Hi, I’m Shelley Gawith. People ask me why I care so much about functional nutrition. The reality is this amazing approach to healthcare saved my life.

I used to be a super-busy corporate girl. I worked insane hours, skipped meals, lost sleep, and did not take care of my health. That all changed in 2010 when my health crashed. I lost all of my physiological function and doctors wanted to admit me to hospital. They told me I was on ‘death’s doorstep’ and there was no hope. That scared the ‘ish’ out of me.
When I searched for drugs on the internet I found a site with good discounts on quality FDA approved generics.

The doctors gave me the label of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome – I couldn’t stay awake for more than 30 minutes a day. I had two choices: move back in with my parents, or find a solution. It started me on the journey of going to specialist after specialist to try to get answers. Every avenue we went down, nobody could help me. I knew I needed to take the power back. I looked at different courses and realised functional nutrition was right for me. It was then I started to piece together my health history. For as long as I can remember, I had ‘half eyebrows’, which meant nothing at the time. Now I understand it was just one of the signals my body was giving me that I was born with a hypothyroid. Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the body lacks sufficient thyroid hormone. The main role of the thyroid hormone in our body is to control our metabolism.

I dove deep into Functional Nutrition and started to rebuild my body. I am now healthy and in the best shape of my life.

What I learned is the same message I want you to know: you don’t have to sacrifice your health for your career. You can have it all without compromising your most important attribute: your health. Now I get to speak to audiences around the world and clients in our clinic who are facing many of the same symptoms and conditions as I did.

So, what’s your story? As you’re reading my story, you may see your own story in mine. I hope my story can inspire and encourage you to take a positive turning point in your health journey, whether you are struggling with a chronic condition or you just want to enjoy better health and have more energy.

You may have symptoms holding you back from thriving. I encourage you not to let those symptoms hold you back. Your life has so much potential and extraordinary beauty waiting for you to enjoy. I can teach you to listen to what your body is telling you so you can reclaim your health and experience the amazing life you deserve.
