Resilience Unveiled: Alicia Schoolman's Journey from Health Struggles to Holistic Wellness
Episode 11
Thursday, 7 March, 2024
Alicia Schoolman, a resilient individual with a remarkable journey, has overcome numerous health struggles that have shaped her into a stronger person. From wearing leg braces as an infant and a urinary system surgery as a child to multiple surgeries, chronic pain, fatigue, and chronic severe illnesses as an adult. Alicia's challenges fostered her resilience and ability to find joy in life. Her path led her through gymnastics, competitive sports, and a career in coaching, ultimately transitioning to Functional Medicine. Despite financial challenges and a debilitating health crisis involving a gallbladder surgery gone wrong, Alicia persevered, finding healing through mind-body practices like Qi-Gong and adopting a holistic lifestyle to get her health, body, and life back following exploratory abdominal surgery. Alicia's journey inspired her to help others facing health and life struggles. She became a certified personal trainer, delving into holistic approaches before the term "health coaching" became popular. Battling idiopathic health issues during pregnancy, childbirth, and post-childbirth, Alicia explored holistic nutrition and researched the connections between toxins, autoimmune problems, asthma, allergies, and chronic pain/fatigue. Her journey of cleaning up her life from toxins, adopting dietary changes, and addressing health issues serves as a testament to continuous learning in the realm of nutrition and wellness. Facing severe chronic pain, fatigue, and a near-death experience from pneumonia, Alicia's dedication to self-discovery, honoring her body’s messages, and a toxin-free life led her to crucial dietary changes. Despite initial resistance, she embraced a gluten, corn, and dairy-free lifestyle, realizing the profound impact on her well-being. Alicia's story is a testament to the ongoing journey of wellness, emphasizing the importance of adapting and learning throughout life. Through her experiences, she discovered her calling to assist others in their health struggles, blending her expertise in fitness, balance, stress management, reducing toxin exposure, and holistic health coaching. Her remarkable journey and commitment to continuous learning inspire others to embark on their paths to holistic well-being. #HolisticWellness #ResilienceJourney #FunctionalMedicine #HealthCoaching #MindBodyHealing #ToxinFreeLiving You can book with Alicia here: https://www.pure-living.co/coaches/alicia-schoolman
