13 Ways to Treat Hypothyroidism Naturally

We live in an age where we have come to believe that science has all the answers. We rely on doctors that are paid by the insurance comapnies and drug comapnies to look out for our health. They have lied to us and told us that medication is the newest and best way to treat our ailments. The truth is that there is a better way. That doesn't mean that I am saying not to take medication because there is definately a place for it. But I am saying you should exhaust natural means before you decided to take a medication that has so many side effects that you need five medications to take care of the side effects of one. Don't always buy into the seemingly quick fix and make sure that you start at the beginning, never under estimate the ability of a good diet to change many of the ailments you may have. Check out this article if you struggle with hypothyroidism.

How working out can affect how we think

We all know that working out can help us lose weight and tone up, but it can also change our thoughts. Exercise and fitness release chemicals in our brains that help us feel better and even change the way that we view ourselves. We start to look at the world as a challenge rather than something to be endured. We start to think in terms of greatness rather than just making it through another day. This is the real reason that I compete. I want to continue to break through and forge the best version of myself that I can. Fitness has brought me to that place where I not only feel great about the way that I look, but also push me to be better than who I was a day ago. Check out this article and see the other changes that working out can make in your life.

10 Commonsense Tips for Increased Self-Esteem

I have always believed that self-esteem starts with how you feel about yourself. We often allow other people and circumstances to dictate how we feel about ourselves and this is the trap that we often fall into. This is why so many people are depressed and anxious. They believe their work, their friends, their children, or their spouse are the ones that give them worth. This is all a lie because other people will eventually fail us. We have worth because we are here, because we are alive and because we are all special and unique. We fill a certain void in the universe and without us certain goals could never be achieved. We must realize we were gifted our worth at birth, not in anyone elses eyes. We are worth it because we are alive. This is why health and wellness are so sacred to me. It is that life that creates our value, so focus on that and find the beauty that you hold and prepare for a truly abundant life.

9 FOODS MOST LIKELY TO CAUSE CANCER

When I was in my mid 20's I had to get my first colonoscopy. They found some pre-cancerous polyps in my colon. They were removed and I was put on the annual colonoscopy plan. If I would have waited until I was in my 50's I would have been eaten up with colon cancer. This was a result of the poor dietary choices I was making the first 20 years of my life. After this milestone in my life I still continued to eat like normal americans, but I was working out more and competing as a professional mma fighter. But I had begun dabbling with a plant based lifestyle. After two more colonoscopies that came back clean I finally went fully plant based when I turned 29. I am not 35 and have never been healthier and more competitve. My mma career is over but I am doing endurance runs and Obstacle Course Racing. I am planning on being competitive next year and will go out and kill it. It is amazing to live with no restrictions and no fear of health issues. We don't have to fall into the same cycle of death that so many people around us find themselves in. It can always be reversed and it all comes down to what you are putting in your mouth.

WHY YOUR MOTIVATION IS FAILING YOU

We all need motivation to eep going with our fitness goals. But every year we see the numbers increase in Jan and then drop off in Feb. This goes to show you that motivation is not enough. Just wanting to lose some extra pounds is not enough to make a real lifestyle change. We must find something more meaningful to change our lives. Whether it is not wanting to end up like our parents or wanting to live as long as possible for our kids. We have to have some underlying reason to stay motivated. Then comes the real magic. You have to take constant repeated action towards those goals. It is one thing to say it, it is quite another to actually do it. The first 20 years of my life I spent believing that I was going to eventually die anyway, so I better live it up while I can. This meant I could eat whatever I wanted and do whatever I wanted. Then I started to really get sick like my parents in my early 20's. I came to a decision and decided to live as long and as healthy as I can. So check out this article and start to find your motivation and more.

What A Day Of Plant-Based Eating Looks Like

I have been vegan over 6 years now and almost every week I get the question, what do you eat? People cannot even imagine a life without meat and cheese and they think there is something wrong with people who don't choose to live their lives that way. Now I have never been a activist vegan, even though I love animals and believe in the humanity of all creatures, I became vegan because it is the healthiest that I can be. You will never see me condeming people for eating meat or wearing leather. I feel like people need to make their own decisions and I am not the person to tell them they are horrible for what they are doing. I believe that if I live my life in such a way that I am a motivation and inspiration to others, they will want to investigate why I do what I do and that will attract them rather than turn them away. Of course, being a professional athlete and elite OCR/ endurance racer has helped a lot too. If you are one of those people that wonder what I eat on a daily basis chec out this article. I assure you that the vegan choices today are much better than they were 15 years ago when I was first introduced to the lifestyle.
