😤😤The moment(s) I realized something had to change 😤😤
Even though I am healthier now in my 50's than I was in my 30's, I know firsthand how lonely and frustrating it feels to be dismissed by your doctors and literally desperate for answers.
There were actually so many examples, but 4 of them stick out like a sore thumb 👎
1️⃣ I would literally not get an ounce of sleep at night because I would be in my bed on my knees and elbows curled up in a ball from excruciating abdominal pain. There were so many visits to my Doctor and Gastroenterologist only to be told there is nothing they can do but try to "manage my IBS"
2️⃣ I found myself at the ER (again) with a fluttering heart and heart palpitations wondering if I was having a heart attack. I had already seen the Cardiologist and done all the tests and imaging and worn all the monitors. The Doc in the ER asked me, "Are you under a lot of stress? Are you getting any help at home? How's work? I'm not finding anything wrong with you." Again, no answers. It was almost like he blamed me for my symptoms.
3️⃣ This one is tough, but I'm going to go there because it is part of my health journey. There were so many pregnancy tests I would take. Each month, sometimes multiple each time, only to get a negative result. I have had 5 positive pregnancy tests. I have two amazing boys and I am so thankful and honored to be their mama. But the sadness and confusion for the infertility and the three pregnancies that ended early still break my heart.
4️⃣ This last one was about 5 years ago now when I thought my hormones and metabolism were broken. Every time I felt gross in my body I would just work out more and eat less. And it always worked. Until it didn't. The last time I tried that method I actually gained 7 pounds during a 21 day bootcamp challenge. Oh, and I stopped 10 days into the challenge! My adrenals were shot and my cortisol was whacked out.
🌞So, here's the bright side. I did eventually find answers. And I did get better. And I did restore my health. 🌞
But I want you to do it differently than I did. You don't need to get licensed in Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine and then later in kinesiology-based Nutrition Response Testing and then top it off with certification as a Functional Medicine Practitioner.
🦹♀️I already did that, so you don't have to!
I am turning 53 in January, and I feel better than I did 20 years ago!
And I want this feeling for all of you, too! That's why I do the work that I do.
This visibility challenge I am in this week MAY have me sharing too much about my personal story. But who cares! My deeper truth is that I care too much about helping other people find the root cause of their health challenges that I am not going to let the fear get in my way.
