May First.

 

May 1, 2025

Today is May Day and is also the start to my favorite month.

This year I am celebrating my birth month by giving myself the best gift I know of-

better health.

This started in January with a plan.

Today I start my plan, which is  what I did roughly 12 years ago...

start eating dirty keto.

Though back then it was because wheat caused anaphylaxis.

I shied away from any grain product out of fear.

My anxiety found me running every day to ease it.

The byproduct was a healthier me...far more healthy than I 

had been in decades.

Below is a simplified explanation of the different keto versions.

I always ask you to consult with your doctor for your own plan.

But this is what I will be doing.

I start dirty and move to clean , add in exercise - sunshine-

intermittent fasting and I will quickly be back to the old me.

Or a new version of her.

Keto

Intermittent fasting

Info on fasting

Sun {am & pm}

Info on light

Will support your body to reset itself.

With this basic framework, I can  expect to feel so much

healthier, with more energy and less down days.

Losing the inflammation for good is a huge motivation .

These simple recipes are just the ticket to help.

I will be having one or more of these daily.

Magnesium is my go to for stress relief and better sleep.

Though I have to say, I rarely have trouble achieving deep restful sleep.

I take magnesium in the am & pm.

It has helped greatly with anxiety.

Magnesium I use 

Stress causes high cortisol levels.

That makes me gain weight in my abdomen .

It makes me hypertensive in stressful situations.

One of the biggest changes I have made is taking magnesium but also

incorporating practices that help me regulate stress.

Walks in the forest, yoga, writing, epsom salt bubble bath, creating,

playing with my grandchildren, tending my flock and gardens,

singing, friend visits....

 Are some things that settle my soul.

The biggest tool that seemed to help was eliminating as much as I could

situations and things that no longer served me.

Learning new boundaries.

I am a strong Taurus.

This quote is so me.

Like the phoenix I will rise in quiet strength, grit and stubbornness 

to become the best me I can be.

Throughout this month I will be posting about my progress.

If anyone needs encouragement starting anything this month,

just message me.

Let us motivate one another to better health.
