I’m happy to let you know that we have built an A M A Z I N G program and community of 1,200 WOMEN with phenomenal success. Through this we help women make their health non-negotiable after they have neglected their bodies while caring for the people that they love.In this episode I would like to identify two things:What does it mean that your health is non negotiable?And I'd like to share my story with you about why I made my health non-negotiable 20 years ago.What does it mean that your health is non negotiable?A lot of people at first think that it means I will not negotiate to sacrifice my health, right? But it really means that your body cannot negotiate with you. And very often we try to negotiate with our bodies when we justify certain behaviours. So often people will justify having that cookie or that plate of pasta after they have worked out in the morning. And very often the mentality is calories in versus calories out.Your body is designed to be able to absorb certain vitamins, minerals, nutrients, macronutrients, micronutrients. You can even be affected by the toxins that are all around you (from the air we breathe, the water we drink, the types of food we put in our body and the products we put on our skin, pesticides on foods and a lot more). If your body doesn't recognize those food and chemicals, it will go on attack for you. It is going to protect you from those foreign invaders.You body is always on high defense to protect you from anything foreign. Your Immune System will have to focus on what it does not recognize instead of protecting you from diseases. The result of these may cause:InflammationAutoimmune diseasesA lot of stressLack of StressPoor Endocrine SystemAnd moreTip to Consider when putting anything in or on your body:✅ Does my body recognize tis fuel✅ Is this going to help or harm my body?✅ Whenever you are going to a restaurant✅ When you're about to put food into your body✅ when you're about to put chemicals on your skinYour body cannot negotiate with you as much as you would like to negotiate with it and justify certain behaviours.I'd like to share my story with you about why I made my health non-negotiable 20 years ago.20 years ago I decided to make my health non-negotiable after a very important visit with my very best friend. I visited my grandmother in the hospital 20 years ago and she had had a heart attack and a stroke. She was paralyzed from the left side down and so I made it my business to go and visit her at least once a month.One day, I went to visit her and this man in the next bed, started moaning and wailing like crazy. I looked over at my grandmother and I asked, “what's the matter with him? Why is he acting like that?” When I looked deep into her eyes I saw them swell up with tears. She was so emotional. There was so much emotion coming out of her eyes at that time. So much fear, so much frustration, so much loneliness and sadness. And she was so upset when she said, “Sherry, he just never stops. He is like this all day long.”And it was in this moment that I realized what kind of a jail cell she was living in. Her body was her jail cell. She could not get up and go to the washroom when she wanted. She could not get up and get things when she wanted. She was living in this room 24/7. She lived there for six years. I realized that her body was holding her captive in this room until the day she died.That's when I realized that my grandfather who suffered from Parkinson's disease, slow
