I grew up in Poland and remember suffering from a lot of colds, chest and ear infections as a child.  On many occasions I received antibiotics including injections. Later as a teenager I had terrible acne and again was given antibiotics. If I could turn back time and knew back then what I know now, I’m sure I could heal myself pretty quickly with nutrition and elimination of foods that I was intolerant to.   

Interested in nutrition from my early twenties, I experimented with different diets and started cooking and growing my own vegetables. Lucky to like vegetables and fermented Polish foods such as Sauerkraut and gherkins, I was able to unknowingly help my gut heal. My gut issues reappeared when I moved to the UK in 2007. Bloating and weight gain troubled me the most. Brain fog and severe knee pain joined them after a few years.  I started researching and reading about nutrition and changing my diet. I eliminated sugar and gluten and was surprised to notice that the extra weight around the middle melted off, knee pain disappeared and my brain was sharp again. My energy levels increased too! I couldn’t stop reading but I found the available information contradictory and confusing. I needed more! I needed reliable information and I wanted to help other people. After much thinking and consideration, while working full time as an Intensive Care nurse, I enrolled myself on the 3-years course of Nutrition at The College of Naturopathic Medicine in London. And it changed my life! I am now fully qualified and registered Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist as well as practicing Intensive Care nurse.
