Nourish Yourself Deeply and Thrive by: Krystalle

categories: Conscious Nutrition General

When I was obsessed with nutrition and ‘eating right’, I experienced stress, I felt tired, and I was compulsive with my choices, eating some foods because they were ‘good’ and avoiding others because they were ‘bad’. In Conscious Nutrition, my primary focus is deeply nourishing my body and supporting my Being with what I require to thrive – to be happy, feel healthy, enjoy my abundant energy, beautiful body, and radiant hair, skin, and nails.

I grew up in Texas. My father was a chemical engineer in a refinery and Mom had various jobs. My main foods were spaghetti with meat sauce, gumbo, chicken-fried steak, and cheese toast. I’m just sayin’: if I discovered how to eat well and be healthy, you can too!

I went to college and received my Bachelors of Science degree in kinesiology. I studied the human body and became a fitness trainer. I have been a lifestyle coach for 17 years. In my first 13 years, I counted calories, counted carbs, ate like a caveman, consumed mass amounts of protein via eggs, meat, and whey, took all kinds of manufactured supplements, studied Dr. Sears, Dr. Weil, and numerous other authors. I blood-typed, metabolic-typed, and South Beached. I experimented with ‘cheat days’, ‘reward meals’, protein drinks, and more meal replacement bars than I care to remember.

I worked about 60 – 70 hours per week and trained in the gym 7 – 10 hours per week. I was strict with my food, eating every two hours and only consuming organic produce, meat, and eggs. I was muscular and lean. I threw an amazing uppercut and right cross-punch. I could stand on a fitness ball while catching and throwing 12-lb medicine balls. My Vinyasa flow yoga was spot-on, and in October 2004 I experienced a healing crisis. I broke out in recurring hives from my neck to my thighs. I had dark circles under my eyes and felt tired much of the day.

I went to Canyon Ranch (a high-end health resort and spa) and a few other doctors and nutritionists who all said, “You are eating exactly what you should, and I don’t know why you are having health challenges. It must be stress.” I felt anger and fear: if I am eating ‘right’ then what is happening? I was not satisfied with the answers I was getting from other people. I knew there was more to life than doing what everyone said was right and still feeling poopie (that is a technical term!). I remember sitting at my desk one day, thinking and saying, “There is more to life than this! There is more available to me. I don’t know what it is, but I am going to find out!”

This is when I let go of all I knew about nutrition and fitness. I recognized the strict eating plans I had been so committed to were not working – even though they looked ‘right’ on the surface. Instead of giving up and eating a bunch of junk food just because what I thought was good was not working, I chose to experiment. I strated checking in with my own body, my own intuition, and my energy levels.

At the time I was eating meat, dairy, veggies, fruits, nuts, and seeds – a full spectrum diet: all organic, grass-fed, pasture raised, and wholesome. This was also around the time I met Arttemis.

He introduced me to the Body Ecology way of eating. After my recent experience, I was skeptical a book could tell me anything useful. I read it anyway – mostly to say I told you so – and I am glad I was wrong.

The Body Ecology book weaved information I had already encountered in a new way. It showed how a number of body systems and eating systems weave together and support each other.

After reading the Body Ecology book, I understood my body better. I had newfound motivation and direction to cleanse and heal my digestive system, liver, and kidneys. I use my new enthusiasm to restore my health, and it worked. My hives went away and my skin cleared. The circles under my eyes lightened and lifted. Over time I had more energy and felt great.

What was different about this system? How did I do it? I was willing to observe, explore, and change. I was willing to let go of what was not working – even though what wasn’t working was supposed to be the ‘right’ way to eat.

I ate less meat and more veggies – not because it was ‘right’, but because I felt better when I did. Then I heard about raw foods. I discovered fresh, raw, organic veggies, fruit, seeds, and nuts are brimming with minerals, enzymes, and life force. That explains why I feel great when I eat raw food – I am feeding my body more light and life!

Arttemis and I moved to Arizona and worked at the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center, a raw food healing oasis, for two years. I saw some people come in very sick and heal themselves on a raw food diet. I saw some people come in very sick and leave marginally better on a raw food diet. I saw people – including me – who ate mostly raw and incorporated a few additional principles, with bright, beautiful eyes, radiant skin, clear, welcoming energy, and beautiful physiques.

This is when I confirmed:
Everyone is unique and has their own requirements, their own journey, and their own calling. I cannot tell someone exactly what is right for them. I can help someone discover their own path and I can share my own story.
Even if symptoms seem purely physical, there are always energetic components involved. All healing begins in consciousness. I was willing to let go of what I was doing that was not working, and that opened up doors to my health.

Conscious Nutrition is being conscious of my choices and choosing what gives most light and life. Instead of choosing my food based on ‘right or wrong’ and ‘good or bad’, I eat according to what deeply nourishes me today – now. I eat what gives me the most pure, pristine, energy and life and supports me in shining my light.
