I started researching all that I could about autoimmune disease. I began by researching traditional medical approaches and their outcomes, but refused to accept a life of chronic progressive disease. This pushed me to look deeper into alternative methods. <\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-73ee7792\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\">As I found more and more books on various holistic approaches to healing I was convinced it was worth a try. I slowly started implementing the changes and was shocked at how profound the effects were! My persistent joint pains were easing, my crushing fatigue was lightening, and I was getting back my life. I continued researching and continued testing out the theories on myself. I started to feel so good that I knew I had to reach out to as many people as I could to spread the amazing message. <\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-1ec402ef\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\">I became certified in Plant Based Nutrition from eCornell and Autoimmune Holistic Nutrition from AFPA. After much deliberation and prayer I decided to start <strong>BWell Nourished<\/strong> as a resource to help as many people as I can to take their health and wellness into their own hands and be able to live the most fulfilling life possible.<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div
