Her Story
She is a Peer!
Jasmine has battled autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) for over twenty (20) years, encompassing both Graves' disease and Hashimoto's. Over this period, she also confronted various mental health conditions, including complex-PTSD, obsessive compulsive personality disorder (OCPD), and periodic episodes of localized and selective dissociative amnesia stemming from past traumas. During her teenage years, she faced substance use disorder (SUD) but persistently worked towards life restoration, ultimately achieving her dream of becoming a doctor.
Triumph in the Face of Adversity
While many individuals facing comparable health struggles often find their interventions to be ineffective, her journey has led her to the integration of personalized alternative lifestyle education therapies. Embracing God and Christ her savior as a spiritual practice, using nutritional approaches, and applying body-mind-spirit approaches to manage her mental health have proven instrumental in her healing process. These lifestyle recovery endeavors encompass relationships, belief systems, trauma comprehension, and even aspects of food security such as budgeting and selecting nutritious options.
"Changing is a time of discovery, to have a chance to make a difference, that will enable you, to find out who you truly are, and... to help you... get from where you are today, to where you want to be tomorrow!"
Research
The health effects of traumatic stress, including negative life events and substance use are well documented in medical literature, highlighting how unhealthy lifestyles stemming from harmful environments or relationships can disrupt immune function and metabolic pathways, elevating susceptibility to autoimmune-based endocrine diseases and mental disorders, housing crisis, and food insecurity. Through dedicated research, Jasmine's advanced studies have dived deep into the potential of Paleo medical nutrition therapy to successfully address and navigate these challenges Furthermore, the integration of body-mind-spirit practices has emerged as a vital asset on her path of recovery and healing, when other pathways could not, ensuring overall management of her well-being and directing her to lead a productive lifestyle.
