Personal Discoveries Through Nutritional Awareness

  • Recovery - I now know that nutrition can heal. In the past I worked to exhaustion every day. And had a constant injury. I tore my meniscus in my knee and that sadly catapulted me into an endless cycle of terrible food restrictions and more injury. With the fear of weight gain I juice fasted even more. I believed that I need an entire day of rest with no movement and feet up to rest from the week and sometimes that was not even enough to feel ready for the week. What I learned through GDL is I was so wrong! Now I have more energy to train, to accomplish more at home, and most importantly I am happier, happier at home and happier at work. 

 

  • I think a big part of my identity now is being sober. Growing up in Reno close with my older siblings I started drinking at a young age and it just became a part of who I was then. I drank at all the parties, I was the fun girl, the party girl and I was super good at it. Not to mention I was married to a wine maker for 10 years. After my super successful sister passed away from liver failure at the age of 49 , I realized I was next if I didn’t change. Now that I am sober I realized I have been missing out on an amazing life for far too long. Everything has improved, my health, my relationship, my business and my energy.

 

  • Ex vitamin queen. Come to find out I didn’t need all those vitamins, I needed protein and carbohydrates. I took it all: glucosamine, magnesium, holy Basil, multivitamin, omega, & others. But the two things I wasn’t eating was getting enough of was proteins and carbs. Literally eating fibrous and fats with an occasional egg was causing me to be exhausted, perform terribly and I jut easily.
