HI all,

I am new and live in San Jose. I consider myself very lucky to be here due to all the great health food stores and restaurants in the area. There are a lot of ready made foods I can eat at the Whole Foods where I live,( until I can learn to make some of the recipes.)

I have suffered with digestion problems my whole life. I have also had terrible acne and sore muscles ans well as having little energy. I have recently been diagnosed with an autoimmune thyroid disease as well.I am allergic to eggs, dairy, gluten and yeast.

I am quite thin, 5'9 and 127 pounds and have difficulty gaining weight. I am hoping that my digestion gets better and I gain a few pounds.

I am a person who likes a lot of variety. I like a lot of choices in raw food crackers, food bars and other snacks as well as the fruits and veggies I eat.

I like to walk and bike ride and am learning how to play classical guitar.I am a registered nurse and work in hospice right now. I see how bad lifestyle habits lead to illness so thats why I am here.

Have a great day,
June

Aloha and Welcome to RFT!! It's wonderful that you are giving yourself this opportunity to make such an amazing difference in your health. You must see first hand what happens when people do not take proper care of themselves.... I think it is so commendable that you take this experience and use it better your own health...

so many people see examples like this and yet do nothing to help themselves get any healthier or make any changes in their lives... so blessings to you in your endeavors....

You do live in a mecca of Raw food goodness there!! you'll do just fine!!

I'm so glad you have joined us!
