My Story
As a child, I struggled with my health. I faced stomach issues, severe fatigue, rashes, and eventually joint pain and swelling that persisted into adulthood.
My self-esteem suffered greatly. I was often overweight or obese, and combined with my medical issues, I felt terrible and defeated. After a complicated labor and delivery of my first son, I was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus. Following the premature birth of my second son, I was diagnosed with Celiac disease.
There I was, a wife and mother with two young kids, struggling with my health. My family was struggling too. I endured chronic back and neck pain from degenerative disk disease and digestive issues, leading to the removal of my gallbladder on top of my other health problems.
Eventually, I became fed up with my situation. You might have heard it before, but it was so true for me: I was "sick and tired of being sick and tired." I reached a breaking point and knew I needed to find help and a new way. My health had to change; it had been negatively affecting my life for too long.
"The greatest wealth is health." - Virgil
My journey and transformation began. I was open and ready to learn all I could about how people heal themselves. I realized the connection between what I ate and how I felt, and I understood that my physical activity level directly impacted my energy. I recognized the role that perception and mindset played in facing my challenges.
I embraced new and different approaches to managing my health. I needed change; what I had been doing wasn't working. I committed to a lifestyle change, losing over forty pounds, increasing my energy levels, and reducing my blood pressure and pain through natural remedies. Since implementing these changes, I've been able to stop taking all the medications I had been prescribed—about 10 in total!
It worked!
Diagnosed with lupus, celiac disease, and high blood pressure before I was even 30, I know what it feels like to crave a healthier version of yourself and feel overwhelmed by the prospect of achieving that goal, whether it's losing weight, changing your diet, or finding a healthy balance in life.
