After years of hustling while working for a corporate consulting firm, my body was TAPPED OUT of resources !
Like most busy professionals, I kept ignoring all the signs that my body had been screaming out to me for years:
poor sleep
low energy
anxiety attacks
diarrhea
constipation
bloat
acne
eczema
headaches
You get it !
It wasn’t until I started losing my most prized possession: my HAIR, that I started panicking about what’s wrong with me.
I felt like I was a “normal healthy girl” and had no idea what was wrong with me.
After spending a crazy amount of money on random supplements, blood tests and doctor visits, I was finally told that: “YOU ARE PERFECTLY FINE! Just take these multi vitamins, and everything will be back to normal”.
While not too happy about this response, I waited patiently (whilst continuing to bust my a** at my job), only to get the worst case of cystic acne of my life a few months later!
Finally, I was diagnosed with PCOS, told that this is a lifelong dis-ease and was put on the birth control pill in order to help me “fix” my symptoms. Little did I know that the pill was just a band aid solution to my problems and wasn’t really addressing the root cause. While the pill improved my acne temporarily, it did not help me with my hair, energy, constipation, and many other symptoms I was experiencing at the time.
I wondered – “Will I ever be healthy?”
