What rejuvenates you? Creates Joy, Peace, Hope? What do you do that supports your health, decreases stress, or helps you cope emotionally?

What is relaxing and rejuvenating to one person could be actually stressful for others. And sometimes, we think that what gives us a quick, temporary boost may actually undermine our long term progress.

It is worth thinking about how we can support our long term health and goals, assess if and how we may be sabotaging ourselves, and devise strategies to truly support ourselves.

I am starting the new year with a confession. I am a recovering perfectionist and have let life and the need to "get it right" in "healing" and in my social media to overwhelm me to the point of not posting. I have been discouraged, fatigued, frustrated, overwhelmed, and also embarrassed that I haven't "had my act together". I have wanted to give the best, in depth information. Well researched of course (oh the rabbit holes that I follow). Complete and bullet proof.

Well folks, I am back. Maybe not as consistently as I would like (or the experts say that I need to be to encourage the algorithms to show anyone my posts). BUT, if you can actually see my posts, please know that, like you perhaps, I struggle with health issues, life problems and distractions, and with all the crazy feelings that we have had to process over the last couple years. I will work on being more consistent with my presence here. I want my page to be a resource for finding interesting and helpful information. Hopefully I will be able to build it bit by bit. I would like the private groups to be a place that is active with discussions, questions, and hopefully solutions.

I will start by saying that if you are struggling with depression, anxiety, insomnia, chronic pain and health issues, and other ubiquitous problems and feelings, as least you will know that I understand these things on a personal level. I used to think I had to be perfectly healed in order to be an authority on healing. Now, I think that it could be just as important to have someone that is going through the struggles WITH you. I will share my good days and some of my bad. I have had a lot of "bad" days for awhile; and like many, I tend to shut down, pull inward, and isolate when I am hurting, exhausted, or dealing with difficult things. I, like many, don't post when I can't "be positive". I am working to change that.

I hope that this year is calmer and allows for some healing on many levels. Wishing us all a healthier, happier, and more prosperous New Year. I have missed you all!

Oh MY! Those who know me well know that I don't recommend eating packaged foods BUT, I can wholeheartedly recommend these for people with chronic issues that may need a quick and nutritious meal during a flare up, OR for those of us that love to camp but lament the lack of GF healthy options - these are PERFECT! Delicious, easy, transportable. I am so excited. They also have AIP compliant meal options, as well as, vegan (which I do not recommend long term, but good to have options)

Acetylcholine is a a neurotransmitter (brain chemical) that supports memory and cognition. Symptoms of poor acetylcholine activity include:

--Loss of visual and photographic memory
--Loss of verbal memory
--Memory lapses
--Impaired creativity
-- Difficulty with comprehension, math, recognizing faces, mental speed, and directions and spatial orientation

Early signs of acetylcholine impairment are the earliest presentations of Alzheimer's disease and dementia.

The popularity of the low-fat diet has impacted acetylcholine in many people -- healthy animal fats rich in choline promote acetylcholine activity.

If the brain is not getting sufficient choline, it breaks down brain tissue for phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylserine, 2 fat-based components of brain tissue.

Foods rich in choline include liver and organ meats, egg yolks, beef, tofu, nuts, cream and milk fat, and fatty cheeses (although dairy is inflammatory for many people).

Stable blood sugar is also key for both acetylcholine and general brain health.
