I Was Sick of Feeling Exhausted and Did Not Want to Become Like One of My PatientsÂ
Depression, acne, gastrointestinal issues, low thyroid hormone, brain fog, mood instability, blood sugar swings, weight gain, sleep issues, and exhaustion… I had it all. And more.
As a mother of two young children, I felt I was past my prime. I was tired of strict diets that never really helped me and I thought that I’d never feel good again.
And then came the day I decided I had to do something about it.
As a Registered Nurse for over 16 years, who also has an MS in Applied Nutrition, and a BS in Business, I thought I should be able to figure out my chronic health issues on my own. I had all the education, access to doctors, medical advice, and medicine at my disposal. So why wasn’t I feeling any better?
I finally reached the breaking point when I realized that many of my patients were suffering from similar chronic problems as me and the common thread between us was poor diet and some not-so-great-lifestyle choices.
It hit me like a ton of bricks: as much as I love my patients, I did not want to become one of them, suffering for years with little to no real relief. I knew I had to make a change.
