I obviously look happy with my swollen cheek, haha

So I have been off the grid so to speak with blog, facebook live and my youtube. Last week I had all four of my wisdom teeth pulled. I had neglected my teeth from a dentist stand point for years. Now was time. I was not worried about being put to sleep I was more worried about taking the antibiotic and the pain meds. SIlly, I know, as some would welcome the idea of a zen pill that you have to take. I on the other hand was thinking about my gut and all I had done to get it to this place. In one day I was gonna drop a bomb on it.

So here is what I did to help my self recover. I did pre and post with juices, probiotic vinegar, bone broths, CBD oil and also capsule probiotics. I also continued to drink my chlorophyl and fulvic minerals. I wanted to make sure I was combating the antibiotics with good bacteria right behind it. I also chose bone broth because of its ability to nourish and heal the gut. I added coconut oil to it to provide me with more nourishment.

CBD oil is great for inflammation and will also ease pain. I did this for my gut but also to not take the steroids that were prescribed to combat the swelling in my face. Now I was told by others I didn't look as chipmunk as they did but i could tell the impact for sure. After speaking to my Dr., he let me know that my roots were twisted and that when he removed them they all broke apart and they had to get each piece out. OUCH.

No one wants surgery but sometimes It is necessary and you need to take meds you otherwise would not want to take. You have to provide your body with what it needs after. If you do not it can turn into constipation, yeast infections and a very weakened immune system.

Remember I am here if you need me,

Huge thank you to Dr. Jackson and the staff at Middle Tennessee Oral Surgery Center, you made it a positive adventure :)

I have been studying cold therapy for a while. I have listened to Tony Robbins talk about his morning routine of submerging in cold water and then into warm. He does this to train his body to respond to cold with a strengthened immune system. I have also heard of Ice Man Hof, and have had a friend train with him.

I have attempted to sit in our sauna and then get in an ice bath at home. I was a wimp. Then I heard of cryotherapy. I had athletic friends that use it for recovery with running and could not wait to try.

Benefits: Improved recovery time, decrease in inflammation, weight loss, boost in metabolism, adrenaline increase and much more. Along with the above, I wanted to use it for mind training. Allowing my mind to have more control over the "pain" of the cold. You are not in long enough for it to be detrimental to your body and this was my first session. I gave into the cold and It sucked.

A client of mine and I went to Music City Cryotherapy. When we walked in there was a camera crew, and I noticed a TV personality on the couch. This was the place to be haha. I chose to also have my first ever Periscope for this event. I am not good at filming myself but I am trying to come out of my shell. We had to wait a while for our session due to the filming of the TV show. They were awesome and offered us our session due to the wait. I went first. You get naked with only gloves and socks. Now I thought you had to wear underwear, which I do not, so I brought some random hanes I had. I also kept my sports bra on.

They started me up and it was COLDDDD. Now remember the mind training? Well , I think because I was with a friend, had unexpected people to wait on, I was fired up and allowed the cold to control me. I wanted to quit, which is NOT like me. If it were not for Periscope I might have jumped out. It felt like little pokes all over your skin. You could for sure feel your body trying to reverse the cold.

After I felt AMAZING. Once my body began to regulate, I had so much energy, I was just jumping around. I had minor anxiety for the last couple days, and although I was energized i was also relaxed inside, if that makes sense. My anxiety is gone and it is 4 hours later. My client is still feeling energized and I can not wait to go back (next week). What I will do next week is go in more relaxed, do some deep breathing and work on the mind control.

I highly recommend this for anyone. Go in with the idea that it will give you what you need. Also enjoy the adrenaline rush!
