About Me

New Orleans, Louisiana, United States
🌾 Welcome to My Low‑Carb Life As of January 2026, I’ve started a new chapter: I recently began the GLP‑1 Wegovy pill to help me get back on track with my weight‑loss goals. Life has thrown its share of challenges my way, and I’ve gained back some of the weight I once worked so hard to lose — so this is my reset moment. My journey began in 2008, when my doctor warned me about rising blood pressure and challenged me to lose ten pounds in three months. I ended up losing 26. By 2011, life had shifted again, and I recommitted to the low‑carb lifestyle that helped me feel strong and steady. And today, I’m still committed — just with new tools, new wisdom, and a whole lot more grace for myself. I live just outside New Orleans, deep in sweet Cajun Country, where we hunt, fish, “make groceries,” and enjoy the simple things. I exercise three times a week and practice relaxing on the off days. My immediate goal is to lose 15 pounds, and I’m focused on moving forward with intention and consistency. So pull up a chair and stay a spell — this blog follows my low‑carb journey, my Southern roots, and now, my Wegovy pill adventure.

What we think is healthy, may lead to unhealthy consequences
Healthy eating means nourishing your body with adequate nutrition. Some healthy eating campaigns encourage extreme dietary choices, which in turn may harm your health. For example:
  • A low fat diet can lead to deficiencies in fat-soluble vitamins, A, D, E and K.
  • A vegetarian or vegan diet increases risk for vitamin B12 deficiency.
  • Large amounts of uncooked vegetables such as broccoli, collard greens and kale can interfere with iodine uptake and suppress thyroid function.
For people who have a genetic predisposition, extreme “healthy” dietary patterns have the potential to be even more harmful. Common symptoms of nutritional deficiencies include:
Vitamin A deficiency:
  • Bumpy or dry skin
  • Acne
  • Hair loss
  • Dry eyes
  • Night blindness
To see if you have a genetic predisposition, check your genes.
Vitamin B12 deficiency:
  • Fatigue or lack of energy
  • Shortness of breath, mostly during exercise
  • Problems concentrating
  • Red, swollen tongue or bleeding gums
To see if you have a genetic predisposition, check your genes.
Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid):
  • Dry hair and hair loss
  • Dry skin
  • Fatigue
  • Sensitivity to cold
  • Unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight
To see if you have a genetic predisposition, check your genes.
Balanced nutrition is the key for good health. The HealthWatch 360 app and web tool are especially designed to help you achieve this. Pre-selected Nutrient-Rich Foods are readily available in quick-pick menus and your Nutrition Score in Daily Report will guide you to meet your nutritional goals.
