Welcome to Nurtured by Nature

Hi everyone,

I am so excited you found me here and landed on my website. Since this is my first blog post, I thought I would share a little about my story. It’s really quite simple, I love trying to heal with things from nature. I have become obsessed with clean eating, clean living and helping others to do the same. I have been on this journey for about 20 plus years. For me, it’s been a slow and gradual process, learning from past mistakes and educating myself to new ideas. It seems today we have been lulled into believing that there is a one way method that fixes all our health issues. I have come to learn that there are many other ways, natural ways to heal. They just take more time and sometimes a lot more work and patience but the benefits are long lasting.

I am happily married with two children and I have for the most part tried to give my family remedies from natural resources. My parents grew up in Hungary and passed along some natural remedies from their country. This intrigued me, what did people do before modern medicine? They used herbs and plants for medicinal purposes and somewhere along the years this has been forgotten in the western world. I wanted to learn and understand how I could use these methods with my family and get back to the basics. Sometimes these remedies seemed very unconventional, but they seemed to work and with none of the harsh ingredients, horrible side effects and weakening of our immune systems.

I really hate that so many people are suffering and feel that there is no answer or cure. I decided that I wanted to help people see that there is hope and a better way. Of course, I am no miracle worker, but I do think there are many aspects that today's doctors overlook, for example, nutrition. Most doctors are not taught more than one class or so in nutrition in med school. Yet, nutrition is a key factor in a person’s health. It can really change the way they feel and with the proper foods, it can actually start to heal them. 

I believe we need to be health investigators, and from my experience most ailments start in our gut. Our gut has a very diverse microbiome and more than 70% of our immune system resides in our gut. As you can imagine if the gut microbiome is off, then this can create a domino effect with our health. I believe the gut, also known as your second brain, is a great starting point in getting your health back on track, so this is where I would like to start.

Many of you out there are suffering with ailments, pains, or symptoms, that you may either believe are normal or hereditary. Or perhaps you are one of those people who have gone to countless doctors and nobody seems to be able to help you with issues like bloating, constipation, diarrhea and other nagging health conditions. I am here to say that there are answers to these problems.

As we work through your health journey I want you to know that I empathize with you. I was recently diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease, which came as a shock to me becasue I thought I was doing everything correctly. Unfortunately, what I have learned is that our food is not as safe as it used to be. Our soils are depleted of nutrients, our foods are sprayed with dangerous chemicals and these take a toll on our health. I am still learning on how to best treat myself with this disease, but I am excited to see how using natural supplements and the right foods can help change my outcome. I look forward to doing the same for you.

I am excited to start this journey with you,

Babette
