I had a meeting with Dr. Jack on the phone yesterday. I love the times we get to do that. Prior to our conversations I email him all kinds of questions I have. I ask him about all kinds of things that jump into my head and he patiently explains them all. I take notes while he talks, and then memorize the things he explains so they become part of my knowledge base.
I could listen to him teach things for days. He is always researching and learning, and so he has a great deal of new information.
In our conversation yesterday, I was talking with him about how there are these huge changes that go on inside of me and all of a sudden I realize the difference. Those are my favorite changes. A great example is the day I realized that the Hashimoto fog had lifted. If you never had that brain fog, you are soooooooooooo lucky. It really is awful walking around every single day in the haze of memory problems, like that feeling when you stumble out of bed with little sleep. I was beyond ecstatic the day it left.
There are also changes that happen which are more even more subtle but then, again, one day you just realize they occurred. Ten months later these great changes are still happening. My non Doctor brain has figured out that I must have had the worst clogged up little cells ever! They must have been suffocating for for food and water and help!? I am grateful that they hung on until someone educated me in how to better care for them. Their healing has helped them to give me back gifts that I thought were lost.
When we were talking I mentioned to Dr. Jack, “You know, it’s weird, but inside, all of a sudden, I feel like I am about twenty eight.” He laughed, “I know! I tell people that all the time, too!”
This way of living does that! It doesn’t just change the number on the scale, it changes you so much on a cellular level, that everything inside of you gets healthier! And is so much so, that you start thinking and feeling half your age. And no!! I am not kidding. You feel every day like you are aging backwards.
When my mental fog lifted, I remember telling Dr. Jack, I felt as good as I did in my early forties. A few months later when my physical pain disappeared, I felt like I was about thirty five, then it got easier to move and do things, more weight fell away and I felt like I was about thirty two.
And now I feel like I am in my late twenties….long before I ever heard the word Hashimoto and before I had hypothyroidism. My thoughts are clear and quick. I can solve problems at lightning speed, I am happy and optimistic about my life. I look forward to new days. I wake up thinking about everything I can do in a single day! I enjoy everything, people, new experiences. I welcome changes and adapt quickly. I rest peacefully each night. I seriously feel inside as though I am young!!
I have said it a million times but I am saying it again…. Why would you choose to pump yourself up with caffeine, sugar, yucky processed foods, killing fast foods, and especially manufactured drugs that falsely claim to make you well, when you could make a few small changes and turn back the clock?? Turn the aging process totally around?? My 28 year old brain just can’t understand that….
