Welcome to my journey.

Hello, bloggers!

My name is Michaela, and for the past several years, I have had MAJOR health issues to be only a 17 year old girl.  IBS, headaches, migraines, joint pain, you name it.  By the age of 15, I had had 18 x-rays--more than many people have in one lifetime.  However, to my disappointment, the many tests, x-rays and doctor's visits never really helped me.

I had received no real solutions.

Until...

About 6 years ago, a book was introduced to my mom (who has many of the same issues) and I by a dear family friend.  This book is called The Maker's Diet.  It is a lifetime plan which the author used to 'cure' himself of his many issues.  Anyways, I will spare you the details.  If you want to learn more about Jordan Rubin's story, you can go here to buy the book.  (It is also sold at major book stores.)  Long story short, my mom and I decided to try it out.

AND IT WORKED!

Basically, the book is a plan that helps us eat the way the Maker designed.  It is based off of the diet of the people of Biblical times.  It contains three phases; the first being VERY strict, with each one following becoming more lenient.  My mom and I started this when I was in the 7th grade.  We did very well for about two years.  Then, one Christmas, we were tempted by these delicious seven layer cookies...

It was all downhill from there.

So, here I am, about to be a Freshman at BYU-I, with major stomach issues, headaches at least once a day, and a lot of pain in a lot of different areas.

My point is, I am ready to go back to the Maker's way.  You can join me if you like.
