ABOUT COACH SARAH JOY
The Moment My Life Dramatically Changed..
It all started in September 2008 when I was suffering through one of the most challenging periods of my life. The 2008 financial crash hit hard, and my family was not spared. My husband lost his job, and I faced a significant reduction in my work hours and benefits. We were struggling to make ends meet, and the stress was taking a severe toll on my health. I began experiencing symptoms that seemed inexplicable: severe fatigue, unexplained weight loss, and hair falling out in clumps.
Despite seeing numerous doctors and trying various treatments, my health continued to deteriorate. The diagnosis of hypothyroidism in 2009 was just the beginning of a long and painful journey. Over the next several years, I battled not only with my health but also with personal turmoil, including a failing marriage and the tragic death of my brother. These experiences were devastating, but they also fueled my determination to find a solution.
In my darkest hours, I realized that traditional medical approaches were not providing the answers or relief I needed. This realization ignited a fire within me to take control of my own health. I immersed myself in research, learning everything I could about thyroid health, chronic viral infections, and holistic healing. Through sheer determination and relentless pursuit of knowledge, I discovered a path to recovery.
Today, I am proud to say that I have reversed my hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's through natural and holistic methods. My journey has equipped me with invaluable insights and a profound understanding of the struggles faced by those with similar conditions. This is why I am passionate about helping others through my coaching and programs.
I refused to allow them to see me continue to struggle...
As a single mother of two, it is vitally important for me to set a strong example and be a pillar of health and resilience for my children. Navigating life’s challenges alone has shown me the immense strength and determination required to overcome obstacles. When I was sick, it was incredibly difficult to balance my health issues with the demands of motherhood. The fatigue and pain often left me feeling overwhelmed and powerless, but my love for my children fueled my determination to find a solution. While they are grown now, the younger years were especially difficult, but I refused to allow them to see me continue to struggle.
My role as a mother drives my passion for helping others achieve their health goals because I understand firsthand the need for stability, energy, and wellness in balancing personal and family responsibilities. By prioritizing my well-being and supporting others in their health journeys, I can ensure a brighter, healthier future for my family and inspire other single parents to do the same.
The tragic loss of my brother forced me to reevaluate my life.
The tragic loss of my brother was a profound turning point in my life. He was not only my sibling but also my best friend and confidant, and his untimely death was a devastating blow. My brother had been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s while he was in prison, and despite these challenges, he remained a source of inspiration for me. After his release, he struggled to readjust to society and cope with his health issues. Sadly, he turned back to drugs, leading to a tragic encounter with the police where he was shot 14 times just three days before his 39th birthday.
His passing jolted me out of the depths of my own struggles and forced me to reevaluate my life. In the midst of my grief, I found a renewed sense of purpose and determination. I realized that if I didn't make a change, my own health battles could rob me of precious time with my loved ones, just as they had taken him away from me. His death illuminated the preciousness of life and the urgency to live it fully and healthily. I saw clearly that life is too short to be spent in a cycle of pain and suffering.
This heart-wrenching experience fueled my commitment to reclaim my health and ultimately inspired me to help others do the same. I immersed myself in learning and researching, driven by the memory of my brother and the lessons his life and death taught me. Through this loss, I discovered an inner strength and resilience I never knew I had. I became determined not just to survive but to thrive and to guide others on a similar path to wellness.
My brother’s memory continues to drive my passion for empowering others on their health journeys. His life and untimely death serve as a constant reminder of why I do what I do. Every success story I witness, every person I help to reclaim their health, is a tribute to him. His legacy lives on through my work, and it is my mission to ensure that others do not have to suffer as he did. This profound loss has given my life a deeper meaning and has transformed my pain into a powerful catalyst for change and healing.
