[Self-Introduction] Why I, a person with an intractable disease, aspire to be a "Nurturing Diet Consultant"

Hello. My name is Junko, and I am an Elly-style Nurturing Diet® Consultant.
I am currently 53 years old. Since being diagnosed with an intractable disease about five years ago, I have been
"I want to live as healthily as possible!"
"I want to change the flow of my life!"
and have been stumbling around with those thoughts.

I have summarized why someone like me became a consultant.
I would be happy if you read until the end.

[Past]
A workaholic who tried too hard

I have been a writer since I was a student.
I joined the editorial department of a women's magazine as a writer's assistant, and spent my days diligently doing research and writing drafts until late at night...

After that, I worked at an editorial production company and an advertising production company.

- Long hours at the computer
- Plenty of overtime
- Almost zero exercise
- I love drinking parties!

I continued a lifestyle that was the exact opposite of healthy for a long time.

My personality is serious. I am the type to think about things alone, and I am the type to immerse myself in work. As the eldest daughter and type A (though that might not be related), people around me often told me"You try too hard".

My health was basically...

♦ Heavysluggish~(Height 160cm, Max weight 58kg)

♦ Relieving stress withbeer(chronic sensitivity to cold)

♦ Hatinglocalized weight gainmade choosing clothes painful (stress)

I always had avague sense of anxiety


that "I can't go on like this."
Suddenly, I would think "Okay!" and try popular diets or health methods, but most of them ended as temporary fads, and I couldn't make them a habit as a "personal matter."



The reason was that Icould not feel any "change". Deep in my heart, feelings of irritation and frustration were swirling, and now that I think about it, I was alump of "Qi stagnation".



Even so, until I was in my 40s,
my physical and mental strength were still full, and above all, the joy and sense of accomplishment from my work were great, so I


"Well, it can't be helped"

and looked away from the truth right in front of me.

[The worst turning point that visited suddenly]

However, when I reached my late 40s, I was hit by a situation that could not be dismissed as "it can't be helped."


I developed an intractable disease.


It is an autoimmune disease, a nationally designated intractable disease.
(Sorry for the heavy story)

Although I had an unhealthy lifestyle until then, I had never had any connection to illness, so I couldn't believe it.


Of all things, an intractable disease... Me? You're kidding, right?

But the pain in my body had reached its peak, so without thinking about this or that, I quit my job and went into about a month and a half of hospitalization.
There are various types and stages of intractable diseases, but fortunately, the symptoms subsided with medication.

<Aside>
I was surprised that the pain in my body disappeared easily as soon as I took the medicine, and I began to have the thought"Medicine is amazing but scary."This experience sparked my interest in pharmaceuticals and the human body, which led me to acquire qualifications such as a registered sales clerk.

[After discharge, another shock]

Anyway.
For now, I'm glad.

From here, it's a restart.

Just as I was getting enthusiastic.
What was waiting for me after I was discharged and finally returned to daily life was another shock.

It was...
"The heaviest sluggishness in body and mind ever"


Although the pain in my body had subsided, my appetite exploded due to the side effects of the medicine, and
my weight increased even more.Moon face (a state where the face becomes round like a full moon), whole-body coldness, swelling, sagging, hair loss, etc.
"unpleasant things" came one after another.

My feelings were depressed, and I had no motivation. I can't go on like this... I finally started to face the"truth right in front of me" seriously.

From there, I demonstrated my true ability as a "serious hard worker."
I read through popular books and SNS one after another, and while repeating trial and error, I had a

"click" encounter.That was the Elly-style Nurturing Diet®.

By practicing according to the videos and the book 'Natural Slimming Power',
my physical condition improved rapidly, and the localized weight gain that had been a source of worry was resolved. At the same time, my mood lifted, and a peaceful daily life returned.


'How happy it is to feel good in one's body.'

Furthermore,
the desire to challenge myself with new thingswelled up, and I began to take a step that I never would have imagined for myself before,
aspiring to become a Nurturing Diet Consultant.
Numerous changes occurred in a short period of time.



It was a precious experience that made me feel hope for the future..

[Future Vision]

My thoughts on health, realized after contracting an incurable disease, and the success story of 'even I could change'
are the driving forces behind my aspiration to become a consultant.
Even if a wave of poor health comes,


it's okay. You can return to health.
I hope that such
a protective charm-like methodreaches as many people as possible.I intend to work on this with all my heart and full effort.
