I had my first panic attack at 25. It woke me up out of my sleep. I had no idea what was happening and thought I was dying. Overnight, I went from being a fun loving, living my best life, hustling to 'make it' in my career, type of girl, to someone whose entire existence revolved around attempting to avoid having a panic attack.
Spoiler alert: I did not avoid my panic attacks.
I spent ten years lost in the dark whole of anxiety. It completely took over every aspect of my life. I even taught myself to have silent panic attacks at my desk because they were happening so often and I refused to lose my job. My sole focus in life was 'how can I avoid a panic/anxiety attack?' It took over everything.
After trying various different medications, many types of therapy and anything else I would hear worked for someone else, I 'accepted' anxiety was just part of who I was and struggled through life wondering why everyone else was so 'normal' and I was so broken..
A decade later, I randomly did a 5-day meal plan in a book about hormones. Unexpectedly, my anxiety levels dropped. I couldn't believe it and immediately set about to research why that could have happened. I began to realise that mind and body are not quite as separate as I had believed.
After some research I signed up to Functional Diagnostic Nutrition and ran labs on myself. The results showed me that anxiety was my body was crying out. I put together a healing protocol and within 3 months my anxiety had all but disappeared. Within the year, it was completely gone. That was four years ago.
Now I help other people heal their body to heal their anxiety because if I can suffer the way I did and heal, so can you.
With the help of FDN I learned how to run and read lab work that helped me learn where my body was struggling so I could help it. Within this lab work I learned...
> My hormones were struggling
> My gut was a mess with pathogens and unwanted
> I wasn't able to detox properly meaning toxins were recirculating around my body
> My blood sugar was all over the place
> I was eating foods my body was reacting to (I had zero symptoms of this)
It's possible for you to heal yourself in this way too.
