A few years ago, I was not in a good place physically, emotionally, or spiritually. Given some trying life events, along with my age, I believed this was the way I was supposed to feel. I believed there wasn’t anything I could do about it. I believed my only choice was to accept my circumstances, embrace this “normal” process of aging, and try to make the best of it.

 

Boy, was I wrong!

 

Thankfully, through as a series of circumstances, I began a journey that opened up a whole new, exciting, and life-altering world to me. I began learning that this wasn’t the way I was supposed to feel and there was definitely something (a lot of somethings!) I could do to change it.

 

I am excited to share these resources which have been extremely helpful in my health and wellness journey. This ever-growing Resource List includes very dedicated, determined, and well-respected doctors, scientists, and researchers in the health and wellness space, as well as standout leaders in the self-improvement world.  Their work is revolutionizing current and very outdated beliefs and practices and is impacting the lives of millions of people. I am so blessed to be one of them. 

 

Please note: this list is far from complete. As I learn more and more, I will continue to add to it. While I am not a medical professional, I am on a quest to reach and understand the dynamics of optimal health and wellness, not only for myself, but for others who are also looking for answers.
