Reinvent- The personal story behind the programme
Seven years ago, I was overweight, had debilitating IBS and was diagnosed with depression. I was tired all the time and had no motivation. The doctor prescribed anti-depressants, but I didn’t want to take them, so I started researching natural alternatives. I knew nutrition could have an impact on health, my mother used nutritional therapy after being diagnosed with terminal breast cancer and was still with us nine years later, so I cut out ‘bad foods’ and hoped clean eating would be the answer. It wasn’t.
