What were you doing prior to enrolling at Integrative Nutrition?

I retired as a chef to be a full-time mom. Amid the confusion and uncertainty of the beginning of the pandemic, I wanted to find my calling in a field that would allow me to give back and assist people.

How did your life change after enrolling?

I found my purpose in assisting other people in their journeys. I understood that at times I was my own enemy due to self-doubt. Joshua’s conferences led me to acknowledge my personal power and value.

What were you doing prior to enrolling at Integrative Nutrition?

Before IIN, I ignored the ability I had to empower my own health. I lived in a state of victimhood and was very stressed by the diseases I was suffering from or could suffer from genetically.

First, I learned about the power of habits, took immediate action, and noticed the changes that improved my quality of life in a sustainable way. Second, I managed to create my life purpose: to help others empower themselves.
