The last couple of months have included lots of celebrations and get togethers, Thanksgiving, Christmas, birthdays, and everything in between. It’s been great, really it has…. but the last couple of months have been SO HARD! Recently, I wrote about my history with autoimmune thyroid disease and my excitement about trying a new medication to balance my hormones. I’m still hoping that I’m on the way to healing my body and getting things right, but it became fairly clear by the beginning of November that I wasn’t getting enough thyroid hormone.

I’ve talked often here about better nutrition, especially using Shakeology (Shakeology review HERE). But I haven’t talked as much about exercise, even though it’s one of the best ways to improve your health and is vital for obtaining and maintaining health and wellness. I’m not the type of person that can get up the motivation to leave my house and go to an actual gym, so I’m a collector of home exercise videos. ChaLean Extreme is one of the best ones I’ve ever tried (Check out a preview of the workout here). I’m currently finishing the second month of the program (it can run 3-4 months depending on the track you elect) and the results are visible already. I know it’s all well and good to talk about getting healthy, but people don’t believe you until they can SEE proof. So to those of you that don’t know me in person or don’t see me all the time to watch my transformation, here is some actual visual proof of the work I’ve put in and the results it has afforded me.
Any of you that have spent any time at all on my blog know how I feel about Shakeology. If you’ve read my Shakeology review, you know that I chose Shakeology after comparing it to the other shakes on the market and how much it’s improved my health and wellness. It has definitely made my health better, even while living with ulcerative colitis and autoimmune thyroid disease. I’ve taken the following post from BeachBody CEO Carl Daikeler’s blog because it underscores the attitude that the company has taken in their formulation of Shakeology. It touches me that so much thought and effort went into it and I can DEFINITELY tell! If you want to know even more, I always love to talk about it. Just get at me here.
To my friends and family, it is not surprise that I have taken my new role as a BeachBody coach and ran with it, talking about it all the time and urging my friends to take control of their health and their life. But those of you that haven’t known me as long might be thinking that my advocacy of their products has only to do with the fact that I’m now representing them. The truth is, I spent a large part of my life sick and unwell. So I’m sharing this tidbit below with any of you that are interested…. just some musings of mine about better nutrition and health and wellness from March of 2008….
Hi everyone. Soon I will be off for a weekend teaching conference in beautiful Traverse City, Michigan. But first I’d lake to share with you a recipe that I made this week. As I’ve learned to nourish myself better and come to know the value of better nutrition on my health and wellness, I’ve made more and more and more soup. This is the second soup that I’ve made with my own home made chicken broth and it is delicious . It’s from one of my favorite books on nutrition and healing, “Ultrametabolism” by Dr. Mark Hyman. That book changed my life and I still use many recipes from it on a regular basis.
I’ve already written a few times here about living with ulcerative colitis, but UC was not the first autoimmune disease that I was diagnosed with. I have a long history with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, which is a form of autoimmune thyroid disease. Recently, my doctor and I changed my medication from synthetic T4 and T3 to Nature-thryoid (which is similar to Armour thyroid). I have very high hopes for what this could mean for my health and wellness. And so I continue my journey with thyroid disease treatment, one that has already been more than a decade of roller coaster hormones, although I’m thankful I have had it easier than a lot of the people with whom I’ve discussed it.
This woman’s story really hit me because I, too suffer from ulcerative colitis. Since starting on Shakeology, I have stopped taking Bentyl, Prozac, Zyrtec, and Flonase. My doctor and I have hopes that I will soon be able to stop taking Asacol for my ulcerative colitis. It is truly amazing to me how better nutrition can heal your body and make pharmaceuticals unnecessary.
