My life changed two years ago when I had the opportunity to view Food Matters. Something clicked inside of me and green eating appeared so logical that I wondered why I wasn't already on this path. The first change I made was changing my primary care doctor to a holistic doctor, who happened to be my husband's doctor. He had switched a few years prior when his seasonal allergy induced asthma was cured through supplements (Stinging Nettle and Quercetin C) where conventional medication had failed. My second step was signing up with an Integrative Health Coach to learn more about eating green and reevaluating my diet.
It worked out to be perfect timing as I become pregnant a few months later. Going green was more important then ever as I was caring for another human being beyond myself. Although the fatigue of pregnancy made a lot of these changes more challenging (along with those pesky fast food pizza cravings) I was proud to make these changes to benefit my unborn child as well as myself.
Today we continue towards a greener lifestyle. What started off with food has spread to other areas of our lives. My son is now a happy and healthy toddler. I was either blessed with a healthy baby or am doing something right with raising him green. I'd like to believe it's a combination of both.
