My daughter Nevaeh who has Down Syndrome has struggled with chronic constipation, bloating, rashes and behavior issues her entire life. We tried every conventional medicine route possible from high dose oral medications, physical therapy, Botox, to chiropractic, more high dose medications, enemas, etc. I got to the point where I just felt in my mom gut that there must be another way; a more root cause approach. At this same time, I began entering perimenopause and again turned to conventional medicine with no success. I couldn’t eat a meal without feeling bloated and gassy. I thought I was doing everything right but felt so awful. After meeting with an Integrative Health Practitioner myself and for Nevaeh, I decided I wanted to become one myself! I wanted to learn everything I could about how gut dysbiosis can negatively impact so many bodily functions and what I could do about this. After completing my first 7 day detox, I was absolutely hooked and began the IHP program. After completing Level 1, I attended the Reimagining Health Summit in Florida and was even more hooked and felt a calling to this work! Now that I am Level 2 certified and further into my own health journey, I am on fire to help others with similar issues so that they can live a more healthy, happy, enjoyable life!
