For several years, the very, very high stressful work environment pushed me to have high blood pressure as well.  So I have first hand knowledge of how difficult these chronic illnesses can be.  Anyone dealing with a whole lot of stress, just know it's a killer.  Get it under control.  I have ascertained  a lot of great information along the way to help me deal with these situations   The most effective, by far, has been to take a root cause approach to healing. However, having knowledge, alone, does not translate into wellness.  Application of the knowledge and tools you learn are paramount, and it can be done.  It is important to know your root causes and be about discovering ways to manage them.  There is usually more than one approach, but, regardless, addressing the root cause is key--at least you have a better chance for success. 

 

This declaration applies to chronic metabolic issues and does not apply to acute illness or emergency situations.

​

I want, to encourage all who are reading this, to take care of yourself and don't just give your life over to the system to look out for you.  Do your homework, ask questions and open your eyes to what is going on around you.  Everything that is handed to you systematically is not necessarily in your best interest  Get knowledge and understanding about everything important that concerns you.  As my mentor would say "the physician of the future is the patient". 

​

So, be blessed.

Don't talk about it, be about it!

Love Elaine
