Why I Take A Daily Organic Turmeric Supplement

I am careful about what I eat, but I am also careful in other aspects of my life too. I seek out things that are healing to my body… such as drinking clean filtered water, laughing with good friends, and taking exercise classes. I don’t want to just live… I want to be healthy.

Can you blame me? I want to feel amazing and have lots of energy. I want a clear mind, free of anxiety and sadness. And I want to live a long, happy life. Don’t you?

The problem is that there are toxins in many products and in our environment that can lead to disease. This is why I try to surround myself and my family with the purest, most natural products (including supplements). I don’t feel comfortable ingesting synthetic substances invented in a lab by a team of scientists… especially when these synthetic substances come with a long list of potential adverse side effects.

Many over-the-counter medications contain “inactive ingredients” that I wouldn’t normally put into my body – and most definitely don’t want to subject my body to when I’m trying to recover from something.

I personally like to heal my body naturally with treatments like acupuncture and some herbal remedies whenever possible. Some people think it’s crazy… but herbs and spices have been used for centuries in Ayurvedic (a medical system that originated in India) and Traditional Chinese Medicine to help a number of conditions. These natural remedies go way back in our history and have been used for a very long time to support good health.

I successfully healed myself naturally in the past…

Several years ago, I had a bad fall and injured my tailbone. When I fell, all the nerves surrounding my spine and lower back felt like they were on FIRE! I was traveling for work at the time, and had to be pumped full of painkillers just to get on the plane back home. I was bedridden for 3 weeks and miserable.

And to top it off, my doctor said I only had one option for relief – surgery to remove my tailbone. Hearing his prognosis was devastating to me, because it meant that I would be unable to sit for at least 3 months and endure lots of physical therapy to regain muscle and strength in my body.

Not to mention having a very expensive surgery, taking lots of prescription drugs, and missing work and life.

So instead of going under the knife, I chose to try a different path. And I did it through rest, lots of anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric and ginger, and regular acupuncture treatments (yes – needles right into my butt!).

But then I decided to go to an amusement park, got on some really bumpy rides and re-injured the same spot. Oops.

Needless to say, I went straight back to acupuncture, started taking daily turmeric supplements, and continued on the same path of recovery – and guess what? I got better again.

Ever since then, I’ve made it a point to include anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric in my regular diet.

I like to juice turmeric – and really love to drink turmeric shots! I sometimes make turmeric lattes and cook vegetables with turmeric. And, I also like to take a daily organic turmeric supplement. That’s the easiest way to know I’m getting my turmeric in every day. I can travel with it, keep it in my purse, and never forget to take it.

Turmeric’s beneficial properties have been the subject of thousands of peer-reviewed and published studies. Turmeric is full of nutrients and antioxidants, which are ingredients in food that fight excess free radicals in the body that can damage cells and diminish health*. When I consume turmeric regularly, I feel better over all. Most recently, I began suffering from intense pain in my thumb and wrist, which many new mamas get from picking up their babies (which is why it’s called “Mommy Thumb”). In addition to acupuncture treatments and wrapping it, turmeric has helped with the inflammation*.  

One of the reasons why turmeric is believed to be effective is because it contains curcumin.

Research indicates that curcumin is an anti-inflammatory*. Chronic inflammation is a sneaky condition in the body and you may not even realize if it’s affecting you. It can be brought on by a number of factors… diet choices, environmental pollution, food allergies, stress, lack of sleep, hormonal changes… and, understandably, affects a lot of people. Chronic inflammation is thought to increase your risk of several conditions*,

Turmeric is just one of the tools I use to feel healthy and vibrant – and I plan to continue taking it for the rest of my life.

Unfortunately the turmeric supplement I was taking was acquired by a conventional chemical company that I could no longer support. This is why I chose to create a Daily Turmeric Supplement as the first product in my new company Truvani.

Check out all the details here  – we are taking pre-orders until Tuesday (early-bird pricing ends tomorrow). Remember we believe in real food without added chemicals, products without toxins and labels without lies.
