My Story

When I first began my journey toward health and wellness, it was in an effort to heal my gut of chronic digestive issues which were wreaking havoc on my entire body. I began monitoring what I ate, kept a food journal, rid my diet of everything unhealthy, and was very strict on myself. And although I became physically much healthier because for the first time in my life I was taking care of myself, a lot of other areas in my life began to suffer. My commitment to my health grew into unhealthy obsessive behavior and orthorexic tendencies such as monitoring every calorie, rejecting invites to restaurants, and deeming certain foods as absolutely off-limits no matter what. I found myself in a place of complete isolation, social distraction, body self-consciousness, and unhappiness.

That’s when I realized something that changed my life — my health was made up of so much more than what I consumed. Sure, my gut health was feeling better than it had in a long time, but that issue was replaced with a hugely negative impact on my emotional and mental health. Being so restrictive had made me betray my body, my hunger cues, my desires, my friends, my family, and so much more. What’s healthy about that?

So I made a shift. I became conscious and aware of how I felt around food and how foods made me feel. Most of all, I learned that food is not meant for isolation. Food is a lovely gift that is meant to be enjoyed, without guilt, fully present in the moment with your people.
