It seems like only yesterday, that I couldn't figure out what was happening with my health.  Not that I know a lot more today, but I can honestly say I have some thoughts on where to look.  I've learned over the last year, that there is a lot of time spent guessing.  Last January (2011) there was a guess of low testosterone, wrong foods, misalignment of my vertebrae, too much smoking, too much coffee, too much sugar, and the list could go on.  Back then I joked around a lot that I didn't know what was wrong with me, but I have become an expert on what I don't have.  STD''s for example (don't get me wrong that is always great to hear), not suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, not an active TB carrier, no high blood pressure, vision is okay, no cavaties and this list goes on too.   I use to laugh a lot and think, "well it must be in my head, because according to the medical world, I'm fine".  Now a days my outlook on the whole process is different.  I know I didn't get here in 1 day and I know it will take me longer than 1 day to get back to health.  The good new is it is happening, that the journey has been started.  Albeit always a work in progress that is under constant tweaking.

I do want to say one thing, to any DR reading this.  The DR's that I know personally and professionally are great people.  They are very intelligent people who do amazing things.  For some reason that industry is not preoccupied with preventive medicine, but they are experts at sustaining life and helping you live.  I will and have always, ran to them at any time I can't find an answer to what ails me.  That hasn't changed and I will run to them again at the first inkling of something that I can't figure out.  I like to think, in the mean time, health is my responsibility.  I do not want to bore them with figuring out how to make me healthy.  That is my job and rightfully so.  I firmly believe we should all be experts about ourselves.   That being said, anytime and any information that I can acquire from the medical field I will always listen.  I am not stupid enough to think that information is only known by one person and I am constantly rethinking what I thought I knew.

Which brings me up to what I think I know now.   I've learned a lot about myself and look at life, health and love completely differently then I use to.   To me now, this is a process.  There is not one time where you get to a point and say, "there that's good, everything is perfect" .   It is a moving target that is impossible to hit all the time.   Maybe you might hit the target once and then it will surely be moving.  You can see those moments in your life when you look back and think, "I really liked that time" or "that time felt very good", but it isn't something you can say it is still happening right now.  The same is true about health.  You can look back and think, at that time I was healthy.  You can look back and think "I was in the best shape of my life".  Or you might say "my muscles were super big then", but the bottom line is you can't say that is how it is today or that is how it will be forever.  It is constantly changing and constantly being tweaked.  The same is true with love.  We all have our first love, for most of us that love or lover is with someone else and we are with somebody else or looking for someone else.  For the lucky ones who are with a love they've had for a long time.  It is constantly being tweaked and I think many people will agree, the most successful lovers learn how to change and stay together at the same time. 

This is how health should be looked at.  You can replace health with health of your body, health of your love, or health of your life.  The point is that it is a process.  It is a journey that will not have an end until you leave this life.  You'd be a fool not to reflect on how great a moment is and then do this again.  Most of us have multiple loves in our life and we start to realize that there are many people in our life that we love.  Some of them may be romantic, some family, some friends but looking at life as a process you realize you will love more people in the future and you love many people from your past.  If we switch to a nutritional conversation.  The outline is simple.  Provide to the body those things that it needs.  Take away from the body the things that are getting in the way of being healthy.  Obstacles.  Through this process your body wants to be health.  Your cells of your body know what to do, the best thing we can do is understand that and try to get out of the way as much as possible.  Love, Health or Life.
