Hi my name is Sonya and I am in Australia. I have been listening to the podcasts

on and off for the last year or so and have just restarted from the beginning

using the workbook to work through the homework.

In the past I haven't been so good at doing the homework as I would miss it

while walking and not go back to it later whicjh has meant I haven't got as much

out of the program as I should have.

At the moment I am only up to Ep 4 but I feel I have taken more in from those

episodes than I have previously.

I just thought I would post my away from and towards motivators here for some

accountability for myself as this is the first day of the rest of my life.

Away from motivators:

Diabetes

Limited mobility

Shortness of breath climbing stairs

Towards Motivators

Normal Blood Glucose Levels

Able to walk up 2 flights of stairs without struggle

Able to touch my toes - this may sound strange but even at the age of 10 I

struggled to do this!

Able to walk 60 min without puffing

Thanks for reading

Sonya

In the spirit of good faith:

Hello my name is Amy Boesl. I am a wife, mother to 4 chilren: 16, Owen 11,

Libby 3 and Aubrey 1. We have 2 dogs and 10 hens all residing on our half acre

cul-de-sac lot in Ramsey. I planted a nice veggie garden this year, organically

and it looks like a jungle! We recently we a part of changing the zoning laws in

Ramsey to allow hens on parcels less than 3 acres. I am fondly referred to as

The Chicken Lady by some. We are transplants from the UP where I worked as a

nurse. I now stay home with the children thanks to our relocation. While I've

always leaned towards the " granola " lifestyle, this became more of a necessity

due to health reasons these past 12 years. I am still on this journey of

transition. My eldest two and husband being my least interested in conforming.

I've met some nice gals through my church and the NWM homeschooling group.

Thanks to TFMN I purchased some fine meat from Bella Sol Terra and met

personally the queen of kombucha, Barb.

I just recently began making Kefir and kombucha and am wanting to incorporate

more fermented foods into my diet. I have been gluten free for a few years but

with healing of my gut, hope to tolerate fermented grains. My MI MD thinks

perhaps with adrenal support and better gut health that this is a possibility.

So...I'm wondering if any of you have good recipes for condiments, specifically

BBQ sauce, ketchup and prepared mustard. Fermented or not. Hoping to transition

those plastic store bottles out of the house. I'm also interested in chatting

with anyone who has experience with gluten issues and or Crohn's disease. It was

suggested that I also take FCLO so keep me in mind if taking a bulk order.
