Migraines: How I Struggled with this HORRIBLE Health Problem

How often do you hear the saying, "...well, as long as I have my health..." OR, "...if you don't have your health, you don't have anything..." 

If you have a health concern that you are struggling with, you'll agree that good health is priceless!  I used to really struggle with severe migraines for years.  They would strike without warning and present themselves as excruciating pain along with what the doctors called "visual aura". The pounding in my head was bad enough to deal with, but the aura was like a bright lightening bolt in front of my eyes and would slowly take over my vision to the point where I was nearly blind.  Even when I closed my eyes it would not go away.  There was no escaping it. Sometimes it would last for 10 minutes, and other times it would last for hours. It was horrifying and really scary. 

A CT scan revealed that there were no apparent underlying causes (which was great news), so the doctor just gave me pain killers to take whenever I got a headache.  BUT, nothing changed.  I continued to get migraines and they affected my entire life. 

It wasn't until I started cleaning up my diet and lifestyle that I noticed I was getting them less and less.  The more I cut out processed foods and junk, and started taking care of myself, the better I felt (imagine that....).  

Now, I NEVER get migraines or headaches anymore.  

You see, back then I didn't make the connection between what I ate and how it affected my body but now I know that there is definitely a direct connection. 

If you are struggling with symptoms such as headaches, bloating, fatigue, insomnia, aches and pains, or weight gain, I urge you to take charge of your body.  Many ailments can be corrected through healthy eating, reducing toxins in your body, and adopting a healthy lifestyle.  I know because I've done it for myself and many of my clients are experiencing improved health too!
What You Can Do 

One small step you can take (but with BIG results), is to reduce your toxic load, eliminate foods that are causing inflammation in your body, and eat whole, delicious foods that NOURISH YOU.

I urge you to make some healthy changes and invest in yourself - you're worth it.  The rewards are limitless, and really, can you afford not to?  Think of all the things you spend your hard earned money on. Which of those things really make a difference in your life? 

Eating healthy can be a rewarding and delicious experience and does not have to mean deprivation.  Tantalize your taste buds with a SNEAK PEEK sample detox snack recipe that I, my clients, friends, and family absolutely LOVE:

Coconut Protein Balls
Makes 4 balls
2 tablespoons coconut oil
3 tablespoons ground hemp seeds
1 tablespoon sunflower seed butter
3 tablespoons coconut milk
1 tablespoon maple syrup
2 tablespoons ground flax seed meal
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut 


Combine all ingredients in a bowl -- EXCLUDING the unsweetened shredded coconut. Line a tray with wax paper. Form the ingredients into little balls. Roll each ball in the unsweetened shredded coconut. Add the balls to the tray, then put into the freezer for 30 minutes to form. Enjoy!
