My 3 Simple Pillars For Energy And Health. Increased Energy and Easy Weight Loss
Table of Contents
These are the 3 powerful pillars that have greatly improved my energy and health during the past few years….I’ve reduced my need for chemotherapy, improved my energy levels, regained my power, improved my overall health and survival rate…and often get asked how do I look so young.
My 3 Simple Pillars For Better Energy and Better Health
My theory is I’m using these simple pillars to stack the seesaw in my healing favor, giving my body the best possible chance to heal and fight…
What Are My 3 Simple Pillars For Energy and Health?
A Healthy Low Carb Lifestyle
Reducing Toxins
Whole Food Nutritionals
1. A Healthy Low Carb Lifestyle
This is the First of My 3 Simple Pillars For Energy And Health.
It is so important what we feed our bodies every day with quality instead of quantity.
This style of eating consists of healthy, clean, whole foods that are low in sugars (glucose), are low anti-inflammatory foods, and are rich in nutrients.
The basic concept is reducing inflammation in the body and taking away the food can enhance cancer growth, therefore starving the cancer cell!!!
It’s NOT unlimited amounts of dairy, cream, processed meats, or artificial sweeteners…unfortunately, this is what many uneducated gurus are promoting as a low-carb diet.
but,
this (Dirty Keto) is not a method that should be used for healing or overall health, it is potentially highly inflammatory, toxic, and nutrient-depleted.
There is more and more research that is becoming available to support a healthy paleo, keto (low carb) lifestyle as a healing tool for brain issues, digestive disturbances, autoimmune disease, and many cancers.
Following a Low Carb, lifestyle helps to reduce hunger, insulin imbalances, and sugar cravings.
“The energy I get from using Ketones is one reason why I choose to eat this way”
2. Reducing Toxins
This is the second of My 3 Simple Pillars To Improving My Energy And Health.
This is a topic that has had a strong presence in our media lately and low energy is often a symptom of toxins.
Toxins are in the air we breathe to the foods we eat, even the homes we live in, and of course…physical and mental Stress –harmful chemicals and toxic environments are everywhere.
You may already be trying to reduce the environmental toxins that come into your life, but what if you’re still exposing yourself to high levels of toxins every day that could affect your health?
How are toxins affecting our health?
The World Health Organization has linked over a third of all childhood deaths to environmental causes. Not only that, there has been an ever-rising rate of diseases such as autism, asthma, ADHD, obesity, diabetes, and even birth defects
The chemical environment’s impact on our health is becoming critical.
It can be hard for people to limit their exposure, particularly because these chemicals are so readily available.
They’re in the air, water, soil, food, and cosmetic products such as creams and lotions.
Many factors such as our diet (food choices as mentioned above), exercise or lack of, stress or even childhood trauma can affect the outcome of our exposure to certain chemicals.
Unfortunately, when we’re regularly exposed, these toxins can accumulate within our bodies, hiding within our organs, deep tissues, and even the brain.
Even though Intermittent Fasting could hold a pillar of its own to improving my energy and health it is all about reducing toxins in our body and how magical our internal system can be at removing any damage if given the chance.
This was an interesting discovery…the thought that just not eating can help our bodies heal internally just seemed crazy.
I was so wrong…
First, What is Intermittent Fasting?
And…
how does Intermittent fasting fall into Reducing Toxins?
Intermittent Fasting is an eating pattern where you cycle between periods of eating and fasting. It’s not about what foods to eat, but rather when you should eat them.
You may be fasting and not even know it…most people already “fast” every day, while they sleep.
Intermittent fasting can be as simple as extending that fast a little longer, this is as simple as moving out breakfast or skipping it altogether and eating your first meal at noon, plus not eating after dinner at night.
This is when you’re technically fasting for 16 hours every day, and restricting your eating window to 8-hours. This is the most popular form of intermittent fasting, known as the 16/8 method.
Why Intermittent Fasting?
These fasting periods are used to ‘cleanse,’ ‘detoxification’ or ‘purify,’ our bodies – to abstain from eating food for a certain time.
People believed that this period of abstinence from food would clear their systems of toxins and rejuvenate them.
In addition,
fasting offers many important unique advantages that are not available in other typical diets.
It’s free to do, no wheat or nut allergies to worry about, no particular food groups needed, and does require any time commitments, cooking methods, or if you have problems with chewing or swallowing.
You can still fast.
It’s Simple. Saves money. Saves time. Flexible. Powerful. Available anytime, anywhere. What could be better than that?
The combination of Intermittent Fasting and a Low Carb / Whole Food Lifestyle work in synergy.
My Personal Experience.
At first, the concept of just skipping a meal seemed so hard…but with the changes I had made with my food and being able to balance my insulin levels and stop my sugar cravings, it was fairly easy to do.
After doing just a 16/8 Intermittent Fast a few times, I noticed I felt better and had more energy during the fasting period.
Toxic Stress.
If you’re stressed, whether by your job or something more personal, the first step to feeling better is to identify the cause.
In life, even though sometimes it may not seem possible, there’s always a solution to a problem,
“Not taking control of the situation and doing nothing will only make your problems worse.”
The keys to good stress management are building emotional strength, being in control of your situation, having a good social network, and adopting a positive outlook.
The most unhelpful thing you can do is turn to something unhealthy and potentially destructive to help you cope, such as smoking or drinking.
So, what can we do?
Below are some key things I did to help fight my chronic fatigue and my cancer
First, take note of your surrounding environment for toxins, and looking for things that you CAN control is the first step.
Change your drinking water to purified water instead of straight from the tap, change to using clean natural, beauty, washing, and cleaning products.
Reduce sugar (glucose), alcohol, and processed meats, and for some people nuts and dairy.
Instead, choose to eat more organic and grass feed, whole foods that are rich in nutrients (see above for the low carb lifestyle) when possible, and another simple one is – don’t have your phone beside your bed when you are sleeping.
This is an important part of Reducing Toxins. Once I started to look deeper into this subject, I was amazed at the importance of our mental energy…positive and negative.
Mindset is often overlooked.
Our mind is incredibly powerful and if we feed our minds negative, toxic, and destructive messages we can cause damage internally to our body…but if we feed it with positive, supportive, and encouraging messages we can support our internally healing and reduce the negative effect.
Why is a positive mindset so important?
A Negative attitude and feelings of helplessness and hopelessness can create chronic stress, which upsets the body’s hormone balance, depletes the brain chemicals required for happiness, and damages the immune system.
When fighting a chronic illness it’s so important to keep our hormones balanced, support our immune system and importantly reduce the effects of stress on our health.
When I found out I had Chronic Illness and Chronic Fatigue, I thought, “Great! I just need to stop eating gluten, junk food, energy drinks, and the lollies I was having every day and I’ll be healed!”
I was wrong!
Then I discovered the importance of wholefood keto (paleo ketogenic) eating and I thought, “I just need to follow this diet perfectly and I’ll be healed!”
Not quite.
Then I started researching and learning about gut infections and I thought, “I just need to help support the healing of my Gut and I’ll be on my way to healing!”
That wasn’t it either.
And I thought the same thing when I learned about my hormones, a new nutritional supplement, or foods or drinks I should avoid and those I should consume.
Here’s the truth: no matter my diet, no matter how perfect my supplements are, no matter what I didn’t eat or drink … none of it would ever truly ‘heal’ me.
All of the above were working in their own right but together they were so much more powerful…plus adding in Mindset.
When we feed our minds negative, toxic, and destructive messages we can cause damage internally to our body, Chronic stress can cause chronic illness!.
A growing body of research has shown that people’s mindsets can measurably affect physical healing.
