The Early Struggles
my late teens, life threw me a curveball. Seasonal allergies and food intolerances crept into my daily routine, transforming what had once been simple pleasures into constant battles. Springtime, a season of renewal for most, became a dreaded stretch of sneezing, congestion, and discomfort. Foods I loved betrayed me, leaving me bloated and fatigued. The solutions from doctors were always temporary, treating symptoms but never addressing the underlying causes. I began to wonder: was this just how life would be from now on?
Sleepless Nights and Lingering Questions
Fast forward to my mid-thirties, and a new adversary emerged: insomnia. Nights became an endless loop of tossing and turning, my mind racing with no off switch. I tried everything—over-the-counter remedies, prescriptions, bedtime rituals—but nothing worked. The sleepless nights fed my anxiety, which in turn made sleep even harder to come by. It felt like I was trapped in a cycle that no amount of conventional advice could break.
The Breaking Point
Stress has a way of creeping up on you, slowly at first, until it becomes unbearable. For me, the tipping point came during a period of relentless pressure in both my personal and professional life. My body finally said, “Enough.” The breakdown was physical, emotional, and mental all at once. Chronic depression settled in, amplifying the struggles I was already facing. And yet, even in the midst of this turmoil, something inside me refused to give up. I began to question the systems I had always relied on for answers.
Frustration with Conventional Medicine
The visits to doctors felt increasingly futile. Their prescriptions and advice addressed surface-level symptoms but offered no path to lasting relief. I was told to manage my allergies, tolerate my intolerances, and rely on medications for the depression and insomnia. Each solution felt like a temporary patch rather than a genuine fix. I didn’t want a band-aid; I wanted a permanent solution. This growing frustration became the spark that ignited my search for a better way.
Discovering a New Path
The turning point came when I stumbled upon the concept of epigenetics—the idea that our genes are not static and that our environment and choices influence their expression. This revelation was both empowering and humbling. It suggested that I wasn’t merely a victim of biology but had the ability to influence my health through my actions. I dove headfirst into research, devouring everything I could find about nutrition, stress management, and the mind-body connection.
A Passion Born from Results
As I began implementing what I learned, the changes were undeniable. My seasonal allergies became manageable. Foods that once caused me distress were reintroduced carefully, with fewer reactions. Sleep, once elusive, started to return in small but meaningful increments. These results were a revelation. For the first time in years, I felt like I was in control of my health. The passion to understand more and help others grew naturally from these experiences.
Many of us believe that our genes doom us to the disorders that run in our families. However, by using a personalised approach we can eliminate symptoms and optimise your mental and physical health andultimately rewrite your genetic destiny. Your genes don’t set the patterns they negotiate with you.
The secret being to learn how to silence the bad genes and turn up the volume on the good ones. Your genetic destiny is more like a word document. You get to edit and revise it every moment of your life.
From Business to Health Coaching
Before diving into the world of health coaching, I had built a thriving career as a restaurant and event management business owner in the heart of Oslo’s city center. My business was a bustling hub, bringing people together to enjoy good food and memorable events. The work was rewarding but demanding, and over time, it took a toll on my health. My eventual pivot to health coaching wasn’t just a career change; it was a life change, driven by the results I experienced on my own wellness journey.
The Journey Continues
My journey hasn’t ended; in many ways, it has only just begun. Health is not a destination but an ongoing process of learning, adapting, and growing. Each person’s path is unique, and what works for one may not work for another. This understanding has shaped my approach to coaching, emphasizing personalization and empowerment. It’s about finding what makes you thrive and supporting you in making that a reality.
Empowering Others
Today, I work with clients who, like me, feel stuck in cycles of poor health and frustration. Together, we explore the root causes of their challenges and develop practical, sustainable strategies for improvement. The joy of seeing someone regain control of their health is immeasurable. It’s a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is always hope for change.
Lessons Learned
If there’s one thing my journey has taught me, it’s this: healing is not just about addressing physical symptoms. It’s about understanding the interplay of mind, body, and environment. It’s about asking the hard questions and being willing to explore unconventional answers. Most importantly, it’s about believing in your ability to change and grow, even when the odds seem stacked against you.
I Understand You
If you’re reading this, you might be where I once was—frustrated, overwhelmed, and searching for answers that feel just out of reach. I get it. I’ve been there, struggling with symptoms that felt endless and solutions that seemed out of grasp. I know how isolating it can feel when nothing seems to work. But here’s what I’ve learned: there is hope, and there are answers. You don’t have to settle for managing symptoms.
Together, we can uncover the deeper causes and chart a path to lasting wellness. I understand you because I was you. Let me help you take that first step toward the health and life you deserve.
