Vulnerable Post Ahead
As a child, I lived through trauma and abuse.
My stress hormones were extremely high and my nervous system was triggered, even as a small child - but I did not know it yet....
By the time I was at high school, I was having panic attacks, I was obese, had acne, chronic fatigue and I just wanted to numb the pain.
- I ate my feelings
- I avoided my pain
- I drank away my emotions
- I self-loathed and retreated into myself
- I never exercised or looked after myself
When I was 14 I used a new medication called Accutane for my acne - and the side effects (liver damage, hair loss, depression, blackouts and dizziness) are still felt by me now as a 38 year old. This medication is still to this day freely prescribed.
By 16, I was prescribed birth control for my acne, and then anti-anxiety medication for my panic attacks - which I would then be on for the next 14 years.
When I was pregnant with my son at 30, I knew I needed to come off these unnatural medications - I knew I needed to face my past, and heal my body.
Coming off the anti-anxiety medication - my entire world fell apart.
I had been numbing myself with alcohol, food, drugs and avoidance, but coming off the medications - I could not hide anymore from the feelings...
Facing up to my childhood was scary and confronting...
I was 30 when the photo on the left was taken, when I had finally had to face myself in the mirror.
Finally off all medications, and I had to admit that I needed to make changes and heal myself.
I was 102kgs, an alcoholic, bad skin, I had insomnia but was SO tired, traumatised, constant anxiety and panic attacks, diagnosed with cPTSD, and barely able to leave the house.
My stress hormones had been raised so massively for 30 years... My nervous system was so triggered, but I did not know it....
I did not have the education or knowledge to lower my stress hormones, or heal my nervous system. I had just numbed myself for years and years and years.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think a photo of myself like the one on the right (taken last month) was even possible
A mentor of mine had started educating me about Hormones - and I just knew this was the missing piece for me (after all, I had all of these symptoms while I was a qualified Nutritionist, Personal Trainer & Pilates Instructor)
I researched Hormones literally obsessively
I gained knowledge and worked hard for years to heal myself from the inside out...
Heal my stress hormones
Heal my entire hormonal system
Lower my triggered nervous system
Cutting out alcohol, caffeine and gluten
Regular exercise, lifting weights, Pilates, Yoga and daily walking
Supplements that have supported all of the above, Full Spectrum Oil, Magnesium, Nutritional Yeast, lTheanine.
So now I get to be happy and healthy...
Healthy weight
Healthy Skin
Healthy Hormones
Healthy Nervous System
Healthy Mood
Healthy Sleep
Healthy Energy levels
