Yes, you read that right, I was addicted to laxatives.

 2019 was the year I thought I was dying.

My body went through extreme hormonal dysfunction for about 9 months.

This is how it started.

I was going about my life when one day it become extremely difficult to go to the bathroom, it felt like I was trying to push out a baby and only a pebble came out.

(this is the real tea lol)

Maybe I ate something bad, I thought.

But then, it only got worse.

Day after day, it got more difficult to go to the bathroom.

I went on a drugstore laxative to get through the day.

Before I knew it, I couldn’t go to the bathroom without them.

If you’re thinking, “Wow, that sounds miserable.”

It was.

My stomach was hard and bloated at all times, I had brain fog, and was extremely tired every single day.

Working out was a distant memory because it hurt to even walk.

I paid thousands of dollars on diets, supplements, coaches, and doctor visits trying to get myself healthy- most of them, zero help.

 I didn’t know what was wrong with me or WHEN I would feel better.

This caused even more anxiety, which only made things worse.

 I spent nine months in this shell of myself and it was pure hell.

My business, my mental health, and my relationships suffered terribly. 

So when someone asks, “Do you ever get sick of online coaching?”

That’s an easy “no” from me.

I just remember all the time I spent feeling like a prisoner in my own body.

All the time I spent crying because my clothes didn’t fit right.

If you’re going through something and you KNOW it’s not normal: 

gut issues, fatigue, hair loss, inability to lose weight, low libido, suppressed metabolism- 

You shouldn’t suffer alone.
