Health Awareness . . .
Or The Lack Of It . . .
Is Why You Have Gout

Ok. This is where you're either going to beef up your health awareness and move forward and past your Gout . . . or I'm going to lose you.

You've got Gout? It didn't just happen to you. You gave it to yourself. You're not a victim, it didn't just single you out and descend upon you. You created it. It's yours, you own it and it is yours to be done with. It's your choice, it always has been, stand up and take responsibility for it.

It's not God's will. If anything, it's God's way of telling you to pull your head out and start paying attention.

If you didn't catch My Story, click here and check it out.

Getting gout and getting done with gout is completely up to you.

We live and die by our habits. Are you ready to focus on your health awareness?


Bert Middleton I want to try to make this part of the website an even more "real world, everyday" way to help get our minds wrapped around how to bring more Awareness to get beyond the gout condition we have.

I say "we" because this is helping me maybe even more than it's helping you: I'm really having to "walk my talk" now, so I'd like to give a huge Thank You to those of you who are reading this. Researching and writing this has caused me to "pull my head out" and my health awareness to skyrocket.


Very soon I'll be setting up a way for this page and others to be interactive so that we can get out there with what we are experiencing, what's worked, what hasn't, and where to go from here. Please stay tuned for that!

In the meantime, let's just break it down like this:

  • Breathing
  • Eating
  • Sleeping


Breathing. So, you think you know how to Breathe? I'll bet you don't.(I don't either, I'm learning too!) Click on the link, there's a lot to learn and even more to think about.

Start there, then we'll graduate to maybe taking the time to get out and walk, then on to exercise and movement. Exercise is an important part of boosting your health awareness and keeping the gout away but right now we are just working on creating habits.


Eating. We've spent a lot of time on this one and there is an enormous amount of great information out there about this, so if you need to, click on the link and review.

But just to reiterate real quick right here; it's not only what you eat, but how much and how often.


Sleeping. Kind of like Breathing, Sleeping covers sort of a broad range of importance in our quest for better health awareness. Click on the link and dig in deeper.

Something that goes hand-in-hand with Sleeping but might seem a little off track is Time Management. How are your "organizational" skills? I know this is a touchy subject but I don't know a better way to bring it up.

Kids, clients, weather, traffic, the phone, and who knows what, all too often seem to be beyond our control. All I can say is, I'm not and you're not a victim and the world isn't "doing it to us".

It's a decision. I'm going to bed at 10 and I'm getting up at 6. It may take a few try's and some reorganization to get it down, but, what the heck . . . what else are you going to do? Decide.

Sleep . . . or Rest, is an huge part of letting your body recover and heal up and grow stronger from all kinds stresses we create for ourselves; hormonal, physical, mental, emotional, spiritual. Get good at getting it, it's another habit we need to form.
