My Story

Here is my story:

When I was 19 years old I was diagnosed with hashimoto's graves disease which is an autoimmune condition where your own immune system starts attacking your thyroid gland and you begin to produce too much thyroxine. My symptoms were so severe that I had to take time away from my University studies to regain some of my self back again and try to heal.  I had always been a sporty child with a passion for life and full of energy but within around 6 months after being diagnosed I gained a tremendous amount of weight and lost a great deal of self-esteem as I sank into deep depression and lost my vitality for life. My hands were constantly tremouring, my heart was beating so fast that I could have had a heart attack at any moment, I was also out of breath due to my erratic heart beats, my hair became brittle and was slowly falling out, I was told my bones were thinning and I had a good chance of developing osteoporosis, I had no energy and I slept most of the time, my skin was all cracked and began to thin. My whole body was literally shutting down on me and I had no idea what to do. I wasn't myself anymore. Then I began putting weight on which I never thought would ever happen to me as I always loved being so active. I was living on a diet of McDonalds, takeaways, pizza, sodas, chocolate, crisps, high fat greasy food, I don’t think any vegetables had been anywhere near me for years and I was miserable, severely depressed, exhausted, had acne, digestive problems and was overweight. Not only was my condition killing me but so was the food I was eating. I was a mess! I just didn't know how I was going to get myself well again. So I would like to call it fate because one day I randomly found a health book on my parents' book shelf that was called, 'Foods that harm and Foods that heal' and I became curious. What is this book about? So I opened the book and 15 years later I am still hooked learning more and more about food everyday and it has now become my passion! I finally realised the reason I became sick was because of the food (I should say 'chemicals') that I was putting into my body and I needed to change the way I was eating. What I began to learn is, food affects everything. How much energy we have, the health of your skin, your mood, your hormones, your weight, cancers, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and the list goes on. So I became fascinated by food and how eating the correct diet really does heal the body. Now, let me tell you I have tried lots of diets and I have spent years experimenting with different ways of eating, noticing their effects and looking for the best ones that work well for me and it has been a very slow process. I have lived off high protein diets, consisting of nothing but lots of dairy and meat, I have tried to live off just fruit, I have tried counting my calories and portion control, I have tried the weight watchers diet, and as a personal trainer I tried eating a lot of  high protein bars (which are loaded with chemicals) and taking lots of protein shakes, I even tried taking fat burners and slimming pills but nothing was working. I remained the same weight, had low energy, my skin was bloated and puffy, I had cellulite, was tired and lethargic. I just didn't understand how I could shift the weight, feel good AND look good at the same time.(oh and I was exercising a lot too and my weight still didn't go down) I then began studying the raw food diet and juicing. This is when my new food journey began and I finally became the girl I used to be before I got sick. I admit, I am addicted to feeling good. I love it and I never want to go back to being sick ever again. I am so passioante about helping people feel and look amazing because I don't want anyone to suffer the way I did. I want to teach you everything I know so you can be full of life, oozing vitality through your pores. However, it is a slow process and nothing comes easy over night, you have to really want to change and commit but as soon as you take the bad food out of your body and replace it with the good stuff I promise you, your life will change and you will become hooked on how good you feel. You will not only lose weight but you will start to glow, lines may begin to disappear off your face, bloating vanishes, even issues like arthritis, eczema, dermatitis and so much more can all begin to fade. There are so many amazing reasons to start.

I am here to support you. I want you to feel and look awesome! I've been there and I know how hard it can be and how easy it is just to give up and go back to your old ways. So I want you to take the first step and call me today, it could change your life forever!
