Helath and Wellness Audit

My health and wellness goals are pretty simple for myself and my family...be the best us we can be.  As far as "health" goes we try our best to stay active, we try to eat "healthy" (but we still splurge on goodies on special occasions), and we try our best to stay "on top of" our health.  I wouldn't say we are excatly where we would like to be as far as our health and wellness goes, but we aren't that far off overall.  We are certainly on the right track! 

Recently our goals have been to minimize the amounts of medications we are taking.  We are trying to achieve this by seeing a chiropractor, trying natural alternatives to the medications, and I have started to see an acupuncturist.  We have stopped buying sleeping pills altogether.  My husband has also stopped using as many depression/anxiety meds with the help of the Alpha Stim machine.

Our goals are to eat more of these...

But with our busy lives and schedules we end up eating a few too many of these...

Therefore we use these to fill in the nutritional "gaps".

I do not feel that people should use vitamins/minerals exclusively to stay healthy, but I do think they serve an important role. 


Seeing a chiropractor has made a huge difference in my families overall health.  We depend on less medications already and we have a lot fewer negative symptoms overall.

We have not altogether started or stopped using a product that has caused contention in our household.  My family is very uneasy on the acupuncture idea, but I think they will warm up to it eventually.  Starting seeing a chiropractor caused some upset times in our family, but everyone is so grateful for our Doctor now! 

Our health and wellness may not be perfect, but I feel like we are on the right track.  We are all overall healthy, we are happy, and we are a strong family!  Just today our family was hit with a huge emergency.  Most families would start to fall apart, but I know we will pull through.  It will be a rough few weeks, but we will survive!
