Alison – Energy & Wellbeing
Just writing to share my experience and how great seeing Alison has been for me. I have always had immune system problems, had glandulah fever at when I was 15, and since then recurrent chest infections, bronchitis, asthma and last year I had shingles and was diagnosed with rhuematoid arthritis. And I have had issues with candida for about 4 years on and off, and believe all of these things contributed to my falling pregnant. We have a beautiful little girl, 3.5 years old now. I have been on and off antibiotics for years and years. I did fall pregnant naturally, but it look alot longer than it should have.
I had seen a few naturopaths before, and I should have gone to see Alison before I did, but was a bit overwhelmed by what I would have to change with my lifestyle and the cost. I had always been a fairly healthy eater, but had suspicions that I should avoid bread, as my body just does not seem to like it. I first saw Alison in May 2012 and immeadietley felt like she understood my frustration and my need to just not be sick and on antibiotics, and feel healthy. Alison tested me for a few things, and confirmed that I do have leaky gut syndrome, and most likely a yeast intolerance, chronic candida and an immune system balance. I started to feel better almost immeadietley. I cut out bread, pasta, sugar and lost 14 kilos in approximatley 5 months. The weight just fell off and I knew that my body was getting healthier. The supplement Alison has me on have helped me tremendously, and I would not consider stopping them. Otherwise I would just be wasting money at the chemist on vitamins of poor quality which wont actually help anyway.
Really what I have achieved from seeing Alison is knowledge, and knowledge is power. This year has been a year of transformation for me, and I know now that the food choices and lifestyle I lead all lead back to one place, ME! I am the one who suffers if I am not smart and do not look after myself. I have a greater understanding of my immune system, and just how precious it is to do the right things for myself, and this also helps me to help my daughter and husband make the right choices for themselves also. Health is an evolving entity for me…..there are some phases when I am extra tired or run down and I know how to look after myself in these times. My body is very prone to stress and holding stress and I really try to make sure I manage stress by going for a walk or doing yoga or something to let off steam, rather than my body and immune system wearing the brunt of it. I will continue to see Alison for a long time to come.
All I can say to Alison is, THANK YOU! Thanks to you, I now have the knowledge to look after myself properly. I am in control of myself again.
