As a kid, I started to suffer my first symptom of severe gut pain that was diagnosed as ‘gastritis’ and given a bland diet until the pain went away. I know now that I probably had IBS, and the diet was not addressing the main cause. 

After I moved to the UK, my health problems seemed to multiply. I soon developed a list of symptoms including chronic headaches, migraines, fatigue and severe body pain. For years I tried to find answers but was only given SSRIs from a doctor which gave me horrible side effects and made everything worse.

I found a private clinic that specialised in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and my lab tests showed I was deficient in many nutrients. Making changes to my diet, how I approached rest, and nutritional supplements helped to slowly improve my condition but I knew I had a long way to go.

Being a scientist, I was determined to find more answers and started to do my own research and realised that nutritional therapy was the foundation I really needed to heal.

In fact, my mother recommended I go back to school for nutritional therapy so in 2019 I started to train at ION.

The more I learned, the more I realised that I had all the symptoms of fibromyalgia and was finally officially diagnosed with it in 2021 through the NHS after insisting on more support. After thirteen years of suffering, I now had a way to target my research and find out what would help me the most.

Going back to school, and raising two kids is hard enough (even without fibromyalgia!) but I have continued to further my studies with an MSc in Clinical Nutrition from the University of Aberdeen. 

I’m committed to keep researching and finding scientific answers about how to properly heal, using natural foods available to all of us, instead of medications that can often mask symptoms and also cause side effects.
