I was diagnosed with an extremely severe case of sleep apnea, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and a pre-diabetic status. At this time, I was also struggling with substance abuse, which would obviously contribute to my health complications, but most were from birth. After receiving the news from running tests, the doctors had informed me that I was lucky to be alive.<\/p>\n<p>My psychological health was greatly impacted by my physiological health, evoking feelings of anger, and negativity which caused me to constantly argue with people around me.  This affected several of my relationships and was creating a miserable life.<\/p>\n<p>This lead me to seek out the help of a bodybuilding coach (not knowing a damn thing about health at the time). The main focus was \u201cgetting shredded,\u201d not understanding how much internal health affects one\u2019s physique. Interestingly enough, shedding the weight had really helped with my sleep apnea, but still, quite a few health complications were present. At this time hunger was ignited in me to learn more. I became determined to solve what was going on in my body. <\/p>\n<p>I decided to acquire my first nutrition certification through the ISSA (International Sports Science Association).<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<!--Podscribe (podscribe.ai) embed code--><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<!--End Podscribe embed code-->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/carrotsncake.com\/ep291-beyond-diets-supplements-the-science-of-healing-chronic-conditions-with-curtis-gillespie-sayers\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this episode, Tina sits down with her functional practitioner, Curtis Gillespie Sayers, to dive into her long and complicated journey with ulcerative colitis, a \u201ctough case,\u201d as Curtis describes it.
