Reclaiming My Health—Mentally, Emotionally, Physically and Spiritually

It’s Friday, everyone! And that means another Primal Blueprint Real Life Story from a Mark’s Daily Apple reader. If you have your own success story and would like to share it with me and the Mark’s Daily Apple community please contact me here . I’ll continue to publish these each Friday as long as they keep coming in. Thank you for reading! My physical health has been pretty good most of my life—I had surgery to attempt to correct strabismus (my eye muscles don’t work well together) twice when I was an infant. I’ve had very few injuries and illnesses, thankfully. My MDA miracle is much more oriented on the mental and spiritual health level. I was always very squirmy and full of energy, and my restlessness surely got me into some trouble growing up. Even as an adult sitting still was incredibly uncomfortable until 2011, when I began the Primal lifestyle.

Best ‘metabolic start’ Eating for two may require some restraint.

Grass!!! Really thick, plush, green grass!!! I decided to put sod in the back yard and I am SO glad I did. The grass seed that was planted was just not doing very much  at all, and I didn’t want to have to wait until Mazen was in middle school to have thick grass again! The many stages of my back yard since moving in are: At Mazen’s birthday (last September), the grass was great, but the landscaping was terrible. Our whole yard was a slope, and there was nowhere to sit. The top part was steep and the lower part was flatter. Up near the house we had a hill of dirt where grass just wouldn’t grow. We always felt like we were sliding down a hill….I guess because we were! The patio flattened the top and made the lower part of the yard steeper. So now we have a great entertaining spot and plenty of yard for running and rolling. Integrity Design + Build brought in tons (literally) of dirt to re-grade the landscape. So at one point, the whole yard was all mud. They seeded it a
