I got off the western medical train over a decade ago. Here's what we do (and we are the healthiest we have ever been in life since making these changes. And before making these changes I had horrible health issues since childhood that have been endlessly treated by docs but never healed, until i finally took my health into my own hands):
We have no general doctor and haven't needed one in a very very long time
We get blood tests done direct from a local lab to monitor our health ourselves
DNA testing to find what our problems really were and fixed them once and for all. (I know this is controversial but the gov already has everyone's dna on file from pku at birth so I may as well benefit and in my case it has saved my life so i don't care).
Lifestyle is everything. Food will kill you or heal you. Never underestimate the power of food.
We monitor blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood oxygen at home and stay in range.
If we need a professional we go to either a functional medicine doctor or naturopath depending on the issue
We don't have insurance anymore and we have a health savings account instead and if we need something we have more than enough to cover it and get a discount as a bonus
As a woman I will never ever subject myself to yearly screening for breast cancer, if I suspect something there is a thermal alternative that won't give me breast cancer. Also, I gave birth to my last at home with a midwife, you wouldn't catch me in the maternity ward again after my first experience there. (Women, doctors have wrongly convinced you that you can't give birth without them, this is false, nature made us to give birth, it is our primary function, medical intervention is what's causing so many problems with pregnancy and birth, not nature.)
We are and have always been antivax and we have the strongest immune systems of everyone we know, and believe me, they took notice over the years and joined us eventually.
So this is exactly what I got certified in. There is no one size fits all, so my diet health-foods are useless to others. However, there are a few rules that everyone can benefit from.
*Stay away from GMO. If it's not organic, assume it's GMO. Especially corn and soy. In fact, if you are a man, don't consume soy.
*Buy Organic when it makes sense, just keep in mind organic doesn't mean it wasn't sprayed. So wash everything in water with baking soda and vinegar added to help clean your produce. Certain things I only buy organic, stuff that is porous or doesn't have a cover (like leafy greens, broccoli, etc.) The absolute best thing you can do though is grow your own food, even if you start small. You'd be surprised how much you can grow in a tower like greenstalk.
*Animal products from healthy animals only. Avoid the mega meat industry giants like the plague. If you have the money, get the quality meat from whole foods, otherwise, go find a local butcher. Organic and Grassfed if possible, but anything is better than than factory farmed animal products.
*Avoid processed food as much as possible. This is the hardest for most people. If it has an ingredients list, it's processed. You will really want to learn how to read an ingredient list and know what all those weird terms actually mean. Full of shit that will make you sick. The best thing to do is buy whole food only. Whole meats, whole fruits and veggies. Learn the laws around food labels, they don't always mean what you think they do. Legally you'd be surprised at the manipulation they can get away with.
*Sugar feeds cancer cells and raises blood sugar leading to diabetes and raises bad cholesterol leading to heart disease (3 biggest killers right there). Sugar=Carbs. Carbs from sugars, processed foods, grains, fruits and potatoes are all going to contribute. So choose your carbs wisely. Keep them as low as you can from the healthiest and most natural sources you can. This has to be the biggest thing effecting people's health and they don't want to hear it because old habits are hard to change.
*Artificial sweeteners, artificial flavors and colors and preservatives which are all found in most processed foods ARE KILLING US. Period. Avoid them.
*Save money buy buying healthy and cooking from scratch to make your food stretch.
*I'm happy to answer any specific questions. This shit is my obsession. I'm so picky I haven't eaten food outside of my house (restaurants etc.) in YEARS. I only trust myself now. If I need to i travel with food in my purse. But I don't need to do that much now that I've started intermittent fasting, which will really boost your immune system if you need it.
That is awesome ! We do consume our share of deer meat so we have that going for us.. I will read your reply again and and research the points made.. Thank you so much !👍🇺🇸
Getting one dna test for one issue will cost you a fortune. Go through a company and get it all, everything. I was one of the first customers for 23&me, back before obama shut them down, then they later reopened again. The privacy contract was quite clear back then, not sure how it is today though. I have my entire genome. I will never need to get a specific dna test for anything in the future because I already have it all. This is how I got out of the pku for my baby, I was able to prove we are not carriers by providing the results of my genetic test and so it wasn't pushed on me. I also found my children and husband are carriers of a specific mthfr mutation that makes them more susceptible to vaccine injury than most people. As well as many other personal revelations that helped me identify what was wrong with me since childhood that doctors had been treating me for 20 years with an invasive treatment because they were (treating the symptom) and never cured me. With my genetic results in my face I was floored when I realized what was actually wrong with me all this time that they should have caught had they done their fucking job and not tortured me for 20 years. And I immediately did what I needed to do to cure myself, right away.
Yes you can do this yourself. You have access to your genome, if you know what to look for you can find it. It does require a bit of work on your part to do the research. There are also other services you can get automated reports through, like promethease if you are comfortable uploading your gnome for analysis.

I'm happy to answer any questions.
What did you find as your top 3-4 foods that are a must in your particular diet ?

When you go in for a DNA test, is it a specific test you ask for or do you just ask for a DNA test? Also, what will it reveal exactly?
Getting one dna test for one issue will cost you a fortune. Go through a company and get it all, everything. I was one of the first customers for 23&me, back before obama shut them down, then they later reopened again. The privacy contract was quite clear back then, not sure how it is today though.

Genetic tests are backdoored to China with BGI
I know it's controversial. I did this a long time ago. I have no regrets. Nothing I can do about it.
What does the DNA results show exactly? It's it something you can easily navigate and research what potential ailments you may have?
Yes you can do this yourself. You have access to your genome, if you know what to look for you can find it. It does require a bit of work on your part to do the research. There are also other services you can get automated reports through, like promethease if you are comfortable uploading your gnome for analysis.
