Asthma in childhood accompanied by allergies in my teens initiated my health journey. This led me to discover the differences that nutrition and lifestyle can make.
In my early twenties I realised that food and drink choices, alongside a busy work schedule, little interest in exercise, whilst raising my three children resulted in the health symptoms that I was experiencing.
Regular colds, tonsillitis, on going nasal issues and breathing problems began to impact my work and family life.
I craved sweet foods and drinks which fuelled the dysregulation of sugar in the blood. This triggered hormone imbalances resulting in severe premenstrual symptoms; migraines, low mood and energy, disrupted sleep cycle, insomnia, allergic skin reactions and eczema.
My road to better health began with baby steps, small changes. Over time I identified triggers, eliminated foods, and rebalanced my blood sugar. This became my turning point. I saw the potential for unlocking health improvements without medication.
I strengthened my immune system, balanced my hormones, which in turn supported my sleep and consequently my mood. My symptoms subsided and I realised that making better food and lifestyle choices resulted in feeling motivated and empowered.
Fast forward…
Through studying and practicing nutritional therapy, considering food and lifestyle at a cellular level and looking at the bodies systems as a whole has taken me on a path of discovery.
The human body is resourceful and amazing!
It is consistently adapting, supporting homeostasis. It does a fantastic job! Unfortunately, modern day lifestyles, environmental changes, depleted nutrients in soil and highly processed foods can create challenges for our bodies, tipping our natural balance and ability to adapt.
