HELLLOOOOOO!!!....

...so I'm back! I didn't realize so many people read my comments, rants, jokes, etc. and definitely wouldn't want to let any of you down! I find myself running around like a crazy person between work, kids, hubby and all the extra's I do so sometimes I feel like blogging should be last on the list. Little did I know, it's kinda like my very own therapy. Damn it...Oprah was right after all these years with her touchy-feely weirdo talk. Apparently she calls it "Journaling", I call it blogging.

You'd be totally suprised to hear that I went to see Naturopathic Doctor. I know, I hear the gasps...can you imagine what my granola friend had to say when she heard that?!? LOL! I did, yup, took the plunge on the dark side...or whole-grain side so to speak ;)

I met Dr. Connelly at a work seminar and was extremely impressed with his outlook on Natural Medicine. He believes in traditional medicine - YAY! and doesn't believe that the only way to live is via natural medicines, herbs, food and creams - Another YAY! He is around my age and is super current on the science behind natural medicine. Everything he says is based on actual facts not just hold this branch, roll 5 times in a hay field, eat these 15 supplements, cut out all food you like to eat, and drink a well of water to cure your whatever. He believes that if you have HEart Disease, you need meds. If you are at risk for Heart Disease, you need to change things in order to help prevent before the meds. Makes sense, doesn't it?

The appointment was 2 hrs long and asked every question known to mankind...even what my poop looks like. Oh dear, I rushed through those...turned red (which never happens)...then asked him what his poop looked like! hahaha, couldn't help it...what on earth is it supposed to look like? You tell me and i'll tell you if I fit that list lol.

I also posted a conversation we had on my facebook this morning that went like so:

Naturopath: "So when you gain weight, do you gain it on your hips, thighs, butt and breast area?"
Lise: "hahaha, look up Dr! Am I not a walking, breathing and talking definition of what you just said lol?"
Naturopath (now laughing): "well sometimes people still have weight gain in other areas first."
Lise: "Ohhh that's right, I forgot...I have a real problem with my fat feet ;)"
Lise and Naturopath: LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY!

We laughed a lot during this appointment but it was very informative. I might be diggin' this new outlook on health. Now, would I go running to every Naturopath - NOPE, absolutely not. I think many are quacks, just like in any profession. It's about finding someone that you click with - I think we clicked :)

I'll keep you posted.
