I spent years running away from my authentic self in order to reach someone else’s ideal.
After my dance teacher suggested I start dieting at age 15, I spent more than 15 years battling eating disorders, self deprivation, and over exercising in pursuit of a perfection that didn’t exist. I earned my MBA and climbed the corporate ladder, yet still felt unfulfilled and unworthy. After struggling with infertility, I had my beautiful son Kai, but I felt so sick and exhausted I couldn’t enjoy being present with him. Years of toxicity and neglecting my true self finally caught up with me and my body said, “That’s it, enough!”
After seeing multiple doctors and healers, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease, a condition where the immune system attacks the thyroid. It was a relief to finally have a diagnosis, yet I was told I had to change EVERYTHING about my life to manage my condition. I felt overwhelmed, defeated, and even more exhausted.
Still, my intuition told me there were
answers for me — and for once, I LISTENED.
I researched extensively from all sources, read hundreds of books, listened to countless podcasts, and became a biohacker, trying every supplement, sauna, and gadget out there.
