Hi! I’m Shelagh, (pronounced, She-la.)
Years after winning that challenge, my body began breaking down little by little. Everything I did was a struggle. My joints began to hurt. I began to gain weight. My hair, which had come back, was thinning more and more with each passing week, it seemed. My zest for life was dwindling and depression began to set in.
Although I could feel it, it was difficult to explain. All I knew to do at the time was visit my doctor to seek help. He would do the typical bloodwork, but then seemed to only want to order test upon test and prescribe traditional medicines according to the symptoms I was battling, which led to additional side-effects, and ultimately leading to more prescriptions being suggested. I did not want to treat symptoms. I wanted to get to the crux of the matter.
Then I stumbled upon something that absolutely turned my life around! I feel it was a God-intervention for sure! I started studying and researching and changing the entire way that I was living. I started with one thing at a time, beginning with scoping out the toxins in my life and getting rid of them slowly, one by one. That was just the first step. There have been many others since 2018 when I finally found the answers I needed.
Today I am feeling 10-15 years younger! I am feeling more energetic. I am stronger both emotionally and physically. My attitude does not take me to dark places that it sometimes would during my pre-cancer and early post-cancer days. Oh, I still have some down days. Who doesn't? Right?!?! However, through lifechanging events, I have found the way to turn those down times around without depending on non-healthy methods with side effects. It is so freeing and liberating!
I am happy and looking forward to each day instead of dreading how I’m going to get through another day. I no longer feel as though I am carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders. I no longer stress over who will help me in the future because I am capable to care for myself.
What about it? Do you feel you need to turn your attitude, thinking, or health around? I am here to help you.
