MY STORY
Like many natural health practitioners, I have gone through my own health issues and come out the other side. Although I really didn't know it at the time, my diet before I started studying nutrition was very low in many critical nutrients. Like many of my clients I see, I would of described my diet as 'healthy', as I did not really eat junk food (or so I thought). However, I was lacking in many nutrients, which was only exacerbated when I decided to go vegetarian. Without any knowledge of nutrition (I'd never even heard of an amino acid), I removed most animal foods from my diet, only to be replaced mainly by carbohydrates such as pasta, rice, bread and crackers.
Needless to say I wound up completely nutritionally deplete. I was extremely tired all the time, so much so that I thought I had chronic fatigue. My nails split constantly and I suffered from low mood and insomnia.
When I reintroduced meat back into my diet, I suddenly began to experience extreme digestive issues. Abdominal bloating, pain + more. I'd even have to leave my night classes early due to the severity of my symptoms. I just couldn't understand why my healthy dinner of brown rice, broccoli and chicken was causing me such extreme digestive symptoms and pain.
Luckily I was studying at a natural health college with a student clinic, so I was able to sort out my gut issues with a student practioner.
I look back on it now and know EXACTLY what happened. I have always had a tendency to digestive symptoms, maybe due to antibiotics through childhood, however it all fell apart during my late teens and early adult life when hormones, nutritional deficiencies and stress entered the picture. By removing animal foods from my diet without knowing how to replace them nutritionally with plant foods, I depleted my body of essential nutrients needed for normal digestive function (among many other functions).
While digestive issues were my main complaint, through improving my diet and lifestyle I also saw dramatic improvements in:
Mood (good-bye depression)
Sleep (insomnia gone, MOST of the time)
Regular cycles (and no more period pain)
Clear and glowing skin
So when you come to me complaining of digestive symptoms - I get you! I've been there, and I can help you.
