How 10 Years of Antihistamines Affected My Health – The Final Chapter – Healing the Deepest Layers
By the time I came off my medication, my resting heart rate had stabilised, my energy was returning, and my thyroid function was in a healthy range. But deep down, I knew my healing journey wasn’t just about the physical.
I had addressed my gut, removed inflammatory foods, and rebuilt my strength. But there was still something deeper calling for attention—something that no diet, supplement, or exercise plan could fully resolve. It was time to face the emotional and energetic roots of my illness.
Healing Beyond the Physical: The Role of Emotional & Energetic Health
Throughout my journey, I had begun to notice patterns. Autoimmune disease isn’t just a physical condition; it has emotional and energetic ties. When I looked at my own history, it became clear:
My thyroid (the centre of communication and self-expression) had suffered in silence. For years, I had swallowed my words, held back my truth, and neglected my own needs.
Chronic stress had kept my nervous system in fight-or-flight mode. My body had been stuck in survival mode for years, responding as if it was constantly under threat.
My liver (linked to emotional processing) had been burdened with unprocessed grief, anger, and resentment.And the more I ignored those emotions, the more they showed up in my health.
It was no longer just about food or lifestyle—it was about shifting the way I felt, thought, and lived at my core.
The Power of Releasing Suppressed Emotions
I began working with energy healing modalities, deepening my understanding of how emotional suppression had shaped my health. I explored inner child healing, breathwork, and practices like Theta Healing—which allowed me to access subconscious beliefs that had been keeping me stuck in cycles of stress and depletion.
Some of the biggest shifts came when I allowed myself to fully feel what I had suppressed for years:
Grief over my father’s passing—I had buried myself in work instead of processing the loss.
The pressure to constantly achieve—a belief I had carried since childhood, fearing that rest meant weakness.
Unspoken truths in relationships—times I had sacrificed my own voice to keep the peace.
For the first time, I started to listen to my body in a way I never had before. Instead of forcing it into healing, I worked with it.
If I felt exhausted, I rested without guilt.
If I felt anxious, I asked what my body was trying to tell me.
If I felt triggered, I dug into the emotional wound instead of pushing it away.
This shift was everything. My body had spent years fighting for me, not against me. It wasn’t broken—it was just overloaded. And when I finally started giving it what it truly needed, it responded.
Self-Love: The Missing Piece
One of the biggest realisations I had was that true healing wasn’t just about removing what was harmful—it was about nourishing what was missing. And what had been missing for so long?
Deep, unconditional self-love.
I had spent so many years looking for answers outside of myself—doctors, diets, protocols, routines. But at the core of my healing was learning to trust myself again. To stop second-guessing my intuition. To stop betraying my own needs just to meet expectations.
Healing became less about “fixing” myself and more about accepting myself, supporting myself, and loving myself through the process.
The Biggest Lessons from My Journey
Your body is always speaking to you. Symptoms aren’t the enemy; they are messengers. Learning to listen to them is key.
You can’t heal in a state of stress. Nervous system regulation is just as important as nutrition, supplements, and exercise.
Healing is a whole-body experience. It’s not just about physical health. Emotional, mental, and energetic well-being are just as important.
Self-love is the foundation. True healing happens when you stop fighting yourself and start supporting yourself with compassion.
Reflections on Generational Healing
As I’ve moved deeper into my healing, I have reflected on patterns that ran through my family. My grandfather was the only other person in my family who had an autoimmune condition—rheumatoid arthritis. And I wondered: Was there a deeper link between our health struggles?
He had also experienced profound grief and emotional estrangement, sadly his mother died when he was a baby. Could suppressed emotions and unresolved trauma be passed down, not just in behaviour, but in the body itself? Science is beginning to confirm what many healing traditions have long believed—emotions, trauma, and stress don’t just disappear; they are stored, sometimes even across generations.
This realisation deepened my commitment to breaking the cycle. To not only heal myself but to create a new legacy of emotional and energetic well-being. Because healing isn’t just personal—it’s collective. And when we heal ourselves, we create ripple effects for those who come after us.
How This Journey Led Me to Help Others
The transformation I experienced changed everything. I realised that true healing is about more than just diet and supplements—it’s about understanding the mind-body-energy connection and learning to work with your body rather than against it.
This is exactly why I do the work I do today. I guide others through their own healing journeys, not just with nutrition but with a holistic, personalised approach that integrates:
Functional nutrition & naturopathic principles
Nervous system regulation & energy healing
Emotional release, Mindset shifts & self-empowerment
Because true healing is not just about removing symptoms. It’s about coming home to yourself, learning to listen to your body, and stepping into a version of yourself that is stronger, freer, and more aligned than ever before.
This Isn’t the End—It’s Just the Beginning
This is just the beginning. Healing is not a destination; it’s a lifelong relationship with yourself. It isn’t about "getting back to who you were before"—it’s about stepping into a new version of yourself. One that is more connected, more aware, and more in tune with what your body and soul truly need.
My story didn’t end here, and I’ll share more about what came next in another chapter. But for now, if you’re on your own healing journey, know this: your body is always working for you. When you learn to listen, support, and trust it, true transformation happens.
If this journey resonated with you, if you see yourself in these words, I would love to hear from you. Whether you’re just starting your healing journey or deep in the process, know that you don’t have to do it alone.
Let’s walk this path together.
