Start Somewhere

You must start somewhere. Many of us with chronic illness are told there is nothing we can do. Well, that simply does not fit my personality. There is ALWAYS something you can do. 

How does change happen? In my experience it happens with a jump start and is followed by persistence, persistence, persistence. In addition, I think the most important component of change is forgiveness. You will falter. You will fail. And when that happens you must forgive yourself and keep going.

The week before 2015 I found my jump start. I went to a Functional Medicine doctor with expertise in autoimmune disorders. See more about Functional Medicine. The meeting was hopeful, inspiring, and just what I needed to commit to a major life change. 

My doctor suggested genetic testing and food allergy testing to get a better diagnostic picture. Each piece of the puzzle will steer me in the right direction.  

How can I keep this momentum going into the new year? The plan is to set big goals, but make small changes over a long period of time. I hope to write a blog post on December 31st, 2015 entitled "The Best Health of My Life."
