My Health Journey
My Journey
It’s never easy to share this, as a Nutritionist most people would look at me and never see all the things I was feeling inside my body. I was stuck, feeling alone and frustrated that my doctors would tell me I was perfectly healthy but yet I had a host of symptoms. A lot of what I was going through I now understand was an overly toxic body, heavy metals, mold, Lyme and co infections, a life of not eating “well” and being on hormonal birth control.
I was 22 and in collage when inflammation and RA started to affect my hands. This was bad for so many reasons, but I worked in fashion and a lot of my workload was using my hands! I experienced insomnia, fatigue, irregular cycles even though I was on birth control to regulate it. Mood swings, cravings, swelling. There was a period of time when I would circulate from a UTI to yeast infections and my gynecologist didn’t understand what was going on.
I spent years researching and learning as much about health as I could to navigate and advocate for myself. I’ve learned from different mentors on how to apply useful techniques and navigate root cause to change the way we think of wellness. This isn’t just for me, it’s for my family, my children and the next generation that I’m sharing everything I’ve learned.
