Tell us about yourself
My health journey started more than a decade ago. I thought I was relatively healthy growing up, but when I got married, and things started to slide, I thought it was just a stage. Boy, was I wrong! It didn't become clear to me how unhealthy I was until I became unwell. It just hit me one day. I was extremely tired, my body ached, and all I wanted to do was sleep. I would try as much as I could to get some rest, but I always struggled to sleep. I knew I needed to figure out what was wrong. I went to my GP doctor, then to a naturopath doctor. I found out that my body was depleted of iron. I needed to make some major changes in my life!
After a few months of taking a supplement and eating better, I began to feel somewhat normal again. I started nourishing my body with the right foods, and within a month, I was sleeping restfully and was able to sleep an entire night through. I had tons of energy. I felt incredible! I no longer had any of the chronic ailments I had been suffering from. This truly opened my eyes to what nutrition does for us.
What we put into our bodies is literally what we fuel our bodies with, what our cells are made of. I am so blown away by how the right advice and simple changes left me feeling amazing. It was then that I needed to know more. I wanted to learn everything I could about nutrition and how it heals us, keeps us healthy, and how it keeps our bodies running efficiently.
That is where my story started, and I continue to learn what my body needs as it's always changing. I am excited to help others live their best lives and find optimal health and balanced wellness. It's an individual journey that is different for everyone. But it's never too late to feel the way we are meant to feel.
