I’ve experienced life in my best health and I’ve also struggled through years of healing an  extremely tenacious antibiotic resistant bacteria that no one understands. I jumped into my Ayurvedic studies when I was absolutely thriving. I hear most people’s journey into holistic health after struggling with their own health, but I was the opposite. I had been doing energy work for 15 years, been vegan for two years which my body seemed to love, I was digesting better than I ever had, and my bloodwork was spot on. I felt the best I ever had. Then just like that I got taken down by a severe urinary tract infection. I tried to heal it homeopathically, but I was treating E coli, the most common cause, and later learned that’s not what I had. As my fever got worse, and the burning consumed me, I became increasingly concerned about kidney failure and I succumbed to antibiotics. The antibiotic took my symptoms away for the moment. One week later,  it all returned and the only thing my doctor could offer was a stronger antibiotic. I read all the side effects and decided there had to be a better way. The thing about holistic healing is that you can’t take a pill and have your symptoms subside in a few days. This journey takes time. Not only did I have to eliminate this bacteria from my body, but I also had to heal my gut, which was stripped of healthy bacteria after the antibiotic. For 6 months, I could only digest lentils, steamed vegetables and yams. Every time I ate, I had anxiety and out what it would do to my body. One wrong move and I suffered for weeks. As I delved deeper and deeper into the root of my physical issues, layer of stored emotions began to surface. The level of attention I’ve paid to my body, out of sheer necessity over the past few years, has deepened my understanding of what it takes to heal root causes, and of how intertwined my emotional and mental health was to my physical symptoms. I already knew what I wanted to know Ayurveda before this. But my ability to empathize has shaped how I direct people to bring themselves back into balance. Western medicine has normalized digestive issues. Ayurveda will never do that. Gas, bloating, constipation is not normal. They are common, yes, and this is a problem. But these cues are the language our body uses, to warn you when something isn’t right. They are the root. Listen to your body. The more you tune in, the softer it can speak.
