Last week I talked about stepping up my supplement game and how I was attacking my intestinal health to see if my problem is stemming from either Candida or SIBO. Sure, I could go to the doctors and get tested to see if I do intact have either of them, but guess what? Through my own …
I took a trip a few weeks back to visit my bestie and her new baby and to go to an arthritis fly in in DC. I loaded my iPod with EDM podcasts, Hardwell’s new album and every song Celine Dion has ever recorded. What can I say, road trips to me scream dance party …
The other day I was walking, ok crutching, through Whole Foods and started craving a PB&J. Mmmmm it sounded DELISH. Especially if it was the coconut oil peanut butter. But, of course, I can’t have bread . . . Or peanuts . . . Or most jellies. Boooooooo! What fun is that? Then I had a …
Everyone has bad days. Healthy people. Rich people. Sick people. Poor people. E-v-e-r-y-o-n-e. To be completely honest, no one person is ‘worst’ off than another person.

My autoimmunity I’ve really been taking extra caution these last few weeks to get these two things in line. I DO NOT want them …
If you could write a prescription for your self-healing, would you do it? To be completely honest, it’s one of the reasons I started this blog. Let’s go back to Summer 2013. I had spent almost 6 months basically in bed. I wasn’t allowed to put weight on my leg, I was in pain, I …
If you’ve been following my blog you’ll know that I have avascular necrosis in my left femur, right where my knee bends. (Read some AVN blog posts here) I’ve seen countless doctors (read about Dr. Glueck here), tried acupuncture (post 1 & post 2), the blood thinner lovenox (update 1 & update 2), have been on crutches …
“If you are depressed, you live in the past. If you are anxious, you live in the future. If you are peace, You live in the present.” Lao Tzu Recently I went to a yoga class that I thoroughly enjoyed. Before we started our asana practice, the teacher instructed us to think of a time …
