Chapters

What would you say are three to five things that could help someone reclaim their health and end chronic illness forever in their family? A few things. One is make your home a safe zone. In the home, only have stuff that's going to support your health and well-being. No ultra-processed food in the house. Third thing is don't drink your liquid sugar calories. Sodas, sweetened coffees, sweetened teas, energy drinks, sports drinks, Gatorade, that's just got to go. And artificial sweeteners aren't a whole lot better. Really? Even if it says zero sugar, but it's got artificial sweetener. Yeah, they're problematic. You know, getting healthy is a team sport. A buddy. Part of the drivers of chronic illness is loneliness, is disconnection, is isolation. Cultivating your relationships, invest in those. I think it's not as complicated as people think. We have to live in our bodies. It doesn't have to be a lot. Going from zero to something, you see most of the benefit. So going from zero to a half an hour walk a day, you get enormous benefit.
