Juicing/Healthy eating : How to & why it saved my life.

Just recently discovered the joy of juicing and healthy living thanks to my bearded, beautiful hunk of a soul mate Rob.
Why i never did it in the past blows my mind.
While juicing, you get all the nutrients you need plus some!
Its an easy way to get all the goodies from vegetables or fruit without having to actually chew them (if eating veggies is difficult for some, then this is for you)!

Some of you know i was diagnosed with a heart "problem" in 2010. Nuero-cardiogenic syncope syndrome. Whatever the hell that is. They prescribed me Zoloft. Why they prescribed me an anti-depressant will always be a question.
Two years later, i was diagnosed with Narcolepsy.
Narcolepsy is when you have the sudden urge to just fall asleep randomly. I fell asleep driving and during class and knew something was up.
They put me on Modafinil. A drug that they don't even know what part of the body it affects. Thats fun.

Doing research on where Zoloft takes your body after a few years of being on it is super scary. I encourage everyone to do their research! We don't really need all the meds that Drs are pumping into us!

Luckily i have a boyfriend who is studying health and saw all the drugs i was on, and sincerely wanted to get me off them. And so he did. With the help of a healthy diet, exercise and JUICING!

After about a month or two, i had completely stopped taking the Zoloft and was on my way to cutting out the Narcolepsy meds. Scary, but i did it.

Changing my lifestyle is 100% what helped me through that transition. After we would juice, i would feel amazing. I had energy, i wasn't always tired and i stopped feeling the urge to take a nap.
I still to this day, maintain a healthy diet of eating most organic produce, and drinking lots and lots of water. And coffee. Hitting the gym multiple times a week and being OFF the drugs, makes me feel like a new woman.

If i can do it, so can you. Sometimes all it takes is someone you love telling you that you need to change or your health will be at risk. And thats all it took for me. He is constantly by my side, cheering me on and keeping me in check and i couldn't be more thankful for that guy!
