Healthier after cancer
4 months ago my husband Pat was diagnosed with cancer. This was a real shock since we thought we already had a healthy lifestyle. Since then he has worked hard with a really strict ketogenic diet and an hour a day in a hyperbaric chamber. He is now essentially free of cancer. However the only real cure is the cause. After lots of research we’ve discovered he has sympathetic dominance – where the sympathetic nerve system is in constant fight/flight mode. In a nutshell, over the years this causes adrenal exhaustion and a host of other effects on the body. This is also what is happening to me and explains why I could never ease my irritable bowel. So over the next few months we are both committed to freeing ourselves of sympathetic dominance. Here’s what I will be doing: Sleep 8-9 hours Daily meditation Specific chiropractic adjustments Use a posture rehab device daily Controlling light input with red lenses Diet – avoid processed foods, refined sugars, wheat, yeast, dairy, eggs, alcohol Daily bone broths Exercise 5-6 times/weekly I have also never been under 20% body fat, so this would be awesome. Current measurements – weight 130pounds, 22.1% body fat, waist 31 inches, hips 38 inches, thighs 21.5 inches Looking forward to being a much healthier woman come March 1, happier and free of irritable bowel syndrome. AND I’m going to look amazing in that Lululemon gear!!!
AFTER:
Challenge successfully completed – but not without some hiccups along the way!
I started out awesome in the first few weeks. Then a very close family member was very ill for a few weeks and passed away early in the New Year. This was an extremely stressful time and it really rocked me, especially since he was only 47. During this time I continued to exercise diligently 5-6 times a week, but totally sabotaged my diet with lots of emotional eating.
This experience has got me thinking about what is most important in life. For me, it is simply too short to be caught up in meaningless goals like trying to get under 20% body fat. If I’m out and I want a dessert then I’ll have it. I don’t drink alcohol, coffee or tea. I usually only drink water all day. Most days I eat very clean. So if I feel like some dark chocolate I’m going to have it – AND NOT FEEL GUILTY!!!
I did manage to finish this challenge strong.
Weight went from 130 to 127 pounds
Body fat 22.1% to 20.7%
Waist 31 to 29 inches
Hips 38 to 37 inches
In general I am feeling better in myself too.

Thanks to Damion and Lifebook for organising this challenge, and also to everyone who participated. I hope you’ve all had a wonderful 3 months.
