Balance To Thrive with me!

Hey Friends, welcome!!!

My name is Shaena Hudson and I'd like to tell you my story of why I decided to help people with gut health! I was 17 years old when I first began getting very sick daily, it started small for me with disruptions in my day and gradually progressed to not being able to get through the day without getting sick.  I had stomach pains daily, was constantly bloated, nauseous, tired, my skin was breaking out and I had a lot of eczema. I didn't know much about nutrition at this age and thought okay I better go see a doctor because It got to a point where no matter what I was eating or drinking my stomach was in pain. I went to the doctor and they put me on the highest form of antacid tablets, none of my symptoms improved and I felt the same whether I took the antacid or not. I went back to the doctor and they recommended I go see a GI specialist who would possibly do a surgery on my intestine and remove a block in my intestine. I could not afford this at all and the thought of undergoing surgery at 19 felt wrong to me. I had a lot of questions like "what caused the block, will it come back after the surgery, will I still be suffering from all the same symptoms after this surgery?" Thank goodness I worked at a gym at the time and the trainers I was working with pointed me towards nutrition and told me that they strongly felt that I may have food allergens.
 

 

I did elimination diet and pinpointed gluten and dairy as allergens and also found out I had a block in my intestine from eating these foods. I was eating a lot of gluten and dairy alternatives gaining more weight and having awful cystic acne breakouts paired with eczema and was still not feeling my best until I started eating more of a whole food diet and diving into my gut microbiome health. I was young and had no experience or knowledge, I am grateful because this led me to learn and grow within myself. Later I decided to go to school for holistic nutrition and this is where my knowledge greatly expanded. This progressed into me wanting to help others not go through the same struggles that I went through. I am beyond grateful for my journey because I truly feel that it led me to help others and to keep growing in my nutrition daily to live and feel my best.
