Welcome to The PALEO Pharmacist
Hi, My name is Nevada........
In 2016, I began a personal healing journey when a lumbar disc herniation paralyzed me from the waist down. After emergency back surgery and receiving a rare diagnosis of cauda equina syndrome, I was left with the stark realization I had a long road ahead of me to recovery. With little research available on what to expect in my recovery, I chose to empower myself and develop my own healing protocol. Determined to beat the odds and walk again, I started a ketogenic diet after reading about the possible neuroprotective effects of ketosis in spinal cord injury. I also worked with a Physical Therapist weekly for 2 years and focused on restorative sleep. While my body made progress in healing, the biggest battle was in my mind and facing the continuous daily fear of the unknown.
I began to look around my house and feel suffocated by the clutter. Who was I? What was my purpose? What was I doing with my life? When hard times and great adversity challenge us to our core, we all ask ourselves these questions. Instead of becoming a victim of my circumstances, I developed a healing protocol focused on 4 Pillars-nutrition & home cooking, functional fitness, restorative sleep and cultivating a Quantum Mindset. I discovered who I was and ignited my life purpose through a desire to live more intentionally, embracing a minimalist lifestyle and curating a simple & functional home. The changes I made resulted in a full recovery. I am walking again and I lost 92 pounds.
I created The PALEO Pharmacist Mind, Body, Spirit Food & Lifestyle Blog to help inspire the collective in healing, transformation and a return to health & purpose. Sometimes the best medicine is a home cooked meal and finding peace in simplicity.
