help you ID what actually helps you. Give everything six months.Don't be afraid to explore and find different options, but the supplements listed from WholesomeStory are specifically designed for folks with PCOS and infertility. They have the best combos to help. Something is better than nothing though, find what works for you!Most importantly, remember: FOOD IS NOT YOUR ENEMY AND RESTRICTING YOUR DIET AND BEING FEARFUL OF FOOD IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU. All it idoes is increase your anxiety and stress around eating, which elevates your cortisol…this just leads to more damage for your body and makes things worse than any particular food would
