Yes, I feel confident and capable in my skin and clothes… now.
But, it wasn’t always this way.
I was exactly where you are today - I get what it’s like to feel stuck and have nowhere to turn.
Several years ago, a combination of mold exposure and a parasitic infestation caused me to gain 44 pounds within six weeks, despite my eating and exercise routine staying the same. It was absolutely devastating.
I suddenly dealt with anxiety, depression, puffiness, food sensitivities and inflammation.
And Conventional doctors didn’t know the answer. Since my bloodwork looked ‘normal’, I was being brushed off time and time again - given the ‘eat less and move more’ and ‘stop drinking alcohol’ spiel.
I was made to feel like my symptoms were all in my head, and that my excessive weight gain was my fault.
And as time went on, things only got worse. I added severe insomnia, chronic fatigue, brain fog and more weight to the picture.
I lost all my will to thrive. I lost all my happiness. Until one day, when I physically and mentally couldn’t get out of my bed…
That was the day I realized I needed to be my own best advocate.
So, I dove head first into research.
I spent tens if not hundreds of hours reading articles and watching trainings, searching for an answer I wasn’t given already.
That’s how I stumbled across Functional medicine.
And for the first time since getting sick, I was told there was a REASON behind my symptoms.
For the first time since getting sick, I was made to feel there was a way OUT of my chronic pain and weight gain.
So, I took one step deeper into Functional medicine and ran lab tests on myself…
My results uncovered the root causes of my inability to lose weight.
My adrenals were burnt out, I had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and sky-high cortisol levels (4x higher than normal), mold toxicity, Lyme and co-infections, as well as a condition called leaky gut, where the gut lining is permeable, allowing toxins into the bloodstream.
These ailments not only provoked my mysterious weight gain, but further insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, hormonal imbalances and blood sugar issues to name a few.
And by applying the principles of Functional Health with an individualized approach to myself, I was actually able to correct the imbalances in my body, rather than continuously put bandaids over my symptoms.
This was a major turning point in my health journey.
Within a few weeks, my energy returned, my weight began to drop.
I could sleep through the night and my hormones and lab ranges returned to normal.
After experiencing such an immense transformation with the help of Functional medicine, I made it my mission to support as many women in overcoming weight loss resistance as possible.
And that’s how Root Cause Health came to be.
