“How are you looking after yourself?

How are you supporting yourself?”

These are two questions that naturopath Nina Stabey would ask you in your first meeting with her. It’s not the weight loss or health concern that she jumps in with; she begins with addressing your relationship with yourself.

In our episode on the food-mind-body connection, Nina Stabey shares with us some deep insights on returning to the body while revealing her own amazing story about her recovery from Crohn’s disease.

Many years ago, Nina was on the other side of health and connection with her body. Living with Crohn’s, she spent three years in and out of hospitals, going through surgeries and an addiction to Pethidine. She came to a fork in the road where she could see two paths. One path was a path of disconnection, of continuing the abuse of her body, and ending up with a colostomy bag. The other path was a path of change; a path where she would reconnect and reclaim her life.

The second was the path she took, and we are so glad that she did! She discovered that after taking out the foods that did her body harm, her symptoms resolved. She was then inspired to take the journey to help other people in their relationship with their mind, body, and food.

Nina believes that we are not supposed to feel empty. She believes that our natural state is a state of joy, a state of play,… a state of feeling our loveliness.

“We have an epidemic out there of disembodiment,” Nina shares, “We’re not living in our bodies. We’re checked out.”
