Learning how my muscles work
Have you ever known you were doing something wrong, but no one has been able to tell you how to do it right? I have, especially with exercise and posture. Last year I went to a migraine clinic that worked a multiple prong approach. Parts of it worked, but one part didn’t, and that was…

After getting all my test results in my doctor came up with a 4-6 month treatment plan depending on how I react. The first prong of my treatment plan is doing a diet that first came about to treat seizures, keto. The keto diet I am on is more restrictive in some ways and less…

Eat What Feels Good
In future post (that I’ve been procrastinating writing for a month) I will explain why and the journey, but I am currently on a doctor prescribed 4 month keto diet. After getting over the keto flu (feeling crappy while your body figures out how to live on ketones) I have felt really good. Back up…
