Ever since I was a teenager I had dealt with your typical teenage health issues that we see ever so commonly. I was diagnosed with an Epstein-Barr viral infection in my late teens and it left me bed ridden for months. The recovery was slow and even months on - there seemed to be no options to feel better again. I was consequently diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia - what that meant was I was tired all the time with body aches and pains, headaches and just generally not feeling well.
When the doctor told me I was in it for the long haul (chronic fatigue can be a "lifelong condition"), I refused to believe it. My brain couldn't comprehend being this unwell for the rest of my life. So I decided to do my own research and to my pleasant surprise, turns out, there is A LOT we can do to change our health for the better and feel good again. The rest is history, after taking my health into my own hands and making proactive steps to get better, I started my journey on the study of natural health, applying everything I learnt on myself and those around me, with astonishing results. I now apply this knowledge to help those who are facing health challenges and want to have more control over the treatment and outcomes or people who want to optimize their health and wellbeing.
