April Feels Better at 47 than She Did at 27!

My LCHF/keto journey has been unique to me, just like most others truthfully. When I started during June of 2016, I was fed up with being tired all the time, having no energy, struggling to stand up from a floor-seated position, and having to take meds for constant acid reflux.
