I’m so glad Val Marie Paper will live in. It is the #1 thing that has grown my prayer life. You work so hard and purple who follow your soundtrack absolutely love the wisdom you share.

Delighting in Jesus is 100% on my wishlist and I’m hoping to get to it this year. Every book you post about sounds good, I just need more hours in my day (don’t we all). I was so happy to learn about The Way Out by Alan Gordon. It has really helped me confront my pain head on and it’s nearly gone. I’m getting ready to try getting off my nerve pain medication and see if I’m still good.

Like you I have my struggles with pain and fatigue. I’ve known for a long time there is a connection to our food supply and I went paleo in 2003. I did great for a long time on paleo but multiple, large, high stress situations set me back quite a bit and certainly made significant changes to my body. At 51, I’ve been trying to lose weight for a year with no change in my weight and I’m over 200lbs-it makes no sense. I recently found out I have PCOS so that’s caused a lot of research in areas I’ve never looked at before including long periods of fasting, carnivore diet, oxalates, phytic acid, lectins, mast cell activation syndrome, hormone optimization, therapeutic peptides and so much more. Just trying to find the solution to my pain and the discomfort of being in my body.

Last year, I found a hormone specialist to optimize my hormones, I started Lindywell, while re-starting paleo. Doing that, in lost no weight, but I certainly felt my core become more stable. In January I started weights and had some very small loss (.6lbs every 10 days) My goal is to lose a one/week (not unrealistic at my weight) so I decided to start carnivore about 10 days ago, as the ultimate elimination diet. I’m eating more calories, more protein and more fat. I did have a couple days of oxalate dumping (READ: Toxic Superfoods) which not everybody had but I’m losing more than 1lb/week, I can lift more weight, I’m not starving most of the time, fasting is a breeze and I feel up for doing more activity. I’m considering an 8 week cycle of peptide therapy of MOT-C and Tesamorelin to target belly fat and repair damaged mitochondria, which is a problem for persons with PCOS.

Well….maybe this was TMI but I feel like I started on my healing path through your posts. Thank you for that. I will certainly be praying that your mold mitigation brings you relief. Keep spreading the good news!
