'When people ask me how I got into all of this, what influenced my love of cooking and what got me started on my own health crusade, It’s crazy when I look back and see how young I was when it all began. My parents owned a health food store in Maine. My mother was absolutely amazing in the kitchen. She would make whole grain breads every day and sell them outside our front door and to the Art Collage down the street. I started helping out my mom in the kitchen when I was about four years old and I loved it!
My Mom could cook or bake anything; she would be mixing cakes by hand with a wooden spoon and churning out cheesecakes and rich meals with delicious sauces that would simmer all day on a weekly basis for our family and friends. I would watch her make jellies and all kinds of vegetables and help out in the kitchen – she would get me to sift the flour, grate the cheese, prepare all the ingredients and snap the peas from our garden, with my little fingers. This was the beginning of my love of cooking. We were always eating out of our garden and sharing eggs and goat’s milk with neighbors. It changed my life forever and was the inspiration for what I do today.
I participated in track and gymnastics, and I can remember enrolling myself in my school volleyball and basketball teams. I loved cheerleading and taking dance classes. I had many active brothers and sisters, my parents would encouraged us regularly to spend time outside, which was always so much fun since we lived on the water. Their example of eating right and staying active inspired my love for health, fitness and adventure.
Though I always lived a healthy lifestyle for the most part I started suffering from a mild case of Celiac Disease presenting as food allergies, painful bloating, gas, constipation, back pain, Rosacea, acne, other odd skin disruptions, prutriting veins, irregular/heavy menstruation, PMS, depression/anxiety, forgetfulness. I started having no energy or motivation to do anything. My metabolism started slowing down and I was gaining weight rather rapidly. I could feel my immune system was weak and I was becoming concerned about my bone density since I was having such aversions to milk. My sleeping patterns were becoming very inconsistent and I just didn’t feel myself anymore. I had no energy, was easily overwhelmed, and easily startled.
Thankfully God answered my prayer. A very special person brought me Kefir one day and told me how to make it and use it. I had never heard of Kefir before and the thought of having fermented milk on my counter was not appealing to me at all. I was desperate and I knew I could trust her so I drank the Kefir. Instantly I could feel it's healing power throughout my entire body. It was amazing. Within a couple of days I could feel my body getting stronger and my mind becoming clearer. Along with the consistent use of Kefir, eating healthy and exercising regularly, I became so happy and full of life and energy again. I have been completely healed. I am now unstoppable and it is my mission to share this Kefir product and the transformational information about it to the world. I Love Kefir and You will fall In Love with it too! Get ready for Kefir Complete to Heal and Energize you!
