10 Lessons from My 10-Year Anniversary of My IBS Diagnosis

Healing My Bloating and Constipation

Ten years ago, in the spring of 2015, my journey with IBS began with a wave of unexplained insomnia.

Little did I know, this was the start of a major health challenge that would transform my life entirely. This moment of perceived wellness fading into long-term sickness taught me how quickly life could change.

While the insomnia was frustrating, it was only the beginning of my journey into deeper understanding and healing, which I’m excited to share with you.

Healing Comes from Unexpected Places

Throughout my journey, I found healing in the most unexpected places. In 2016, I began pelvic floor therapy, which led me to therapies like visceral manipulation and craniosacral therapy.

A short while later, a trip to the chiropractor for knee pain unexpectedly improved my constipation.

These experiences taught me that healing remedies could appear when and where you least expect them.

These discoveries lead to my focus on naturally healing my bloating and constipation!

Symptoms Are Not The Enemy

One of my key revelations was that symptoms are communicators, NOT the enemy.

My experiences with IBS symptoms and treatments highlighted that there's no singular cause or treatment for issues like constipation or bloating.

Recognizing symptoms as guides rather than threats allowed me to approach my health challenges more calmly and effectively.

Letting Go of Perfection in Health

Over the years, it's become clear that striving for perfect health isn't realistic or necessary for improvement.

The goal is consistent improvement, not perfection🌟

Even as a functional medicine practitioner, I've grappled with health challenges ranging from miscarriages to mold exposure. It's important to highlight that wellness isn't about flawless execution BUT about understanding and embracing your unique journey.

Embracing the Unexpected Narratives of Healing

Throughout these 10 years, I've realized that the best healing practices might come from unconventional sources— therapies no one talks about or personal intuition guiding you.

My health transformation didn’t follow a prescribed path, and yours doesn’t have to either. Listen to your body, try new things, and stay curious. Your unique story is what makes your journey impactful.

If you’re tired of endless solutions that don’t work, perhaps it’s time to take on a new direction. Take a breath, reflect, and let your intuition guide you to the next step in your healing journey.

Here's hoping for your transformation, just as mine has transpired over the past decade🎉

Here’s to your thriving wellness journey,
