Celiac Disease vs. Gluten Allergy: Understanding the Differences
When people hear “gluten,” they often think of trendy diets or food restrictions. But for many, gluten-related issues are far from a fad—they’re life-altering medical conditions.

In this post, I’ll explore the differences between the two and share personal stories to shed light…
Binge Eating
**Trigger Warning** It’s been mentioned many times that I have a binge eating disorder, and I’ve had it for close to 15 years now. I’ve gotten help for it in the past, and overall, I manage well. But sometimes, it feels like a bit of a struggle. This weekend, I’ve been experiencing a bit of…
Avoiding Burnout
I have been close to having another Burnout. And for some reason it is always at the same(ish) times of the year. September/October and goes a bit into November. Now. I was able to control this one. And I lasted a lot longer then I would have thought. I was so tired. But I…

Back in Action
I got a new computer. I will go see if my mac can be fixed. However, it seems to be a problem with the keyboard getting wet. And I believe that happened when I did a post at the beach. But I have a good alternative and it will at least get me through this…
Shaky Mental Health
***WARNING: SENSITIVE CONTENT/IMAGES. VIEW WITH CAUTION. 11/06/2019-Ongoing These past two or so weeks have been tough. And honestly, I have no idea why.

Number 8.
Today (June 11th, 2019) I went for my Spine Injection Procedure #8. And of course. Like almost every other procedure I have had, my period decided to pop up. (Everyone think’s it’s related to the stress). So basically I went in, in the afternoon. There was a lot of people waiting in the room so…

Has anyone every gotten random new pain locations, and you have absolutely no idea what is causing it? Or even what it is from? So, I am having severe pain lately in many parts of my body and I have no idea what is causing it. The first pain is in my right shoulder. It…
Flaring during Exams
These past few days I have been completing mid-terms and finals for two different classes (with a third class about to start). However, my body has also been flaring. There has been some unbearable body pain (that has been getting better over the past few days). A few days ago it hurt just to sit…
Athlete’s Schedule with Health Problems
So this has been my newest challenge and let me tell you, unlike some other years this year has become a scheduling nightmare. Here is why. My main training location (Les 4Glaces in Brossard, Quebec) has been shut down. This creates my first problem. While I am trying to get better, follow what all my…
