It was about 10 years ago when I started noticing my body change and I was only in university. More than once a week my stomach would start cramping painfully after a meal, began breaking out consistently and would have to wash my hair on a daily basis.
I was prescribed Accutane twice for acne as that was the only solution my doctor had for me considering all other prescription topical creams and medication either did not work or I was allergic to them.
I underwent every test available to determine the cause of my cramping and no doctor or specialist could tell me the root cause. Instead they tried to mask the pain with prescribed medication.
About 5 years ago I made an appointment with a naturopathic physician not knowing that my interactions with her would change my life. Within three sessions she determined the cause of my cramping that had haunted me for years! As I spent more and more time with her, I became aware of the amount of preservatives I consumed and chemicals I would willingly lather on my body.
Slowly, I have shifted away from my old lifestyle of preservatives and chemicals to a more natural and organic way of living. I’m not there 100% but I am a lot closer to my goal today then I have ever been before and want to share the bits and pieces I’ve picked up with anyone and everyone.
Thank you for reading.
