As a young child I struggled with my health. Having stomach issues, severe fatigue, rashes, eventually joint pain and swelling that went on for years into adulthood.
My self-esteem was affected! I was overweight, obese at times, and combined with my medical issues I felt terrible and defeated. After a complicated labor and delivery of my first son I was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus. After the premature birth of my second son I was diagnosed with Celiac disease.
There I was, a wife and mother with two young kids and I was struggling. My family was struggling. I was dealing with chronic back and neck pain due to degenerative disk disease and digestive issues leading to me having my gallbladder removed on top of the other health crap I had been dealing with.
Eventually, I became tired of my situation. I’m sure you've heard it before, but it was SO true for me. I became “ sick and tired of being sick and tired.” Tired to the point of action! I was over it!!! I needed to find help, a new way, my health had to change, it was affecting my life in a negative way for way too long.
" The greatest wealth is health." - Virgil
My journey and transformation had begun. I was open, and ready to learn all that I could about how people have been able to heal themselves. To make the connection between what I put in my mouth and the way that I felt, to appreciate that my level of physical activity had a direct impact on my level of energy. I made the connection to the role perception, and mindset played in approaching the challenges I was facing.
I was open to trying and implementing new and different ways of approaching and managing my health. I needed new and different, what I had been doing clearly wasn't working.
I embraced this thing called health! I decided that I would do the whole "lifestyle change" thing. I lost over forty pounds, increased my energy level, reduced my blood pressure and pain levels through natural remedies. Since implementing these changes, I have been able to stop taking ALL of the medications that I had been prescribed. I was taking about 10!
It worked!!
As I mentioned, I was diagnosed with lupus, celiac disease, high blood pressure and I wasn't even 30!!
