For thirteen years I have been dealing with chronic eczema. Four months ago, the worst and longest flare I’ve ever experienced started. I have seemingly tried everything under the sun for years to get to the root cause of this problem, but nothing has ever worked. And now, stuck in this endless cycle of itching, cracking, swelling, pain and inflammation, the problem is only getting worse.
I recently decided it was time to bring in the big guns, and hire a real doctor. After years of trying to figure it out on my own through reading books, listening to podcasts, and throwing any and every supplement and protocol at my body to see what stuck, I was emotionally and financially tapped out. But, I’ve decided to give it one more go. I recently invested a lot of money (that, to be honest, I really don’t have) into seeing a holistic functional medicine doctor. I have committed to getting the proper testing, and actually doing the work that it takes to heal my body once and for all. I have decided to document my whole journey to full body wellness right here. This is my journey of truly EMBODYING WELLNESS!
For me, embodying wellness means to truly be committed to not only learning about ways to optimize your health, but actually applying these things to your life. And that is what this journey is for me. I have spent years intellectualizing many concepts about health. I’ve also spent many of these years practicing some of these concepts. But the true healing comes when these practices are truly integrated, on all levels, physically, emotionally and spiritually. This is what I am seeking to do.
Writing has always been a huge passion of mine, as well as holistic health. I’m hoping that by combining the two, it will give me not only a creative outlet to express myself, but maybe along the way inspire or help people who may be on the same, or a similar, health journey! Thank you for being here!
