The turning point

Growing up, I was blessed with a health-conscious mom. Not that I appreciated it as a child, I wanted a mom that bought coke, candy and other "yummy" stuff. Instead, there was plenty of fruit, veggies and balanced meals. Over time, I slowly turned into my mom with my food purchases. Yet, I feel the real turning point was when I got pregnant and aggressively took charge my health. The sharp attention on producing a healthy baby and mom expanded into the whole family making better health choices.

My first move was to birth with a midwife at home. She taught me what foods to eat, exercises to do and supplements to improve the birthing conditions. A gestational diabetes scare kicked my husband and I into high gear of keeping our relatively good health. Once our son was born, I continued to push and learn how we can improve our health in our own home.
