MY WHY

For 32 years I got out of bed in the morning not knowing my “why.”
I can say that I am now on my 4th year of knowing my “why”…. AND I LOVE IT.

For me the reason I get out of bed in the morning is 1st, to take care of my daughter. The 2nd, is to educate people on how to attain the quality of life they may have lost or want to create, using methods backed by neurology and biology. These laws and principles help me to get my clients out of pain, feel and look better. Part of my why is to inform people of some of the strategic marketing lies that the medical and fitness empires like to spew out, disguising themselves as healers and a place where sick people can finally find answers and relief.

For most of my life I have been health conscious. What does that mean? I was physically active. I hiked, danced, rode horses, I did what the books said and ate clean. I have done almost every diet out there. I’ve eaten according to my blood type, counted points, ate only plants, went raw and sprouted my foods, did the thyroid diet, the rice diet (that’s when I ate a buttload of rice and broccoli ), took herbal pills, I even went to the extreme of only eating 400-500 calories a day while training for the Big Sur marathon (foolish I know). What was my result? By the age of 30 I had already experienced a miscarriage, depression, anxiety, poor sleep, difficulty losing weight, horrible PMS, dry and damaged hair, thyroid and liver issues, hip pain as well as nerve pain in my foot, bacterial infections, and just a lack of confidence. As I slowly got worse I would ask myself, “What am I missing?” I assumed that I hadn’t found the right program yet, or that I wasn’t working out hard enough… basically I was putting all the blame on myself. Was it my fault? I wasn’t a health professional, I had no understanding of basic human physiology at the time, I didn’t even know about what our brain and body uses as fuel. I had no idea about macronutrients and how much I needed daily. Society and high budgeted commercials told me I should trust what I was hearing and reading from the health and medical world. So I did…and I got sicker.

Thrilled to tell you my life turned upside down when I was introduced to Z health Performance and the research done by Dr. Ray Peat, Dr. Hans Selye, as well as many others. It took me time for me to be courageous enough to admit that my beliefs of health and what “healthy” looked like was wrong. Once I did that, my life took on a whole new meaning.

Instead of my life being centered on the abuse I had experienced when I was younger and as a married woman, my mission became to teach others that they could create a new story for themselves like I did. That their brain and body could mold and adapt to whatever It wanted and the outcome would be a life that they ACTUALLY WANT. I want to show people that they have options despite what they have been told by who they believe to be an authority.

Another thing that inspires my why is the death of my sister. She died of Cancer in 2017. I personally feel she was not given the many options that should have been given her regarding her health. She was handed the everyday protocol that one would get when going to the doctor. I also feel that her health wouldn’t have declined if she was taught what a healthy metabolism looks like and how to achieve one. When she was in pain and gaining weight she was given medications that only masked the issues, and that exxaberated her inflammation on a cellular level.

Again, my sister as well as many others would be alive today if they were taught what the warning signs of a low functioning metabolism looks like and how to repair it.

So many warning signs and symptoms are over looked and dismissed because of protocol in thousands of doctor visits and hospitals. This is why its important for me to educate my clients on how the body functions and to look at the whole picture. It’s important for my clients to know that they need to take control over their situation, and it’s not as daunting as one would think, when you have a team on your side ready to give you the support that they need at any given time. It brings me joy when my clients start to experience the happiness that comes out of feeling, moving, and looking better.

I want to show the person who is in pain everyday that their suffering can go away. Showing them options so they don’t have to rely or become addicted to pain meds or be accused of being a drug addict when trying to cope with their pain.  I want to find the person who is tired of their weight going up and down, or not moving at all.  I hope to help as many people as I can by giving them options so they can repair themselves. Leading them to a life they never thought would be possible.
