Why Ditching Your Old Spring Mattress is the Best Choice for Your Body. Top Story - February 2020. Created with: Lull.
Our bodies deserve to be treated with respect. As a yoga and dance teacher, I see the importance of taking care of our bodies every day. Whether it’s low impact, high impact, dance cardio, boxing, yoga, goat yoga, rock climbing, goat rock climbing (just kidding, I’m sure the line has been drawn at goat rock climbing, but you get the gist), there’s a movement class for every body. So, why is it so hard for us to take care of our bodies when it matters most? We spend ⅓ of our lives sleeping, so let’s take a minute and really think about our sleep quality and how seriously we’re taking it.

My Celiac Story
About ten years ago, I had a routine blood test done. I went right back to school and unsurprisingly, nearly passed out. I expected to go to the nurse’s office, be given some juice or something, and wait twenty minutes. I was put in a wheelchair and sent home. I suppose the nurse could tell something was really wrong. Later that day, my mom got a call from the doctor. I was anemic and it made sense that I’d pass out after a blood test. I had been feeling faint before but didn’t say anything until it hit it’s worst yet after the blood test. And I kept feeling faint. Over and over again, for years. At first, it was ignored and I was told to get my iron levels up. Then they said my iron levels were not low enough to cause this much trouble and sent me to a myriad of specialists. There were some problems with my heart rate, but they didn’t correlate with when I was feeling faint. They tried to test me for a seizure disorder, but they only triggered migraines. As you can imagine, I was extremely frustrated. Finally, I met my now primary doctor. He wasn’t 100% sure what was wrong, but he gave me instructions such as drinking tons of water and other tricks that are now second nature. Between that and starting to drink coffee, I was able to keep myself alert. I slowly started to have stomach issues but ignored them at first.

Whole30 is a game changer
Thinking of starting a diet? I highly recommend doing a round of whole30. I’m 22 years old and I’ve been overweight my whole life. I’ve tried countless diets and fasting methods and nothing seemed to work. I did weight watchers for a while but I didn’t want to spend any more money on a diet. Whole30 was recommended to me by several people as “the best lifestyle change they’ve ever made.” I figured I had nothing to lose to see what it was all about.

The Process of Becoming Disabled...
A lot of people were born with certain disabilities. Either mental or physical. I, of course, had due to prematurity latency issues but other than that I was relatively healthy. It wasn’t until recently, after I had been dealing with pain all over my body for 5 years that I started getting answers...and those answers weren’t always welcome.

Pregnancy and Tooth Erosion
Pregnancy is not all it's cracked up to be . I envy women who have perfect pregnancies and deliveries. They never once throw up, much less get nauseous and they deliver with zero complications. Must be so nice...

Understanding What's Right For You and Your Body
Many things may cause breasts to sag over time, from pregnancy and nursing, to weight loss, to the natural process of aging. At times, these kinds of changes in your body can be undesirable, and you may wish to do something about it.

NTM: The Scariest Lung Disease That You Have Never Heard Of
NTM (nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease) is still considered rare, but cases are growing 8 percent each year. In 2018, it is estimated that 75,000–105,000 patients were diagnosed with NTM lung disease in the U.S. Since awareness of NTM lung disease is limited and the symptoms of NTM lung disease, like chronic coughing, feeling tired often and shortness of breath, are similar to other lung conditions, many people who have it may not even know it for months or sometimes years.
