Where I Started:

A few years ago, I realized that I was experiencing a lot of negative symptoms in my health, such as gut issues, consistent low energy, hormonal imbalance, and weight issues. I decided that I needed to make a change and began introducing healthier foods, mindful eating, and exercise into my life with the goal of losing weight. This is where my interest in health and nutrition began, as the change I experienced impacted every aspect of my life.

The Impacts of This Change:

As I began introducing these healthier habits to lose weight, I was shocked at how attainable weight loss really was. With that being said, I realized that this change wasn’t only impacting my weight. As time went on, I saw that my mental, physical, and overall well-being had shifted. I gained energy, reduced my stress and brain fog, and experienced one of the most drastic changes to my gut and relationship with food.

My Gut Health Experience:

For years, I experienced inconsistent eating patterns and emotional eating. This caused me to develop an unhealthy relationship with food where I wasn’t eating consistently, developed digestive issues, gained weight, and experienced irregular mental/emotional states. This ultimately made my gut unbalanced and impacted every aspect of my life. After developing a better relationship with food and focusing on gut-nourishing foods, I had a complete mental, physical, and emotional shift.
