After 10 years, I no longer have an IBS diagnosis or any correlating symptoms. Learn my top 10 lessons I learned in 10 years of healing.

---

10 years ago, in the spring of 2015, my own, personal sickness journey began with unexplained and sudden nighttime insomnia.

At the time, I had NO idea that this seemingly small but annoying symptom was the beginning of a massive decline in my health that would not be slowed or corrected no matter what advice I followed, who I talked to, or how much money I spent.

Now - 10 years later - I have NONE of the original symptoms or diagnosis of IBS, insomnia, or constipation that I started with in 2015. And not only that, but my entire life is changed. My career is changed, my lifestyle is changed, and my mental and physical health is better than it had been my entire childhood.

So, to celebrate my 10 year anniversary of becoming (and undoing) being sick, I've gathered my Top 10 Lessons from 10 years of struggling, succeeding, and failing my way through IBS and into complete, whole body healing.

Whether you're in the beginning of your own healing journey or have been in this journey for 5, 10, 20, or 30+ years, I hope these 10 lessons bring you hope, insight, tears, and catharsis of how healing is not a straightforward journey, but if you keep honest and true to your values and needs, you WILL find the healing you're looking for.
