I went MIA & began a journey of deep self-introspection. As uncomfortable as it was, I committed myself to it & my perceptions changed. During this time, I also found nutritional therapy & was introduced to a whole new way of thinking about health. I started to see my body as a sacred vessel with an amazing potential to thrive when properly supported. I completely immersed myself in the field, adopted its principles & turned my health around.
Although I was feeling better, I still didn’t feel like I was at my full potential – still occasionally becoming overpowered by cravings & mood swings, still having some PMS & still having seemingly random energy crashes throughout the day.
EVENTUALLY I HAD ENOUGH.
In my early 20s I lived life pretty aimlessly. From the outside, everything looked fine but internally I felt an emptiness that I didn’t understand. Instead of trying to see where that uneasiness was coming from, I just distracted myself with things like partying & mindless social activities.
At 25, I lost my dad. Not only did the pain of losing him feel like I literally got hit by a truck, but all these repressed emotions, fears, & insecurities I didn’t even know I had came at me all at once. I had zero healthy coping skills at the time & I continued to use external things to distract me from myself, except this time things got dark.
I started going out & drinking more which led me to making poor decisions & hurting myself on multiple levels. Worse of all, I didn’t care. I stopped caring about everything & everyone, especially me. I had been such a lively light-hearted person but at this point, all that energy had been sucked out of me & I became a version of myself I didn’t know.
On top of the mental toll my lifestyle was causing me, it was also wreaking havoc in my body - driving inflammation, depleting me of nutrients, wrecking my metabolism & throwing my hormones out of whack. Back then I didn’t realize any of this though. All I knew was that I felt this extreme lack of inner peace & well-being.
I lived for so long without any awareness of the ebbs & flows of my hormonal rhythms that were in the background, influencing every aspect of my being all along. I now eat & live in a way that honors my unique female physiology & have found my purpose educating & empowering women to do the same!
I went back to the books, but this time dug into female biology & realized just how complex we females are in terms of our hormonal landscape. As a woman, our hormones & menstrual cycle affect us WAY more than we realize. If we are in our reproductive years, we experience hormonal fluctuations that occur. every. single. month. In fact, if were to look at these changes throughout the month, we would find that we are almost an entirely different women week to week! Women experience bigger monthly (& lifetime) swings in hormones than men & since hormones rule our bodies - dictating how we think, feel, & look - it makes sense that we should eat, play, & live in a way that honors them!
