Inspiring Wellness... by Lori Ellis
My absolute passion and purpose is to inspire you to think of your health as a fun and exciting journey. After all, when your body operates at its maximum potential there are no limits to what you can experience. Our body is not who we are, but it houses who we are; our spirit, soul, heart, and mind.
True wellness involves an awareness of the whole person and every aspect of life. Think of your whole wellness picture like a puzzle made up of many essential pieces. Everyone’ s wellness picture looks a little bit different, made up of their own unique puzzle pieces. While there are variables like gender, age, ethnicity, upbringing, genetic predispositions, and even environmental impact, 75 % of every single person’ s picture is the same. That 75 % is made up of water! Water truly is life and consuming it regularly is the easiest, first step.
Next to air, water is the most necessary life sustaining element. So, drinking healthy water is important, and drinking enough water to be hydrated is imperative! In the order of importance of life sustaining elements, the list reads air first, then water, then food. Next to breathing, water is the next most crucial necessity for our bodies.
Nutrition is of course important as well, and there are very specific macro and micronutrients that the body requires to do its many amazing and miraculous processes every day to keep us alive.

Let me back up a bit and let you know that not only did I not always know this information, there was a time I didn’ t even think about what I put into my body. I was not raised in a health-conscious household and I had no idea about nutrition or what the body needs. In my teens and as a young adult, I began exercising to try to lose weight. I tried every diet imaginable, I ate junk food and lived on diet soda. I would restrict my calories, basically starving myself, when I really got determined to try to lose a few pounds. So, basically, I did everything wrong.
" I was excited to share everything I learned, and I continue to be driven by this passion to share whole life wellness with the world!"
I really knew nothing at all about health or wellness. As a result, 17 years ago, at the young age of 33, I became very ill with inflammatory endometriosis, grew benign tumors on my ovaries the size of grapefruits, and ended up having two surgeries two years in a row.
The second one left me surgically menopausal. I remember waking up in the recovery room thinking,“ Now what?” I was only 33 years old but I felt about 110 years old. I had two little children at home, and now I had to think about menopause.
I decided right then and there to figure out what my body needed. I was going to learn the physiology of the body and how to live healthy so I would never end up on an operating table again. I wanted to be well and fit, and have energy for my children. I was also developed a strong passion for helping other people avoid what had just happened to me.
This began my life long journey toward wellness, and an incredibly meaningful and passionate purpose for my life. While I was recovering from surgery, I read anything I could get my hands on about detoxification, hydration, body composition, reducing inflammation, body physiology, hormones, and more. I enrolled in an amazing holistic health and nutrition school, where I witnessed firsthand how the body is a miraculous healing machine, and when given the proper hydration and nutrition, can heal itself and even reverse inflammatory conditions that had taken root. I obtained certifications including fitness training. I was excited to share everything I learned, and I continue to be driven by this passion to share whole life wellness with the world!
Today, now at the age of 50, I feel better than ever in my life! I have a healthy body composition, incredible energy and vitality, I am not on any medications, and life is wonderful! This is a complete turnaround from where I used to be. I’ m living proof that the body can reverse inflammatory conditions, and biological age need not equal chronological age. When we give the body what it needs, it can do amazing things, even reverse the aging process!
