Hi, Melinda here: the health & wellness enthusiast behind this blog. I am so happy you are here!
I deeply love everything holistic, smoothies and the sunshine!
My health journey began about 12 years ago when I started to dive deeper into the reasons I was a stressed out, sick and tired mom with sick kids. The round after round of antibiotics, allergy meds and shots, had me exhausted and frustrated.
Thankfully, I had a friend who cared. She introduced me to the concept of food as medicine, homeopathy, living a cleaner lifestyle and essential oils.
Literally, from one day to another, I went from ‘eating everything’ to gluten-free, sugar-free, dairy free. That’s right – no more cheese, and dairy products (oh, my butter!), no more nightly ice-cream bowls, no more weekly Sonic runs, no more foods that contained refined carbs (bye-bye delicious bread and pasta!) and no more M&M stashes or Twizzlers.
After seeing fairly rapid results with my kids (kicked those allergy shots and antibiotics fairly quickly), I tried various dietary approaches for myself: Paleo, Keto, Vegetarian, Whole 30… I have come to conclusion there is no one right diet for all, and as everyone is different, we must treat each and every person very individually and take into consideration ‘what’s one person’s food, might be another person’s poison!’
I became obsessed with nutrition, all things clean living and then in 2023 I received my Health Coach Certification from IIN – Institute for Integrative Nutrition.
My approach to health and wellness is holistic, which means that I look at how all areas of a person’s life are connected. It’s not just the food we eat, but all of the factors present in our daily lives. Healthy relationships (starting with yourself), regular physical activity, fulfilling career and spiritual awareness are all essential forms of nourishment.
I love to dig deeper into various topics – brain health, epigenetics, dirty genes, neuroscience, muscle balancing and biohacking.
I truly see greatness in learning how to help people reprogram their brain, heal their illnesses and live more fulfilled lives.
My goal is to inspire and empower you, to provide you with the tools, insights and information you need on your journey to become the best version of yourself!
If FOOD IS INFORMATION, then when you eat foods that are beneficial to your body, you are more likely to become a balanced and calm person, with decisions that serve you well. As decisions are formed in the brain, the brain needs to get the best nutrition possible to be able to function on a level we are happy with, and often gladly challenged by.
I believe that your diet determines 85% of your health and wellbeing.
I believe that everybody can only benefit if they up-level their nutrition and decrease their stress.
I also believe in returning to eating As Nature Intended
I am constantly learning and growing, and this website is documentation of my continuous personal
development at all possible levels and sharing my experience and views.
Welcome to my little piece of the internet and enjoy the ride!
Keep shining!
