The beginning of something new . . .
Something happened during this Challenge. I have a better understanding of my body, learned I had a histamine intolerance issue, lost weight and the most important thing - I have found a new direction in my life. I knew last year that I was being called to write about my illness and what it represented to me. It started last summer when I was diagnosed with a parathyroid tumor. That brought attention to my throat, AGAIN! I had been dealing with Hashimoto's for nearly 30 years and living with on-again, off-again issues. The tumor forced me to begin looking at things in a new way and when I did, things started to change. I mean really change! As a matter of fact it was so profound that I have written a book about it called Becoming Zia: A Tale of Transformation and Rebirth. I hope to have published soon! But, my story continues.
After the initial transformation my life began to take on a new focus and I knew I had to heal my body, mind and spirit. I understood that my dis-ease was bigger than just the food. Changing the food and eating AIP has been amazing and after many months of eating well the changes have been profound and I plan to continue following AIP. However, I realize that it is about more than just the food. It is about creating an inflammation free lifestyle.
So that is what I have decided to do. I've created a new website called Whole Life AIP. It has four areas - Food/Nutrition, Body/Mind, Spirit, and Lifestyle. It's a place for me to share my healing journey in hopes of helping others. It is a bigger picture of AIP, one beyond the food and takes a look a peoples entire lives and what may be missing. It's also a place for me to write, which is my passion. Plus writing about these topics will keep me connected to my own healing process while I am learning how to live my whole life with more vitality and passion. My new site also has affiliate links to products that I endorse and is a means for me to support my website and blog.
There is a Quiz on the first page of the new website to help you determine what areas of your life may be causing you inflammation. I hope you take the Quiz and let me know what you think. I would be thrilled if you all followed me on this new adventure and were part of my new healing philosophy. Starting on July 1st I will begin blogging on the new site and I'll be adding new content weekly. It's exciting! You can subscribe to the blog by filing at the form on this page.
Also beginning July 1st I will be changing the Facebook Group to the Whole Life AIP private group. It will continue being a place to support everyone in any way they need it - with food and eating AIP, body connection, losing weight, recipes, learning about loving kindness, sleep, how to reduce stress, etc. I hope you continue to participate. It's about your whole life and living it fully!
Thanks for all your support during this Whole30 Challenge and I look forward to even more! Let's get healthy together!
