 My Endo
  Story

IMG_6681.jpg

My health journey started in 2016 when I was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis, one of the worst cases my doctor had ever seen. 

I had spent most of my adult life suffering from severe pain and bloating during my period and was always told by medical professionals this was "normal", I had also been prescribed the pill at 16 to "regulate" my periods. So to finally get my endometrosis diagnoses, it came a s a slight relief, I finally knew what was wrong with me. But like almost all women diagnosed with endo, I was told there is no cure, no one is entirely sure why it occurs and I'm just going to have to live with it. 

After my first laparoscopic surgery, I was again prescribed a contraceptive, this time it was the Merina. And again, I was told by medical professionals, this would ease the pain, and slow down the inevitable growth of more endo lesions. 

I soon developed chronic anxiety, panic attacks and mild depression. I tried a few natural remedies to ease the feelings and symptoms but it had got so bad that it was affecting my daily life. I gave in and was soon prescribed anti- anxiety medication. 

I had hit my all time low. I had become over weight. I felt defeated. Was I going to be on medication and in pain for the rest of my life? But something inside me just knew this wasn't how it was meant to be, I knew there had to be a better way, a more natural way.  

This is where my successful natural healing journey truly began. I tried countless holistic treatments and methods of healing. Some worked, some worked for the moment and some didn't work at all for me. 

My brother had introduced me to the Medical Medium books and protocols a few years prior, but I hadn't really paid much attention to his information. I decided to dive deep into his books and find as much as I possibly could about endometrosis and mental health. 

I initially just started with the famous Anthony William - Medical Medium, celery juice, as well as his heavy metal detox smoothie every day. I then slowly started to reduce my meat and fat intake, as he recommended. I stopped eating all the "troublemaker" foods and processed food.

 

I had been following the Medical Medium protocols closely for about a year when suddenly I started getting excruciating pain again, in and around my ovulation phase and my menstrual phase. I felt heart broken that the endo was back and the protocols hadn't worked. With dread, I went to the gynie for a check up, but this time, it wasn't endometriosis, this was my body rejecting and expelling the marina contraceptive. I knew my body was telling me something. I needed to get off all contraceptive and medication. My body was healing. 

I had my marina removed that day, a year later, I had managed to wean myself off my anti-anxiety medication and was no longer needing any sort of pain relief or prescribed medication. I am now 5 years fully symptom free from endometriosis. 

There were definitely many factors that played a part in my healing. I chose a holistic approach, I had to take a step back and reset my mindset , I joined a gym and regained my fitness, I went on more hikes and spent more time out in nature, I made decisions based on how it was nurtuing me and my biological systems. During this process I found a deeper connection to myself and the world around me. But the most significant changes I made were to my diet, following the Medical Medium protocols, and making conscious decisions each day to what was going in and on my body. 

Healing from any chronic illness is never going to be linear and it's never going to be easy. You will hit walls, you may have flare ups, you might have days where you just want to give up. There is no one magic pill that is going to fix you, but there is hope. The key to any major life change, is to be consistent but to go at your own pace. To set yourself clear achievable goals and create accountability. 

This is why I have created my 8 weeks 1:1 coaching programmme. I am here to meet you were you are, to help you set your goals, to hold you accountable and to guide and support you through your healing journey.
