Have you ever gone to a doctor’s appointment and couldn’t remember all the questions you wanted to ask? Do you find it challenging to keep all your nutrition, fitness, medical and spiritual information organized? Through dealing with my own health-related challenges, I have come to recognize the importance of having one place to document medical, nutritional, physical and emotional aspects of your life. Documenting your life’s journey helps to alleviate the stress of trying to remember appointments, tests, medications, symptoms, thoughts and questions. This is a resource that will continually evolve and hopefully inspire you to be present, be purposeful and be well.
