A major motivation for eating clean and well for me is anger. I do not like feeling like an uninformed victim of the food industry. When I started reading and learning more and more, that is exactly how I felt. Today, however, I feel as though I am one of the smart people. I choose to think about what it is that I am putting into my mouth because I am aware of all of the things that can go wrong if you eat processed foods. With knowledge comes responsibility...and I believe that it is my responsibility to share what I know so that others can learn and choose better for themselves and their families.
Our foods are really not coming from farms…they are coming from chemical laboratories. Maybe this doesn’t upset you as much as it does me…but for this Motivational Monday message, I thought I would call attention to it. See below:

This topic is a hard one for me, because when my diet changed for the better, my health changed for the better. It is personal to me that I had been eating food that the food companies know makes us sick...and I blindly trusted our government to keep me safe. It didn't. Luckily, I am a fighter. Six months ago, I received yet another bad MRI showing progression of MS. Not a lot of progression, but any progression is more than I want to hear about. I decided to see a Doctor of Functional Medicine. I had thought at the time that I already had changed my diet. I did not think that he would have much more to offer me. Turns out, testing showed that I still had a long way to go. Late last week, I got results of another MRI. For the first time since this nightmare started for me, my disease showed no progression. I do not believe, even for a moment that it is coincidence that I started to heal when I started to see this doctor.
What you eat matters. Get angry…and decide that you and your family won’t be a victim of the food industry and their greed. God didn't intend for food to be made in a laboratory or "improved" by man.

Couldn't agree more and anger motivates me too. Very interested in learning more about what a Doctor of Functional Medicine does and what their training and education involves.
