MY STORY: WHY I’m here and WHY you want to listen to me
I’ve always been fascinated by the way nutrition and alternative treatments can help our bodies heal naturally. I’ve seen it happen but hadn’t really taken it seriously…
Until I become a mother. And though, at the time, I did the best I knew to run a healthy household, my kids were constantly sick.
Until It got to the point when I couldn’t even take my children to a supermarket without them getting yet another virus.
Until we stopped having people in the house and avoided visiting any indoor places with the kids, in order to avoid them catching anything again.
Until my daughter started pre-school and missed most of that school year due to constantly getting new infections.
Until that dreadful winter when our one year old son was taken to the emergency room twice, having to stay in the ICU for almost a week fighting for his life!
This was the winter when both of my kids endured rounds of steroid treatments and antibiotics.
This was the winter when Tylenol became a daily supplement in our house and I became a walking zombie from all those sleepless nights taking care of my kids when they were sick.
This was the winter I spent in constant fear of my kids getting yet another virus, another infection..
This was the winter of surviving.
This was the winter that pushed me to search for a WAY to keep my family healthy and happy.
This was when I enrolled at The Institute for Integrative Nutrition in NYC to learn how nutrition affects our bodies and our health.
The following fall and winter, I started to use natural remedies, herbs, and water treatments. As a result, though the kids got occasional colds, I’d cure them within a day or two with NO PHARMACEUTICAL DRUGS! We all stayed healthy, Tylenol-free, and antibiotic-free. For the first time in years, this was also a Flu shot-free winter for all of us!
The culmination of all this was our outing to a Broadway musical at the end of that winter. We took both kids in the middle of a flu season to the theater with over five thousand people. All who knew me and our story were looking at us in disbelief! Remember, this was only a year after I wouldn’t even take my kids to the supermarket! Of course, the theater was packed with sneezing kids and coughing adults. Just a year prior, such an outing would have been my worst nightmare coming true.
And we did it! after this theater excursion none of us got sick!
There are many physicians in my family, including my mother and my husband, but the conventional approach wasn’t helping our family stay healthy. The way in which I approached and ultimately prevented illness in my family was by raising our immune system which changed our lives. Unfortunately, a huge part of the western medical model trains students to identify the symptom and treat it with a prescription drug. The right drug would supposedly eliminate the symptom and… end up causing a number of new ones (which are usually called ‘side effects’) and then a new drug would be prescribed and this cycle would repeat itself again and again. Fortunately, now there are a growing number of Integrative Physicians who look at the cause of the illness and find the cure for it. This usually includes a combination of approaches in which diet plays a major role.
So if YOU feel you deserve to have better health, enjoy your life more, improve your diet, increase your energy, build your confidence, reach your personal goals, and create lasting relationships – you need to take the first step!
