•My Health Journey•
I’ve been vegan almost 3 1/2 years now and this is my story of how it all started. I did this to be healthy, but it also turned into so much more…
It all started where I grew up in Southern Illinois. I come from a conservative Christian background.
I was 8 years old I started having to take TUMS to combat stomach indigestion. I had a great immune system, but when it came digestion, I always had problems. By age 11, it was so bad that one day while playing and running with my friends, it dropped me to the ground. It felt like a heart attack but it was actually after taking some TUMS…more indigestion.
The doctors there couldn’t make heads or tails of my health issue and decided to put me on strange diets that didn’t really help.
By age 16/17 we had moved out West to Montana. It was there that I learned I had a high intolerance to Dairy and Gluten. It was also there I came across OMG GMO in a desire to wanting to know more about what was going into our food. I started eating healthier but had my cheat days as well. I ate organic whenever I could.
After my gull bladder surgery, I was actually informed that it had a real function. It protected the liver and kidneys and helped with stomach acid. I heavily regret now not healing my full bladder herbally, but sadly I didn’t know quite enough on the issue yet. I decided to get even more serious about my health though.
I went from paleo to keto. None of that worked, so I tried pescatarian. This would be one of the best feeling times for me, but I still felt bloated or tired at times on this diet.
Finally, I decided to try plant based. It was the best I ever felt in my entire life! I had so much energy I almost didn’t sleep for the first 3 months. I lost a lot of weight at first with my body flushing out the toxins but after I built nice lean muscle. 💪🏼
I saw and experienced every myth I was ever told about this get destroyed in front of my very eyes. This led me to do more research into plant based.
That led to me great vegan documentaries like Food Matrix 101, Game Changers Documentary, Vegan Agenda 21 New World Order Diet Nonsense, The Truth About Meat & Dairy By Eric Dubay, Dominion and Forks Over Knives.
These are so eye-opening. I highly encourage to watch and also check the sources yourself too. Always do your own research!
It also led me scripturally, being a vegan Christian to explore what scripture had to say and boy did it say more on it than I expected! But because I am a Christian, I also believe that people were allowed the provision to eat meat if they choose. Not eating it is definitely the higher path though and the one I’ve decided to fully embrace.
I am not a conservative and I am definitely not a liberal. I don’t believe in any of their “labels” but rather seek out the truths hidden in their agendas of their “parties” and find what is actually true and what is not.
That’s a little background on me!
I have personally known people who’ve reversed and healed their cancer and diabetes and heart issues by going completely plant based. 🌱
Another thing I implemented was fasting and this is also important as a Christian as it actually tells us to do so multiple times. There was even a point where the disciples couldn’t expel a demon out of a man by just praying so they went to Christ who asked them if they had prayed AND fasted. They had not. So he instructed them to go back, fast and pray and try again. When they did this, the demon was expelled!
Fasting has such great health benefits as well when utilized correctly.
This life change was amazing for me. I could work on Commercial Roofs with my husband and sometimes outwork the guys with the amount of energy I had to keep going! 🙌🏼
All I know is that this is the healthiest and best I’ve ever felt in my life! Not getting sick and having all the energy I could ask for is especially good in keeping up with my little kiddos. 💕
I wanted to create a chance for others to have access to the same healthy options I woke up to. I hope others start exploring this as well. If you do take that path, trust me, you won’t ever regret it. 💯
