This is challenging and exciting as when the magic formula is found, people start losing weight, and / or start coming off various medications for chronic conditions as Diabetes type 2, cholesterol, high blood pressure…. For others, I find triggers in foods that make them feel unwell, and develop a plan they can live on, having the right nutrients, even with their allergies or sensitivities. 

So how did I get into the health field? Growing up I was in many sports, but even though I was physically very active, not overweight and ate fairly well, I started experiencing some issues and was told that I had asthma, sleep apnea and PVC's (pre-ventricular contractions) of the heart. I was advised to go on a puffer, have my nose re-broken (as it had been broken twice before), and be put on a beta blocker. That's when I decided I had to take my health in my own hands, as I didn't want to live on medications for rest of my life and also didn't want to be in surgery to get my nose re-broken. I did allergy testing with a naturopath and it showed that I was pretty well allergic to everything. I knew at the time with the limited nutrition I had, that foods in different combinations could create a reaction. This was my start into the nutrition world. I was already a trainer, so this was my missing link.

Today I live medicine free, I know my triggers with foods and the different stages where I really have to be careful i.e. hormonally, sleep wise, stress and when I eat certain foods before bed. All these things can trigger a mild or major reaction. With all that I have learned personally and with my education I have been able to help others to live a healthier and pain-free life, depending on the situation.
