 | Thank you for visiting Listen to the Gut, providing nutritional guidance for those living with IBD. This site is dedicated to Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Wellness. It was created to share my love for food and its healing powers with the world and also a place to document and share my story and struggles with ulcerative colitis. My journey to becoming a Registered Holistic Nutritionist began with my own health issues. I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease that affects the large intestine at 26. Having rarely been sick prior to IBD, it was devastating to be dealing with a crippling autoimmune disease. I am grateful to be in remission after struggling with weight loss, joint pain, urgency, fatigue, and the constant struggle to get through the day. Dealing with an invisible chronic disease is challenging and too many of us go through it alone. IBD has made me appreciate how much my body does every single day when simple tasks became difficult to carry out. Our bodies are incredible vehicles that allow us to perform daily functions seamlessly. So doesn't it make sense that we provide it with the essential nourishment and fuel for it to do its job? It is my hope that I can help others who are struggling, to take back control of what you are eating, and to take back control of your life. Are you ready to enjoy food again? Are you ready to feel alive? Let me help you! Thank you for reading! Be sure to check out the LEARN section of this site and feel free to contact me (see bottom of the site page). -Holly ^^ |
