The Holistic PCOS Chick

Look who grabbed the weights and decided to join Mommy today?! Its exciting to see the kids interested in what Mommy is doing and why we have made some many healthy changes over the last few years.  I started on my healthy journey for a few reasons. The first reason was that I was tired of being fatigued and sick often, and simply wanted to feel better and be more present with my family. The second was to place more value on the temple The Almighty put me in. We only get one body and should be more diligent to care for it! The third reason was to teach my family how to live a healthier lifestyle so they could pass it along for generations to come! And the last reason? Well that is just a bonus of making healthier choices daily.

They help cleanse the body of the old and prepare for the new. A hea
