My Journey
Rock Bottom
I always thought I was a healthy person…
Sure, my job at the time was high paced and demanding. By I felt like I ate well and exercised.
When I started to get symptoms, I tried to ignore them and press on.
Until they couldn’t be ignored anymore.
It was around this time I got my diagnosis of Graves disease.
I couldn’t believe this was happening to me, it was like a nightmare I couldn’t wake from.
Some day’s all I could do was stay in bed.
After this picture was taken, we were meant to walk up a small hill.
And I couldn’t even make it…
I had to sit in my car as my wife and kids went without me.
Not even being able to walk up a hill with my kids, this was my rock bottom.
My Wake-Up Call
One day my life changed forever..
My endocrinologist told me I had to have my thyroid removed or destroyed…
Until this point, I’d been the model patient – but this didn’t make sense. Why would we have an organ that could be discarded so easily.
I thought there had to be an alternative…
There must be a way I could work to keep my thyroid
And work with my biology, not against it.
This is when I discovered functional medicine which allowed me to keep my thyroid and achieve the health I wanted
Today
This experience was shocking to me…
Mostly because I just couldn’t understand why everyone didn’t know what I had just discovered.
You’re not a victim in your disease and can take control of your own health.
I knew I wanted to start helping people and make a bigger impact in the world and teach people what I now knew.
So I got an MSc in personalised nutrition and diploma to practice as a Nutritional Therapist.
I got trained in functional medicine
I started helping people.
I quit my corporate job.
I grew my business.
I changed my life.
Now, I help other people do the same.
