Silently i dealt with my mental health and gut health trying every supplement under the sun from age of 20. BUT My bloods were always normal..the doctors never helped me navigate anything. I was alone. Very unwell and unseen.
Life was chronically stressful all my life caring for my mum who had undiagnosed dementia & depression since age 45, then my dad died suddenly of brain haemorrhage age 62. I could barely digest in evening or sleepwell by age 33. I later “stopped” sleeping altogether after i had my last child age 36 and i felt like i was dying. I was im pain all over. I had no energy. I had PMDD. The lack of sleep meant morning anxiety skyrocketed. My periods stopped. My body collapsed into fibromyalgia CFS illness by age 38.
I was down rabbit holes for insomnia & dysbiosis like “mast cell activation syndrome” My bloods at doctor were always CLEAR no one told me histamine is a neurotransmitter that keeps you awake all night! Years of research & testing i figured it out at last. I tested positive for SIBO in gut and Mould toxins in my liver. These never showed up on medical bloods, gastroscopy or colonoscopys! If your body isnt digesting well for years you can end up very ill with fibromyalgia, adrenal fatigue, as your body hasnt got the raw materials to function optimally, your liver cant detox and you accumulate toxins which zaps your entire energy.
In 2020 i changed my life, i put my mum in care, i started a long slow healing journey.I worked on getting my getting my stomach acid to return, my bile to flow, did lots of liver detox, worked on my mineral deficiencies, supported my thyroid and adrenals, and my health started to turn around! I realised a whole body approach was needed not just a focus on food & the gut! Now its 2025 and I am 45 am remethylating my system to get my homocysteine up to get my health optimised for my family. My energy and zest for life, housework & gardening has returned and im so grateful.
I started Go With Your Gut Clinic 6 years ago to teach you how to heal your body & avoid going tru what i went tru!
