Health issue: tiredness and feeling of being unwell
Symptoms: Shortly after moving to Vancouver from Montreal, I began to feel tired and generally unwell. Being relatively new to Vancouver, I thought I was just adjusting to the weather. My husband recommended that I see a naturopathic doctor. I was open to the idea, since I had been to an acupuncturist for migraines.
Health recommendations: The naturopathic doctor made several recommendations. What resonated the most with me was the diet changes. I stopped eating foods that I was measured to be sensitive to, and I improved the quality of the foods I was eating. I also added a few nutritional supplements to my daily regimen.
The results: Within a few weeks of making small changes to my diet, I realized my energy was returning, and I was beginning to feel myself. This was very encouraging, so I began to further experiment with my diet. I became aware of how foods affected my overall well-being, and I found it fascinating. The experience sparked my passion for healthy and delicious food. I am now studying to become a holistic nutritionist. At age 40, I feel more vibrant than ever!
