About Me!

Welcome!
I'm Kristin and I've dedicated this blog to my self-improvement and the wonderful things in my life. I'm a mental health therapist in Phoenix, Arizona and I've been in this field for about 6 years. I've been married for 3 years, I have a 16 month old son, a 10 year old cat, and a 1 year old Scottish Terrier. I hope you enjoy following me on my journey and comment on your experiences as well! Thanks for the Spur on the Moment!

Spur on the Moment

I'm all about improving myself. Being a therapist, I'm constantly researching and reading about the latest information that we learn about the body or the brain so that I cannot only serve my clients more effectively, but also gain some self-improvement. People tend to think that the therapists of the world have it all together which is farther from the truth. I'm still human and I have flaws. The difference? I have no problem admitting them and working on them. 

My life has always been fast paced with the next goal and accomplishment on the fore front. I don't think this has changed for me, regardless of what life has thrown my way, but the energy level has. I'm still the same individual with the same dreams and aspirations but as I grow older and I add more stress and responsibilities onto my belt, the motivation due to the lack of energy required by more tasks, was causing me to become depressed. 

I felt like I tried everything. I worked on changing my thinking, I became more mindful, I did yoga consistently, and I worked on building my self-care. Yet, nothing was changing and I still felt the same. Everyone was telling me I was too busy and that having a baby was what kept me exhausted. I just kept having this plaguing thought in the back of my head that this can't be a solution. To me this didn't feel like a solution, felt like a defeat. I went to the doctor, had tests ran on everything I thought imaginable, and he even did a depression evaluation. I was fine. Yet, why did I feel this way? If I was "healthy", then why do I feel lethargic, hungry for energy, sluggish, sad, unmotivated, and apathetic? Something wasn't right. 

My friend had done Plexus and I knew she was selling it and when I told her everything that was going on she offered it to me and just as before I was skeptical. She had an extra Triplex Combo at her place and gave me the 30 day pack and told me to just try it, what could it hurt? I was desperate at this point and I felt like why not?

For the first 3 days I had major caffeine withdrawal. I had trouble focusing, headaches, restlessness, and out of my element. What I noticed by day 3 was that I had the energy to get threw it. Yes, I craved caffeine but I didn't NEED the coffee. Very unlike me. Anyone can tell you, I drink coffee all day long to keep my energy level functioning. 

By day 3, I felt great. I no longer craved caffeine, I didn't feel bloated, sluggish, lethargic, and I had energy from when I was done with my drink in the morning until an hour before bed, and I felt like...myself!

No way. I felt like this was too good to be true. The feeling was going to come back. I went to the doctor for my follow up 2 weeks in, I lost 5lbs. I haven't lost any weight for the last 3 months! I told him I was feeling better and that I was trying this new stuff. I weighed myself 4 weeks in, I lost 8lbs. What? 

I ended up running out for 2 days before the next order came in and I never planned on selling this stuff. On day 2, the lethargic, sluggish, unmotivated feeling CAME BACK! When I got my order the next day and I restarted, it went away and I've felt great. 

I'm not telling you this to buy it from me, or to show you a miracle, or for you to believe that I'm selling something you want. I'm telling you this because it has changed my life. It seems so small but living like this was causing me so much struggle, anxiety, and depression that I knew I was going to need help soon before it got out of hand. Now, I feel in control and I know why I was having these feelings. I had an unhealthy gut. 

I'm sure you've read the science, seen the articles, and heard the news that gut bacteria is playing more of a role in our bodies than we once thought. Having an unstable gut is causing unregulated mood disorders, bloating, constipation, unregulated blood sugar levels, high cholesterol, diabetes, diseases, immunity, and unstable chemicals within our brains and bodies. So it would make sense that just taking Plexus which regulates the good and bad bacteria in your gut would make such a difference for me. 

But, it could make a difference for you too! You followed this blog trail to mine due to searching about something. Maybe this is your sign? 

All I recommend is researching it, looking into it, and possibly trying a sample. What's the worse that could happen? You might have a healthy gut? Doesn't seem all that bad to me. Check it out: Plexus!
Let me know what happened with you. Leave a comment :)
