Through many struggles I have found myself in a position in which I’m searching beyond conventional wisdom and guidelines about our health. There’s pieces missing and I’m filling in the gaps. I am relying on primal instincts and primal living to find answers as I emerge from the ashes of my past life’s struggles.
My story begins as I desperately fought to lose over 100 lbs. At the end of the tunnel instead of light I saw adrenal exhaustion wrapped in hypothyroidism, which led to feeling fatigued much of the time, gaining a lot of my weight back, and having many hormonal imbalances as well as bothersome conditions such as constipation, sinusitis, candidiasis, high blood pressure and cholesterol and insulin resistance.
Fortunately, I’m blessed with a hunger for answers and curiosity that has led me further in this quest to find true health as I fight for what I believe to be the truth. Over the last several months, coming up on a year in September, I’ve spent a ton of time researching and answering my own questions, filling in the blanks, and connecting the dots. A lot of information I’ve come across is controversial and has caused some to lash out at me in defense of their own lifestyles and beliefs. These are my own beliefs and findings, if someone is interested in hearing them then I feel I have an obligation to share this knowledge I’ve worked so hard to find. I’m continuing to piece all of this together, and I’m sure I’m missing parts here and there, and of course every case has it’s own variables, but I believe there are some basic ideas a lot of us are missing that would lead to a better quality of life.
I hope this blog will be informative and inspirational for those also struggling with metabolic damage. Given the right tools and information we can get through this and prevent it from happening again. I hope the information here helps many. Please feel free to share information or experience. Collectively I think the answers will be clear for us.
