I'm not some health guru ...
I only speak about what works for me and why and how I came to those conclusions after 30+ years of no insurance, shitty doctors, having to become my own advocate and doing tons and tons of research.
I cannot speak for anyone else as far as what works for them and me talking about my health isn't me giving medical advice.
Do you.
However ...

There are three primary things that I believe absolutely are crucial for overall health no matter who you are:
1. Understanding sleep (quality, types, duration)
2. Mental, spiritual, and emotional balance and regulation (peace of mind/removing stressors)
3. Exercise (of any kind)
These are important and focusing on them and putting them into practice is not easy for everyone.
Most people haven't the time, the focus, or the inclination to bother ... but they are the FOUNDATIONS of health.
For me, prioritizing number 2 --
𝙈𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙡, 𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙗𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙜𝙪𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 (𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙙/𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙤𝙧𝙨)
-- allowed me to be able to do 1 and 3 without difficulty. It changed my entire outlook and understanding of my life and absolutely is a crucial component to how I manage daily functionality with #chronicpain and 2 autoimmune diseases.
Having the mind and body in harmony makes ALL the difference in quality of life.
Is it easy? Hell no.
Is it truth? Absolutely.
