Hello, I’m Angel, and I want to welcome you to my corner of happiness and wellness!
Let me begin by sharing that I was quite a selective eater for most of my life, navigating a tight grocery budget. My childhood was filled with buttery pasta (because red sauce was a no-go), bologna sandwiches, and on special occasions, indulgent ham and cheese hot pockets, all washed down with delicious soda or Kool-Aid (yes, those sweet, sugary packets). While these dishes might sound tempting, they came at a cost. As a child and well into adulthood, I battled various health issues, including crippling headaches, debilitating stomach cramps, persistent leg pains, and troublesome eczema, to name just a few. Why am I sharing this with you? Because despite countless visits to doctors and consultations with specialists from the age of ten into my twenties, not a single medical professional ever attributed my symptoms to my diet. It was all chalked up to genetics, something I’d have to endure.
Fast forward to today, after years of immersing myself in nutrition, lifestyle, and holistic health research, I’ve uncovered what no one told me. My food choices, thoughts, emotions, and even my surroundings all play pivotal roles in my health. Through gradual changes and unwavering determination on my part, those persistent symptoms that haunted me for years are now distant memories.
I’ve established this blog as a platform to share my newfound knowledge with others who may have, like me, endured unexplained symptoms in the past or are currently grappling with them. My aim is to help you comprehend the significance of our choices and how they can profoundly impact your well-being, potentially transforming your life for the better. So, please, embark on this journey with me as we learn and evolve together. I want to assure you that I’m far from perfect; I make mistakes and indulge in cupcakes occasionally, just like you. However, together, we can make better choices most of the time and savor the benefits they bring. Enjoy our shared adventure! 😊
