If you are not healthy, you will not play music as well as you could.  Right?  It seems obvious.  There are MANY aspects to being “healthy” though!  …not just physical health, but also mental, emotional, spiritual, and more!

I will report my experiences here.

*Disclaimer: Of course… I am NOT telling you what you should or should not do as to your health… only you can decide these things for yourself.  I recommend doing your homework, and checking with many sources before making your own informed decisions as to your health.
