Since I was a child, I remember having a sweet tooth and craving sugary foods. I grew up on a high carbohydrate and high sugar diet.
I was obese my whole adult life, which started in puberty. In my 20s, I was fit and active going to the gym, and hiking up mountains. However, I didn’t have the right education about my diet or lifestyle. Back then I thought that a low-fat, low-calorie diet was healthy, but why did I not feel healthy? Why did I have skin breakouts, why did I suffer with a rollercoaster of emotions? Why was I still obese? Of course it can’t be the low-fat diet foods, as this is how we are taught to eat healthily, right?
I first discovered the power of food when I undertook testing which addressed some food intolerances and environmental factors that were driving my skin, hormonal, and digestive issues. However, at that time, I simply eliminated these foods to alleviate my symptoms, and I still wasn’t aware how to nutritionally serve my body.
Roll on to 2020, feeling frazzled with two young kids and my husband working from home during the Covid-19 Pandemic. Despite doing a daily walk and an online workout, I piled on the kilos and got to the biggest size I had ever been. I was also feeling terrible, constantly tired, and I was an irritable and grumpy Mum and wife! I suffered from brain fog. It was as if my brain had shut down and I was unable to concentrate on even the most basic of tasks such as putting on a load of laundry. This was my turning point, and I knew I had to change and educate myself.
Following a 20-year career in stressful corporate PR and marketing roles, I retrained and completed a 3-year Diploma in Nutrition from the prestigious College of Naturopathic Medicine to become a fully qualified Nutritional Therapist. My training included 200 hours of clinical experience.
Fast forward to today, through my education, and for the first time in my adult life, I am within the ‘normal’ BMI range and successfully maintain this without stress, over exercising or dieting. It has been life-changing to have freedom from the constant worry about these things. With the benefits of weight loss aside, I feel the best I have done in my whole life, with the energy to be able to keep up with my busy family life. I would love to share my education with you to allow you to be able to succeed in your own personal health goals.
I am registered with the ANP (Association of Naturopathic Practitioners) and the GNC (General Naturopathic Council). I regularly attend CPD training to further my expertise and keep abreast of the ever-evolving field of nutritional science.
I am a wife and busy Mum that loves cheese and chocolate. I love exploring new foods and enjoy living an active lifestyle. I love doing home workouts with BodyFX, as it offers a huge range of different workouts and fits in well with my lifestyle, but I also love being outdoors in nature.
