Knock! Knock!

Knock! Knock! Hey, there!? It’s me, your body. Now, I know we’ve met before, well, because I'm a part of you. But it seems as if we've been growing apart.

Rather, I’ve been talking, but I don’t think you’ve been listening. Even so, you may be aware some things are happening here. Like the heartburn we get from eating greasy foods or the fatigue we feel even after a full night’s sleep. That would be me, trying to snare your attention…

I’m trying to tell you that something is off with us. When I'm neglected and abused, you feel me pinging you from the inside with indigestion, arthritis, headaches, brain fog, diarrhea, constipation and a slew of other symptoms. I'm jumping up and down trying to get you to notice that we’re inflamed. Inflammation is the genesis of disease.

All I generally need is water, a steady dose of high quality nutrients, plenty of sleep, and to not get bombarded with chemicals and toxins. Quieting inflammation gives me a chance to heal, and healing means that I can begin to run at an optimal level. Now we can actually thrive, not just survive! Can you imagine us waking up feeling good every morning, having enough energy to tackle the trials of the day? I think we deserve it. I know we can do this together.

It all just begins with listening….
