I not only talk the talk, I walk the walk. With 20+ years of experience fighting 3 auto-immune diseases with medicine and not getting anywhere, I felt my world shift when I refused to live with the incessant pain and decided to get control of my life back by becoming proactive about my health, immensely educating myself about the power of food and reversing my chronic illness thereof. It is my mission to partner up with organizations that want to help their employees improve their health and wellness, to 10x their performance and efficiency in the workplace. I do this by educating them and giving them the necessary tools and guidance to use food as medicine and a natural remedy to increase their overall performance and wellbeingImagine after years of misdiagnosis finally getting answers and clarification, and names to the symptoms. There were so many days it was hard to even get out of bed. On many days I could not make it to work or even worse my son's activities. Then there were the days I would need to lay down and rest, while continually telling myself, and even harder others, that I AM NOT LAZY!I learned to mask the symptoms the best I could, especially for my son, as I was his only parent, his only provider. I put a smile on my face and a song in my heart and put one foot in front of the other. I was told to just deal with being sick! Say what?? What would you do? Well here is what I did...I was diagnosed with severe Crohn's Disease, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. I was told basically to deal with the pain and fatigue and that I may have some good days. For several years I did just that. I started reading about food causing inflammation, pain, fatigue and the list goes on. I learned what triggers were and started to deal with mine. I NEEDED MORE! I had the ultimate "aha" moment and now my purpose is to inform and help people use food as medicine whether it is proactive, to naturally combat any future chronic illness or disease, or reactive, in using food to offset western medicine practices. The desire for me to work with people comes from the heart. To teach everything from navigating the supermarket, reading and understanding labels, to learn how to prevent or reverse chronic long term disease. To ultimately have everyone become the best version of themselves. I believe strongly in my message and know that my knowledge of balance, health and well-being, would be an amazing asset to your company, but more importantly, your employees.Email to contact me: Rochelle@empowermentfromwithin.com
