Hello There, I’m Andrea

In 2016 I developed an autoimmune condition and changed the way I ate because I thought that’s what I was “supposed” to do.

I went Paleo, then Keto, cut out so many carbs, added fat to my coffee and intermittent fasted all while working out twice a day, 5 days a week. Instead of getting stronger and leaner, I was rapidly putting on weight and getting weaker.

My fatigue and brain fog were so bad, that I was on the couch by 2pm every day.

But I stuck with it because that’s what all the influencers and coaches were saying that I had to do. I just got more sick, more fatigued, and gained so much weight that I was embarrassed to leave the house. 

Eventually I realized this wasn’t working and this isn’t how I wanted to live the rest of my life. I didn’t want to have to cut out french fries and not enjoy fruit ever again.  I knew that I felt better when I ate grains, legumes, and mostly plants. So I leaned into that and decided to trust myself again instead of what some influencer was saying. 

Immediately I had energy again. My brain fog was gone, and I was having restful sleep for the first time in years. I also had the desire and energy to be able to start working out regularly again.

I felt happy for the first time in a long time. I actually wanted to leave the house and I was able to crawl out of my depression cycle.

I finally feel like I’m back to living the life that I want and it feels radiant.
