There is Hope for Healthy living!!
I have always been in pursuit of a healthy lifestyle.
Over the years, I had personally worked hard to achieve a lifestyle of exercise (I was obsessed to stay fit), good food and a Super Woman mentality. Stay tuned for more talk on the Super Woman mentality on our website in a future post.
In 1996, I gave birth to a beautiful little boy with a perpetual smile and a sweet personality… When he started having troubles with his motor skills, social skills in large crowds and was not able to form full sentences to communicate, I was thankful for my Super Woman mentality because there was nothing that would stop me in finding out how to best help my son. He was diagnosed as high functioning autistic with asperger tendencies when he was in third grade. It was a long road in finding out what was going on, but I needed to know what was going on fully to be able to help him. A gluten free and casein free diet was put into place right away.
My perpetually happy young man had GREAT struggles once he was introduced to the public schools. He was totally over stimulated and could not handle the stresses that came at him from every direction and became a very aggressive (violent at times) and angry young man. This was hard for him because he was very remorseful for behaviors that he honestly could not control. The diet instantly removed the aggressive and angry behaviors which was spiked by the dairy. Stay tuned for a post on our website for the specific protocols of essential oils that we are also using to help him.
I started out purchasing processed gluten free and dairy free food which cost me my right arm. I quickly started dabbling in making food from scratch for my son and I was determined to learn how to make EVERYTHING he liked so he wouldn't feel like he was missing out on things. There was definitely a period of trial and error and foods that were not the tastiest or of the same consistency he was used to. I eventually found Better Batter Gluten Free Flour and It was love at first use!! I LOVE this flour because it can be used cup for cup like regular wheat flour and creates wonderful breads, pastries and I was able to use this flour to make everything my son enjoyed. Feel free to search our site for gluten free recipes, you will find many and i enjoy sharing my knowledge with tips and tricks to help others avoid the mistakes and struggles I experienced.
In 2010, we embraced our dream to homestead and live off-grid here in Idaho. This was the absolute best thing we have ever done. Now we live a whole foods diet, making everything from scratch, growing our own vegetables in our garden, raising our own animals for meat, eggs, and goats milk (which our boy can have in place of cows milk). We homeschool our son and learn additional skills everyday to continue our efforts to live a very traditional lifestyle. My goal was to make a good life for ourselves and help my boy overcome his biggest obstacles. We are doing it!!
Achieving a self sufficient and healthy living lifestyle is possible!! You just need to want it bad enough and just start embracing it one thing at a time as to not overwhelm yourself. The best part of such a lifestyle is enjoying the journey!
One great step in this direction is the Healthy Living Bundle that is available right now featuring a good number of my friend's books from gardening, fitness, healthy eating, homesteading, raising children and more. There are additional bonuses available as well. I hope to have my e-books featured in next years bundle if all goes well, but for now I am very honored and proud to share the works of others that I feel are very worth your time. I am always promoting a frugal mindset and to save your money, but this is a GREAT price for something that will help guide you in the direction of a Healthy Lifestyle and it won't break the bank. I purchased mine today and have already dug in to some of the books…. I LOVE to read and I LOVE learning new things ALL the time!
The resources that will be at your fingertips are endless and you have the opportunity to earn your Healthy Living Bundle for FREE.
I'd like to encourage you to take a look at the e-books, printables, videos, etc that are available to you and to allow this to be a part of your journey in embracing not only a healthy lifestyle, but you will be living the simple life too!
