My Introduction to This Journey

I was born in  Peru, happy childhood and my life as a Teenager as well was great, but as I look back my nutrition was not 100pct healthy, you know as kids we eat lots of sweets and sugary desserts. My mom used to tell me that I always had a little goiter not so noticeable, but Doctor’s never knew the reason.

On my early 20's I got engaged, got married and moved to Germany for 14 years. The stress of that event and having to move abroad, living all my Family and friends behind, activated a bad reaction on my body. I couldn't sleep, I had hair loss, and had awful restless legs Syndrome, it was something I’ve never heard of, so I just tried to deal with it and without knowing the causes or what to do to alleviate it.

Then I’ve got divorced and my work environment made me stress so much, that I was having migraines and stomach issues daily, having stomach cramps, started having allergies and my Doctor wouldn’t help me, nor send me to have lab tests.

I have never knew why wouldn’t I had gotten pregnant while I was married, Doctor’s said everything was fine, without testing.

Then when I moved to California things got much worse, I’ve got so scared of all the new symptoms. There were days I couldn’t get off the couch, having brain fog and Adrenal fatigue, crashing all day long and being awake during the night. I had so many sleepless nights, my restless legs was with me forever. I was dealing with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, weight gain and inflammation, Food intolerances, I couldn’t tolerate noise.

It was awful to look myself in the mirror and see puffiness in my eyes and face, not to mention my belly, that looked like 5 months pregnant.

Why can anybody help me…

Randomly, I saw an ad on my feed on Facebook about an Integrative Nutrition School, that’s when I decided to go to school and study first to help myself.
