A few days before my 44th birthday, I received the news managing my Celiac Disease and family history of diabetes had damaged my liver and made my non-alcoholic liver issues worse. So much so, that I am at a significant risk of liver failure in my lifetime. In a follow-up with my doctor about that news, I was also diagnosed with High Blood Pressure (Hypertension 2). To manage these health issues, I need to step away from the show, indefinitely, in the near future. To ensure that the podcast website, archives, and email address remain available, and the lights stay on for the show through these ups and downs without having to worry about where the money will come from, I've created a GoFundMe campaign to cover the show's expenses for the next 15 months while my team of doctors, specialists, and I work on creating and implementing a treatment plan that is manageable and will get me back to good health. Donate to the Crowdfunding Campaign: bit.ly/liver2024 Until the next time, spend each day caring for your self, so that you can keep caring for Earth and each other.
