First and foremost I have an autoimmune disease. Everything I do on a daily basis is to mitigate the complications that come along with it. My daily life is dedicated to keeping my chronic inflammation at bay. It is not elective but necessary in order to live a long, healthy life.
Please know that I am sharing what works for me. I am under the care of a functional medicine doctor. I have routine blood & saliva tests is to help guide what vitamins, supplements, and peptides work best for me.
Diet:
No gluten (Haven’t had any in 24 years. That is wheat, barley, rye, and oats if they are cross contaminated).
Mostly no dairy (I can eat some hard cheese but milk & ice cream are no bueno)
Limited alcohol (I have maybe two adult beverages a month and they a yummy fresh craft cocktails)
Lots of fresh meals. We cook lunch and dinner almost every day. I am a protein girlie. So lots of salad with protein (chicken, beef, salmon).
Water:
This one is hard for me. I love ice tea and hate just plain water. But, hydration is vital so I will juice a whole orange into my water.
Exercise:
I fiercely dislike the gym so I dance instead. Salsa, Bachata, Merengue. A night of dancing can equal 5-7 miles!
Sleep:
At least 8 hours a night. If I feel restless due to pain, I use THC pain cream. I have a *card* from my doctor). I listen to binaural beats and sometimes wear a migraine compression mask.
Supplements:
Liquid vitamin d drops, liquid b vitamin drops, three different creams for menopause (wild yam for progesterone, testosterone-made from soybeans, and estrogen), I am also on week 4 of a specific injectable peptide for inflammation. I get glutathione shots as well.
Bi-weekly EMDR therapy
Bi-weekly massage
Chiropractor as needed
