For years, I was told to accept the way my body was.
I just couldn’t.
It ran my life. Not just because I was so unhappy with what I saw in the mirror, but because that reflection was a reflection of how I felt inside.
Uncomfortable. Inflamed. Angry. Sad. Bloated. Puffy. Itchy. Stressed.
The furthest thing you can imagine from being at peace.
There was no amount of counselling, psychotherapy, self-help books or gratitude that was going to change how I felt in my body.
I knew something was going on physically. I needed to figure it out, if no one else was going to help me.
So I left my career in fashion and became a personal trainer, a body composition expert, a health coach and a detox specialist.
But it was when I finally studied functional medicine that the pieces started coming together.
I could connect my symptoms, experiences, feelings, diagnoses and all the things I’d tried. I could begin to understand why things that should have worked hadn’t.
I started investigating my hormones, gut health, nutrient status and organic acid markers alongside conventional lab work.
For the first time, I could see explanations for why my body had been struggling for so long, despite all my hard work and continuous efforts.
My health journey started 30 years ago.
It was about 10 years ago when everything really started to make sense. And these last 10 years of living in my body have been incredible.
That might sound like a ridiculous thing to say to someone who has never struggled chronically with their health.
But if you know, you know.
I’m just so glad I never gave up.
If managing your health and body is taking up far too much of your time and energy, perhaps it’s time to look at things through a functional lens.
DM me ‘HER’ and let’s take a deeper look together. 💕
