Through comprehensive gut testing, it was uncovered that I had a significant parasitic infection within my gut and other bacterial infections which were causing significant damage to my gut and the rest of my body. 

I also discovered many of the foods I was taught were ‘healthy’ were in fact contributing to making me sick.

Unknowing to me at this time, the gut plays a role on every system in the body.

I had symptoms of: Severe Depression, Memory loss, frequent colds and flus, hay fever (all year round), sinus issues, horrendous acne, fatigue, and much more.

Although my underlying issues were within the gut, I had almost no gut issues whatsoever. This is what has led me to become so fascinated with the gut, and especially the microbiome and role it plays in health.

I underwent extensive treatment and many experimental treatments (as my doctors and health practitioners didn’t have the education and experience that I do now) to try and improve my health issues.

I finally managed to find a successful treatment for my underlying issues and after treatment I watched as my severe depression, memory loss, immune system issues, skin issues and other symptoms improved dramatically.

Rather than my days of illness being a negative of my past, I have used them to learn and transformed that into helping others.

I remember thinking when I was sick, that if I ever got myself back to health, I would do everything in my power to help those who need it, especially those in a similar position where they feel lost, and don’t know where to go with things.
