Just wanted to let you know that your blog inspired me to study nutritional medicine. I am in a similar position to you in that I have been struggling with a debilitating illness and took a year off to try and heal myself. I didn’t want to go back to my career as I knew it was contributing to my health issues.

So I was considering Nutritional medicine, (amongst many other options) because I had been healing myself through nutrition and natural therapies and researching nutrition and the links to my problems. When I stumbled onto your blog a few months back – I immediately applied to a college and got in! I’m doing some bridging studies at the moment, but officially start in January.

So thank you, thank you, thank you. You are such an inspiration. I love your common sense approach along with your fabulous sense of humour.

This really resonated with me: People worry about it all way too much. The stress we put on ourselves over what to eat, getting the right proportions or calories, getting enough protein or eating too much carbs.

When I eliminated refined and processed foods, and began consuming a diet high in raw organic plant foods, all that worry and crazy counting of points, calories, fat grams, and carbs got left behind. Freedom!
