Welcome and Thank you for visiting me today on the maiden voyage of Gluten free yogi. My hope for this blog is to reach out to friends and friends of friends as well as community to increase awareness of how nutrition impacts our overall well being, both physically and mentally. Furthermore, I am wanting to provide a supportive space for all to share ideas, struggles, debunk myths and offer supportive direction on their nutritional journey. My goal is to offer ideas based on my personal journey and professional practice as well as share supported and cited work and information and support from a local Chiropractor who works with many aspects of holistic nutrition.
As I am sure you have noticed, especially this time of year, a plethora of information is being poured through the media. I wanted to help wade through this with all of you by relaying what I have learned through yoga, holistic care, personal study, a challenging journey with digestive disorders and support from my doctor, Dr. Vyas.
My first highlights I would like to make are this: Nutrition is an enormous mountain that is a bit more complex than simply taking the latest touted supplement, fast, detox, vegan, gluten free, structured weight loss program or any other attempt to become healthier, lose weight or help eliminate/minimize disease or illness in the body. Perhaps this is a bit intimidating but it does not have to be. Like any mountain, it can be climbed but the right tools and information make the journey much easier, full-filling and successful.
However, it begins with a few basic understandings and personal commitments: Lifestyle changes happen slowly, Nutrition is the vitality of life and exercise is journey, don't try to get fit in a day. Sit with these comments for a few minutes and reflect. How do these thoughts impact you? Let me know.
Over the next week, I will begin to outline how we will begin to climb this mountain together. How to understand and connect with your body through yoga philosophies (yes, connect and understand...more on that ;-) and how to find your starting point.
Shanti, (peace)
Michele
