Suffering with unwanted symptoms, and struggling with compulsive eating SUCKS.
I know this first hand, because I’ve been through it.
I understand what it is to struggle with food, and to loathe myself for what I thought was lack of willpower. When I stopped over drinking, I ran right to sugar and picked up my addictive behaviors all over again. I felt like my appetite was out of control!
I tried fasting, starving, vegetarian, vegan, South Beach, Atkins, high fat, fat-free, high-carb, no carb, anything to try and control my appetite, and lose weight. In between diets I would binge eat sugary sweets, and live on carbs and cheese.
I felt powerful any time I was controlling my weight, and beat the hell out of myself when I ate off plan, or any time I ate too much, which was frequently. My journal was saturated with self-loathing.
Unwanted symptoms baffled my doctors, left me exhausted and in pain. I was tired all the time and couldn’t figure out where my energy went! What I didn’t understand at the time was that inflammation was wreaking havoc with my body.
The inflammation was caused by overeating sugary sweets, and other foods that my body did not process well, but in all the times I was seen for my mysterious symptoms, not one medical doctor ever even asked me what I was eating.
I knew I wasn’t eating healthy foods, but the fact that not one doctor looked at my food intake lead me to believe that food was NOT connected to my symptoms!
I felt like I was spinning out of control, like I was powerless over food, and would never figure it out!
Then I found a naturopath who taught me to identify and release foods, that were depleting my energy. I also hired a coach who helped me identify and release behaviors that were depleting my energy, and guess what?!
I got RELIEF!
- I felt better immediately.
- My intestinal symptoms disappeared.
- The eczema that plagued me went away.
- The horrible night sweats vanished.
- My energy increased tremendously.
- I started sleeping better.
- I dropped 50 lb in 5 months without ever going to a gym, or doing a single workout!
THAT’s when I decided that I want to help other women who are struggling with food, and unwanted symptoms the way I have!
I became a professionally Certified Core Energy Coach, and Women’s Empowerment Coach at the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching.
Then I went on to study Mind Body Nutrition, and Dynamic Eating Psychology Coaching at the Institute for the Psychology of Eating. NOW it is my pleasure, my passion, and my purpose to help other women who are struggling create RELIEF in their lives!
Knowing how awful it feels to struggle with food, and knowing how much shame is attached to constantly seeing myself as a failure with food and health is the reason I coach. I don’t ever want any woman to have to feel that shitty, if it’s possible for me to help her move from exhausted to energized!
Let me know if I can be of service!
Wishing you energized thriving!
