I’ve been on a gradual journey of discovery that’s had me about people who have mastered self healing through foods and alternative therapies. Having traveled to 27 odd countries and experienced these various cultures of food, rituals, and traditions, I started to realised the west dont have it as right as we think. I read and heard stories of so many that had overcome awful illnesses or ailments or corrected an imbalance with just one food group, herb or habitual practice. These traditional practices in some cultures have been around for thousands of years yet they are frowned upon and squashed by modern medicine.
I’ve always been fairly well and never needed to pop pills and be on medication but being sent home from hospital after a few knee ops with a load of meds was quite a shock for me. Especially when you had to take one or two to counteract the others. How many meds are people on for life that they have to do this. I started to realise that not one size fits all when it comes to our daily intake of food types. That we’d lost the mere basics to living well, healthy and long, tarnished by the processed rich foods and instant but not long term fix big pharma. That the imbalances caused by our modern stressful life, our toxic foods/water and lack of self care are becoming detrimental to the health of most people we know. These small influences, triggers or nudges, intrigued me to know more. I believe our planet holds all the keys we need. We are from the earth to which it provides all our nourishment, our essence of survival, so why is it so absurd to think that this too provides our health and healing,
This led me to doing a few online courses to find out more which drew me to AHN that captured the essence of what I was passionate about. Using food for medicine and serving our earth as it has served us.
