Welcome Healthies!

Welcome to my new blog!  My goal here is to get healthy and to do so by focusing on healthy lifestyle options and natural solutions to many health issues.  Natural is always always best!  I'll try to address a wide array of health issues, whether you need to lose weight, gain weight, exercise, boost your energy, or find natural solutions and home remedies for issues such as psoriasis, eczema, menopause, arthritis, heart health, etc.  Maybe you want/need to adhere to a specific type of diet such as low carb, low sodium, gluten free, clean eating...  We can address those too!  This is a sort of "self help" type of approach to living a healthy lifestyle.  I'm no health expert by any means, but I don't think I need to be.  I think that a healthy lifestyle is something anyone can accomplish.  I'm learning and  I want to share what I learn.  I hope to learn from you guys as well.  
You've already taught me a lot over in our Facebook Group Healthie Minds & Bodies.  

A few years ago I turned my life around with a new healthy lifestyle! I started eating healthy and was able to lose weight, gain energy, and just have a better quality of life overall. I reached my goal of losing 40 pounds just before my 40th birthday! It took about a year to lose and I kept it off for another year+ after that. Full disclosure: I'm now 43 and have gained it all back + 10 lbs. (😒Thanks Menopause) Oh, and also.. I have had scalp psoriasis for about 5 years and in the past few months have been developing new forms of psoriasis on many areas of my body. I use natural remedies to treat that as well, mainly virgin coconut oil. (As you get to know me, you'll learn that coconut oil is possibly my favorite thing on the planet.) My healthy lifestyle not only kept my weight under control, but it kept my psoriasis in check as well. To be honest, all these healthy things can get pricey and that played a role in my not sticking with it. But my weight and psoriasis are both demanding that I get back to treating my body right! Maybe we can explore some new, less expensive options..
Maybe some of you are experiencing the same things I am and could benefit from this as well. Maybe some of you have already had success and can offer some wisdom. And even for those who don't have weight trouble, psoriasis, or any such issues, it's still great to improve your health, increase your energy, and add years to your life! Right?!
