For Better or Worse

For 25 years I was a chef. It was intense, creative and inspiring. I loved my job fiercely. In hindsight, you could say I was happily married to my job. But over the years my health got worse, doctors couldn’t find what was wrong, and in the end my health was the reason I had to stop working. I was out of the workforce for well over 11 years. First with an exotic variety of autoimmune diseases and later with a rare cancer, followed by long covid. For the autoimmune diseases, it took well over a decade to get the first diagnosis. And for more than a decade, with a huge list of severe symptoms, I was dismissed by just about every doctor I visited.

Then finally, I got that first autoimmune diagnosis and subsequently had a treatment prescribed. Still, with each blood test indicating all was well, the doctors kept insisting all had to be well. Except, it wasn’t. The extreme brain fog persisted. As did the below zero energy levels. As did the pain. This didn’t get any better after the cancer diagnosis and treatment. And it even got worse after covid turned into long covid.

I Can See Clearly Now

My first step into feeling alive again for the first time in years was following the AIP protocol diet.
I had been a chef most of my professional life, I thought I knew a lot about healthy eating, but the AIP protocol took me on a whole new nutritional path. I decided to learn all I could about this new path because having energy again, after all these years of dense brain fog that would put the San Francisco Bay fog to shame….. I never wanted to go back there. And to keep myself healthy, I realised I needed to fully grasp the core impact of my dietary and lifestyle choices on my chronic illnesses. I wanted to know the why, the how and the what.

First I got a degree in Functional Nutrition followed by the AIP Protocol coaching course. All the while being buried elbow deep in auto-immune or cancer related medical studies.

Radically choosing to be in charge of the self-care part of my healing journey was one of the best decisions I ever took.
