Awaken Within Holistic Nutrition

Glenyss Ellis NTP

Are you ready to make a change?

Welcome to my site. I am a graduate of the Nutritional Therapy Associations (NTA). My gifts and focus are in holistic arts, health and lifestyle.

I am also trained and educated in; Massage Therapy, Aesthetics, Herbology, Aromatherapy, Culinary, and Functional or Foundational Nutrition. I no longer practice Massage or Aesthetics.

Due to my personal health life trials as a Type 1-1/2 insulin dependent-diabetic of 40 yrs. I have dedicated years of schooling, reading and research on how to reverse diabetes and live a better life. Going down the many rabbit holes, I discovered that nutritional deficiencies were related to auto-immune diseases such diabetes.

Here is were it all begins:

"You Are What You Eat"

" All Disease Begins in the Gut " Hippocrates

"God makes perfection, humans destroy God's creations"
"The Body is always trying to stay in balance this is called Homeostasis"
"Keeping the body in balance /homeostasis makes our body's function optimally and will avoid disease, as God intended."
"The body is an organic machine that needs Air, Water and Nutrients/fuel/food,"
Your body does not make minerals, you must obtain these through green plant foods or animals that consume the green plants too.
"Your liver is your body's largest blood purifier and filtration system, and it has 500 jobs to do all the time".
"Your body detoxes and heals as you sleep."
"Sleep (Circadian rhythm) is very important for the body to heal and detox"
"Hydration is very important for the body to heal and detox", without water you will shrivel up and die. think how your cells are when you are dehydrated
"Stress be it ( mind, body and spirit) is the number one cause of disease"
"Homeostasis of the body can be obtained by understanding the Foundations of the Body
Cause and Effect" or "Action and Reaction"."
"For every Cause there will be an Effect. This means your every Action will have a Reaction, known as consequences".

" Let Food Be Thy Medicine and Medicine Be Thy Food" Hippocrates

I have heard this saying throughout my life, but it has never resonated with me more, than it does now. According to Livestrong.com (2009)

“The systems of your body are both distinct and interactive and always working to maintain homeostasis, or equilibrium. To contribute to the overall physical equilibrium that sustains life, each system must meet its metabolic needs through the nutrition you get from foods.” (by Nancy Clarke 2009)

I have put this website together to help others find the answers to their personal trials too.

It Starts with You and, You Making a CHANGE

This health journey is not easy, you have to do a lot of soul searching, and correction in your life. The change is gradual. The results will not be right away and remember your particular condition was not manifested overnight.

But!

Day by day, as you start to become more aware and you implement these gradual changes in your life. You will start to see the changes,

Just think of these things; You are a creator and you just planted a seed in your garden, The seed will only grow if it is nurtured and fed daily. this means; watered, air and fed nutrients from the soil. . the benefits are that you get to watch your little creation grow in to beautiful plant. This is what brings joy to us and God enjoys watching his children grow too.

"Your Health is Your Wealth"

Leave the old worn out ways behind, it is time to change and "Awaken Within"

I give God all the praise and the glory. I am so grateful to him for the daily life lessons, blessings and gifts that he has bestowed on me. God Bless
