Sooooo.... I got a call from my Dr. re: my thryoid (I have Hoshimotos, an auto immune thyroid disorder) and cholesterol lab work. Since I started this journey my thyroid keeps getting better at each check. :) I'm only at 1 grain now! I was up to over 2 grains just 2 years ago. (I see a naturopath and she works in grains) But the BEST news is my cholesterol. My triglycerides went from 328 (gulp!) to 85~optimal!! My good cholesterol went from 42 to 61~optimal! and bad is at 80~optimal! (need to check my paper work for that #..) So WHOOOO HOOOO!! All the changes I've made with eating and exercise has made a significant positive impact on my health!! For some reason I never really thought about what's been going on in the inside of my body. This is an awakening of where I was. A very scary one at that. I NEVER want to go back there again. Also, I was taking a natural blood pressure medicine and now I am off of it!!! I still check my blood pressure regularly to make sure it stays in range. Exercise helps a lot with this. It is a great stress reliever which also helps lower blood pressure!
