My Testimony: Gut Health is Key!!!!

I was sharing with someone and decide to just make it a blog entry. I once again became busy in life and write blogs in my head but I never seem to make it to the computer to write them out.

I have struggled with severe anxiety and depression for about seven years. I’ve always had anxiety and depression but it became really severe after my third was born. It even landed me in the emergency room one night.

I have also had severe gut issues along with everyday migraines, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. I have tried to do things as healthy as I could with natural supplements, essential oils and eating the proper way. All of these things have helped but never quite got me to a place where I was just feeling good. I also had sleepless nights which included me up panicked, crying and fighting the anxiety by journaling, praying and meditating on God‘s word just to get through the night.

I was introduced to a natural, plant-based company. I was skeptical that this “could change my life”.  I had tried so many different products and supplements and had done things as naturally as I could. I refused to be put on any medications for the pain, my gut and the anxiety. I had a friend who started these natural products who had similar issues and different autoimmune issues. So, I researched it hard core and watched her health change (and a couple others) for about four months and realized that it was a quality product. My doctor was talking to me about doing something that was unnatural that would tear my body down and hopefully kill whatever was trying to destroy my gut and then we could try and rebuild. My husband and I decided to just give this company a try.

I started on their “three product combo” to target gut health. I do believe that our gut is the second brain and controls so much. After my first month, I knew this was going to do what I had been searching for for so long. In the next months, I noticed a difference in my anxiety, my inflammation, my every night six months pregnant belly bloating, my Fibro pain, my headaches and my overall energy.

I decided to add in their multivitamin, their plant-based Omega, and another probiotic with strains that targeted anxiety, stress and depression.  These have just made this journey so much better.  Because I’ve been working on getting my gut healthy, my body has been able to benefit and absorb the nutrients to heal my body.  I have not had one panic attack or anxiety that has kept me up all night. This alone amazes me. I rarely get a headache and when I do, it’s related to my messed up neck.  My daughter always points out how I don’t look pregnant every night.  The body pain is minimal and I don’t need a nap even on my tiredest days…although, some days I wouldn’t mind one..LOL!!!  AND…I haven’t been sick.  My immune system is healthy…finally!!!!

I tried to keep it short and simple:)

Interested in anything said here…comment or message me!  My passion is to help you feel better.

 

Surprise Mail!!!!

This little silver button… Isn’t it cute? And elegant!!!!

I received this unexpected little surprise from Plexus yesterday. This may not seem like a big deal but for me….. it brought a smile to my face. Why? Because it means I’m helping people feel better. I did not join Plexus to start a business. I joined Plexus to see if it would help me feel better as I had seen it help a couple of my friends. If you know me or if you have read my blog, you know that I love all things health and I love learning and sharing about it. I love the word journey and I love being on one.

Journey: We are all on one!!!!  From the time we are born until we take our last breath.  Our journeys are full of ups and downs, tears and smiles, pain and heartache, joy and peace, regret and contentment, mistakes and accomplishments, sickness and health….all these things make up our journey, make us who we are.  I have spent a lot of my journey grumbling and complaining.  I am selfish and don’t like it when things don’t go my way.  My focus is on me more than it is on my Savior. When I started this blog, Journey To ALL Health, I wanted to grow and be better in my journey.  I wanted to get healthy spiritually, physically, emotionally, and mentally.

I love that the little silver button says… Enjoy the journey! That meant a lot to me. I have always thought of my life as a journey.  Those three words really made me think.  Am I enjoying the ups and downs and everything that comes along with a journey?  Obviously, at times, our journeys throw us a curve ball and turn our world upside down.  These are NOT enjoyable times but…I’m sure there is something in our lives that we can enjoy during those times.  Make a list of the good things you have been blessed with and keep it close so you can remind yourself when the going gets tough.

Thank you Plexus for being a part of my journey and helping me feel a little better everyday.  Thank you for the opportunity to help others who want to feel better.  I did not set out to have a small business when I decided to become an Ambassador.  I liked the discount price and knew that I needed to give Plexus a good year to get my messed up gut functioning properly.  I was excited about the changes I was feeling and so….I started to share.  I have learned so much about our guts and how they really do act as a second brain for our bodies.  If our gut is not healthy….Pretty much everything else in our system will be off.  I love when I get a call or email from someone who is desperate to feel better NOT because they are suffering but because I can help them and be a part of their journey.

That’s all!!!!  Who knew a little magnet pin could cause so much emotion and thought.

BE HEALTHY!!!!!

I’m BACK!!!! With a passion!!!!

I have written many things the last couple months on paper, in my head and even here on my blog BUT didn’t share any of it.  Not sure where I was or what was going on.  I felt like I was in a funk.  Actually, I’m still kinda there.  I started to write a Facebook post and realized it was getting longer and longer and it was not really Facebook post material.  Soooooo…I said, “Enough is enough!!!!  You have a blog.  Stop being scared of it.  Get out of your funk and start writing because you like to do it and it’s a good release”.

So I copied it and brought it here:

We share about what matters to us, what we are passionate about. For some it’s leggings, for some it’s smelly house goods, for some it’s natural cleaning products, cake creations, essential oils, kid’s books…you see where I am going with this. For me, it’s gut health!!!! There will be haters. There will be skeptics. There will be teasers. There will be those who make you feel inadequate, stupid, and insecure. That’s okay. It has to be okay.  God gives us our own desires and talents and passions.  He didn’t make us to be little robots who can’t think for themselves.  He created us in His image.  He created each of us different.

There is not another me out there.  I love all things natural and I love learning about the ways we can heal from the inside out.  I love everything I am learning about gut health and how it controls so much of how we function and feel.  I love how I am taking steps to better gut health.  I love that those steps are working to help me feel better.  I love that I can have better quality of life in the days I’m given.  AND…..I love sharing all of this with others.

Now I mentioned above that some won’t care to listen and I can’t be offended or take it personal.  I will still keep sharing my life, my likes, my dislikes, my passions….with others.  Tonight, I heard from a friend who decided to try the supplements I have been sharing about and it was so encouraging.  It reminded me why I share.  It encouraged me to keep sharing.  She has had a rough go of health issues and is starting to notice changes.  She is starting to feel better.  (“smiling from ear to ear”) It’s all worth it!!!  I want others to feel better.  It makes me emotional.  I am actually tearing up right now…GEEZ!!!!!

Okay, enough emotion!!!!  What is your passion?  Are you sharing it with other?

Peace out!!!

I am not a saleswoman but if you are interested in what these natural supplements are that help with gut health and happiness, let me know!!!!
