Two years ago I found myself in the middle of a health crisis. I woke up one morning and suddenly overnight everything began to change. I was suffering from severe inflammation and joint pain, causing me to feel helpless and fearful of what was going on in my body. As a young Mother to two small children this was extremely heartbreaking, I could no longer push them on the swing or run and chase after them. This not only affected me physically but mentally, emotionally and professionally. It was hard to obtain answers as to why my body was failing me, I was recommended to attend The Centre for Advanced Medicine and this is where my journey to wellness began.
At the Centre for Advanced Medicine, I was able to finally obtain answers through a holistic approach, where we worked diligently to try to uncover the underlying root cause of my symptoms. Once my body began to heal, it was suggested to begin working with Nicole at Inner strong fitness to continue my journey to wellness, build back the strength that was lost as a result of my illness and lose the weight that my body was holding onto.
When I met with Nicole we discussed my goals and aspirations and created a program which was personalized and sustainable. I didn’t want just a quick fix but a lifestyle change. Despite my best efforts to eat healthy and exercise I was frustrated with my lack of progress, exhausted from the pain that was impacting daily activities. Nicole created customized nutrition plans to reduce my inflammation and support my weight loss goals.
As I reflect on the significant victories I’ve achieved with Innerstrong Fitness and Centre for Advanced Medicine, I am forever grateful. The mirror reflects not just a physical transformation, but rediscovered confidence, strength and significant pain reduction.
I am beginning to notice the little details – the improved definition in my arms and legs, a more lifted appearance in my chest area and narrowing of my back. Yes, the inflammation is a stubborn companion, but i am determined. I know I’m on the right path, and through dedication I am seeing the results of prioritizing self-care.
In the midst of my ever-busy weeks, juggling the joys and challenges of family life and work commitments, I’ve found a sanctuary of peace and growth with Innerstrong Fitness and Centre for Advanced Medicine.
Training with Innerstrong has been incredible. Nicole listens and ensures that my workouts are challenging but accommodating to my physical abilities dependent on how my inflammation is affecting me. Every session leaves me feeling stronger, and more in tune with my body. I won’t lie, the aspiration for more noticeable fat loss is there, nudging me persistently. But I’ve learned to be patient, to understand that my body is a marvelous work in progress. With an upcoming hormone tests, I’m hopeful to find that missing piece of the puzzle that will catalyze my journey towards my weight loss goals.
Looking back, it’s incredible to see how far I’ve come. I’ve 17.5 inches lost, with a whopping 14 inches from the mid-section alone. This achievement, in a short time has fuelled a surge of pride and excitement within me. The road ahead looks promising, filled with potential and transformation. I trust the process, I trust Innerstrong Fitness, and most importantly, I trust myself.
Looking ahead I see myself haappy, healthy and strong inspiring those who have had a similar experience proving that with the right combination of support anything is possible.
