A Visual Journey with Sto Lat Wellness

 I immigrated to the USA, in the 90s from

Poland when I was a child. Upon immigration to the USA I began to have several health issues such as; joint pain, muscle stiffness, random fevers, insomnia,  and that is just to name a few. It felt as though my body was always out of homeostatic balance with itself.

I saw many doctors and specialists throughout childhood into adulthood. The last time I was hospitalized, I was 25 years old. After my last hospitalization, the doctor diagnosed me with fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is defined as the presence of widespread chronic pain and fatigue throughout the body, amongst other symptoms such as hypersensitivity, depression, and insomnia. 

The doctor who diagnosed my symptoms prescribed a variety of pharmaceutical drugs and painkillers, which made me feel like a walking zombie. As a result of the variety of drugs, painkillers, and physical imbalance, I gained approximately 30 lbs within a month's time. I was not getting better; I was just a numb. I was not familiar with the medications the doctor prescribed. Once I researched what their intended use and potential side effects were, I made a conscious decision to throw them all away, take matters into my own hands, and try alternative natural medicine. 

I could no longer continue the vicious cycle of sickness, doctor, prescription drugs, rinse and repeat that kept me a prisoner struggling in my own body for years. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. There had to be a better way. We weren't born to go through life always sick, tired, numb or damaged.

I  began looking into traditional homeostatic natural medicine and experimented with various healing therapies that finally provided my breakthrough. After 30 years of living with chronic pain, depression, and insomnia, I finally had achieved living pain-free and could now sleep soundly and well rested. 

I am the happiest & healthiest I have ever been emotionally, mentally, physically, & spiritually. I never thought I could be this balanced, healthy, and joyful. 

Friends & family saw my transformation and began asking me about various natural holistic protocols they could try themselves for healing. As a result of the informational demand and attention I was receiving, I decided to open my LLC, Sto Lat Wellness, to help others in search of and in need of the holistic healing approach that helped inspire and improve my overall health in comparison to the pharmaceutical healthcare regimen that kept me in an unbalanced, unhealthy state for the majority of my life. 

 My goal is for people to understand the concept that “healthy isn’t a goal; it’s a way of living." I believe many people think living a holistic lifestyle takes a lot of time and effort; however, I believe everyone can achieve a successful holistic lifestyle. It's all about educating yourself and learning about your own body's responses; Why does my body react this way to this and that? What's the source causing my body's imbalance? These questions and many more like them are what we seek to answer on a holistic level with each client and provide them a fresh start to our stated goal of healthy living.
