​Have you ever been so tired that some mornings you struggle to get out of bed? So tired that by 2 in the afternoon you have a sleep, sleep solid all night and struggle to get up the next morning?

​I have and that is what my life has been like on and off for the last 4 years.  I believe I had underactive thyroid from a young age as I slept a lot and could sleep anywhere.  As age crept up on me and menopause arrived the situation got worse.  I finally managed to get my GP to prescribe syn-thyroid 5 years ago, which I don’t think made any difference. Some days I thought I felt better, however that was short lived.  I wondered if I was just being hopeful.

Rachael was recommended to me by my physio.  This was my last hope of finding a solution.  I had seen many Natural Therapist and spent thousands of $ over the years with little or no change. I met Rachael November 2016, and this is where my journey began.  Firstly supplements were looked at and recommended and also a change to a Keto way of eating, LCHF.  Slowly I started to feel better, but still not 100%. 

I become quite ill in December 2016 with tonsillitis, and my energy levels were on the decline until I finally pulled finger and saw Rachael again May 2017 (I’m a slow learner) the worsts part of all this is the brain fog, so rational thinking just goes out the door.  At this point I was still harbouring the virus I contracted in December 2016, so priority was to get rid of that, which we managed to do using supplements.  Visited Racheal again in September to confirm that the virus was out of my system but the Thyroid was still not functioning very well. 

​By this stage my weight had soared and I was carrying an excess of 10 kg.  Racheal suggested we have one last go at the syn-thyroid medication proscribed by my GP.  Upped the dosage to trial for two months.  No change at all.  Met again with Rachael in November where she confirmed that the Syn- thyroid medication wasn’t working.  I’d been taking this medication for 5 years with no positive results.  By this point one starts to question ones mental state, the brain fog was turning my days in to fuzzy days, and the best part of my day was when I could sleep. 

This is when my life changed; Rachael asked me if I would be keen to try a Raw Thyroid supplement which you don’t need a GP script for.  Raw Thyroid is made up of toxin-free lyophilised glands from animals.  What a winner, no word of a lie, within 48 hours I was bouncing! I could not believe how awesome I felt.  I could not remember if at all, when I last felt this good.  I did come crashing down a week later and was very emotional, however this was only because I was so scared that this feeling was not going to last, how could it? Well let me tell you, it has.  I’m going through a tough time now which before Raw Thyroid would have knocked me for 6, oh no not this time; I am focused and still have the energy levels up, no brain fog to fuzz my decision. 

I spoke to my GP about trying Raw Thyroid years ago and she told me it wouldn’t work, I took her word for it, silly me!

My recommendation to anyone who is in the same boat as me and has a very underactive Thyroid and nothing is working! Give Raw Thyroid a going, you won’t regret it!

Without Rachael’s determination goodness only knows where I would be today, I owe my life to Rachael, a woman who believes so deeply in what she does and to whom I am truly grateful and thankful.  So glad I found this wonder woman.

When I first met with Rachael, my main health concerns were that I had a skin rash on my face (Perioral Dermatitis that had been there for 6months!), low energy, gut / digestion issues, fatigue and poor general health.  

I had extensively tried GP’s and specialists, blood tests, and skin prick tests, but no long term solution was found.  However, Rachael listened carefully to what my body was trying to tell me - looking into my food, health / lifestyle, and then making a plan forward regarding diet, nutrition and supplements to further support my health.  Re-testing how we were progressing along the way, she tweaked and tailored my plan as my health increased and symptoms started to decrease. 

​Now a year later my health has totally turned around- my skin is great, I have far more energy, clarity of mind, I now understand which foods support my body and which don’t, my digestion and gut health has greatly improved.. And I now seem to have a far stronger immunity to everyday bugs and viruses!  
 
Rachael has gone above and beyond, and has a genuine desire to see people healthy and thriving.  She is always a pleasure to work with, friendly, approachable and willing to answer and discuss any questions I may have.

When we first met I had little energy or strength, and no stamina. You got me started on a new diet and helped by some supplements I quickly saw improvements. Now I go to the gym nearly every day of the week, I've developed great muscle tone and have more energy and stamina than I could have hoped for. 

You really exceeded my best expectations.

My husband was suffering from IBS for a number of years, making life uncomfortable for him.  We knew what the problem was but not how to sort it out or what was causing it.  

When he saw Rachael it became clear that he had to stay clear of carbohydrates and fats and proteins were his new best friend.  Since this discovery and with the help of specific supplements Rachael recommended, he has been pretty much IBS free (except when he slips back into eating too much bread!) and has had lots more energy and is generally healthier.

My whole life I have struggled with stomach issues. Since birth my family has been trying to figure out why I've had such a sensitive stomach. It seemed that every season of my life my stomach couldn't handle eating "some different kind of food." Whether it was dairy one year, soy products the next or meat the other. 

Last year I was on a missions trip to Ethiopia where I picked up a parasite. After being bedridden for 8 weeks (because the doctors could not figure out what was wrong with me) my friend told me about her friend Rachael who has been researching and working in the field of nutrition. After contacting Rachael and who did a distance consultation with me by taking a medical history of my whole life, she was able to not only give me medicine for my parasite but also suggest I had "low stomach acid."

She gave me a supplement that I was required to take with my food daily and since then my stomach has never felt better. I've been able to eat all different types of foods without any problems. My energy level has also increased incredibly as well as my attention span.

Rachael is my personal super hero- you rock lady!

I had seen Rachael's website before, but it wasn't until a friend had a consultation with her that I got in touch. After I filled out the form, she made some suggestions for dietary changes and recommended some supplements. I half-assedly followed the dietary changes for a few months, but then in July with my mom's help (I was at my parents for a visit for three weeks), I really put the changes into place. 

Wow! While I have slipped a little since I've been back on my own, I know what I need to do and that it works. Making changes to my diet by reducing my sugar intake (whether it's in the pure form of sugar or honey or chocolate or processed like bread or pasta), has made a huge change in alleviating my anxiety and lifting my mood. It might help that I can now eat and truly enjoy foie gras and bacon without the guilt trip from the diet industry. The fact that I have finally seen the scale move in a downward direction (after years of stalling) is secondary to the more than 20% drop in my cholesterol numbers (the hdl numbers are still nice and high). My moods are much more stable and my energy levels are much higher than they were. The idea that I could take three dance classes a week without risking the bones in my feet or hurting my knees would have been unheard of two years ago. 

I took the supplements Rachael recommended pretty strictly until the summer. I still take some of them every weekday, others I take when I can tell that I need a bit of a boost. 

Don't hesitate to get in touch with Rachael; she truly knows of what she speaks. Follow her advice, ask tons of questions; she has a lot to offer you!
