My Journey
Hey! I am Elizabeth better known as just Liz, I've been plant based for just over a year now and can firmly say it's one of the best decisions I have ever made. My journey started at a very young age, whilst in kindergarten (AGE 4) an animal farm came to visit and after developing a strong bond with a baby piglet and going home to ask my Mum whether that was the bacon she fed me, I instantly became vegetarian. I went through most of my schooling years as a vego although had bouts of pescetarianism primarily when social events would become difficult.
Although a year after finishing school I started to experience horrible digestive issues and was originally recommended to follow a FODMAP food plan. This didn’t solve the problem and in fact only made things worse, I found it incredibly restrictive and hard to follow and after a few months attempting to follow it gave up only to be further reactive to certain food groups. At this point I was at my whit’s end, but everything changed when I saw an naturopath who diagnosed me with "Leaky Gut Syndrome" which WE solved with a gluten free/vegan lifestyle along with supplementing Magnesium. Ill admit it took at least six months to start to notice a difference, even still I have difficulties with certain foods but everyday gets easier and I cannot believe the change I've seen in myself and my attitude towards food and eating.
About Me
I am currently studying a Bachelors of Business online and have already graduated from an Associate Degree of Fashion Business, as cliché as it must sound Fashion is my passion and something I see myself doing throughout my life. I’ve always been intrigued by the Styling and Creative Direction aspect of the industry and hope one day I can create my own dream career by combining my love of styling for both Food and Fashion. I also love to Travel, and getting out to explore. I’m currently located in Perth, Western Australia and grew up here so it will always hold a special place in my heart. I prefer to follow a HCLF (high carb/low fat) diet, but am not strict on myself as I find eating intuitively with my body works best.
