Health – it is one of those things that you don’t notice it until it is gone.

For me it has been a few times in my life where I was happily traveling along and then bang – it hit me out of the blue.

During one very stressful period of my life about 15 years ago I developed IBS (Irritable bowel syndrome). I literally could tell you where every public toilet was on my walk home from work, what the best time of the day was to use the bathroom in privacy in my workplace (just after lunch was a complete nightmare), and how long it took for food to go from my mouth to the other end! Luckily for me I was also studying to be a naturopath at the time and utilised my student clinic, where one of the final year students treated me. She made such a profound difference in my life, and I am so grateful to her for helping me cope with the stress, and ultimately, become well again.
