Today, I want to take you on a journey—a journey that begins with frustration, fatigue, despair, and ultimately, incredible transformation. This is my personal health journey, and I’m sharing it with you in the hopes that it will inspire you, ignite your spirit, and empower you to embark on your own path to wellness. So, grab a cup of tea, cozy up, and let’s dive in.

About twelve years ago, after trauma had impacted our family, I was desperate for change but just didn’t know where to start. I was tired all the time. I had low energy, was depressed, and had no direction. I felt stuck in every area of my life. I had already been diagnosed with two autoimmunity diseases, a third to come later, and I also later found out that I have Epstein-Barr virus. I was in survival mode – barely hanging on by a thread. The thought of meal planning, healthy eating, and taking care of myself felt so overwhelming. I would try a new fad diet every once in a while, striving to be thin and wanting to get healthy – just to fail again and again. I was a busy working mom just trying to make it through each day. Every extreme diet meant not just feeling like a failure but also putting me one step further away from true health, unknowingly messing up my metabolic system every time.

About three years into my journey, I was introduced to essential oils and I slowly began removing toxins from my home over time. I learned about endocrine disrupters and how toxins were negatively impacting my family’s health – for once, I finally had hope that change was on the horizon. Removing toxic products such as household cleaners, beauty and make-up products, fragrances, and candles made a huge impact on my and my family’s emotional well-being and it was the first time in several years that I was able to think clearly and didn’t feel as weighed down by emotional distress. I was starting to feel better and a lot did change for the better – but I still had so much further to go to find all of the keys to long-term health and healing.

As the years went on, my frustration increased. I was feeling better but still not feeling good. Comparison and jealousy often gripped me as I witnessed others experiencing seemingly effortless growth, health, and healing. It felt like I was stuck in a never-ending cycle of two steps forward and three steps back. Exhausted and frustrated, many times I contemplated giving up altogether. Why bother trying so hard when it seemed like nothing I did was making much of an impact anyway? But deep down, I knew that reverting to my old ways would only lead to further deterioration in my mental and physical health. So, I pressed on, relying mostly on faith the size of a mustard seed.

I had been struggling for so long, feeling alone and discouraged, as if all of my efforts were in vain. Every attempt to feel better seemed temporary or futile. I experienced countless seasons of discouragement and found myself questioning whether God truly cared about me or my health. But the breakthrough that marked significant transformation in my health and well-being was just a couple of years ago when I finally gave up trying to control everything in my life, including my health, and allowed the Holy Spirit to guide me.

During this journey, I realized that I had been treating my health and faith as separate entities. But over time, I discovered a profound connection between the two. I began praying and building a relationship with God, surrendering my health and healing to Him. I recognized that I was carrying burdens that weren’t mine to bear and that true healing required me to give myself a lot of grace, nourish my mind, body, and soul, learn to really rest, and learn how to truly forgive….forgive others, myself, and even forgive God….even though it wasn’t His fault at all, but I had blamed Him for so much. (after forgiving Him, I also repented for blaming him.)

Instead of resorting to crash diets and rigorous exercise programs, I embraced a different approach—one guided by the Holy Spirit. I listened to His gentle nudges, learning which foods nourished my body and which ones didn’t. I let go of force, shame, blame, and coercion, realizing that they caused more harm than good. The transformation came when I changed my mindset from a victim mentality to a victor mentality, aligning my thoughts with the power, love, and sound mind that God had given me.

As my relationship with God deepened, He began transforming not only my thoughts but also my perspective on health and healing. I understood that His desire for me was not just to be thin, but complete and genuine healing from the inside out. To facilitate this inner healing, I embarked on a journey with the Holy Spirit, investing time and effort into restoring my soul. It was a process that required endurance and a LOT of patience, as inner healing can be frustratingly slow and exhausting. God has the ability to heal us instantly, but I have learned so much going through the process – painstakingly slowly but it was also refining and there was so much growth and character strengthening, too. So, as I went through the refining and healing process, I made rest a priority, nurturing my body through not just the food I consumed but also the information I consumed—choosing uplifting books, music, and media that supported my well-being, meditating, removing things from my life that caused unnecessary stress, and I learned how to set boundaries… boundaries for myself and for others – communicating with others what I was not okay with.

Through this journey, I discovered that true wellness is a fusion of faith and health. It’s about finding balance and harmony in body, mind, and spirit. It’s about recognizing that our bodies are the temple that the Holy Spirit resides in, and nurturing them requires a holistic approach. It’s about trusting in God’s divine guidance and surrendering our burdens to Him. And most importantly, it’s about embracing a mindset of healing, love, and grace.

As I share my story with you, I hope it serves as a reminder that your health journey is unique and sacred. It may not be easy, and there will be obstacles along the way, but remember that you are not alone. Lean into your faith, nurture your body, and trust the process. Allow the Holy Spirit to guide you, and you’ll be amazed at the transformative power that lies within.
