Welcome to my blog

Writing a blog is something I've thought about doing for a long time.  I've verbally subjected friends, acquaintances, and defenseless strangers to my thoughts and opinions on the many different health conditions that are considered to be "lifestyle diseases"--obesity, diabetes, and heart disease to name a few.  I'm not an expert on these but I am experienced with some of them.  I think experience helps to make one an expert. Reading, researching, and experimenting does as well.  

My experience with lifestyle diseases began about ten years ago when I first learned that I have insulin resistance (IR).  I was overweight (caused by or causing the IR),  had high blood pressure, and was well on the way to having heart disease.  I had worked in healthcare for years and saw how these conditions were treated by allopathic medicine.  Elderly people with a dozen different pills.  Each pill after the first to treat the effects of the previous one.  When I found out about my IR I was no longer working in healthcare but I remembered those old people and swore that I would not end up like that if I could help it! That was when I started studying about natural healthcare.


My vision for this blog is to relate what I've learned so far.  It has been a journey to health and I am still traveling along but I can see my destination not too far away.  


I'm glad you found me and hope that you will return soon to read about my experiences and what I've learned so far on my journey to a happy healthy heart!
