Hi there! As a pharmacist for 25+ years, I appreciate medications deeply. They save lives! This was all I knew and trusted for a long time. However, after having gone through two autoimmune conditions, I knew wellness involved more than treatment protocols.
While traditional medicine excels in acute treatments, for chronic illnesses, however, I feel drugs are being overused, with a band-aid approach of “a pill (or many pills) for an ill”. That’s why I love SHAPE ReClaimed! It focuses on real food and health foundations. Once we reduce inflammation, balance the immune system, support cleanse and detoxification, the end result is, less pain, more energy and shedding excess weight. I support my clients through 3 pillars: MAXIMIZE, MINIMIZE AND PRIORITIZE. Maximize what the body needs to thrive (vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, protein, healthy fat…). Minimize what is harmful to the body (toxins, infections, stress…). And Prioritize the environment for healing (Sleep, rest, stress reduction, laughter…). From someone who is in remission of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and fibromyalgia for over 8 years, I believe our body is extremely amazing; we give the body the nutrition and the tools it needs, and it will heal itself.
