This simply warms my heart.

During Covid days, I got slack for telling people to eat properly and to take certain supplements to help boost the immune system.

Today, more and more resounding research is showing us just how vital nutrition and the understanding of nutritional biochemistry is to our overall health.

The USA has a real problem in that 94 percent of its population is metabolically unfit. And FINALLY, the government is getting involved to address the ROOT CAUSES of chronic disease. One of which is the huge lack of and minimal understanding of how to use the nutritional sciences as a means to improve health and to prevent disease.

Now I ask you. What is being done about this in Cyprus?

We educate our kids in schools about nutrition, but right outside the classroom is the ability to buy junk.

Buying one bag of vegetables can cost up to 60 euros.

Our society believes that simply going on a statin or taking some glucophage can fix their metabolic insufficiency.

Where is the education to the public?

Where are initiatives put forth by the government to help Cypriots be healthier and more productive?

Where is the support for people suffering from chronic issues? And I’m not even talking about cancer or diabetes, but people who have gut issues (my professional experience tells me it is everyone).

In my humble opinion, doctors and nutritionists alike in Cyprus, need to understand the integral part nutrition plays in our health. Doctors need to hire a nutritionist into their practice and work as a team instead of just recommending random nutritionists here and there. The nutritionist needs to be part of the patient’s story instead of just writing a diet and weighing them every two weeks.

And dietitians and nutritionists need to understand how important their education is to truly helping the public to get healthier. They are the ones better equipped to understand how nutrition can heal.

I’m not sure how things will change in Cyprus. Hopefully, we find ways to improve our health sooner rather than later and before it’s too late.

Endometriosis is not just about scar tissue. It’s about addressing the root causes that can cause debilitating symptoms in many patients.

By looking at intestinal and liver health, hormonal imbalances, methylation or detox pathways, and immune system response, many symptoms of endometriosis can be alleviated.

Through lifestyle choices, diet, targeted supplementation and specific detox protocols, many women can find pain relief.

Listen to the story of this lovely young lady and how she took her health back into her hands to find relief from her debilitating pain.

I may look like I have it all together, but…

I’m a patient too.

I’ve looked for answers to my chronic fatigue, brain fog, constipation, bloating, anxiety, depression, and weight loss resistance as a Hashimotos patient.

And when I finally got to a point of conquering those symptoms, perimenopause came knocking at my door causing declining memory, erratic mood swings, and more weight loss resistance.

What I have found works as a patient is to stop labelling what we have and using it as a crutch.

“Oh, I have a thyroid problem, so I am meant to be fat.”

“Oh I’m in perimenopause so it’s normal that I can’t sleep”

The thing is, whatever the label, our body is always telling us when something is off and finding solutions is an ongoing process which can drive our fight or flight symptoms further.

What I have found in my health journey is that there will be good days and there will be not so good days. On these not so good days, having compassion for myself and using tools I have learned along the way to heal have been pivotal to my healing journey.

And remembering…

I am not my disease. I am a human being whose mind, body, and spirit needed some calibrating along the way.

Things that have helped me lately?

Weight training
Prioritizing sleep
Prioritizing protein
Supporting detox pathways with supplements like DIM and sulphorophane and methylated b vitamins as well as liposomal glutathione

Bioidentical progesterone cream prescribed by a holistic obgyn

A healthy, supportive, and loving relationship

I am sleeping better now and have finally lost some weight. My hair has also gotten healthier and my skin is looking more vibrant.

Don’t be fooled, like I said, some days are harder than others. But the real flex is knowing that no matter what, you love yourself enough to make each day a little better.

What things have helped all of you with your health journey? I’d love to hear in the comments.

Am I a trouble maker?

Perhaps.

But that’s only because I care about people and their well being.

As a patient myself, having Hashimotos and now going through the throws of perimenopause, I can understand the frustration about finding relief to symptoms.

So, I keep pushing boundaries here in Cyprus so that all of us can have the care we deserve when it comes to addressing all that is involved in a chronic condition.

This is my call to all health professionals to finally up their game so we can create an epidemic of health.

Give incentives for organic farming

Sponsor gyms and nutritionists alike to offer discounted or even free programs to our community.

Work TOGETHER instead of trying to show who is better than the other for the better of the community.

Don’t know the answer to a difficult case? Don’t refer people to psychiatrists. Do better at researching and finding answers!

Am I a trouble maker?

You better believe it. People are suffering and it is about time we pull together to be better and do exactly what our professions are called to do…be of service!!!!

All it takes is for someone to take the time out of their day to say a kind word or simply give you a hug.

The research is out there. Guard your emotional health and form HEALTHY relationships with people who love you for you.

Healthy relationships are one of the biggest contributing factors to health and longevity.

Unhealthy relationships literally can kill you.

Therefore, look for like-minded people who understand that loving someone takes commitment, dedication, good communication skills, and possesses an understanding that no one is perfect and that good relationships take work to achieve.
