I went to my wonderful chiropractor, Dr. Kevin Jordan yesterday. Started seeing Doctor Jordan a bit over a year ago. He also practices Total Body Modification & I think he works on some kind of intuitive level too, but I am not going to tarnish the man's reputation among the muggles by stating this as fact.
During my first visit with Dr. J., he conducted a series of muscle tests designed to inform about the well being of my body's workings. He found that my liver is weak and my sugars were out of control. No big surprise there. My mother died of liver failure and although I was not really worried about developing diabetes at that time, my lifestyle was leading to that result.
So, at Dr. Jordan's suggestion I began a sugar control program. For 3 weeks I strictly followed the program. No products with refined sugar in them, only sprouted wheat bread, all the fruits & veggies I want and protein protein protein. Then I had a "pig out" meal consisting of eggplant parm., pasta, beer & cake. A check in showed that my body was repairing itself thanks to the change in nutrition. I felt so good on the program that I stayed with it ...... for about 3 months anyway.
Flash forward - a visit to the good doctor yesterday showed that my sugars are once again extremely out of whack. So, here we go again.
Yesterday I did great. Fruit, veggies, protein .... no sodas, no chocolate, no problem. But yesterday I was off from work. So, the stress level was greatly reduced. Today ..... we will see. Send me some love and encouragement if you are reading this.
Many of you are probably scoffing at me right now. Thinking "TBM? hmpff". Look, all I know is that it's a crazy feeling when my muscles are being tested and I am holding for it's worth and the doc can drop my leg with a fingertip of pressure. That's all I know. & all I know is how much better I felt after certain foods were eliminated and switched up. So - scoff all you want. But get out of my way.
Better health, here I come.
