One of my favorite questions to ask other nutrition and health coaches is how did you become interested in nutrition, health and wellness? Everyone has a story, a journey to health. Here's mine - post yours in the comments section! 

From junk-food junkie to health junkie.…

If someone had told me four years ago I’d be interested in glycemic loads, auyurveda and spirulina, I would have laughed in their face. And smacked them. I’m the gal who walked into Whole Foods ten years ago and thought the store sucked because they didn’t carry Diet Coke. I’m the gal who ate a pint of Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Fudge Brownie FroYo every single night. I’m the gal who bought Kraft Mac N’Cheese (it’s the cheesiest!) in BULK.

So what the hell happened? I’d love to say I had a moment of clarity and decided to treat my body like a temple, but that would be a lie. The truth is I got so sick with horrible digestive problems that I was forced to change my junk-food junkie ways. And I didn’t do it willingly – I was kicking and screaming every step of the journey. Give up sugar?! Just kill me now!! I was the person who told my sister to shoot me in the head if I become diabetic and have to stop taking my favorite drug!

Funny how things have changed. Four years, four lost clothing sizes, thousands of research hours, tens of thousands of dollars, one degree, one certification, and hundreds of nutrition clients later, I stand before you – electronically – as a Health Junkie, a gal who gets off on testing, trying and toying with every diet, supplement, cleanse, fitness tool, specialty food, health and wellness book, personal growth exercise, coaching technique, healing modality available in our wide, wide world. My clients and friends have been reaping the benefits from my guinea-pig-ness, and now you can, too!
