Day 3 of my Vagus Nerve Healing Journey 🌿✨

On Day 1, I did my energy work in the morning, and it set a beautiful tone for the day. On Day 2, I decided to do it at night instead—and let me tell you, my sleep was absolutely phenomenal! 💤 It was honestly the best sleep I've had in years. So, I’m thinking I might continue doing my energy work in the evening going forward.

The energy work I’m doing includes EFT, sound bathing, meditation, breathwork and Reiki. It's been such a grounding practice, and I'm noticing shifts already. 🙏

This morning, I weighed myself and saw I was up a couple of pounds. In the past, I would’ve gotten frustrated and said, “Screw it” and quit. But not this time. As much as I'd like to see the scale move in the other direction, I’m reminding myself that I’m not doing this for weight loss. I’m committed to healing my body, my mind, and my soul. That is what matters most to me right now—staying focused on my healing. 🌸

I’m still dealing with some challenges. I still can't hear out of my right ear and I'm still very stuffed up. The pain persists, along with constant back pain, headaches, sleep apnea, and anxiety. But this is only Day 3. I’m not expecting perfection, just progress. I remain confident and committed, trusting that with patience and love, healing is on its way.

To anyone else out there on a similar healing path, I see you. This journey is tough, but we are stronger than we realize. 💛

🌱 Day 1 of 90: A Journey to Heal My Vagus Nerve 🌱

Today marks the first step in my 90-day journey of supporting my body, mind, and spirit through the Vagus Nerve Repair Program. I'm grounding myself in a nurturing routine that honors my body’s natural ability to heal and thrive.

I started the morning with a powerful elixir made from lemon, ginger, and turmeric—nature’s healing ingredients that gently awaken and support the body. This vibrant tonic set the tone for a mindful and intentional day.

Next, I practiced EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and repeated affirmations, centering myself and embracing a positive mindset. Journaling my emotions and sensations in the quiet of the morning allowed me to reflect deeply on how my body and mind are responding to this new practice.

Did some work, but I made sure to nourish my body with a delicious green smoothie filled with fresh greens, berries, and other vibrant, nutrient-packed ingredients. I’m focusing on fueling my body with healing foods that align with my intention of restoring my vagus nerve.

Later today, I’ll engage in a gentle workout, followed by some quiet time reading and meditating with frequency healing. This evening, I’ll close my day with a frequency healing meditation to support the calm and rejuvenating process of my body’s self-repair.

Tomorrow’s plan: I feel drawn to start and end the day with frequency healing and meditation. It’s amazing how small, consistent steps can create lasting change.

Every choice today was a loving gesture toward my wellness, and I am so excited for the next 89 days of this beautiful journey.

✨ May we all remember the profound connection between mind, body, and spirit. Healing begins from within, and every step brings us closer to a balanced, vibrant life. ✨

🚨 Big News! 🚨

As many of you know, my journey has been all about losing weight and training for competitions in the past. But now, I’m stepping into a new chapter. This time, it’s not just about aesthetics or performance—it's about healing something deep within me: my vagus nerve.

So, what is the vagus nerve? 🤔
It’s a critical part of the body’s nervous system that connects the brain to major organs, like the heart and gut. It's often called the “wandering nerve” because it impacts everything from digestion to emotional regulation. It’s directly tied to the gut-brain connection, and when it’s out of balance, it can wreak havoc on both your body and mind.

When your vagus nerve isn't functioning properly, everything from your digestion to your mental state can be affected. I’ve been dealing with so many of these symptoms myself, and after years of not having answers, I finally know why:

Ailments and Symptoms of a Dysfunctional Vagus Nerve:
🧬 Chronic Fatigue: The vagus nerve helps regulate energy levels, and if it’s not functioning properly, it can leave you feeling drained and exhausted all the time, no matter how much rest you get.

🧬 Digestive Issues: Since the vagus nerve controls gut function, it can cause issues like bloating, indigestion, constipation, or IBS. If your gut isn't properly communicating with your brain, everything gets thrown off.

🧬 Mood Swings & Anxiety: The vagus nerve plays a huge role in regulating the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps calm your stress response. Dysfunction here can lead to anxiety, panic attacks, and emotional instability.

🧬 Fight-or-Flight Response: A malfunctioning vagus nerve can prevent your body from properly shifting out of fight-or-flight mode (sympathetic dominance). This leaves you in a chronic stress state, increasing anxiety, blood pressure, and even physical tension.

🧬 Heart Problems: Vagus nerve dysfunction can affect your heart rate variability, leading to irregular heartbeats, palpitations, or even increased blood pressure.

🧬 Inflammation: The vagus nerve has anti-inflammatory effects, so if it’s not working properly, chronic inflammation can set in, contributing to conditions like arthritis, autoimmune diseases, chronic pain, and joint or bone pain.

🧬 Sleep Disorders: Poor vagal tone is often linked with insomnia or poor sleep quality, including more serious issues like sleep apnea, making it difficult to get the deep, restorative sleep your body needs to heal.

🧬 Brain Fog & Memory Issues: As the vagus nerve affects communication between the gut and brain, it can lead to issues with concentration, mental clarity, and memory.

🧬 Cancer Risk: There’s emerging research suggesting that vagus nerve dysfunction may be associated with an increased risk of cancer, likely due to its effects on inflammation, immune system regulation, and overall cell health.

🧬 Weight Gain: A malfunctioning vagus nerve can affect the regulation of appetite and metabolism, often leading to unexplained weight gain, especially when paired with digestive issues and hormonal imbalances.

For the past four and a half years, I’ve struggled with feeling constantly tired, drained, and dealing with most of the above health issues with no real answers. After a ton of research and reflection, I’ve finally figured it out—my vagus nerve has been out of sync. It’s the result of past trauma, present traumas, and stress, among other things—and it’s time to heal.

🔑 So, how am I going to do this?
Over the next 90 days, I’m committing to building new habits that will help me regenerate and support my vagus nerve. This will include:

🍏 Diet: Eating foods that support the nervous system and gut health.

✨ EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques): Using tapping to release emotional blockages.

💫 Meditation & Breathwork: Practicing techniques that calm and regulate the nervous system.

💞 Other Healing Practices: I’ll share along the way!

I’m doing this because I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired. I’m ready for real answers, and I’m ready to finally feel like myself again.

Stay tuned as I share my journey and progress—this is going to be a wild ride of healing and growth! 🌱

Today, I want to share a deeply personal and meaningful non-scale victory. After battling ovarian cancer years ago and since struggling with weight issues, I worked tirelessly six years ago to transform my mind and body, striving for health, happiness, and fitness.

The past four years have been incredibly challenging. I lost all the progress I had made, facing not just weight gain and unhappiness, but also significant health issues. However, since June 1st, I've made a commitment to consistently show up for myself. I've been hitting the gym five days a week and working hard to rediscover my happiness.

There were days when I felt disheartened, questioning why my body wasn’t reflecting the effort I was putting in. Despite my dedication, the weight loss and inflammation didn’t seem to follow. But today, I experienced a breakthrough. During a video call with my husband—no filters, just sweatpants, a t-shirt, and my hair in its natural state—I saw something I hadn’t seen in years.

My face looked less bloated, my shoulders had more definition, and my shirt no longer clung to my abdomen. These subtle changes made me feel good, marking the first time in a long while that I felt genuinely positive about myself.

I wanted to share this non-scale victory as a reminder that progress often comes slowly. But with perseverance and dedication, the hard work does pay off. I hope that when I look back on this moment next year, it will remind me of the power of consistency and the importance of believing in oneself, even when the results aren’t immediate.

🌟 Personal Update on Weight Loss Journey 🌟

I've been on a rollercoaster trying different weight loss pills from three different companies, and let me tell you, none of them worked for me. It's been frustrating, but I didn't give up. Instead, I focused on something that truly makes a difference: working out regularly and eating healthy. (I know this from the last journey where I lost 88lbs without pills or anything else and was training to compete in bikini competition)

In the past month alone, I've managed to shed 10 lbs through dedication to exercise and mindful eating. It's proof that there's no shortcut to real, sustainable weight loss.

I've noticed a troubling trend where some promote these pills as a magic solution, claiming you can shed pounds without lifting a finger or caring what you eat. That's just not true and it's promoting an unhealthy lifestyle. Taking supplements is fine if it complements a healthy routine, but it's not an excuse to neglect your body or indulge in unhealthy habits.

Let's prioritize our health and well-being by making informed choices and treating our bodies with the respect they deserve. Here's to a journey of genuine health and fitness! 💪🥗

A few days into my new lifestyle change and I have seen changes.
Some great some that rattle my nerves and feel somewhat counter productive but they aren't and i have to keep reminding myself of that

I have added fruit which I rarely ate for at least 3 year maybe longer

I eliminated:
Dairy
Eggs
Meat
All processed foods
All unnatural sugars

I feel like I have less bloating but I have gained weight. This could be due to the added sugars but most likely the change. Our brains don't like change and is probably having my body hang onto s**t right now until it gets use to what I am doing. Then it will release the fat!

I can go into a more scientific explanation but that's the just of it. If you want to know more about what I am talking about just msg me

So today I could very easily feel discouraged and spend my day upset or give up but knowing that it will take time to reep the benefits after so many years of abuse and neglect I have put my body through, I embrace this unfortunate change and hold onto the positive changes I see.

Have a blessed day!!

One day completed
Whole food plant based 90/10

This is by far the most difficult if diet changes because I have spent 3 years eating meat, take out, cheese, eggs and breads etc

This time i eliminated all. Including eggs 🥚 :(

Heading into day 2 with less bloating.
A little cranky and not feeling so great but that's expected as we detox out bodies from year of s**t we put into it.
