Chronic Fatigue Won’t Stop Me – My Fatigue and Wellness Story
Table of Contents
I wouldn’t accept this was going to be my life…
As part of my health journey to reduce chronic fatigue, and most importantly fight an incurable form of cancer, which I must live with.
I have personally tried, tested, and researched a large number of products and programs.
I’ve gone down many rabbit holes of research to find a solution to my symptoms.
Chronic Fatigue Won’t Stop Me.
Here’s my story…
I worked too much, pushed my body, was always under constant stress, and ate too much sugar. I just couldn’t break the cycle of fatigue that I was experiencing.
I was struggling!
I always felt my energy and blood sugar levels crash…Along with the emotional storm that I was experiencing.
Happy, Sad, Angry, and Anxious, I thought I was going through early menopause.
I exercised every morning… Jogging, pushups, squats, etc. I ate healthy low-fat meals throughout the day…chicken, broccoli, rice, etc. But,
I was so exhausted… I ached all the time… I was always hungry. But no matter what I did the scales never changed…if anything they just kept climbing.
After having my second child, I had the challenge of returning to my pre-baby weight, fitness, and energy levels.
As I moved into my 40s I noticed that it became harder and harder to lose the unwanted weight that I had gained.
Plus, my energy levels were so low that I was heavily relying on fast sugar, energy drinks, and coffee…
I always had a bag of lollies and was living off energy drinks. I knew this was unhealthy, but
I just couldn’t break the cycle of fatigue that I was experiencing.
Being in the health and wellness industry for over 15 years, I thought I knew what to do to regain my health and energy.
But…
Whatever I did, just didn’t work.
I tried to ignore the pain, fatigue, and sugar cravings I was having…and just push through, thinking it would come right soon.
But to be honest, I felt like a prisoner in my own body. As a 44-year-old mother of 2 children, it felt as though I was going to be trapped inside my exhausted, aching, failing body forever.
I’ve never felt so helpless.
This next part still brings tears to my eyes.
The exhaustion became so bad; one day I was standing at the bottom of my stairs leading up to the send floor and I was just standing there helpless with no conceivable way to climb them…
they seemed as big as Mt Everest.
My body felt as though I had already run several marathons and those stairs were the last straw…I physically couldn’t get up them.
This was so heartbreaking and debilitating because all I wanted to do was have fun running around after my young children,
plus be the mother they deserved not this tired, crazy emotional lunatic they had.
As a previous athlete, I’ve always been able to push through, I was always so proud to have a high degree of energy, drive, and stamina both physically and mentally.
This was probably the most devastating…I just couldn’t push through anymore.
I knew something was wrong….
I remember that day like it was yesterday. Sitting in my doctor’s office she said the three words that changed my life forever…
“You Have Cancer”
My world had been turned upside down…all I could think about was my family and not being there for my young children as they grow up.
To be honest I don’t recall a lot for the next few months I think I was going through all the emotions, Grief, Anger, Denial, and some more Grief, Anger, and Denial.
My Dr said that my exhaustion, aching, and failing body were all part of my cancer and there wasn’t anything I could do and I will just have to manage it….
It still brings tears to me when I remember saying those 5 heartbreaking words.
“I can’t LIVE Like This”
Fortunately, after I said them… what my partner said to me next saved my life….
“Your Job is to fight to see your children grow up”
These words hit me like a brick and forced me to go on a journey that has changed my life forever. The journey was so powerful that it would completely transform my fatigued, balance my hormones, and overweight body, and regain my power to fight.
After years of failing to lose weight and struggling with chronic fatigue, in just months I had improved my energy levels, balanced out my emotions and lost weight, and found a belief that I was able to fight my cancer…
I got my abs back and at 44 years old and 2 children later.
Amazing because I wasn’t even trying.
My journey of discovery and research took me down many deep rabbit holes, multiple health textbooks, and on the internet.
Mr. Google, where I found many related topics to do with cancer survival but also how my symptoms of fatigue and weight gain are so often related to disease and more worryingly the development of many diseases.
I listen to hundreds of hours of YouTube and podcast shows about other people and how they had healed themselves.
Researching medical reports and articles.
Taking on hundreds of hours of study and courses.
This all led me to what I know now….
There had to be an answer
Chronic Fatigue Won’t Stop Me
I couldn’t believe what I had come across. There were medical reports that supported what I had found, personal testimonials of other men and women who had changed their lives, and yet not many doctors knew this.
Before I had my children, I was in the Health and Fitness Industry for over 15 years as a personal trainer and nutritional specialist.
I was shocked!
This information went against all my years of study and everything the health and fitness industry had been telling me.
What I had discovered was controversial….
Because of my cancer diagnosis, I have regular 3 monthly appointments with my hematologist. I spoke with him about this discovery, but I thought he had not heard of it for pre or post-treatment support.
I supplied the supportive research and he was very encouraging and supportive that I investigate and give it a try…
“let’s see how your blood responds and we can keep a close eye on your health and if things deteriorate we can quickly stop”.
So I did.
Going from feeling trapped inside my exhausted, aching, failing body,
Too… Relieving me of the extreme exhaustion, stress, anxiety, and depression that were ruining my life.
To restore my energy, my hope, my hormones, and my zest for life that I thought would never return.
My Doctor Was Shocked
Leaving my doctor speechless and encouraged with both my blood report improvements and my well-being improving month after month. At 44 years old, I eliminated 26 pounds of confidence-stealing, energy-sucking body fat, debilitating life-ending fatigue, and gained the confidence and power to fight my cancer diagnosis.
…and finally got to imagine my “future” with my young family while reversing all signs of bloating, painful periods, sugar cravings, and the emotional roller coaster I was previously on.
My obsession continued… For the next few years, I completely immersed myself in more studying programs, research material, and multiple courses to find out more.
I found many other shocking discoveries;
The fitness industry has been lying to us.
The message ‘Eat Less, Exercise More’ is false and designed for you to fail.
I discovered you don’t have to put up with feeling unhappy about your weight, feeling tired all the time, or being on an emotional Roll A Coaster ride when you are pre or menopausal.
I discovered that if you are suffering from a chronic disease or fatigue you can fight and regain your health naturally.
It’s time to free yourself from the trapped prison of crazy hormones, low energy, chronic illness, and belly fat forever.
My mission is to empower you to support your journey improve your health, increase your energy and feel mentally focused, while enjoy delicious, mouth-watering meals.
Skeptical?
You should be.

None of this is your fault.

I even use to teach it myself when I was a personal trainer. And many of our Doctors don’t even know about this treatment tool.
Our choice of food matters, let’s empower our health and healing ability.

or,
frustrated with the current health system saying…
