One of the many things I love!

I am so excited to share Earthley Wellness with you!

I have been trying to live a more natural lifestyle since being diagnosed with PCOS a few years ago and although this has been a journey that I've had to navigate and learn along the way, I feel like I am making strides to better mine and my family's health.

I feel like it's important to share information with those who may not know where to begin with natural living, and to provide those people with natural alternatives that are easy to use, understand, are affordable and won't easily overwhelm.

It is my hope that I'll be successful on both ends of this scale and would like to invite you all to learn about Earthley Wellness. It's a company I have come to know and love.

Of course, I won't just be sharing products, I'll also be offering information about living a natural lifestyle and sharing some of our personal lifestyle along the way.

Welp, the big C came to our house...

As the title says, Covid hit our house. Luckily for us it was not severe, just like an annoying headcold. I had the worst eye socket pain for a day or 2, then the cough, a weird version between a dry and wet cough. Then my taste and smell left for about 3-4 days. My boys, both had a fever for one night, then were back at life as if nothing ever happened the next morning. My husband had a headache for a few days. 

The whole time we took Elderberry Elixir, Immune Aid, Feel Better Fast, and our normal vitamins which includes a multi, fish oil, zinc, vitamin d and I continued taking myo-inositol and DIM, which I take for PCOS. We also drank LOTS of tea and chicken broth.

It's now a 2 weeks after the fevers hit and we're back to normal. My husband and I do still have this very annoying phlegm and I'm taking Sinus Saver before bed and that seems to really help for sleep and the stuffyness that comes if I don't.

Another Year

 Yesterday was my birthday! It was a beautiful quiet day at home that ended with our family snuggled on the couch.

We have 2 birthdays within 3 days of each other so we took the week off from school. The boys think I'm the best mom for that, 😆. I asked for them to not bicker for my present, and they delivered! It was wonderful.

My momma text me around 2 saying if it is like the day I was born (back in the late 80's) then the sun would come out just after 3. She was right! The sun shone warmly in our living room for that hour. Thank you nature for the lovely birthday gift!

Where I started...

 Here's my story. Way back in the ancient days of Pre-Pandemia circa 2018 I was diagnosed with PCOS. Oddly for me, my symptoms weren't onset until after having my second child. Abnormally heavy flow, inability to lose weight no matter what I tried and the string of pearls found on both my ovaries. My GYN was awesome, well I thought so, until she called for my follow up after being diagnosed and said she won't be practicing anymore. There was another doctor in the same medical complex that she was transferring her patients to, if they wanted. Sooo I go, and basically this new doctor says, "Welp for PCOS I put everyone on birth control so your period isn't so heavy." I'm like WHAT?!  Can we try to fix it instead? (I was on bc from teens to early 20's and hated how I felt on it, so I stopped.) She said that she doesn't know anything more about how to help it!!!!!! I said no thank you and got up and left. My trust and hope in the medical community was crushed.

I went home and seriously Dr. Google and I spent so much time together:

-What is PCOS

-What causes PCOS

-How can I help my PCOS

-Best diet for PCOS

So many different options/opinions seriously within 10 minutes of searching. The hard part is discerning which would be right for me. First thing I did...The Whole 30.

It was tough but a good kick in the pants to switch to this lifestyle. Then Paleo. Then I remembered the 100 Days of Real Food Blog I found and enjoyed a few years prior. My husband was on board for whatever needed to be done for my health. Our 2 boys were young enough they didn't have a choice in all the veggies we were now eating (and I'm lucky enough they aren't picky eaters!!!)

After a few months of diet change and not seeing much difference I decided to keep looking for answers. I found the book "The Hormone Cure" by Dr. Sara Gottfried. It's a wonderful book that quizzed, answered, and explained/gave some supplements for what could possibly help. Finally some help I can and do use!

Now where I'm at in my journey (a few years in) is continually looking for simple, real, whole, natural ways to live and be in all aspects of my life. I describe myself as a semi-crunchy, homeschooling, outdoor loving, farm dreaming lady. I tried to think of more adjectives, but the coffee hasn't kicked in yet :)

I'd love for you to join along and hear your story too, join me here or in my private Facebook group Living HEALthy At Home.
