It all started in 2012 after I competed in a bikini competition
I did this competition for all the wrong reasons. I had low self-worth, a perfectionist personality, a history of disordered eating patterns through my entire teenage years, was obsessive and had extreme body dysmorphia.
Competing only exacerbated these issues. I was able to get to my smallest frame ever (50kg) and I looked ‘healthy’ but on the inside, I was struggling with binge eating, my mental health was a mess, I lost my period, and I started having insane gut issues. After my first show, I binged and put on 8kg in 2 weeks. I looked like a different person from how I looked on stage and it mentally crumbled me. So, I enrolled in another show (which was the dumbest idea ever) I got lean again, but it was harder, it took longer, my gut health was getting worse, I trained 2 x a day, did full-time university, worked 2 jobs and did an internship but I kept pushing.
I was waking up looking 9 months pregnant, I went through bouts of constipation and diarrhea, I had insane stomach cramping, I was exhausted all day every day, could sleep for 10-12 hours then have a 2–3-hour nap later in the day. I was gaining fat at a rapid rate, I was inflamed, exhausted, and mentally wasn’t coping. This continued for 6 years.
I tried on my own to fix the issues for 6 years trying every diet, training method, and supplement going.
I saw numerous doctors, naturopaths, functional medicine doctors, and coaches, and no one could help me or tell me why this was happening. I would have spent 10K easily on trying to get help (as a university student at the time I threw all my money at this). I was dismissed by the conventional system, told I had IBS and to eat low FODMAP. I even started thinking it was all in my head, that I was the only person in the world that must be experiencing this, I felt like no one understood me, and I started to doubt if I would ever get through it.
But I couldn’t have been happier
Finally, I felt like my symptoms were valid, it wasn’t in my head, and I could now focus on getting better.
I focused on healing this for 2 years. This experience taught me the value of looking at lab work from a functional and optimal standpoint. It taught me the importance of nutrients, stress management, setting boundaries in my life, and self-care. I have invested the last 5 years into learning about how I can now help women in the same boat as me. Now, we have helped thousands of women overcome gut, hormonal, and metabolic dysfunction so they can live their lives optimally and freely. They are in control of their body. They have flexibility around foods; they don’t have to worry about their gut anymore.
I want to give you that opportunity. I created MH as a space I wish I could have found when I was at the peak of my health issues. For women to feel safe, have a sense of belonging, and feel confident and resilient on their health journey.
Five weeks into my program and I am already seeing huge changes. All of the education on my blood work, supplements and nutrition has allowed me to make practical and sustainable changes to my health and lifestyle. My program is so practical and the team at MH are an absolute wealth of knowledge. If I’m already feeling the best I’ve felt, I can’t wait to see what the next few months bring. I cannot recommend MH and my coach Lewis enough! To anyone thinking about joining MH – it’s the best possible investment you can make!
They are the first professionals that I’ve seen who look at the whole picture and provide such a comprehensive treatment plan that considers all aspects of health. After years of trying to manage health conditions, I’ve been able to come off my medications and exercise again. Through the program and guidance I have been encouraged, supported, and I feel confident and have gained so much knowledge along the way. I would highly recommend!
