EATING FOR ENERGY
Who I Am
My name is Amanda and I'm a recovering 'fatiguer'.Phew! I feel like I just came out at an AA meeting. I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/M.E. around 2009. I don't like to focus on it as an illness. Due to my personal circumstances (see more in 'About') I had to find a way to cope with the disease and keep working as a Pilates Instructor, Clinical Hypnotherapist and Massage Therapist.
I tried many complementary therapies some of which helped a little or a lot. Nutrition was by far and away my best find and improved my symptoms markedly. Making food my best friend has literally kept me going.
You Are What You Eat
I have experimented on myself for over five years. I discovered the difference food can make in helpful and unhelpful ways! I have no nutritional background but have taken advice from two nutritional therapists and done my own research into the best vitamins and minerals for energy and a healthy, functioning body and mind. I have also taken influence from the paleo and Banting worlds but I don't claim these recipes are pure paleo or Banting based. Recipes are suitable for anyone wanting to be healthy.
