My Story
I was your typical American, eating fast food, drinking sodas and loving all the sweets I grew up on. I have always been thin and thought that I could eat anything and didn't need to exercise because I wasn't overweight.
My life changed when I hurt my back and my mother forced me to see a physician. When I received my results, I was surprised that I had a few problems. I was pre-diabetic, my thyroid results were grossly abnormal, and my cholesterol was very high. The doctor recommended that I return in a month and have my bloodwork repeated. She warned me that if my numbers did not improve, she would start medications. I felt that making lifestyle changes and in particular changing, my diet should be the first step. I started my own research and dove deep into educating myself about nutrition and how I could reverse those "disease" processes with a non-medication approach. I am a very determined individual, so I made the appropriate changes, and when I returned a month later, my results where all normal!! The physician and I were extremely surprised but elated. This marked the first time I truly realized how my food choices affect my body.
A few years had passed and I found myself feeling unhappy, unfulfilled, and was desperate for a change. One day while I was channel surfing, I came across a documentary called "Heal". Watching it changed my life and inspired me to find ways to heal myself and others. So I decided to go back to school to further my education. During that time, I started learning about a lot of different ways to heal "outside of the box" of western medicine. For example, when I visited my mom in Sedona, Arizona, I experienced a healing modality I had never heard of called Photon Light Therapy. I was absolutely intrigued and amazed by its healing powers. I felt like I was finally on the right track!
In order to be truly healthy, one must be balanced in the mind, body and spirit. My ultimate goal is to help people become conscious of their daily habits and what they are consuming physically and mentally and how this effects their overall health so they can make better choices for themselves.
I want you to be MINDFUL of what you eat, even if you know it's not good for you. We have control over what we consume and hence are not solely bound by our genetics.
