Healthy Jess

I was seeing a nutritionist, hoping to become vegetarian, and eventually vegan. I was disappointed when he told me that, because I am insulin-resistant, and hypothyroid, cutting out meat as my protein source is not an option. I don't like being told that I can't do something, especially when it's something I really want to do, so I lasted about a year with him.

I am now a vegan! I have a new nutritionist, who specializes in plant-based diets. I hope to eventually get off of as many medications as possible. I have already decided that I am not going to take birth control any more. The negative effects it has on my body are just not worth the positive ones (and I haven't noticed much of a positive change, anyway).
