My journey with celery juice started the day before my 36th birthday. At this point in my life, I struggled with Hypothyroidism, fatigue, weight gain (despite working out daily) and I can tell you, I generally felt broken. I don’t know about you but, I was always tired. Yes, I run a very successful online business. Yes, I have three kids…and YES, I’m getting older, but WHY must we just accept that we feel like shit all the time? This is when Celery juice entered my life after a conversation with a friend of mine.
Her words were, keep an open mind. *hummmm* I’m pretty granola when it comes to open mind, so I bit. And she started to tell me about a book called Medical Medium. She told me about how many of us suffer from dormant viruses that are weakening our vital organs and are making autoimmune disease a thing, chronic illness a thing and that doctors can’t see WHY on their tests we feel like shit. So, I was in. And then she told me he wasn’t a doctor a got his information from “Spirit.” *hmmm again* But I told her I would keep an open mind, bought the book and have been hooked ever since.

If you follow me on Instagram, and watch my stories, you will see, that for the last 2.5 months I have had it daily, I also get asked a TON of questions about how it’s healing me and the general mechanics of it all. So I decided to write about it!
These are the top 5 things I’ve noticed personally since juicing straight celery, in the morning, every day, on an empty stomach.
1. No More Brain Fog
This was huge for me. And it was the first thing I noticed since juicing celery! Mornings never have been my friend, and I have always relied on lots of caffeine to get me through. I don’t know if it was hypothyroidism, having three kids, or staying up late to finish up work… But I was/am a bear in the morning. So while celery juice did NOT make me a morning person, I actually feel alive for a good 3/4 hours, and have ditched coffee.
2. My Digestion is on point!
Yes, I’m talking about poop. Everyone poops. But some of you don’t poop, and that’s bad news for your health. If you struggle in the pooping department, juicing celery will FIX that crap out of you, literally. Be very aware you will want to have a bathroom near by the first time you try it.
3. My Skin is Clear!
Celery Juice has totally helped my skin stay clear! I mean no one loves having adult acne than a woman in her 30s who uses social media to grow her business more than this gal, but some months it was down right CRUEL. Even through two times of the month, and hormonal acne, my skin has never been as clear!
4. It kept me healthy in a house full of sickness!
Since starting Celery Juice…I haven’t been sick. When mom is down and out for the count, NO ONE survives so getting sick I had three kids down and out with various viruses, chest cold, the flu and all sorts of fevers. Then my husband got the man cold and well, ladies you know how that is. IT. DIDN’T. TAKE.ME. OUT. I had some sniffles, but I was NOT down and out, and didn’t get any of it when they all got healthy.
5. Sleep: I actually sleep better!
When there are not 3 kids in my bed… I actually have more restful sleep since starting this morning celery juice ritual. And I’m generally not as tired through out the day!
So What Is The Plan?
The plan is to keep going. I am going to have my thyroid tested again in 2 months to see if there has been any improvement. I also want to focus more on the nutritional side of the protocol in Medical Medium Which would mean, I’d do a 28 day, raw food diet… which to be honest scares the crap out of me. Especially in Winter, in Canada…. But if it helps my body detox, then so be it. As with anything natural, it takes time for you body to heal. Celery is generally pretty reasonably priced, and regularly available (unless you live in my area of town, cause I just buy it all) and it has amazing natural healing abilities that I’ll go into in my next article. So if i’ve peaked your interest, get the book, and tag me in your celery juice pictures!
