How Greens Helped Me Ditch My Walker In 6 Weeks
Pain is a great motivator. I don't think I would have adopted a green drink habit without it. Not a fake green powder drink habit, but a "can't have anything but the fresh stuff EVERY SINGLE MORNING or I can't walk" kind of habit.
In May of 2023 I stretched weird. I wish I had a better story, but it was a dumb stretch that sent my back into spasms. By July, I was barely able to walk around my house. I couldn't lie on a table to get acupuncture or chiropractic care. While I was waiting for my MRI my condition got much worse.
August 31, 2023 was the day I got my walker. It originally belonged to my Mor-Mor (Swedish for mother’s mother). I was so grateful to have wheels to help me get around. Hence the huge smile on my face, despite still being in incredible pain.
I got cortisone shots in September and October of 2023 with no improvement. I used an inversion table everyday, and that did help a lot, but the nerve pain shooting down my leg persisted. I spent too many days looking out the window wishing I could just take a walk.
THEN, in early December 2023 I decided to take a deep-dive into anti-inflammatory foods, and started drinking blended greens with dandelion🥬 for breakfast EVERY SINGLE DAY.
I didn't notice an improvement in pain right away, but my mobility improved tremendously. Did it heal everything? No, but it enabled me to get to the chiropractor, do the physical therapy, get the acupuncture. The decrease in inflammation was HUGE.
Jan 18, 2024 was the day I stopped using my walker
- 8 months after my injury onset (herniated discs)
- 4 months after epidural cortisone injections
- 6 WEEKS after starting a blended greens diet
- 💪That’s the power of blended bitter greens
The key was having this daily blended green drink ready and waiting for me in my refrigerator every day. It was staring me in the face, I couldn't forget it. I was blown away by the improvement in my inflammation, especially when I hadn't really changed anything else. And my sugar cravings went away without me really noticing, another big surprise.
Then I got my husband, the boxer, hooked. He also wanted beets and turmeric for recovery, so we added our blended reds for recovery and cardiovascular health. When I added concentrated whole blended turmeric and beets into my daily juice routine, my pain and mobility improved even more.
BONUS BENEFIT: I was also helping my liver and stomach repair themselves after all the pain killers, muscle relaxers, and steroids I'd been taking.
Now I can do almost all of the things I could do before my re-injury, and I'm on a mission to reach as many people as I can in case something in my story resonates with them, and they are ready (or desparate enough) to take the Green Drink plunge. The truly transformational stories of those who took the plunge into consuming blended greens daily are inspiring. Eradicating parasites, improving rosacea, lessening nerve pain, replenishing red blood cells after chemo-therapy, lowering liver stress, lowering liver enzymes, reducing hot flashes, the list of benefits is long and vast.
Having a serving of Sunrise Blends Daily Green Drink staring 👀 you in the face every morning when you open your refrigerator is the best way to get your daily greens and make your diet more anti-inflammatory. It's the easy button. Pairing it with beets and turmeric amplifies the benefits even more.
Millions of people who've added blended or juiced greens to their daily diet have reported a 🌈 rainbow of beneficial side effects including:
🥬Healthier💩
😶Clearer skin
💪Reduced muscle/joint inflammation
🦠Stronger gut microbiome
🚽Improved digestion
🤎More stable blood sugars
🦷Stronger tooth enamel
...and much, much more...
I'll leave the softer lettuces like spinach, romaine, and butter lettuce for your wraps and salads, as they are easier to chew.
Pain, inflammation, and loss of mobility can be great motivators to start viewing food as medicine. I want to help empower people to take control of their health, reduce dependence on medications, and heal from the inside out. Healing that starts with the gut and the liver.
We cannot wait for the food industry to start making better food. We cannot wait for someone else to save our health. We just need to eat more real whole anti-inflammatory foods starting TODAY.
There is life outside the window. You won't know what blended greens can do for your body and mind until you try it and stick with it, even when it gets boring and motivation wanes. Boring Gets Results.
Now I am challenging YOU to start a new habit: include blended greens in your diet for 6 WEEKS, and find out what it can do for your health.
All you have to do is drink it.
