#1 I’m fifty-two years old, and I’m feeling puffy and washed out. I have perimenopause, which is the beginning of the menopause. I have constant little infections and keep coming down with colds and sore throats.

#2 I am not a wreck, but my eating habits are not normal. I love tea, but I cut back on coffee because it gives me headaches and makes me feel edgy. I like exercising, but it’s a journey without any compass.

#3 I was hooked on the blog of American health blogger Tosca Reno, who wrote about her journey toward better health in a convincing manner. She had lost her husband to lung cancer, and I was ashamed to read about his death on her blog, but I was still hooked.

#4 I had unknowingly embarked on an anti-inflammatory lifestyle, which had the effect of reversing my aging process. I had transformed my body and my life was transformed. I felt stronger and happier than I had in 20 years.
