2018 was a turning point in my life, as I was now not only taking care of 2 school aged kids, but also taking care of my parents, who had moved in with us so my dad could have extra support taking care of my mother. I was tired. I was depressed. I had been diagnosed with one autoimmune disorder in 2013, and another one a couple of years later. I was overweight, prediabetic (not diagnosed, just by lab trends), always fatigued, experiencing constant brain fog, on medications for depression, high blood pressure, anxiety, and being treated for severe joint and muscle pain. My husband had to beg me to get out of bed, often pleading with me. I remember having flares so bad that I would lie on the couch, tears streaming down my face, as he came home from work and did my job, because I couldn’t get off the couch. I just didn’t have the energy.
I had enough. My brother told me about this new diet trend he was trying, and having some success on with his health issues and weight. He said, “You should try the keto diet.” I started looking it up. I was like, “This is like that Atkins diet I was on! I can do this again!”
In March of 2018, I started my keto journey, and I have not looked back. Within a year, I had lost weight, stopped all medications except thyroid replacement, and was a functioning member of society again, with more energy and less brain fog. In Spring 2019, after my mom passed away, I went back to work as a nurse, and I finally felt like I was BACK!
THE JOURNEY CONTINUED
I started digging into the science behind the low carb craze, and stumbled upon certification through the American Nutrition Association, and jumped on the chance to make a difference through nutrition for health.
Now, over 6 years later, as a ketovore/carnivore practitioner and a nurse by trade, I am on a mission to help others find their own ketogenic lifestyle, helping tailor this way of life to their own personal goals and health needs.
My biggest success stories? My family. My daughter is off one medication and is healing metabolic disorder, anxiety, depression, and OCD. My son went from metabolically damaged and obese to a healthy cross country runner who is now 15% body fat, thriving and healthy.
