What do you call the daughter of a hamburger? Patty.
I AM NOT A DOCTOR. But 7 years ago I was constantly ANXOUS & DEPRESSED & prescribed anxiety meds. Everyday I snoozed my alarm, ate lucky charms for breakfast, worked a desk job, ate out junk for lunch & watched TV at night. I got VERY LITTLE movement or sunlight. I was 33 years old. This is unpopular but I wasn’t depressed or anxious because I was born that way. It was 100% my lifestyle CHOICES. No doctor asked me what I ate, how much I moved or what my morning routine looked like. They said TAKE THIS PILL. I did & felt worse. Until one day at 34 I decided NO MORE. In tears one night I wrote rules for myself. A simple framework that I could do daily. That anyone could do daily! Within a few months I was off meds. At almost 40 I’m in the best shape of my life physically, mentally & spiritually. I truly believe we could bankrupt big Pharma if people: •Ate real food. •Prioritized walking outside daily. •Sought PURPOSE over just dollars. I AM NOT A DOCTOR & not telling you to get off meds. Some people 100% need them & I’m grateful we live a time where they exist. But YOU SHOULD 100% try LIFESTYLE CHANGES FIRST before you ever take a pill.
