The Crazy Story of How I Quit My Corporate Job To Become A Health Coach

and overcame chronic illness, anxiety, and 30 other symptoms

I had the dream job.

I was working in the Fortune15, making over 6 figures, at the ripe age of 24.

On paper everything was great: I had a fabulous downtown condo, I frequented all the Chicago hot-spots for dinners & drinks with friends, and I lived life at 100mph.

One day, I woke up with brain fog. Then ulcers. Then anxiety. Then depression. Then - hypertension, insomnia, hair loss, weight loss, weight gain, swelling, tight muscles, migraines, exhaustion, and more.

I thought I was dying.

I had no choice. I had to take 6 months away from work, visit dozens of doctors and try hundreds of different tests, supplements, and medications.

But, all my tests came back ‘normal.’ None of the meds improved my symptoms. No one could figure out what was wrong.

After 1.5 years of searching for answers, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia - the illness of ‘false inflammation.’

Fibromyalgia patients have all the symptoms of an intensely inflamed body, but there’s little-to-no inflammation present.

Instead, the brain is creating very real pain, exhaustion, and other physical symptoms based on painful thoughts.

In other words: my thoughts of comparing myself to others, competing at work, craving more-more-more out of life were creating physical symptoms in my body like ulcers and hair loss.

One by one, I started to re-write my thoughts, and one by one my symptoms started disappearing.

My fibro diagnosis is life-long, and there is NO known cure; BUT, after 2 years of education & intense mindset work, my symptoms were all but gone.

The Turning Point

I knew I had discovered something BIG, not just for me, but for everyone I know dealing with stress, self-criticism, intrusive thoughts, low energy, and mystery ailments.

Our thoughts are our things.

Not only do our thoughts create our reality, they also shape our physical body, for better or worse.

Over the last 6 years, I’ve strengthened my personal practice, completed a masters in Communication from Northwestern, and become a yoga, meditation, health & behavior change coach through hundreds of hours of training.

I’ve paired what I learned in my own journey with clinically backed evidence to create a true framework to improve your thoughts, your health, and your reality.
