TW: disordered eating, body image, weight, dieting
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I spent most of my high school years at war with my body.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I struggled with disordered eating habits and excessive over-exercising that started in my sophomore year of high school.
I cruised at a very low calorie intake and spent 2-4 hours exercising most days because I was terrified of “gaining weight” and truthfully because I had no idea how my body worked
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I constantly googled weight loss tips, took fat burners, skipped meals, and spent a LOT of days crying from exhaustion
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And of course all of this came with MAJOR hormone problems including rough periods, cramps, heavy flow, loooong cycles, hair loss, brain fog, inconsistent weight gain/ loss, bloating, yeast infections, and fatigue.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I missed events, canceled plans, and skipped vacations because I was so fatigued.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I honestly didn’t know it could be better than that. I thought this was normal and just dealt with it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My senior year of high school, I went on HBC because I was sexually active and was going off to college and wanted to have my HBC figured out before I left. But very shortly after getting on, I knew it wasn’t a good fit for me and quit cold turkey a few months later.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And that was the turning point that ended up kick starting my health journey.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I broke out in acne and a rash all over my face and neck that was very red and incredibly painful. My hair fell out in clumps. I was constantly bloated and swollen. I just felt SO uncomfortable in my body. The fatigue kept me in bed half of the day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My doctors told me everything was fine, this was normal adult acne, fatigue was normal – that there was nothing wrong with me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I got into the mindset of quick fixes because I wasn’t mentally ready to “change my ways.” So I tried every “30 day healing diet” on the market – none of which worked and none of which stuck. They weren’t sustainable so I spent a long time yo-yo dieting between candida cleanses, paleo, keto, and whatever else.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was terrified of committing weeks or months to an actual protocol in case it didn’t work, so instead I spent over a year wasting my time with quick fix diets.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Finally, I knew that something had to give. I reached a point where I just knew that shit had to change and I was sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I dove into actually learning the body – understanding nutritional needs, the role of exercise, the gut, hormones – anything and everything that I could get my hands on. I became wildly passionate about understanding my body rather than being at war with it. Once I started implementing the tools I was learning everything changed…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My skin cleared up
My hair grew back longer and thicker than ever
The bloating and swelling went down
My period got normal and SYMPTOMLESS
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And while I didn’t initially pursue my education in holistic health to coach other women, I realized that I am so not alone in my struggles with hormone health.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve never taught my clients from a place of “well this works for me so it’ll work for you” because I believe that every body is so different – so I use ALL of my training and knowledge with clients, not just the shit that worked for me…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And my clients saw life-changing improvements.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fast forward to now, I’ve been lucky enough to get to support SO many womxn in healing their hormones and gut health.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Remember that when I say that I know how you feel… I absolutely mean it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But I also know how fucking good it feels on the other side of it all and I believe that you can get there.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PB is the #1 program for womxn’s hormone health program and it is the program I WISH I had had back then.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve seen these women learn how to eliminate pain and live in alignment with their bodies naturally in like 1/10th of the time that it took me because I’ve compiled every little detail and necessary tool to make shit happen.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Message me PB on Instagram to learn when the next enrollment opens.
