My History

Hi my name is Jenn and here is a brief history of me and why I have always wanted to help people. I have always been a very active person. I played many sports, I was always boating and hiking, riding bikes, and going for walks with my family growing up. I have always spent time exercising on my own as well it is something I have always enjoyed. When I was 15 I became very ill. I was constantly vomiting and gained 30 lbs in a month while I was still very active in sports and exercise. My parents took me to many specialist. While they helped me discover I did not have anything life threatening. That is pretty much all they helped with. They decided to start giving me laxatives to help me have bowl movements. I was eating 8 pieces of chocolate laxatives a day and taking 3 tablespoons of Meralax a night. This did help a little with the discomfort but I was still sick all the time. I was able to get into a gastroenterologist with 20 years experience. He took me off the laxatives and informed me that they were eating the lining of my stomach. I have to say winging myself from laxatives was one of the most painful experiences of my life. While this Doctor continued to try and help me none of the drugs he gave me helped including one that put me into a depression for three months which I had never experienced before. After our trials and so many errs he told me that there was nothing he could do and that I would just have to figure out my food intolerance and constipation on my own. My parents helped me research and try out study drugs but nothing helped.

When I was 19 I decided to train for a triathlon. My work outs consisted of an hour swim in the morning, a 1 to 6 mile run in the afternoon, then high cardio and spinning classes in the evening. I was working out 3 to 6 hours a day 7 days a week. I lost 20 pounds in my first month and started to realize more and more that what I ate really effected me. That is when I turned to all whole grains and started studying super foods and the raw food diet. I also stopped drinking caffeine and soda. I started to feel amazing and saw that with high cardio it really helped me have bowl movements and the weight I had gained was shedding off.

In early September when I was 20 I met the man of my dreams!!! I was crazy in love and that was all I could think about. We were married in August 2010! Then Life set in and I realized that I was still very sick and it was not fair for me to be putting all of this on him. I needed to find a final solution and get over this so we can live a healthy happy life together! We went to many doctors appointments and every time all they would say was to take laxatives and enemas because my colon was full. That was incredibly discouraging since I knew that was not a good solution.  With his amazing help we found refuge by going to a colonist near where we lived. She taught me a lot about food combining and what exactly was going on with my digestive system. I was one of the worst cases she had ever seen and because of that they were incredible painful visits but I was feeling better and better. (Most people find colonics relaxing and a spa like experience).

Integrative Nutrition. I found this school when I was 19 and could not wait to go but the timing was always wrong so finally the summer of 2012 I began school. I have learned so much it is crazy and beautiful at the same time.  I have discovered the "right" foods to eat. the right way to trial and er to find what works best for you! I have learned the in and outs of over 100 different diets and  So So much more!!!

Now, I struggle with giving broad tips to people because you always have to remember "one mans cure is another mans poison". I could tell you everything that I am doing but it may not work for you. Plus what I have to do is pretty extreme since I have a compromised Colon and many many odd Food intolerance's.  So when I can and I feel that it is safe to try I will put tips on here like eating organic, eating local foods, and so on.

If you need help? 

I would love to help you!!!! I do free 60 minute consultations that are called Health Histories. If you enjoy your experience and want to learn and help heal in a very very healthy safe way then we can talk about it then. If you just want a Health History that is completely fine! They are very informative in themselves.

 If you are concerned that we do no live near each other? 

No worries! I am trained to handle clients over the phone and with Skype. It is so simple and easy with today's technology!

Please if you are struggling with any health problems I urge you to seek help in a form of a holistic specialist. In my experience and many others it is a great healthy alternative that usually has better results!
