Each of us experiences our own unique health journey and I would like to share mine with you.
My journey started 15 years ago when I was struggling with daily gas, tummy bloating and alternating diarrhea and constipation. I was living in constant fear of being able to eat, never knowing what might make my symptoms flare up and feeling uncomfortable in my own skin and body every time my digestive symptoms flared up.
That was when I was going back and forth between trying to eliminate one food one week and then trying a different supplement the next week, only to feel frustrated and hopeless as the cycle kept repeating. In my mind, I kept thinking I would figure it out by trying all these random things and wouldn’t have to live like this. But when I kept failing over and over again and I just felt like I was going to have to live like this forever. And then suddenly one day, like many of us experience, I reached my breaking point.
I just couldn’t live like this anymore.
It was then that I decided I wasn’t going to take the “random this and that” approach anymore and I finally invested in myself and received support from someone who could give me a strategic plan that actually addressed the root cause of the symptoms and gave me long-term healing of my digestion.
Knowing the huge difference Naturopathic Medicine made in my life, I knew it was something that was going to be an important part of the rest of my life. It was then that I enrolled in a program to become a Naturopathic Doctor.
And my own journey is what pushes me to help others, so they don’t have to stay stuck in the same digestive nightmare that I did for so long.
