My pink, girly-looking toolbox is great for keeping gizmo-gadgets
in one place so I can find them when a picture falls off the wall, or a screaming
grandkid locks himself in the bathroom and I need to pick that lock – and quickly.
But honestly, this cute, user-friendly-looking box is
deficient. While it holds a couple of slim-nose pliers and several miniature eyeglass screwdrivers,
it lacks big, influential tools able to tackle really mean jobs when something
essential falls apart.
That’s often the way it is with health, too. We rely on superficial quick-fix tools without
addressing what’s actually “broken” underneath.
In recent years, I’ve been outfitting a wellness toolbox
with new power tools (by that I mean powerful
tools): an anti-inflammatory diet, a mind-blowing collection of nutritional
supplements, an exercise routine with various resistance bands and weights, and
a schedule for regular walking. And I’ve realized vast improvements.
But new-and-improved tools showed up a few months ago when I
wasn’t even searching for anything else (it always amazes me when this happens,
as if God steps in and says “Here, THIS is for YOU”) - new products that
support health at basic foundational levels, and thus every other part of me as well. I’m in a better place as a result, even better
than the good spot I’d already discovered doing all those other pro-active
things.
For example, I sleep soundly most nights (no small thing
when it used to take hours to fall asleep only to waken as if electrified at
3:00 a.m.), tolerate even unbearable annoyances (huge when you have chronic
tinnitus that sounds like referee whistles going off inside your head 24/7), and
navigate physical and emotional challenges (amazing when you can hold your own
with energetic grandkids, and feel less jumpy inside when disappointment strikes).
It’s almost as if a switch has flipped inside, and my entire
body is calmer and more capable.
Things like this don’t happen accidentally when you’re
sixty-six years old. Rather, it’s about
these new tools: Plexus Worldwide products that oxygenate and detox cells and
quell inflammation, balance blood sugar levels, and rebalance gut bacteria.
Pretty hefty tools, I’d say.
Like crowbars. And nail guns.
As a result, I’m encouraging my friends to reevaluate their
own toolboxes filled with aspirin bottles and band-aids, and suggesting they
get serious about supporting health at bedrock.
And I have to say…Plexus is a helpful tool for doing just that.
