Earlier this month, my family and I traveled for the first time in nearly two years. Needless to say, packing seemed to be a daunting task as I now have so many things that I need on a daily baisis. Supplements, particular foods & snacks, not to mention my most needed "go-to" items when pain comes and/or I have an endo flare. I couldn't very well leave all of my comforts of home at home, right? And don't even get me started on all the extra sanitation that was needed while traveling. I had to be prepared. Today, I am going to give you a peak inside my wellness kit as National Wellness Month begins tomorrow.
It has taken me a lot of time and energy to determine what works best for me when it comes to my health regimen. Mostly due to the fact that I have had to adjust and (at times) completely change my regimen altogether with the advice of my doctors. Here's what I know for sure: sugar and red meat are most definitely my flare triggers. Cheat days do not exist for me. I do, however, give myself permission to satisfy a craving or two during the week of my cycle. But having a consistent health regimen gives me the room to do that. Below you will find my daily supplements and meds as well as the things I use if I do experience pain or a flare:

- Semaine PMS & Period Support capsules (use code ENDODOULA for a discount on your 1st order)

All of these things have improved my daily life in so many ways. I have learned that true wellness is a daily habit and there are no short cuts. It may seem like a lot to priortize your health ad wellness (especially when traveling), but in this day and age, it could mean the difference between life and death. Which one are you choosing?
