As a child I was very passionate about nutrition and considered myself a healthy eater, yet as long as I can remember I had issues with constipation. I was fortunate enough to enjoy home cooked meals most nights and my favorite restaurant for special occasions was my Mom’s Kitchen. In college I made sure my apartment was stocked with fresh fruit and vegetables along with essential “healthy junk”, you know low-fat Snackwell’s cookies, mini swedish fish, tootsie rolls and various cereals and chips. I started experimenting in the kitchen and discovered how much I LOVED cooking healthy meals for my friends and hosting mini dinner parties.
As I reached my 20’s my constipation grew worse and worse. In 1999 I went to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota where I was diagnosed with spastic colon. I don’t think there is a product out there which promises to “cure” constipation I have not tried. I even went so far as to do a trial for the drug Zelnorm before it was readily available. Unfortunately nothing helped!
In 2001, shortly after I got married, I started to really not feel well. I had unexplained aches and pains and was exhausted all the time. I went to countless doctors and they could not truly understand what was wrong. My symptoms became so debilitating I had to leave my corporate job in Advertising. I was a newlywed, supposed to be enjoying married life, and instead was feeling horrible. Through it all I always managed to keep a positive attitude, which I later learned was key to getting healthy. Eventually I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. After going to a rheumatologist who wanted to put me on a medication that was so addictive I would have to be weaned off of it, I decided there had to be a better way.
And so my journey to create my own well-being and happiness BEGAN!
The quest to understand my conditions led me to discover the strong connection between food and health. I also discovered many wonderful alternatives for the foods I had to avoid. Learning the different effects food has on my body was instrumental in helping me resume a healthy and happy life. Along with finding the proper nutrition for my body I also studied several self-help modalities including The Egoscue Method and Jin Shin Jyutsu, both of which continue to be part of my daily wellness regime. Today I am gluten, dairy and sugar free as part of a wellness program I devised for my own health and nutritional benefits.
I am dedicated to helping others benefit from my experience and found my life’s calling: supporting women to learn how they can live more vibrant, healthier, happier lives.
