About Me!
I truly believe that one of the greatest gifts that we can give ourselves, is to become educated about food and to learn how to use it to keep ourselves and our family healthy and happy! Where there is passion to find the cause to a problem, the solution is never far behind.
I’ve been sick since childhood really. At the age of 7, I had my first migraine. By age 14, I knew there was something very wrong with me, as I struggled with horrible pain and inflammation due to an auto-immune disease known as Endometriosis. This disease would take so much from me throughout my life and even to this day, including my ability to have children.
Infertility and auto-immunity plagued me every day. My life was never normal. Along with these symptoms, I also dealt with heavy bouts of depression and chronic anxiety. Sometimes, even panic attacks, which at times was just terrifying! Then later in life, these maladies were followed by eczema, joint pain in my hands, hips and feet, brain fog and chronic fatigue.
Wait it just gets better!! Then, I was diagnosed with mold toxicity and Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, which is a thyroid disease that is also auto-immune.
Finally, I was told that I was pre-diabetic!!!
What??
I saw specialists for various chronic ailments since childhood. I was the epitome of the conventional patient. I drank the kool-aid for years in the hopes of conceiving child and relieving my chronic pain.
Allergies, infections pretty much every year like clockwork, followed by antibiotics a couple times a year. Not to mention that I ate ibuprofen like candy.
It wasn't until a very memorable appointment with yet "another specialist" for "another label" to be told the same script of “This is very common for your age”, ”there’s nothing you can do about it, it’s just your genetics”, and of course the famous “We have a pill for that”.
How many times was I going to hear another Doctor say this to me? There has to be more to life than being chronically ill and dependent on synthetic, prescription medications that take away my money and my control?
I remember being so numb with anger I could barely hear him speaking. Kind of like Charlie Brown’s teacher. All I was hearing was “Whaw, whaw, whaw”! I walked out of that office that day, completely pissed off and determined to reverse it all!
So I did! And that journey turned me into a Nutritionist and Naturotherapist.
Now I am completely pain free (including migraines). I have alleviated my joint pain. Eliminated my chronic eczema. I have no more pain from my Endometriosis (which was LIFE CHANGING), Reversed my diagnosis of pre-diabetes and I no longer suffer with Crazy, Paralyzing Anxiety and what were roller coaster bouts of Depression. Had I known then, what I know now? I truly think I could have been able to have a baby! As they say, hindsight is 20/20.
I want Everyone to know the truth!!
What’s really nuts is I am a CHEF!! I have been in the food industry for over 25 years! I truly thought I knew everything there was to know about food, but boy! Was I wrong!!
So, now, when I hear the infamous line that everyone says (including me, story of my life). “We eat very healthy in our home”. Let me assure you! If you are experiencing chronic symptoms or have been diagnosed with a chronic illness? You’re wrong too! HECK! Even if you’re NOT experiencing chronic symptoms, you’re probably wrong too! That’s how blind we all are to the truth.
Knowledge is Power! The hard part is allowing yourself to absorb the TRUTH!
The truth about how your’e really eating and what it is truly doing to your BODY and BRAIN!
My life is completely different in all the best ways possible! All because I allowed myself to know the truth and stop believing the propaganda we are fed by the Big Food Companies and Big Pharma who bank on the fact that our ignorance will allow them to get richer and richer, while we all get sicker and sicker.
Change is never ever easy! Lord knows I've had my roller coaster full of denial in the realization of the commitment it truly takes. However, I promise you, just as I do myself every day. If you want to help your body heal? YOU TOTALLY CAN!!
I am here to help you make it YOUR reality too!
I am symptom free!! Therefore, I am free!
Do you suffer from chronic depression or anxiety? Or do you have symptoms that are triggered by autoimmune disease that are keeping you from living in optimal health?
