Hi, I’m Breanna Wilson.
Maybe you are here because you are where I was about ten years ago. You are seeking to reclaim your health and find your joy again! This is my health story.
I grew up a healthy kid, always playing around outside or enjoying the next sports season I was involved with. I was a happy healthy northwest girl staying active day to day.
In 2011 I had the worst case of acne begin to emerge which was followed by a month long battle with mono. I firmly believe this is when my body was beginning to tell me the signs I was intolerant of gluten, something I would not discover until 2019. But lacking knowledge about inflammatory foods, I accepted the prescriptions from my doctors and went on with life.
In 2018 my conditions worsened. I had moved to Baltimore, Maryland for college and began a teaching career teaching middle school history. I battled painful daily bloating and multiple trips to the restroom, disrupting my routine as a teacher. My symptoms aligned with what one might have thought was anxiety, this was not the case but more medications were pursued in hope of relief. This was a mistake, my symptoms grew worse with acid reflux and intolerance of more foods that upset my stomach even worse.
Furthering this journey to resolve my conditions, I met with highly qualified, cardiologists, a pulmonologist, gastroenterologist, acupuncturists and many other specialists. None of which could diagnose the root of my problems. I vividly remember crying and praying that one of the calls would finally be a diagnosis, anything, I just wanted to start healing my body.
My truth and root of my problems would be revealed in a blood test in early 2019, that showed I had elevated levels of gluten intolerance. My body was telling me it was DONE with wheat products, and the intermittent reflux was only made worse by the medications and their side effects.
But why? I only ate healthy whole grains, baked with unbleached “natural” flours, I thought I was eating healthy…little did I know, there is so much more to this onion of healthy habits and eating. It is now my passion as a mom, wife and connoisseur of delicious whole foods to share my knowledge of nutrition and healthy behaviors with everyone.
I firmly believe in holistic healing through food since going through this process to discover my root causes of my ailments. Healing my body and nourishing it through clean foods has become a passion and I hope to help others with my experience and education. I am a proud to have received an amazing education from the Integrative Institute of Nutrition and would be delighted to bring you on a 6 month journey to reaching your brighter days!
