My experience with osteoarthritis and Crohn’s disease has shaped my perspective on health and wellness.
Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease affecting the gastrointestinal tract. It causes inflammation, ulcers, and various digestive symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and fatigue. Living with Crohn’s disease can be particularly demanding due to the unpredictable nature of flare-ups and their impact on daily routines and overall well-being.
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that affects millions of people worldwide. It causes the cartilage in the joints to break down, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Living with osteoarthritis can be challenging, because it can significantly impact daily activities and diminish one’s quality of life.
During my journey of overcoming osteoarthritis and Crohn’s disease, I discovered that food is a powerful medicine and plays a crucial role in health and wellness. I experienced firsthand the transformative power of incorporating a healthy eating plan during my recovery journey. By making informed dietary choices, adopting tailored exercise routines, and nurturing a holistic approach to well-being, I regained my vitality and improved my overall health. My passion is to assist, encourage, motivate, and empower my clients to do the same.
I would love to join you on your transformative journey towards health and wellness. I will help you discover and experience the true power of food as medicine. Together, let’s embark on this journey to a healthy, vibrant, thriving life.
