My Health
I'm going to take you waaaay back for just a minute. When I was 21 years old I had a cardiac event. Pretty much I dropped dead - but - the good news is I was in the emergency with a friend when it happened! So I am here to tell the tale. I ended up having an experimental procedure at the time called an ablation. Common today I know, but at the time I was even on the CNN Health show because of it! Let's just say this was a turning point in my life where I realized just how fragile life was and I didn't want to take it for granted or waste it. I became a nutritionist (and a vegan back before it was a thing!) and a fitness instructor. I was living life to the full and that's probably why my husband fell for me.
We married and started a great adventure. Our daughter Regan was born in Hong Kong. As she entered high school she developed incredible digestive issues. I did every chart you could think of - stress, gluten, dairy - and we simply could not figure it out. My son, Garrett started having noticeable focus issues at a very early age. I did everything I could to avoid meds, but finally the school said "He can't come back until he's medicated".
Then, we adopted our beautiful Kailin. We were told she was healthy, but at the age of two, she was diagnosed with a blood disorder. This caused her to be severely immunocompromised and a common cold would instantly turn to pneumonia. This diagnosis came while I was going through another health crisis - a severe Thyroid issue that was actually life threatening! REALLY???
I was exhausted. I was trying so hard - from the outside we looked like a nice, healthy family, but inside I felt like we were all falling apart. I was trying everything. We ate organic. I was putting us on every detox that came by. We all drank our protein shakes with whatever natural supplement I could find stirred in! We were earthing, exercising, meditating and praying - a lot! Don't get me wrong. These things were helping, but it just didn't seem to be coming together. Until I found the missing piece.
