My what is Leaky?!

I know we all self diagnose (shout out to all my WebMD lovers) But I would say that when it comes to self diagnosing I may be a gold medalist. When it comes to researching I have it all and I may die at any minute so say your goodbyes now! HA- of course I joke.

But really- how do you digest when you find out that one of the major causes to anything I have been feeling and I mean some big hitters like sever anxiety and depression is actually linked to my GUT LEAKING! Excuse me? That is a lot to digest (no pun intended) and a huge learning curve for most.

I am fortunate enough to be in a setting where it is easy for me to learn more, grow from my mistakes/the mistakes of our environment and work hard to fix this leak of my insides in hopes to restore my sanity and decrease some of these symptoms that haunt and keep me up at night. But what about everyone else? What about your friend, mother, sister, husband?! What about the stranger sitting next to you as you read this dump blog? All of these people in the world are desperate for answers with NO WHERE to find them. The traditional medical system and standards have failed them. They have had so many "answers" and tried so many different things that they have now decided that they are just doomed to suffer, fail and worry because that is "just the way that it is".

I find myself continually searching for answers. Trying to find the next best version of myself both physically and mentally because I refuse to accept that this is "just the way that it is". NO IT'S NOT. It doesn't have to be. Keep searching for those answers and trust yourself- your body is telling you what it needs; you just need to be open to listening to it!

My journey to a healthy gut starts here and now; though it will be slow and limited until the days of nursing come to an end I am determined to improve my lifestyle and prevent the same issues to be the norm of my children. Healthy mama's make healthy babies.

It starts with me and it starts with you. Stay tuned, I plan to share the good, bad and ugly along the way. Until next time.
