For years, I felt like my body wasn't being heard.
As a teenager, I experienced a LOT of digestive issues. Extreme pain coming from nowhere, sickness, nausea and many days off school.
I had cameras down my throat, lots of blood tests and still no answers. I was essentially told to get on with it.
It was extremely upsetting. I just wanted answers.
Over time I cut lots of things out of my diet. Cutting out dairy made the biggest difference. And not one of the doctors I'd seen had asked me about my diet.
Fast forward to learning Kinesiology, and I wondered if I'd ever be able to eat cheese again, something I really missed!
During a practice session, we were learning about digestion and started talking about what was happening in my life when my digestive issues began.
I was a teenager who found it difficult to express myself, and there were a lot of emotions I didn't have the words for.
As we worked through the digestion protocol, we explored some of these emotions.
And wow. There were a LOT of tears.
It felt like I was shedding tears from a long time ago. Emotions that had been held for years finally had space to be felt and expressed.
What a relief.
I began to wonder whether my body had been carrying far more than I realised, and whether everything I couldn't consciously process had been affecting my digestion too.
Maybe there's something to those "gut feelings" after all.
At the end of the session, we muscle tested dairy and my body was responding positively.
I was dubious, so I waited a few weeks before trying it.
When I eventually did... I was shocked.
No pain. No sickness.
I could eat dairy again.
This experience completely changed how I understood my body and is a huge part of why I do the work I do today.
