Join us link below! Bilingual 🇺🇸🇵🇱 Today, I'm a health coach, and I would love to share just a little bit of my journey with you. My roles in life include being a wife, a mom of two teenage girls, two crazy dogs, a cat and a snake, and I've been running a home-based business since 2014. Health-wise, I felt my best and had lots of energy in my 20s. Now, in my 40s I can again say the same. But, let
me tell you about my life changes in the decade between these times. Well, the number one biggest event was a move from Europe to the United States. Leaving our birthplace can have a huge impact on our health. Soon after my move, at the age of 27, I had my first child and entered into the world of motherhood. While my labor was an intense, harrowing three days, I had been fortunate enough to have an entirely enjoyable pregnancy with no health concerns. Those first years were wonderful and have no complaints about anything medically significant or even my weight. Everything changed with the birth of my second child four years later. Although I'm lucky to say the pregnancy was pleasant, my postpartum body did not react in the same way as the first time. My pregnancy weight stubbornly stayed with me, and I kept getting heavier. This is usually a sign of hormonal imbalance, though I didn't understand it then. This was only the beginning of an unhealthy period for me. In addition to the weight gain, I began to develop several health problems simultaneously. At 32, my gallbladder was removed after upon discovering large stone during an incredibly painful episode. Soon after the surgery, I suffered from liver inflammation, then predictably began having kidney issues, too. On top of all of this, I also struggles terribly with going to the bathroom. At that point, I was only able to have a small bowel movement every ten days or so. It was a celebration, the few times I only had to wait a week in between stools. You can imagine, the repercussions of holding in toxins and other things that a normal, healthy person should be eliminating daily. Looking back, I was taking several prescription medications pre and post surgery, undergoing tests, not eating or hydrating well, and battling my weight. All of this added a lot of stress, so my emotional state was unhealthy, too. Besides gut issues, I later developed asthma-like symptoms, chronic posture related pain, sleep irregularities, and constant fatigue. There were probably more concerns I don’t even remember now, but I bet this sounds familiar to so many of you. This was life in my 30s, until gradually shifted my focus and learned a different approach to whole body health. There are better ways to live and allow our bodies to perform as intended. The human body is an amazing, beautiful organism, and it can heal if you give it the chance. Today I often say to my client, “If you know better, you will do better.” Also, you may hear me constantly repeat that, “If I did it, you can too!” These are such simple words, but they are powerful. Well, my gallbladder is gone and I can’t change that, but my medications are gone, too. I'm back at the weight from my 20s and feeling healthy, energized, excited each new day and happy. For those of you who can't imagine this state of being anymore, I can teach you how to find your path. I can show you how to follow it daily. And, most importantly, I believe you can achieve your health and wellness goals.
