This post feels so vulnerable & uncomfortable to share…
I don’t love looking at old photos of myself because I barely recognize that girl. But I’m sharing this because I want you to know: healing is possible.
Back in 2018, I was so sick. Constantly bloated, losing hair, gained weight, had irregular periods, anxiety, depression, and acne that wouldn’t go away. I even had Lyme disease and didn’t know it.
My habits didn’t help: late nights, binge drinking on weekends, sugary coffees, skipping meals, eating processed food, living in a moldy home and overexercising. I thought I was being “healthy,” but my body was begging for rest and nourishment.
When I was diagnosed with PCOS, I was told it couldn’t be reversed just managed through medication. I was put on birth control and metformin. But things only got worse overtime.
I eventually stopped both and decided to heal naturally. I met with an incredible woman in my neighborhood who had healed her stage 4 breast cancer holistically. I was so inspired so I asked for her guidance. She spent an entire day with me, teaching me how to truly support and heal my body from a root cause approach.
Once I focused on reducing inflammation, balancing my hormones, healing my gut + liver, managing stress, and supporting my body with real food… I healed.
I’m still healing from Lyme, but I’m learning to listen to my body and trust the process!
If you’re struggling, please know your body isn’t broken. It’s protecting you. Give it love, grace, and patience. You can heal too 🤍
