Thrive with me
I"ve decided to use this platform for teaching and daily thoughts. I plan to brain-dump so I apologize in advance for typos and spelling errors.
My original vision for THRIVE was to help people improve their mental health through improved diet, exercise and mental health tools such as EFT tapping, trauma recovery, mindset work, self reclaimation. So I took a certification in integrative nutrition for mental health. But I was somewhat disappointed to see how basic it was.
Back in 2008, I finally took myself off SSRI's and began my own health reclamation. There was no help except for other people on the internet who were also struggling to get off medication and cope with the severe withdrawal effects and rebound symptoms. After 10 years of antidepressant use, I was stable but still very unhappy with my relationships. I knew I was addicted to the meds even though my doctor claimed that was not true. I had to titrate and supplement myself without his help. I don't recommend it.
I'll talk more about that at some point but not today.
I moved towards nutrition and exercise to cope with the withdrawal and the still unmetabolized emotions. That was my second learning. Putting aside everything I thought I knew to pursue a new paradigm. I was a vegetarian for many years before that, but my new gym habit pushed me back into meat consumption and a more body builder type of diet. Small protein-rich meals throughout the day. My weight was up and down, and like most women, I struggled with various degrees of disordered eating habits.
I am now in my third evolution of nutrition. Breaking down my body and everything I thought I knew, building myself back up with the help of Dr. Courtney Hunt, a metabolic specialist, OBGYN and Gyno and online genius.Im doing her Keto and autophagy group. I started as an experiment and I'm finding many important lessons, myth busting and my own fears and limiting beliefs surfacing to be recond with.
I will use this platform for my more personal stories and things I feel unwilling to share on Instagram.
My THRIVE program won't include KETO because I don't feel competent enough to lead it. You should seek that education with a master like Dr Hunt or someone else more expert.
THRIVE will help you prepare for the next step of your journey if that's where it leads you. This is the path to better, all-round health and wellbeing. You can't work on your mental health while your physical health is a mess.
I will help you build better habits, learn nutrition, learn to substitute herbs and food for common health issues like sleep, digestion, mood, and performance, support your mental health and quest for self-sovereignty. I can help you understand they why's, gain some insight, put your SAD standard american diet in the garbage where it belongs and start to add healthy habits that will make you feel more ready to tackle the larger problems in your life.
Come Thrive with me.
