I was broken at the time and it was a cast for me, but I wanted to heal.

Just like you don't want that cast on your leg your whole life.

I knew something was off because I hadn't always felt this way, but I also didn't know how to heal myself because I grew up,

eating Frosted Flakes for breakfast and took probably a bologna sandwich on white bread to school for lunch.

And who knows when I ever had a fruit or veggie because my mom was just buying the stuff off the store shelves thinking, well, it was healthy.

So I grew up eating the American Standard Diet.

And that is part of the problem, though, so I'll tell you.

So...

At this point, I went on the antidepressants, but I hated being on them because I felt like my emotions were seatbelted, meaning I didn't feel that depression to take my life, but I couldn't ever feel joy or happiness in it as well.

And so two years later, after going to doctor after doctor, I finally found a doctor who helped me.

And she said to me, depression is your body screaming for help.

something is off in your body.

So we've got to do some blood work.

We've got to do some urine tests.

We've got to do some saliva tests, all these different types of tests to figure out what the root cause was of my depression.

And so it was little things to big things that were off.

I mean, I was low in vitamin D, like basic things, right?

Low in vitamin D. I wasn't absorbing my B vitamins like I should.

I had some liver issues, cortisol issues.

I had food intolerances.
