About Me

My name is Crystal and I decided to do a blog to talk about my struggle with Lyme Disease, what helped and didn't help, and to share how important it is what we put into our bodies. I just recently updated new information. Through my 3+ year illness I learned so many things that I would love to share with you! I found a good fit for me was an 80% raw diet, gluten free, and detox, detox along with treatments. I want to see you feeling good and living your true potential so you can live your dreams! Disclaimer: I am not a medical doctor. The information on this blog is based on research, conversations with others in the health industry,and my own personal experiences. If your seeking a formal medical diagnosis, or contemplating any major dietary change, I suggest you speak with a health care provider.

Tabbouli is such a great salad and is so good for you. Instead of bulgar wheat I use couscous or quinoa. add parsley, lemon, onion, tomato, olive oil, pepper, sea salt. Parsley is so good for your digestive system along with the lemon. I love it so much I could eat it every day!
Don't forget to get enough greens in your diet. Especially during the winter months even when you don't feel like it.:) Your body will thank you for it. If you are watching your sugar intake for a salad dressing use apple cider vinegar and olive oil or hemp seed oil and lemon. Then mix in spices like cumin, ginger, turmeric, cayenne, garlic, and curry. It has so much flavor and it's healthy!
This juicing recipe is good for detoxing. all you need is carrots, celery, lemon, parsley, ginger, and serrano pepper. You can also put apples in the mix too. Do this several times a week or if you have a chronic illness do every day. My body feels a lot better when I'm juicing.:)
