Welcome to Holistic Gigi!
A little about me -- I was active and eating what I believed to be a healthy diet when I began to develop troubling symptoms: weight gain, extreme exhaustion, depression, muscle fatigue, and dermatitis. My hair was falling out, I was cold all the time, and to make matters worse I was going through early menopause. After seeing doctor after doctor, and having test after test, with frustratingly no answers, I was finally diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis (an autoimmune thyroid disorder). While I was thrilled to finally have a diagnosis, my doctor only knew to prescribe thyroid medications which didn’t relieve my symptoms. My health seemed to be headed downhill fast but I refused to accept that the rest of my life would be a struggle to feel good. Tapping into my nutrition background, I became a wellness warrior with a quest to take back my health. I’ve spent the last 10 years searching for answers and discovering the secrets to healing and wellness.
Today I am feeling better than I have in years and have the energy to enjoy being “Gigi” to my 9 grandchildren. Join me here as I share my experiences, practical tips and inspiration for change. The launch of this resource is a dream come true for me – it’s my passion and purpose to help you achieve longevity and “make the second half of your life the best half.” This is possible but not without making some lifestyle adjustments. And let’s face it, the older we get the harder it is to change! If I can do it, so can you. You are worth the effort!
In Health,
