Had a headache all night therefore no sleep. Got up with headache, laid back down on the couch, opps now I’m late!! Had husband drop me off and the start gun already went off 😬 now I’m running to the start and everyone already went through I’m the very last one. No warm up. Got to go! Adrenaline pumping from me being late. I hope I didn’t wear myself out running to the start line. I just kept going and going. Felt good to be actually passing people ( the walkers and strollers). Brutal on the uphills but amazing on the downhills. Tried my best to sprint on through the finish line. Then I vomited 🤮 several times. Later I check the race stats and OMG got first place 🥇 in my age group!!!! Yayyy 🤗💐💪
It was all worth it. And it supports a good organization for children.

Had a great time at Eye of the Dragon 10 k and Tail of Lizard 2 miler. Slay the Dragon challenge - both races. So proud of Janet who was right on point with her pace time goal. And Sandy who is rehabbing an injury and somehow still placed 3rd in her age group!! My goal was to stay the same 10k time as last year but be faster at the 2 mile -14 sec faster 🤗

Happy day! All goals achieved 💪👏🤗🥇

HIIT for Parkinson’s have shown it may delay progression. Not many will tolerate that intensity of exercise. Start slow and gradually increase.

Why are our classes so intense? "Forced exercise," or exercises that force participants to move faster than they normally would, has been shown to have a powerful impact on people with Parkinson's. Recent studies have shown that this type of exercise may enhance brain function, combat bradykinesia, and improve movement quality in people with Parkinson's.

Check out my interview with Dr. Andrea at Bodhi Acupuncture! I love how different healthcare disciplines can work together for the patients’ best interest and optimal healing.

Why do so many people still feel pain even when their MRI or X-rays look “normal”?In this in-depth conversation, Dr. Andrea Izquierdo L.Ac. of Bodhi TCM Acup...

I love this!!! They are now testing the arsenic and pesticide levels in candy. Go to the website for a list of the candy that was tested.

To make the best choices for their families’ health, Floridians need reliable, unbiased, and up-to-date information on the products at the grocery store.

Until recently, this information has been difficult to obtain because big food corporations and regulators have not been transparent about the presence of contaminants of concern in popular food and drinks. But now, Florida is advancing the MAHA mission by ensuring transparency for all.

As part of our Healthy Florida First initiative, and have been conducting rigorous testing of products marketed for children—including infant formula and candy. Publishing the results of these tests at ExposingFoodToxins.com reflects our commitment to evidence-based evaluation, consumer protection, and ensuring the safety of food products available to Florida families.
