Hi, I’m Alex! I created this blog to share my love for everything health and wellness. I am particularly passionate about neuroplasticity, nutrition, naturopathy and the mind-body connection.

MY HEALTH JOURNEY

I spent the majority of my 20’s with severe Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME). I spent a significant period of this time bed bound and house bound with a myriad of daily symptoms. These struggles were featured in a Mamamia article that can be viewed here.

Working with top integrative and holistic practitioners I was diagnosed with Chronic Lyme Disease, Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency (CCSVI), Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, amongst others. I completed over seven years of intense treatment, including IV antibiotics and trips to Malaysia and Germany for Hyperthermia & Plasmapheresis. I also made changes to my nutrition, took countless supplements, did infrared saunas, IV nutrients, acupuncture etc. You name it, I tried it! This approach lead to significant improvements, but even with the time, expense, and unwavering commitment to my healing, I was still experiencing numerous day-to-day symptoms that reduced my quality of life.

NERVOUS SYSTEM REGULATION

Towards the end of 2022 I committed to regulating my nervous system using a brain-retraining program called DNRS. The changes from implementing this have been profound and almost unbelievable. After all of my experiences I truly believe that addressing the nervous system is essential for healing and is the root cause of many chronic health conditions. I have written more about my experience with DNRS here.

Since then, I have worked through another nervous system regulation program called Primal Trust, I have written about my experience here. I am fascinated by the mind-body connection and my healing journey now encompasses my mind, body and spirit.

I have created this blog to share what I have learnt. I know the pain, suffering and helplessness that chronic illness can bring and I hope that my story may bring a glimmer of hope to those that need it
