My food story.
Your lived experiences shape the paths you go down. I had eczema from birth, along with many allergies. Pets, citrus fruits, pollen. Then, as a teenager, I had the very bad luck of getting cyanide poisoning from an old almond in a cake - which completely messed up my gut. And then I came very close to burnout from work and life, which nearly shut down my body.
I started experiencing more and more food sensitivities, along with rashy, spotty and itchy skin. This puzzled all the dermatologists I asked for help, who gave me steroid and anti-fungal creams. Nothing helped.
I really wanted to understand what was happening. I suspected that what I was seeing on the outside, was coming from the inside.
I did a lot of reading and worked with a very knowledgeable Nutritional Therapist. And my skin changed from angry to happy in 4 months. I also felt like a completely new person - I had energy, I could focus and I could think clearly. This surprised and excited me so much that I decided to completely change my work path - to help others with their skin struggles and to prevent burnout.
Following a 3-year diploma at the renowned Institute for Optimum Nutrition (ION) in London UK, where I gained a Distinction, I launched Outside Inside Nutrition.
I now help others find solutions to their skin struggles - that work in real life. I use the latest nutrition, lifestyle and mindset research as the building blocks for my advice. If you would like to book a free 15 minute discovery call, to find out more about how I work and how I can help you go to Save your skin.
I also work with organisations, to help them move from simmering burnout that is quietly eroding performance and retention - to an energised, resilient team that delivers consistently and feels recharged, strong and focussed. To find out more about this, go to Recharge your organisation.
