HI I'M KIM

​​

As a child, I was a competitive swimmer. I was always exercising whether it was in the pool or dancing. 

I have continued my swimming and is my favorite exercises to do. 

​

When I turned 20, bad food, lack of exercise and social outings with friends who did not have the predisposition for weight gain

caused me to gain a lot of weight. I took the steps to change the way I ate and lost all the weight I had gained and re-found my missing waistline. I started training at the gym once more and kept the weight off.

​

I was in my mid 20's when my weight became a problem again. I was given a contraceptive pill called Depo Provera.

My body reacted badly to it. I put on 20kg's in 4 weeks and my periods stopped coming regularly. I continued exercising and eating

healthy, however nothing was working. The weight just would not come off no matter how much exercise I did.

 

It wasn't until I was in my early 30s that I saw a specialist for what I thought was a thyroid

problem, only to find out I had a metabolic hormonal imbalance. I was sent on my way with

no advice except, you just need to lose weight. 

Finally having a name for what was going on with my body, I went home and started

to researched metabolic hormonal disorder.  I found that certain foods caused

inflammation in the body and it was this inflammation that was the root cause of

my problems. All the healthy food I was eating did not work for someone with a

hormonal imbalance.

With a change in my nutrition, I devised a meal plan for myself and within 6 weeks,

I managed to shed 10kgs.

​

In my mid 30's, my husband and I underwent IVF. Unfortunately, this was unsuccessful.

My body did not cope, and I grew huge fibroids. The fibroids were so large, I needed a

hysterectomy. I was put into an induced menopause in order to shrink the fibroids so

the hysterectomy could be performed.

In December 2019, I underwent a very complicated hysterectomy surgery that took over 

3 hours.  I figured this would be it for a while. Little did I know.

 

3 months later, March 2020, just as covid hit, I found a lump and was diagnosed with breast cancer.   

​

I am now in my 50's, like most women my age, dealing with Menopause. Let's just say, I've gone through a lot.

I've beaten the odds, and I've fixed my nutritional problems. I have a lot of hands-on experience.

​

A couple years before I was diagnosed and while I was having treatment, I studied nutrition and hormone health.

​

Today I am a wife and most importantly a mum to two princess furbabies.
