Changes

I meant to write several times in the past few weeks, but it has been crazy. Things have changed in my life, health, and diet. This will be a short entry since I am just in and out of the apartment today.

I got engaged August 27th and have been starting to plan my wedding. Luckily I have until July 2012 to get everything done.

Thursday morning I saw my PCP. I found out that my adrenal glands are not working correctly. The adrenals control your depression, anxiety, and stomach fat. They are not working correctly because I suffered from anxiety and depression for so long that they are now overworked. My Cortisol level is at a 3 and it is supposed to be at a 9. I am now on Adrenotone during the day and Travacor at night. Adrenotone is supposed to give you an energy boost and help the Cortisol levels. Travacor helps you sleep and helps your anxiety/depression. I have been on Travacor before and it has made me sick in the past, so I am monitoring it. After 2 weeks of Travacor, I will add in Tyrosine in the morning. It is a spray that helps during the day. I'll see how it goes. So far the Adrenotone is giving me a boost, but I have felt any other difference.

Today I went to see my nutritionist. I was told that I can start a rotation diet. As long as I do not eat dairy or yeast, I can rotate the other sensitivities into my diet. I can eat my low sensitivities every 3 days. For example: I can eat broccoli today but then cannot eat it again until Tuesday, but I can eat beef tomorrow. This is a big thing. I have to monitor how I feel, but it could be a good thing for me.

Time to leave. I will hopefully post up reviews tomorrow of the 3 restaurants that I went to recently.

Hope everyone is enjoying the weather today. It is beautiful out!
