I am not exactly sure why my initial visit to the naturopathic physician today left me so cranky and irritable. Perhaps I was hoping that she held a magic wand but, instead, she offered up an extremely restrictive diet and pricey supplements.
But don't get me wrong, I am thankful that I have options to get me back to optimal health and I am also thankful that I have the resources available to me to exercise these pricey options.
So why no humour today? Because let's face it... there is nothing funny about a dairy-free, gluten-free, sugar-free, soy-free, corn-free and just about everything else-free diet. So... maybe I'll laugh after three weeks of this horrific diet only if I drop another pant size and eliminate my 80 year old man stomach... otherwise the joke is on me.
As always, I am thankful to live with the kindest and most understanding soul in the world.
