Thanks Cockroches

"Thank you, German cockroach,

for teaching me about inflammation,

for being a health coach."

What's this? Let me explain.

Well, years back, a cockroach infestation in city apartment made me very sick. My nerves, hormonal system, and immune system were all disturbed.

But I wasn’t going to give up. I wasn’t going down the rabbit hole of endless doctor visits and treatments.

If I have a PhD in biosciences, I told myself—I will fix myself! And I did.

I learned that the key is hormonal balance.

And it can be achieved by minimizing chemical irritants.

It took three years of consistent discipline, but I restored my health.

I now have two healthy kids,

and I hope you’ve learned something from my experience too.

My daughter who enjoys my medical information, thanks the cockroaches for teaching me all about inflammation, even if a rough way.
