I’ll tell you more about myself.

At 14, after a diagnosis of severe double scoliosis, I became vegan. For years, I experienced quite drastic weight changes, horrible menstrual pain every month (dysmenorrhea), migraines, inflammation, etc.

I was diagnosed with a cyst at 23 years old. A fluid-filled cyst, they said. The reality was completely different; I was suffering from PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome).

At that time, after being prescribed birth control pills, patches, etc., they decided that the best option for me was IMPLANON (a contraceptive implant that is inserted into the arm, just under the skin…)

The pains worsened, I suffered from amenorrhea for a period of 10 months (that made everything worse). I started experiencing hair loss, severe acne, joint pain, and my back pain worsened.

Desperate, my mother recommended that I have the implant removed, and upon doing so, I noticed some improvement in the pain. However, I lost a lot of weight over the following months, weighing only 125 pounds (57 kilograms), with a height of 5 feet 8 inches (1.74 meters). My bleeding was very heavy, and the lack of appetite constantly appeared and disappeared. My body was a hormonal upheaval.

At 29 years old, I began to suffer drastically from severe inflammation throughout my body. I didn’t understand what was happening because I was eating exactly the same (still vegan) and exercising. They told me I was a healthy woman. I went to doctors, underwent tests, saw nutritionists, therapists, endocrinologists, and it only got worse.

At 33 years old and weighing 253 pounds (115 kg), panic attacks began, along with anxiety, horrible body pains, type 2 diabetes, hypothyroidism, fatty liver, irregular menstruation, constipation lasting up to a week, spots, hives, and acne on the face and body, hair loss with bald patches on the head, paleness, and even a yellowish skin tone.

From that moment on, I acted for my health and that of my partner (Victor) as he was in a very similar situation. I began to research nutrition and metabolic processes. I radically changed my entire lifestyle and diet. I switched to a ketogenic diet, gradually implementing intermittent fasting. To my surprise, I lost almost 44 pounds (20 kg) in a month. In the following 3 months, I reversed fatty liver, hypothyroidism, and already weighed 180 pounds (82 kg). After 9 months, my weight was 154 pounds (70 kg), my hair was abundant, I no longer suffered from acne or hives, and my facial spots began to disappear. The inflammation was gone, and most importantly, the vitality and digestion I had were perfect.

Now, at 37 years old, and after 2 and a half years in my own Irvi Ancestral lifestyle, I can say that I am a woman who enjoys my menstruation without any pain. My hair is now long and thicker than ever. My skin has a perfect tone, and there is no trace of imperfections (the spots disappeared on their own). I have achieved metabolic healing by enjoying myself like never before. Now, I am completely healthy in body, mind, and soul.
