Back in the 90s when Shamanism wasn’t a thing yet and even yoga still wasn’t The Thing… hell, what was the thing then? Aha. Aerobics. In fluorescent leotards. Or maybe that was the 80s….
Anyway, in the 90s I was into yoga. And healthy eating. All my mates teased me because I ate super-foods (before super-foods were a thing) and seeds and sprouts and only organic eggs and cooked well for myself and generally really cared about my ‘diet.’
Nutrition, and all that. And, I was always getting sick.
In case you’re remotely interested, it was always my throat. I had bronchitis more times than you’ve had broccoli.
I had some kind of cold, or flu, or throat infection every. Other. Month. It was a real pain in the… no, throat. And of course, my mates mocked me mercilessly when I was sick. “Imagine what you’d be like if you ate junk like us!”
Well, at some point I became a vegetarian, and then a vegan, and I had a raw-food-only diet for a while. And I learned a lot from those times, and I’m glad I experimented and researched the way I did.
