My focus and passion about nutrition began a decade ago when I had a few extra pounds I could lose and was attracted to Clean eating cookbook I found in one of the many bookstores I was looking through. After losing 30 lbs just by changing the food that I was putting into my body (and a little bit of exercise) I was hooked. I finally knew what it felt to have energy and feel alive!
A few years later, my son was born with severe eczema and the doctors were of no help other than to offer topical creams. I knew there had to be a cause for his reaction. After researching on my own and learning that eczema was linked to my dairy consumption (even tho he was solely breastfed) my consumption of dairy was affecting my baby!
I decided to experiment and eliminate dairy from my diet and within a few days, his skin started to clear up. At 6 months, we introduced goats milk which resulted in an anaphylactic reaction, requiring 2 epinephrine shots before making it to the children's hospital by ambulance. At the hospital, I was presented with an Epipen, and very little information other than avoid milk.
With so many unanswered questions about allergies, I decided to educate myself about food and why my child's body was reacting to food like this.
I am now a Holistic Nutritionist and understand that our overall health starts with our what we eat.
Have you visited a naturopath and were told to eliminate certain foods and have no idea where to start? Let me create a personalized meal plan for you!
