I want my body back

Hi Everyone, ***I apologize in advance for the long intro!🙃*** My name is Tawana. I went through a divorce a year ago after only being married 4 years and it seemed like what I will call, "the impact of the marriage" (overeating, unhealthy eating, complacency and sedentary) reared its ugly head. I realized at the end of the marriage I had gained almost 30lbs. I was constantly bloated, chronically constipated, experiencing swelling in my feet, ankles and hands, and just overall not taking care of myself anymore. To add, I was perimenopausal and didn't know it until I woke up in a pool of water and my blood pressure randomly started fluctuating. BTW, with those symptoms, my doctor never tested me. My mother "diagnosed" me. A year later I found out from a friend that I could be tested. For the most part I've been called "healthy" with "normal labs" most of my adult life with the exception of a PCOS diagnosis and an occasional warning of "prediabetes" that's been lingering for the last 14 years. The not knowing had me spiraling. I felt as though my entire world was unraveling. Having been an athlete most of my life and a military veteran who had to advocate for herself through the transition of leaving the uniform, I knew I had to do something. As I'm sure many of you have too, I've changed doctors multiple times due to feeling dismissed and even being told by a specialist that he "didn't care" if I took laxatives daily but I should probably consider stool softeners. 😐 I've tried just about every viral parasite cleanse, herbal bitters and even Chinese medicine my acupuncturist recommended. I'm here because I need to reconnect with my body. I want to understand her, know what she needs and work to get strong and confident again.
