So it’s a new year and I’ve had so many mixed emotions as I’m nowhere near where I thought I’d be. The beginning of 2019 I set out to do everything in my power to get out of pain and get well after living too long from the sidelines. And then instead of getting better, I got sicker. But God had a perfect plan in leading me to @bioresetmedical 🌟 I went there for pain management, but they also happen to be a leader in treating chronic disease. Treatments to reduce inflammation and boost immune function started removing toxins and killing viruses I didn’t know I had, and as Lyme disease is killed it produces a neurotoxin that causes pretty unbearable die-off symptoms. But every time my body rejected a treatment, my incredible medical team came up with a new one. And we are finally onto something! Ozone dialysis along with IVs targeting brain inflammation are slowly, bit by bit helping. I’m going back to California next week for 7 days of treatment, and while I still have a long way to go, I am immensely grateful for every step forward. I now realize that I’ve had Lyme disease for a very long time...probably since childhood. It caused a host of mysterious symptoms, exacerbated pain, inhibited healing, caused depression and chronic fatigue. For as long as I can remember I felt trapped in a body I was at odds with and grasped to feel in control of something...anything. It took everything crumbling down around me these last few years for God to finally get through to me...my identity needs to be grounded in Him. My joy needs to flow from Him. My hurt can be healed in Him. My future is secure because of Him. I am ready for a new year of healing, and whatever this year holds, I can go into it with confidence that “His ways are higher than my ways, and His thoughts are higher than my thoughts.”✨ #hope #lymedisease #lymewarrior #lymediseaseawareness #chronicillness #chronicpain #regenerativemedicine #functionalmedicine #ozonetherapy #ozonedialysis @bioresetmedical #healing #healingjourney #health #newyear #newyearnewme #healthcoach #iinhealthcoach #iinalumni @iinalumni @shetheroar @yolanda.hadid

You can’t get much more festive than this spiced cider punch! And no punch is complete without a punch mold...it looks pretty but also keeps the punch cold without diluting the flavor. Take a bundt pan and add 1 bottle of @traderjoes winter wassail beverage. Top with orange slices, fresh cranberries & cinnamon sticks. Stick it in the freezer for at least 8 hours. To make the punch, combine 1 bottle winter wassail, 1/2 gallon apple cider and 2 bottles non-alcoholic ginger beer...or go all in and make it boozy, it’s Christmas, after all🎄#whospikedthepunch #privatechef #howiholiday #party #partyfood #entertaining #menuplanning #christmas #christmastime #food #goodfood #instafood #chef #cheflife #tampa #tampabay #tampaeats #holidays #mostlyhealthychef
