I’m feeling better than I have in years! Phillip and I realized what a difference it made to not only have an environment without mold, but also a clean environment – once we started cleaning our floors and surfaces of our new apartment regularly, we both really started feeling better. After a few weeks of regular cleaning I passed the VCS test for the first time and it has just been uphill from there.
My hormonal cycle was always the biggest health challenge for me and I’m thrilled to say that I’ve been able to get off birth control and have had multiple, regular cycles without mood swings, suicidal ideation, or any of the other very scary symptoms that I had experienced for years. I truly cannot express how happy and relieved I am to be feeling so much better!
I still have some symptoms that return if I have an exposure to less than ideal environments so I definitely don’t feel invincible, but I do feel more resilient overall. I was able to start a new job (in addition to working at Carnivore Bar), which is something I definitely wouldn’t have been able to do a year ago, and I’m loving it! I’m working in the leasing office of our apartment complex and it feels great to be able to help others find a place to live that I know is built well.
I’m beyond grateful for Judy bringing light to CIRS, I wouldn’t be where I am now if it wasn’t for her opening the conversation about CIRS in the carnivore community. One’s living environment definitely plays a larger role in their health than I ever thought, and I have so much more respect and value for that part of my life now. CIRS has helped shift my values and priorities a bit, similar to when I first went carnivore and realized I needed to eat meat to feel my best, and I think I will be much more fulfilled in my life because of it and because I’ll know what I need to do in order to feel my best.
Health is wealth and I’m so appreciative of the root cause approach that Judy, you, and the rest of her team takes. Thank you!!
