Healthy Every Day with Dana

Sporting the dreaded annual robes of anxiety… don’t mind the bags under my eyes because scanxiety kept me up all night. I almost had a panic attack at the grocery store the other day after watching an episode of Netflix’s Firefly Lane because the main character’s cancer came back… that’s my fear, not my fate. That’s my fear, not my fate.

What people don’t know is the constant anxiety that has to be pushed aside every single day… with every new ache, pain, symptom - that could just be age, common cold, or hormones - cause an automatic thought of “it’s back.” It takes effort to say, “That’s my fear, not my fate” but if you see me cry just watching my kids play, know that it’s just me trying to soak in every good moment, every drop of happiness because after cancer, life is just so much more precious ❤️

But also, very real, very present, is that unrelenting fear… so I ask for all your prayers, good vibes, and positivity to be sent my way today. Bc maybe I’ll be able to breath a little steadier afterwards…

“Write worries in the sand and blessings in stone.”

I saw a sign with this quote today while at St. Mary’s by the Sea, a cancer retreat in Ocean Grove, New Jersey. It inspired me to write Cancer Awakening in the sand so that cancer would be washed away with the tide.

It was a beautiful, cleansing ritual that gave me peace to see Awakening untouched by the powerful wave.

The ocean has always been my oasis. My happy place. My safe space. The sounds of the waves crashing rhythmically over the sand as sea gulls squawk in the distance. The magnetic pull of the ocean’s energy always catches me off guard as a large waves sweeps across my feet with it’s cold, velvety touch, recharging and awakening my soul.

Great article about sleep, the liver, and metabolism connection!

If your body is too dependent on sugar for energy, it can wreak havoc with your metabolism and wake you up at night.

“In order to be wholly healthy, we had to consider every spiritual, emotional, mental, physical, and social part of our beings. We couldn’t just focus on one. I mean, if you look good in spandex but have no friends, are you truly healthy?” ~Megan Marshman~

The vast majority of Americans are metabolically sick, largely because a third of their diet is made up of toxic seed oils.

Dear FDA,

Thank you for allowing Scott Gottlieb to be the commissioner of FDA and then allowing him to profit 💰 from Pfizer the drug company.

Thank you for telling us the risk of coconut oil and recommending GMO canola oil instead. Synthetically processed oils over natural God given coconut oil. Whew! 😰 Close call! Almost ate something healthy, there!

Thank you for recommending Frosted Flakes over fruit! Of course, dead food in a box coated in sugar would be healthier than enzymes and fiber rich, nutrient dense, delicious fruit. What was I thinking!? 🤦🏼‍♀️

Thank you for the blessing of artificial sweeteners! We now know of their toxic effects on the brain and ability to cause cancer. Man, if we would have simply stuck to all natural God-given sweeteners, 🍯 the pharmaceutical companies would have gone out of business. Can’t have that!

Thank you for processed dairy loaded with hormones and antibiotics! It does a body good... even the 7 year olds with breasts and behavioral issues..... we thank you!🥛👍🏼

Thank you for Red Dye #40 ❤️and Yellow #5 💛 linked to cancer and proven to cause hyperactivity in kids... we mom's especially thank you. Big hugs on that one. How else would our kids eat their food if it wasn’t brightly colored?! 🍏🍒🍑🫐🌶🍌🥦

Thank you for all the synthetic preservatives, additives, BHT, palm oil, high fructose corn syrup, TBHQ, and so many others... so that our food can last on the shelf for up to 20 years. Awesome! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

It feels soooooo GOOD to have a government agency that is NOT influenced by special interest money, that simply looks out for the “greater good” of America and the health of the people. 😂

I just laugh when m@sk wearers say “I believe in science” - “Follow the science” 😆 If you read randomized controlled trials (RCT), which is the gold standard of scientific studies, then you wouldn’t be wearing that useless piece of cloth over your face.

The government has flip-flopped on its guidelines on wearing masks. What does the science actually say about it?

I don’t sell this stuff but I just had to share!! I had no idea you could get a yeast infection on your scalp 🥴 For years I thought it was sebum or dandruff but nothing worked! I also had swollen lymph nodes in my neck so of course I Google searched my symptoms 😆 and one of the things was yeast on the scalp! I was like What??!! That’s a thing?!?

Within ONE wash I noticed less hair loss, zero filmy junk when I scratched, and less scratching! There are more flakes but I think that’s the dead yeast or skin. I’m just brushing my hair more frequently to stimulate the scalp and get rid of the flakes. Oh and my hair is so soft and smells so good! Can’t recommend this product enough if you’re having these issues!
