Agness
Hi there! I am Agness and I often call myself a “holistic health and fitness ninja” because I am so passionate about taking a holistic approach to health and longevity through holistic nutrition, mindset practices, and the right movement. I LOVE digging into longevity and bio-hacking studies and testing various approaches to optimize my health. BUT… that wasn’t always the case.
Over 10 years ago, I was struggling with severe acne, extra weight, depression, anxiety, and bulimia. I lacked confidence and self-worth turning to food and work for comfort and distraction. My days revolved around trying to be perfect in every aspect of my life. I sacrificed my sleep to work more so that I can feel worthy of love, appreciation, and recognition. I restricted my food and controlled my exercise regime to look a certain way which resulted in developing binge eating habits that I couldn’t stop so easily. As a consequence of my actions, I had a severe H.Pylori infection, an IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) flare-up, and chronic constipation. On Top of that, I was constantly bloated, grumpy, and just mean to myself and others.
At some point, I had enough of being in pain and feeling sorry for myself and I decided it was time for a change. I didn’t want to feel and look this way anymore. I took action and I reached out for help and shared my story with others. Soon after I started working with a Bioindividual and Functional Nutritionist who educated me on food science. Together we were on a journey to discover a very fascinating (as it turned out to me later) relationship between human biochemistry, genetics, and nutrients. This experience motivated my geeky side to kick in and I also dived into the world of research in health, fitness, and psychology addressing all of the issues I was dealing with – one by one.
During this phase, I became so interested in human biochemistry, nutrition, and genetics implementing and testing different approaches toward my food, movement, and mind. I became “obsessed” (in a good way) with finding a solution for myself that is sustainable. Amongst many changes, I started cooking my own meals and eating way more nutritious foods that gave me a lot of energy and caused no stomach issues. I swapped my intense everyday gym split routine with daily walks and 3 functional training sessions a week stressing my body less and therefore feeling better and seeing the results I always wanted. I was also practicing daily mindfulness and meditation, I prioritized my sleep and self-care habits.
And I did succeed! Finally, I was able to say goodbye to acne, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and bulimia! I now wake up every morning excited and motivated to train, cook, eat, and achieve my goals in different aspects of my life. I’m finally full of life!
