I'm Chantal

Shortly after going on medication for these conditions, I suffered severe side effects in the form of even more fatigue, anxiety, migraines, extreme mood swings, and spells of insomnia. I struggled to adapt to this “new” normal, even though the doctor tried to convince me that this “new normal” was completely normal for all of these conditions – I was miserable, hopeless, sad, and desperate.

In my heart, I knew there had to be a better way; there had to be hope somewhere – surely, this wouldn’t be my reality for the rest of my life.

I took major control of what I put into my body, to what I put on my body. Along the way, I switched from desperation, hopelessness, and survival mode to full-on mindfulness, joy, and being fully nourished. This didn’t happen without some big leaps and even bigger stumbles along the way. It is an ever-evolving process, as life ebbs and flows in many seasons.

After many hours of intense research and the help of a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, I radically transformed my diet and lifestyle, eliminating highly processed foods and sweeteners. I decided that eating nutrient-dense, real, whole food could be the key to nourishment, and I haven’t looked back.

My health took a drastic turn in the most beautiful way, yet some little pesky symptoms continued to linger even though I was doing all the “right” things. Come to find out, my mercury-based amalgam fillings and a residual jaw-bone infection from my wisdom teeth extraction decades ago were the root cause and beginning of my disease. Removing the slow yet constant drip of toxins into my body and a very targeted detoxification protocol has been the ultimate game-changer in my overall wellness.
