Food For Thought

After discovering that changes to her diet could drastically improve her health, Lauren has launched her dream business all thanks to CNM, the College of Naturopathic Medicine

I became very unwell with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome during my second year at university. After seeing a variety of GPs and specialists, who all told me that my case was incurable, I discovered that changes to my diet and lifestyle could truly have the power to help relieve my symptoms and improve my overall wellbeing. I became really interested in nutrition and how the human body works, so I left university with a new career in mind and enrolled in Naturopathy and Nutrition at CNM. Their combination of academic learning and clinical training was really attractive to me, as well as the flexibility to still work alongside and study part-time.

What I loved most about CNM’s course was that it really helped me understand just how important diet and lifestyle can be when maintaining your health. It gave me the tools I needed to make decisions for my own health and provided me with the experience of working with clients in a clinical setting. CNM changed my life because it gave me the ability to have the lifestyle I always desired. I launched my dream business in something I’m truly passionate about: nutrition and coaching people to become the healthiest versions of themselves. I have now co-founded my own wellness brand, ARDERE, with my sister, where we provide expert nutritional advice, offer healthy recipes and sell 100 percent organic natural-wax aromatherapy candles. I’m particularly interested in helping people who have a poor relationship with food or weight issues. If you’re keen to learn more about functional medicine, and how diet, lifestyle and overall wellbeing can be achieved through natural modalities, CNM provides great resources and develops your skills to become a confident practitioner.
