I am overjoyed to have discovered these podcasts. Having struggled with an accumulating number of health problems that would have periodic dramatic remissions that left me realising how I'll I had felt and reminding me what it was like to feel well, I wondered if it may be something to do with my diet. I've been experimenting on myself for about 4yrs now and often felt sceptical about my interpretation of positive results. For example cutting sugar and starchy foods to a minimum, eating more fish and raw (or lightly cooked) plant foods. My scepticism was mainly because I had always preferred cooking from raw ingredients and processed/convenience food was an occasional treat and less occasional binge. Yet despite health improvement and over 3 stone weight loss I still found it hard to believe food choice could make such a difference. I'm almost 79yrs old but slowly recovering from the more serious symptoms of Hypothyroidism, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, severe hypotension, chronic kidney disease and sleep apnoea. I also find that I have not had any noticeable concerns regarding my cerebrovascular disease which had previously left me with brain lesions following a series of mini strokes. As a result I have shelved my plans to give up living independently and look forward to learning from you how I can do more to help myself. Thank you for giving me the confidence to understand what I need to do.
