Autoimmune diseases are a beast to control, but they can be controlled through food, exercise, and rest. Stress is unavoidable, but it’s how we handle the stress that really helps us in preventing a flare. Bonus: Choose Red Light Therapy to help calm your nervous system and reduce inflammation inside the body. Comment RED for my favorite device I use daily and love! Plus my link gives a huge discount! I have fibromyalgia, but I can keep myself symptom-free most of the time when I prioritize my nutrition. My dad passed away last weekend and the stress of all of that has been overwhelming. I had 2 days where my body was trying to have an autoimmune flare and I have kept it away! The key, that I have learned, is all in omega-3s found in chia seeds, minerals found in green leafy vegetables, and antioxidants in green tea and berries. When I say I went from being highly symptomatic to having zero symptoms on a daily basis, I truly mean it! This works for me and I know it has worked for so many people. Comment CHIA for my chia pudding recipe. Boost your immune system with THE DAILY 3 ☀️ Omega-3 sources like walnuts, chia seeds, and flaxseeds, cruciferous veggies (vitamins and minerals), and berries (antioxidants). I drink my daily 3 in a smoothie because it’s easy to do! Comment BLEND for the recipe! Want to see all of my non-toxic swaps? Comment AMAZON for the list.

Hardest week of MY LIFE! My daddy passed away yesterday ❤️ The day after my 40th birthday. He was my shining star, the most amazing daddy a girl could ask for. As we brought him home on hospice 1 week ago I went right into full-time caregiver mode with around-the-clock care. It was so hard, exhausting, even nauseating for me, BUT WHAT A GIFT, and a treasure, and I would do it again 10 times over. My church family stepped up and helped bring meals, give gift cards, offer prayer and support, and wow did they spoil me for my 40th birthday! I am still SPEECHLESS by their generosity 💕 Thank you @kelseyspradlin for being my rock, my 5 AM prayer partner and pulling all of this together. We have been friends since we were 11 and I treasure you so much. To my Homemaker On A Budget community, thank you for sticking with me, praying over me in your messages, and supporting me from afar. Our family has felt all the prayers. I look forward to inching my way back into content creating, but first I will be finalizing my dad’s funeral arrangements. I love you all! God is good! He is ALWAYS GOOD! I have peace, I have hope for eternal life, and I know I will see my dad again. Jesus is our hope, He is our Savior. He paid the ultimate sacrifice for our sins, He is alive and seated at the right hand of the Father. Put your faith and trust in Jesus, and you will be saved. Salvation is simple: A) admit to God that you are a sinner, B) believe that Jesus is God’s son, C) confess your faith in Jesus as Savior and Lord. Find a church that will help you and guide you throughout your Christian life, and read the Bible daily to gain insight. See you all again soon ❤️

Comment REBOUND if you’re curious about rebounding and want to know which one I use! Super affordable! I first heard about rebounding from Barbara O’Neill on YouTube—and wow, the benefits sounded almost too good to be true. But let me tell you, they’re real. Rebounding didn’t cure my cancer, but it’s been a game-changer for my healing and health! I started last fall when I was dealing with swollen lymph nodes (I didn’t know it yet, but I had Hodgkin’s lymphoma). Now that I’m cancer-free, rebounding is part of my daily routine to stay healthy and energized. Start small—just 1 minute a day! I began without even letting my heels leave the mat. It’s gentle but powerful. Now I bounce for 5 minutes every morning (sometimes evenings too!). I listen to music or a devotional and the time flies. This little trampoline helps oxygenate your body, activates your cells, and supports lymphatic drainage—aka your body’s natural detox system. Your body was made to move—and this is such a joyful way to do it. Curious how to start or which rebounder I love? Drop a “REBOUND” in the comments and I’ll send you the details! #cancersurvivor #rebounding #lymphatichealth #naturalhealing #nontoxicliving #holistichealth #movementismedicine #healthylifestyle #dailyhabits #barbaraoneill

I gained 25 pounds on a whole food plant-based diet. Why? Because the emphasis is on consuming high amounts of fiber, with protein taking a backseat. I ate WFPB for 7 years and still got cancer. Comment GUIDE if you’re ready to take your kitchen management skills to the next level, and learn how I manage my kitchen to feed my family of 6: 3 meals per day, keep a stocked pantry, and have meals prepared in the freezer. The problem with the WFPB diet is that when we do not prioritize protein, we are hungry! When I focus on eating around 30 grams of protein per meal, I stay full and that eliminates snacking. Yes you can eat 30 grams of plant protein, but I find some animal protein helps too. My diet now after cancer is simple: •Implement fasting •Eat lots of plants (fruits and vegetables) •Prioritize protein (tofu, meat, beans, nuts/seeds) •Stay hydrated •Enjoy carbs in smaller quantities #healthylifestyle #cancersurvivor #eatclean

Comment BROWS for the link to this fantastic eyebrow trimmer! It's budget-friendly, long-lasting, and delivers great results! Just glide it over your eyebrows a few times for a smooth trim and a glowing appearance. I have learned over the years that I have no desire to spend money at the salon. I would much rather spend my money on food, clothes and vacations. I learned how to cut my own hair, and take care of all grooming needs at home. I love it! ❤️ #diytutorial #selfcare #budgetmom
