067. "Now I can focus on the positive in my life": Alison

As a busy professional in New York, Alison followed all the healthy eating advice: she was vegetarian, ate lots of smoothie bowls and salads (all takeout!)... but she was still suffering from all kinds of symptoms and health issues. In her mid-20s, she felt like her life was crashing down on her.She was on medication for PCOS, her hair was falling out, she had dermatitis and food sensitivities, her hormones were a wreck and her periods were painful, her digestion was terrible... That was the wake-up call for Alison. She could no longer normalize all her symptoms. She had to do something.Listen to how Alison took action to address not just her symptoms, but their root cause. It wasn't a smooth journey, but it did push her to change her career and become a holistic nutritionist so that she could help her family, herself, and others. She invested in her health and was able to finally heal.Alison is the author of the book "The Paleo Gut Healing Cookbook" and the creator of Food By Mars.
