About My Blog
Welcome to my alternative health blog! My hope is that what I share in my IBD (inflammatory bowel disease) experience gives you a new sense of possibilities in overcoming similar battles in your life. I will cover alternative therapies on this blog that have enabled me to live a life without pain, prescription pharmaceuticals, and has given me a new confidence.
I am a certified holistic nutritionist and health coach that specializes in autoimmune gut health. This blog is for anyone who is curious or not satisfied with the effectiveness of their current health treatments. I will focus on many aspects that pertain to good health from a physical, mental, and social standpoint. This blog is not meant to be perceived as direct medical advice or treatment plan for any condition. I’m simply sharing my thoughts and personal observations. Always seek the guidance of your trusted healthcare provider and use it with the knowledge you possess to make the best decision for yourself.
I would like to define the meaning and reason of my website name. I believe there are two ways that it can be interpreted. One of them being that I am emphasizing that all readers should integrate my literal nutrition regiment. The other is from an encouraging position of wanting those who read my blogs to consider their personal health and make the necessary changes for a better life. It would be an ignorant and harmful statement to say that my protocols are the appropriate response for everyone. I have seen this type of nutrition coaching before and am completely against it. The truth is that everyone is different according to their individual lifestyle, genetics, and nutritional needs. I believe that good health is much more than what you put or don’t put in your body.
Overcoming chronic illness requires an in-depth analysis to identify what areas can be improved for the desired outcome. Having dealt with pain and setbacks for the past fourteen years has made me sympathetic to the impact that an auto-immune condition can bring. I understand a lot of the pain and frustrations that many have faced and hope this blog can minimize that for some of you. I’m encouraging and empowering all to take a more proactive and not reactive approach in controlling your health. My role here is to be a part of a healthier road for you, let’s find the right paths and win in your health journey!
