My nutritional journey began in my early thirties after I went through long periods of stress and an overly busy lifestyle. I had gradually started to experience symptoms such as reduce energy levels, insomnia, frequent colds, infections, low moods, anxiety, and panic attacks. Symptoms got worse following the birth of my daughter as well as other health issues, including food sensitivities, gut problems, skin rashes, and unexplained muscle pains, had started to kick in.

In the beginning, I had tried to ignore my symptoms, which I had put down to being a new parent and tried my best to carry on as normal, working and exercising, but my symptoms were getting worse and soon daily life, and things I needed or wanted to do had become such a struggle, even gentle exercise was leaving me exhausted. I was napping regularly throughout the day and was looking for every opportunity to lay in bed. I had seen my doctor on several occasions, but apart from low vitamin D levels found by blood tests, I was informed there was nothing else wrong with me. I knew I did not want to carry on like this and realised I had to try other options to help myself.

I began researching the internet, read lots of health articles regarding my symptoms, and tried different foods and diets, but I still wasn’t feeling the way I wanted. Moreover, soon all the information I found become very confusing, leaving me thinking what to do next.
