How It All Started

Hey I'm Myrika! I am a mother to 2 (will be 3 in June) beautiful little children who light up my life. The last few years I have struggled with some reoccurring health issues and I talked to my doctor multiple times with no good answers. I started to recognize and correlate how I was feeling with certain things that I was eating. When I would cut those particular things out of my diet I would see improvements in my health. This lead me to start doing more research into how health problems can be connected to our diet and environment. I read what was for me a life changing book called "Toxic, Heal Your Body" by Neil Nelson, M.D., that completely flipped my understanding of my health. Our bodies have organs to help us clear out toxins that we take in and don't need, but if we are putting in more toxins than these organs can clear out then they can't do their job and our bodies will react accordingly. This toxic overload can be the cause of poor immunity, sensitivities, weight gain, poor skin and hair, infertility and so many other symptoms. It is mind blowing how many chemicals and toxins are in EVERYTHING around us: our food, our cleaning supplies, our water, the dust/molds in our homes, our beauty products, etc. I started to make small changes and right away I saw a dramatic improvement in my health. I was shocked and blown away. It is baffling to me that there is not more information about this topic out there! I wanted to share my journey of discovery as I go in hopes of helping others see how important it can be. I will be sharing my progress to a less toxic and more minimal life. I am so glad you are here!
