My Health Journey: A Path to Empowerment and Restoration

The Genesis of a Health Struggle

My odyssey into understanding and repairing my health began with a candid realization of its impact on my daily existence. Growing up, my culinary choices were largely dictated by popular, high-sugar foods, leading to weight challenges and a series of health complications including hormone imbalance, fatigue, and digestive disorders.

During my adolescence, I battled with hormonal irregularities that were superficially addressed with birth control pills, a solution that merely masked the underlying issue. My struggles intensified through college and nursing school, where obtaining my RN degree and enduring long, stressful hours only exacerbated my problems. I often found myself teetering on the brink of exhaustion, kept awake only by caffeine and sugar, two substances that wore me down over time.

A Passion for Exercise: A Double-Edged Sword

My enthusiasm for exercise created an outward appearance of health, but at the cellular level, I was becoming worn, exhausted, and increasingly burnt out. The internal damage was mounting, but my determination to maintain physical health remained undiminished.

 In my mid-20s, I faced infertility and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), culminating in pregnancy through IVF and the birth of twin girls. While their arrival was an absolute blessing, it was a time of immense stress for my husband and me. We found ourselves without family support, raising two premature babies with health challenges. The sleepless nights, relentless pumping to breastfeed, and subsequent diagnosis of Hashimoto's thyroiditis further strained my already burdened body.

Finding the Root Cause

Eventually, I recognized that PCOS and other hormonal imbalances had roots in the microbiome. Despite attempts to balance my hormones and address hyperparathyroidism through surgery, conventional medical solutions felt superficial. Frustration and despair became a constant companion.

Finally, I embarked on a transformative journey as a Restorative Wellness Practitioner. This new path offered insights into the gut's role in digestive and hormonal imbalances. Armed with knowledge, I discovered tools to heal my body through dietary changes, blood sugar balance, and hormonal optimization. I found the key to cellular rejuvenation and energy restoration.
