How do you find balance and sanity with all of the health headlines and recommendations? I am trying to be healthy so that I can enjoy life. I don’t want being healthy to be my life.
I am in my 40s and still figuring things out. I am in the medical profession, but not a doctor. I have casual and professional discussions with people almost everyday about health and life in general. This blog will reflect some of those conversations but mostly just my journey to be and stay healthy. Thanks for dropping by. Feel free to ask questions or add comments!
Speed Bump
My journey to optimal wellness took an unexpected turn. A trip to an integrative medicine clinic led to discoveries that I have Lyme disease. Lyme disease often comes with friends and it is also suspected that I may have a Bartonella infection.

Hey, thanks for stopping by to see me! I am also in my late 30s and wishing to be more healthy. Unfortunately, I live in Seattle, and our gray skies ensure that the only thing between my living and my heart beating its last, is one more shot of Starbucks.
Blessings 🙂
I thought everyone there was all outdoorsy when the rain stops. At least that’s what the job recruiting posters claim 8). I did have Starbucks after my hike. Look forward to part II of your post!

Isn’t it sad that you have to write the lengthy disclaimer? We live in a litigious age, don’t we? Thanks for visiting my blog. I plan to reciprocate!!
It is sad. I would not have even thought of it, if someone in my family had not suggested it. I am glad they did though.
I love your posts. Thanks for visiting 8).
