MyLifeIsMoore was created to help those living with chronic illness overcome their diagnosis through education on the healing properties of diet, nutrition, and overall healthy living. This site was created to assist people who feel the need for more than conventional medication. I am not a doctor and I definitely do not have all the answers. This information is not a cure and I still deal with Ulcerative Colitis on a daily basis. Please continue to monitor your symptoms and recognize everyone’s body is different. What works for me may not work for you, and it is extremely important to listen to your body.
My name is Karson Moore and I am a graduate student, wife, Disney-enthusiast, dog-mom, and 23-year-old living with Ulcerative Colitis. I was diagnosed three and a half years ago, and I fully expected this disease to ruin my life. Check out my health journey to read the full story. Before my diagnosis I was incredibly active and involved in both my school and community. Once I began having symptoms, everything changed. After months of intense pain, nausea, fatigue, embarrassing symptoms, and dietary restrictions (no dairy, no refined sugar, no gluten, no raw vegetables, very few fruits) I began searching for any way to get my life back.
After reading several paleo/AIP success stories, I completely changed my diet and lifestyle. I adjusted paleo guidelines for my body, and combined information on holistic living with traditional medication. Healing is still a process, but I have been in remission for over two years! I am still learning how to best implement a paleo lifestyle, but I hope the knowledge I have gained and the information I learn in the future can be used to help others better understand how to combat the inflammation in chronic illness with diet. I now know my life is so much more than this diagnosis and I hope to help others have the same realization.
