When I started eating those foods, I made it every day and incorporated most of those foods in every single meal and snack. You of course, should make sure to have some sugars in your diet, but I made sure to incorporate some if not all of those plus lots of water every single day.

I have had to quit drinking coffee/alcohol, but since I'm feeling pretty much 100% better, I'm going to try and incorporate it back into my diet after eating breakfast. The only other thing I have really had to control is my mental (stress management) and my heart rate because it was high due to my cortisol levels.

Make sure to take a walk in the morning for 10 minutes or more. Bring your water with you if you need it, that's what I did and still do. Have a routine when you wake up before and/or after the walk - include the walk in your morning routine! Don't scroll on your phone first thing in the morning. Meditate. Also, ginger and green tea after a meal help to lower your blood sugars. I struggled for a good 2 months after constantly feeling faint and gaining weight due to eating so much food from that feeling. I'm finally feeling so much better and all of these things actually really helped me.

Something else that has really helped me are Happy Mammoth's Hormone Harmony pills. I couldn't really feel the effects at first, but once I started to feel better, I felt the effects. This will help to balance out your hormones which includes cortisol, your stress hormone.

You are awesome! Thank you so very much for all your suggestions. I’m so happy that you are feeling better. I am determined to feel well again. There was a time when I couldn’t get off the couch. I am so much better than that. I have a lot more to go.

Some of the things I have done: lots of meditation using Calm app, tapping using Tapping Solutions app, Deepak Chopra’s app, Fitbit watch. I try to eat clean but I need to do more. I need to give up coffee.

Can’t wait to try the Happy Harmony pills and change up my diet.

Thank you, again!❤️❤️
