Hi, I’m Caitlin Thompson. And I understand your struggle better than most.

You see, I used to be chronically ill as well. For most of my life, I was sick and I didn’t even realize it. I thought it was normal to be tired all the time, have joint pain and get constant colds.

I was riddled with chronic fatigue, pain, digestive issues, depression, anxiety, skin issues and a general struggle to thrive. I felt like I couldn’t keep up with the rest of the world. I needed to sleep 14 hours a day and still never felt rested. I would fall asleep in class, be in intense pain from sitting still and watching a 90 minute movie, and never felt satiated by food. 

One day while in college during my undergraduate neurobiology degree, I arrived at school for my 8 am class after sleeping 12 hours the night before. After my class, I went to the library and slept sideways in a couch chair for another 2 hours between classes under fluorescent lights with activity all around. 

That was when I realized, this is not right! I should not be so tired that I can sleep in these circumstances!

That’s when I decided to heal myself.

Once I woke up and realized I wasn’t living up to my full potential, I used my scientific background as a neurobiologist to understand everything I could about autoimmunity and my own body.

Later, I discovered that I was effected by Lyme disease, chronic fatigue, food allergies, PTSD, autoimmunity, Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, fibromyalgia, hypothyroidism, nutritional deficiencies, Ebstein barr virus, and other chronic gut and central nervous system infections. 

In the end, these were only words that doctors used to describe a body that was severly out of balance. My body was so confused and tired, that it was attacking it’s self.

And now, 5 years later, I am in remission.

How did I do it you might ask? Well, it wasn’t easy. It took persistence, dedication and a strong belief that my body could get better. I changed my entire lifestyle, my mentality and the way I engage with the world. 

Thanks to my curiosity, unstoppable ambition and my insatiable thirst for scientific knowledge, I was able holistically reassemble the broken parts of myself to reintegrate as a whole and balanced being again. 

I was willing to go to the extremes and try even the craziest- sounding interventions in search of that silver-bullet. I experimented and explored everything I could, figuring out what works and what doesn’t. I discovered powerful secrets to healing that doctors just don’t talk about.

Piece by piece, I started putting my self back together. Each day, I continued to believe in my body’s healing abilities and improved slowly but surely. I never gave up. I knew that I was worth it.

My illness was a blessing because without it, I would not have learned everything I now know that can help YOU.
