Introduction: Health outside the box

in introduceyourself •  7 years ago 

Hi there Steemit users!
I'm Rebecca (biology student, sociologist, social worker), aka Health outside the box. The name comes from my focus on health and my approach to it. I am devoted to what I call "health optimisation" which I engage in through biohacking and self-tracking, with a mindset off the mainstream road. I live with sugar addiction, hypothyroidism and Hashimotos which I treat on my own. Rather than chasing perfect health, the optimisation in health optimisation represents the creation of optimal conditions for health. For me, this includes - among other things - slow and toxic free living, fertility tracking (instead of hormonal bith control) a ketogenic, organic diet as well as living the life one truly want to live.

Since March I been featured on blogs (Adafruit.com, lchfingenjoren.se), Instagram accounts and Swedish well-known podcast Gott Prat. Here on Steemit I will be sharing my journey; all the do's and actions of my health optimisation. I will focus on practicalities and the mindset behind, as well as sharing my favourite tips and trix on how to feel good and be your best self.

As most of my posts will be chronologically ordered, I will begin from the beginning. I will post some of the earliest posts first and then work my way forward, until today. In this way, you will be able to follow my development while at the same time getting a better understanding of both the details as well as the bigger picture. I will always appreciate to hear your thoughts, impressions and ideas relating to my posts. Feel free to comment! It is actually in dialogue that much of the optimisation begins. And if you like what I do, please hit the upvote button to let me know! :)

If you want to contact me privately you can do so on Steemit or Instagram (@healthoutsidethebox). All the best!

Wellcome to steemit

Welcome to steemit

Hi Rebecca! welcome to steemit!

As someone who also suffers from thyroid issues, sugar addiction, and MSG sensitivity I can understand how difficult it can be to crave something when you know it is not optimally suited for your body. Throughout my years as a bodybuilder and my life now as a day trader I struggled to find a balance. Finding balance has been the toughest part but I think I have found a healthy balance that keeps my mental state functioning optimally as well as physically.

I look forward to following your journey!

Upvoted and followed!

Hi there, thanks! :)
Ah, I see, similar interests. And I also used to lift weights (I was no body builder though!) but I had to quit due to my poor adrenal and thyroid state. Can't wait to get back into the gym (next year?) and start to feel strong again! Good to hear you have found your balance.

I'm really a newbie here at Steemit and I'm still learning the system so I'm still a bit comfused with what I should and should not do! I guess I will learn with time.

sorry to hear about your poor adrenal and thyroid state, glad you are making strides toward your goals!
