I have had my cortisol checked and it was normal. It is frustrating! Maybe it is a combination of hormones and genetics. Not sure. I feel like all this working out I do should burn it off though! I know some people store more weight in their thighs and hips. My body fat is 18-19% (based on my...

I have CF and I've been on a gluten free diet for 4 years now. A really great book to read is Grain Brain. And another called Wheat Belly. They talk about what gluten really does to your body. I was having lots of GI issues and wanted to try it. I was tested for celiac but was negative. What I...

Well I am a Bible believing Christian, and I do believe in healing miracles.  But that's in God's will.  Sometimes he heals us spiritually to help us through things, and we learn from that.  He doesn't always heal us physically.  But remember when Paul asked for the thorn to be taken out of his...
