My name is Sarah and I am a 33 year old single mom of a 12 year old boy and an awesome dog. I am committed to making healthier choices in my life for my mind, body, and soul to become the best mom and human that I can be!

I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder even though the diagnosis never quite fit and spent the next ten years being put on all kinds of different psychiatric medications, that never quite helped, often made my life chaotic, and caused me to gain an enormous amount of weight.

allergist for testing. Through that testing, along with confirming I was allergic to my new furry best friend, I found out I had a severe yeast allergy. It turns out, the symptoms that led the doctors to believe I was bipolar, we actually symptoms of anaphylactic shock due to my yeast allergy. Luckily I had a psychiatrist at the time who was willing to listen to me. I cleaned up my diet while the doctor tapered me off all of the unnecessary medication. Since then I have been steadily losing weight and have dedicated myself to becoming the healthiest and happiest me that I can be!
