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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.&nbsp;My journal was saturated with self-loathing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unwanted symptoms baffled my doctors, left me exhausted and in pain. I was tired all the time and couldn\u2019t figure out where my energy went! What I didn\u2019t understand at the time was that inflammation was wreaking havoc with my body. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I knew I wasn\u2019t 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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I felt like I was spinning out of control, like I was powerless over food, and would never figure it out!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/cyndicombs.com\/coaching\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/free-woman-1024x500.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8642\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyndicombs.com\/coaching\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/free-woman-1024x500.png 1024w, https:\/\/cyndicombs.com\/coaching\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/free-woman-300x147.png 300w, https:\/\/cyndicombs.com\/coaching\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/free-woman-768x375.png 768w, https:\/\/cyndicombs.com\/coaching\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/free-woman.png 1068w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I got RELIEF!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>I felt better immediately.<\/li><li>My intestinal symptoms disappeared.\u00a0<\/li><li>The eczema that plagued me went away.<\/li><li>The horrible night sweats vanished.\u00a0<\/li><li>My energy increased tremendously.\u00a0<\/li><li>I started sleeping better.<\/li><li>I dropped 50 lb in 5 months without ever going to a gym, or doing a single workout!\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>THAT\u2019s when I decided that I want to help other women who are struggling with food, and unwanted symptoms the way I have!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I became a professionally Certified Core Energy Coach, and Women&#8217;s Empowerment Coach at the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ipeccoaching.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then I went on to study Mind Body Nutrition, and Dynamic Eating Psychology Coaching at the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/psychologyofeating.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Institute for the Psychology of Eating<\/a>.
