My Story
I’m Amy Salman, and I want to give you the gift of health! A gift I’ve given myself and now share passionately with others.
I was suffering with chronic illness since the age of 12, and today live free from all unmanageable symptoms and unnecessary medications.
My journey started at a young age. After my mother's sudden passing at age 10, I started suffering with debilitating stomach pains and digestive disorders at age 12. I had painful attacks on a regular basis that lasted hours at a time. This became my new normal way of life and something I thought I had to tolerate.
After college, the attacks increased to several times a day. I was put through a series of tests and elimination diets by doctors, and initially diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). With my new found diagnosis and medications, I was sent on my way.
I soon moved to NYC to start my corporate life. The painful attacks continued, along with a host of other health issues. Each new doctor's visit was accompanied by a new pill. I now had a cocktail of medications that were only masking my symptoms. Eventually, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease, an autoimmune disorder that attacks the thyroid. Suffering with brain fogginess, swelling in the face, muscle aches and pains, belly bloating, and extreme fatigue, I thought medication would finally be the answer. Once again, medication did not alleviate my symptoms.
I started to question the role of diet and how it was affecting my health, my doctor said food had nothing to do with it. I questioned that. After bouncing around from doctor to doctor desperate for help, I received no concrete results or answers. I was left emotionally distressed and exhausted.
At this point, with no other options, I decided to take my health into my own hands. I made significant changes in the way I was eating and living, and saw my symptoms begin to lift within two weeks. After a couple of months, I was able to taper off all unnecessary medications as well.
Now, I want to give you the gift of health! At The Wellness Map, I will share the simple steps that took my life from illness to wellness, and help you create your personal "Wellness Map" for vibrant health and vitality.
Whether you've been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease or other chronic illness, want to increase sleep and energy, reduce stress and food cravings, shed unwanted pounds, or live a happier, healthier life, you're in the perfect place!
