How it all changed

It all started while working at Sonic. You know cheeseburgers , tater tots, Sonic blasts, and their famous onion rings. I was in my 20s and never thought much of what was in food. Over the years, I have became a picky eater. How about you? I tried a 17 day diet which kinda put my body into shock. I completely over-hauled my diet. I went from drinking alcohol and eating cereal to drinking water and eating veggies and beans. I started working out excessively and drinking a lot of green tea because it was the in thing. This led to an excess of estrogen and the start of infertility( in which I'll discuss in a different post). Why did I want a change? What drew me into wanting to take care of my body? Why were foods so important now? I don't know about you but now I look at labels, don't eat fast food, and choose whole healthy foods. What foods are healthy? Well, some of us might think fish and broccoli is healthy. It is, but if you smother it in cheese it becomes unhealthy. Should we steam our vegetables, sauté them, bake them, or eat them raw? That's a choice you will have to make. I like them sautéed lightly in Olive Oil myself.


I chose the change because I wanted to have more energy, have a clear complexion, and live a satisfying life. I've been told I have a fun-free life...not so. Yes, I have taken dairy and gluten out of my diet but I can still enjoy a cookie now and then. I personally love the taste of vegetables and have learned to cook them many different ways. I chose to go Vegetarian for a while and actually enjoyed it, but finally came back to eggs and some meat here and there. This has been a lifestyle change and I'll never go back.

As I experimented with vegetables, I did research on what foods are good for skin health, fertility, digestion, detox foods, and energetic foods. This led me to becoming a Health Coach in which I'm seeking to coach clients to choose their health. I know this lifestyle isn't for everyone but I can testify that eating my kale and spinach helps with luminous skin and provides more energy than a can of soda. Of course, you should eat everything in moderation! Cheers to my kale and banana smoothie!
