At 30 years young, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
Finding the Reset is symbolic not only for hitting the reset button on my health, but also for finding myself along the way.
Finding the Reset = Finding Therese
After processing the emotions that came along with my diagnosis; grief, shock, anger, fear, and despair- I made a choice. I decided that even though my life felt like it was over in the moment that I first heard those dreaded words, that it was a new beginning. I made a promise to myself and to my family that I would do everything in my power to overcome the obstacle I had been handed.
I realized…that choice is powerful thing.
I chose..
To live each day with gratitude.
I chose..
To have a positive attitude. I, and only I, control my attitude.
I chose..
To have determination to do whatever I had to in order to take control of my health
I truly believe I am meant to share my experience and journey with others, which is why I’ve launched this blog.
I was fortunate to discover functional medicine in the very beginning and I quickly adopted a new (paleo) diet. This diet in turn became my lifestyle and haven’t looked back! I’ve come leaps and bounds in the last seven years and I want to share that with the world. The food we eat, environment we create for ourselves, and our mindset are all powerful tools in healing your body. I feel better than I’ve felt in years; I have more energy, and I’ve healed my brain & my symptoms.
For whatever reason you’ve found yourself here today, I invite you to join me while I share my journey with MS, favorite wellness tips, and recipes; amidst the chaos of life & motherhood.
