My Natural Health Journey

I was first introduced to natural modalities in 2014. I fell in love with the concept and since I had drastic, miraculous results, I wanted to know more. In 2015, I was introduced to muscle testing. It was a simple finger test to be used to determine what supplement and how much to use. I didn’t understand how it worked, but I knew it did.

Learning from my peers, I knew there were answers to my many health problems beyond my Western medicine training, so I began the quest to find out what I needed in order to heal.

I had chronic back pain since my teenage years, but it continued to worsen to all day long stiffness and pain. I had hormone/PMS problems since my teenage years consisting of heavy, irregular periods. I had developed heart palpitations, dry skin, nausea, bloating, reflux, frequent headaches, poor libido, dry eyes, night sweats, fatigue, and brain fog just to name a few.

My mind wasn’t as sharp as it once had been. I had lost creativity because I couldn’t stay focused to get into a deep-thinking pattern. My mind would wander constantly like daydreaming. Anxiety, which I had never had, developed, and I would become overwhelmed very easily. My emotions became unstable. My eye disease was becoming active every year or more causing blindness. At 39, I was spiraling downhill fast. If I had sought out medical opinions, I would have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and likely Hashimoto’s.

But I had learned enough from listening to my friends that diet was a large part of most health concerns.

In 2014, I began my own journey of discovery through self-education and trial and error. 

I did what the books said to heal the gut. I spent a thousand dollars at a functional medicine doctor on testing to basically prove what I already knew, but I really didn’t know if the regimen I was doing was effective at all.

In 2018, I had my first introduction to Applied Kinesiology in Knoxville, Tennessee. I knew right away there was something miraculous about the ability to communicate with the body through muscles. With the specific nutritional regimen, I had even more symptom relief.

That’s when I enrolled in school. I was so excited to learn more about the specialty and couldn’t wait to share with everyone I knew or even didn’t know. So much hope was given to me, and I wanted to share that hope.

With muscle testing, I am always ready to deal with anything that pops up regarding my health and body.
