A little while ago I shared with you a post about my path to finding optimum wellness and that I went to see a functional medicine doctor to see about my immune system and a few other things. Since then I have been following Paleo, taking all my supplements, and working out regularly. I have been feeling great so far and my digestion has improved along with my energy. I went back a month ago for the follow up on my blood work and saliva test. He said that everything looked really good, and that I would be an easy case. It was so good to hear. There were only 2 things that came up, one was low progesterone and the other was low vitamin D. Both are pretty easy fixes and I will be working to get those numbers up. He prescribed a progesterone cream and 10,000 IU of vitamin D for a month, then I will go back to my regular 5,000 IU daily. My markers for inflammation and adrenal stress were both in the normal range so nothing to really worry about there. I will however be staying on Paleo. I really feel the best when eating a paleo diet because I focus on getting in vegetables, lean protein and fruits. I also will snack on nuts and seeds when I need a snack. I think the difference this time is that my hubby will be eating Paleo with me and that I know I can have some "non-paleo" foods at special occasions and be okay. It's all about finding what works best for you and enjoying the treats in moderation. This will give me the freedom to enjoy parties or a night out here and there. I just know that my body responds really well to Paleo, my digestion, skin, energy and sleep all improve when I am not eating dairy, grains, anything white, and legumes. I have also lost 12 pounds and have lost the belly bloat. My clothes are fitting so much better and my workouts are awesome. I am finally putting on muscle and lifting heavier! I feel fantastic! I drink a lot of water and focus on whole real food. Have you tried Paleo? What would hold you back?
Here are some of the things I will be launching in the coming weeks:
- Monthly Challenge Groups with a Facebook group- this will include weekly workouts, meal and snack ideas and a weekly check in with me.
- An Updated 4 Week Shape Up Plan
- A HIIT E-book
- Personalized online training programs
- 1:1 Training, if you are in my area :-)
