	I got breast implants in 2015.  I had always wanted them because I had lost a lot of weight and I wanted to look more proportionate.  Immediately after surgury, I gained probably 10-15 lbs practically overnight.  I also started getting chronic infections such as bronchitis, laryngitis, pneumonia, strep, etc.  I had trouble sleeping and would sometimes eat in my sleep.  I started struggling with GERD again or what I thought was GERD.  It felt like I was choking.  I spent thousands of dollars going to different doctors to try to figure what was wrong with me.  I didn't understand why I kept getting sick.  Fast forward to March 2018...I ended up in the ER with a really high fever.  They pumped me full of whatever drugs they thought would help because they didn't know what was wrong.  I woke up with Thrush the next day.  My PCP at the time prescribed Diflucan and I lost around 5 lbs overnight.  I lost 10 lns within a week.  
	I made the decision to go to a Functional Medicine doctor in Chicago.  She listened to me and ran a ton of bloodwork.  I found out I had Hashimotos Hypothyroidism, Candida Overgrowth, Lyme Disease, SIBO, chronic inflammation, and later that year Vitiligo.  My doctor told me it was my breast implants and I didn't want to believe her at first.  I told her lets proceed with treatment.  We did and I started doing better.  I lost weight.  When we treated SIBO, I got down to 119 lbs.  I can't even remember a time when I weighed that much.   Then, between December 2018 and February 2019, I got the stomach flu, a UTI, a kidney infection, and then strep throat.  It was at that time that I decided to put my health first and remove my breast implants.  I explanted in June 2019 and I remember just being able to breathe when I woke up from surgery.  I started feeling a lot better and a lot of my symptoms went away.  
	I am so grateful for functional medicine.  My doctor helped me get to the root cause of why I was struggling.  That is one of the main reasons I went back to school to become a functional medicine health coach.  I see the value in helping others figure out why they are struggling with their health.  I also see the value in helping others be proactive when it comes to their health.  I am very passionate about holistic health, nutrition, and fitness.  I want to help you achieve your goals.

Your vision and your goals.  We will focus on you during this session.

My name is Christina Dezelan and I am an ADAPT Certified Functional Health Coach.  I have also been certified as a ISSA (International Sports Sciences Association) personal trainer and nutritionist.   I am passionate about gut health, autoimmune disease, breast implant illness and women’s health because I have also struggled in those areas of my own health before.  I think it’s important to be proactive and take care of yourself because if you can’t take care of yourself, how can you take care of others.   I like doing things naturally and holistically when it comes to health and wellness.   In my free time, I love to workout, travel, visit my friends and family, go to live music events and comedy shows, go to or watch hockey games, go to the beach, hiking, etc.   I want to help you achieve optimal health.  

This session is all about your health and wellness goals.
