As it happened, today was a relax day. I set up my dumb phone which was delivered yesterday and made sure to start fresh. The only app I have downloaded is Spotify so that I can listen to music at the gym without having to use my iPhone. As people call me, I will add them from my contacts list, but at the moment only my family members have been added. I took the time to text those who I communicate most with and informed them of my plan. Going rogue this year I guess. I think I’m going strictly decaf tomorrow… no more caffeine and soon no more coffee. Life won’t be quite as enjoyable as it is with that dirty water I tell ya, but every decision I make this year and hopefully all of those that follow, will have every intention directed at my health.

Eliminating coffee is important to me because many of our coffee beans are moldy which release mycotoxins. Mycotoxins can be culpable for an incredible amount of dysfunction in the body; they can cause kidney failure, liver cancer, and have greatly negative effects on the nervous system. Some symptoms you might experience from mycotoxin poisoning are digestive issues, nausea, headaches, anxiety, irritability, respiratory issues and even tumor growth. Understanding fully I could just transition to a mycotoxin-free coffee brand, but it’s about three times more expensive than regular coffee and I’d sleep better knowing that I am doing everything in my power to remove any variable that could potentially be negatively affecting my health. Not to mention, it might help my teeth regain brightness again!

I truly wish my brain had the capacity to just change everything all at once, but I need plans and lists and plans for those lists, so this is the best I can offer myself at the moment. I am in process of taking other measures to benefit my health as well, including substantially reducing my screen time, only drinking distilled water, working out daily and incorporating saunas into my routine. As this journey progresses I will speak on each topic individually as in depth as I deem appropriate; I do understand that most people want the spark notes to all of this. What’s so great about me anyway?

Goodnight to all of you incredible souls out there.
