When I Finally Stopped Googling My Symptoms…

I remember the exact moment I realized I was tired of being tired.
Tired of bloating after nearly everything I ate.
Tired of not trusting my body.
Tired of Googling every weird symptom and falling into a rabbit hole of "maybe it's just stress" or "maybe I'm just getting older."

But deep down, I knew it wasn’t just stress. Or aging. Or anxiety. Something wasn’t right.

If you’ve ever sat in your bathroom with your phone in one hand, a heating pad on your belly, searching “why am I always bloated?” or “can anxiety cause stomach pain?” or “best probiotic for women over 35”, then you are not alone. I was you.

🧠 The Information Overload Spiral

I spent years scrolling through blog posts, trying elimination diets, downloading free checklists, tracking everything I ate, and taking random supplements I saw on Instagram.

I was convinced that if I just found the right food or the right product, I’d finally feel better. But nothing stuck. I was still bloated. Still exhausted. Still foggy and disconnected from my body.

💔 A Lifetime of Symptoms I Didn’t Know Were Gut-Related

It wasn’t just bloating. Looking back, I had a long list of symptoms that I thought were “just part of who I was”:

• A ruptured appendix at age 12
  
  
• Chronic UTIs
  
  
• Dry skin and always cold
  
  
• Weight fluctuations despite eating “healthy”
  
  
• That constant knot in my stomach
  
  
• Mood swings and anxiety
  
  
• Needing caffeine to make it through the day
  
  
• Never quite feeling “well,” even when doctors told me everything looked normal
  
  

I thought I was doing everything “right”—and still felt wrong.

🌱 The Turning Point: I Stopped Googling and Started Listening

I stopped chasing symptoms and started learning how my body actually worked.

That’s when everything shifted.

I learned that gut health is central to everything—energy, hormones, mental clarity, immunity, skin, and even how we feel emotionally. I realized that my body wasn't broken... it was communicating. I just hadn’t been taught how to listen.

I enrolled in a functional nutrition training program not just to heal myself, but to help others like me.
