S01 E07 – Our Journey from Sick & Suffering to Thriving & Teaching

In this episode, we delve into our personal stories and experiences, discussing the challenges we faced with skin issues due to unhealthy lifestyles and diets. We also explore the transformative effects that simple lifestyle adjustments and dietary choices can have on achieving clear skin and improving our well-being. We have transformed our lives and acquired knowledge that we now aim to share with anyone struggling with skin and diet problems.

In this week’s episode, we discuss…

• The health issues we dealt with from childhood through to adulthood (like acne and diagnosis of Autoimmune Diseases).
• How we regained control over our health and bodies through nutrition and lifestyle habits.
• The big connection between diet and acne – and the unhealthy eating habits we grew up with.
• The struggle of taking birth control for years and the impact it had on our bodies.
• The underlying viral infections we’re both dealing with now (after years of being told everything’s normal for years).
• The importance of investing in self worth and how taking control of your health is life changing.
• Some fun to get to know us Q & A.

When you know better, you do better. Understanding the impact of my diet and lifestyle on my health was a game-changer. It’s never too late to take control of your well-being.
