About Me
Hi, my name is Zoe Lavenia and I am a fully qualified Personal Trainer and Nutrition Expert.
At the age of 19 whilst attending my first year of university, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. This came as a complete shock to my family and I. At the time, I had no real understanding of what Multiple Sclerosis was (apart from associating it with wheel chairs and older people).
After suffering from a number of terrifying relapses in such a short space of time, I started taking 'disease modifying drugs' namely, Rebif.
After injecting Rebif for a short period of time and not only still relapsing but also experiencing the side effects that are associated with 'disease modifying drugs,' I decided that there had to be another way and I subsequently investigated healing my body through this disease myself. This led to many hours of researching as much information I possibly could about the disease and the different foods and vitamins that could help alleviate my symptoms.
All of my research has led to huge changes in my life. Just before my diagnosis I was leading a very unhealthy lifestyle and I was not doing any form of exercise.
After dramatically changing my lifestyle through diet, exercise and stress management, I noticed my symptoms disappearing and I started receiving incredibly positive results from my doctors. I decided to further incorporate nutrition into my lifestyle by becoming a personal trainer and nutrition consultant.
My life so far has been an incredible journey. I have gone from being given what I thought was a death sentence, to being free from MS symptoms for years instead of days, swapping the wheel chair for weights, becoming stronger and fitter every single day, entering the health and fitness industry as a profession and most importantly, helping others reach their health/fitness related goals.
Whether you are an MS sufferer yourself or you are interested in changing your lifestyle, figure, diet or you simply want to educate yourself further on these topics; please do look through my website, I will always be updating the content. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
I wish good health upon you all.
Zoe X
