My health journey before writingBlended

At age 25, my life as I knew it completely changed.

Halfway through the year, my boyfriend and I broke up.

Devastated and lonely, I decided to go out almost every single day and night.

I couldnt stand being alone with my own thoughts and feelings.

I would go to coffee meetings in the morning followed by wine dates at night.

As you’re able to imagine, this took a huge toll on my mental and physical health.

It was during this time I started to feel indigestion all day, every day.

I developed anxiety and brain fog, and I was often doubled over with stomach pain.

Desperate for relief, I went to doctor after doctor and spent thousands of dollars looking for answers.

I was dumbfounded and shocked.

Frustrated and still in pain, I decided to schedule an appointment with a naturopath.

She wanted me to give up gluten, dairy, sugar, and meat.

I then booked an appointment with a nutritionist and another naturopath a friend recommended.

At that point, I felt defeated and like I was running out of options.

I was spiraling and felt ill and depressed every single day.

I started to become anti-social because I felt like none of my friends understood what I was going through.

I booked a week at the facility and thank goodness I did, because it changed my life.

I wanted to continue feeling like thatand to continue learning about health and wellness.

So, a few months later, I packed up my apartment and moved to Venice, California.

And in the process, I became my own best friend.

It was during this time that I started writing my book.

In a large bowl, shave brussels sprouts very thin on a mandolin.

Slice Granny smith apple thin on the mandolin and squeeze half a lemon on top.

Mix well and add to the bowl with the brussels.

Add in jicama matchsticks.

Add a sprinkle of salt and fresh cracked pepper.

Taste and adjust seasonings.

Dress the brussels, apples and jicama with the dressing.
