Real World Paleo

Christine shares her very recent journey of breaking her left wrist on ice, resetting the bones without surgery, surgery when that failed (complete with titanium plate and screws), questions to ask, and taking opioid pain medications. Christine also says that practicing meditation kept her from passing out until the medics arrived and is helping to lower her stress-related blood pressure, potential risks of taking NSAIDS such as Motrin, and tissue healing benefits of Vitamin C.
