My Story
Catherine Whitaker — Cancer Survivor, Health Coach
I’m Catherine, your Health C
oach for Root Cause Healing —
At 26 years old, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. I was told by my oncologist “there is no known cause.” That statement left me feeling powerless, so I immersed myself in research. What I discovered led me down the rabbit hole of toxins & environmental exposures.
Although I was unaware at the time, my challenges with toxic overload began when I was a teenager. Symptoms of unrelenting fatigue & brain fog indicated something was wrong, but conventional medicine failed to ask why. Doctors said “there’s nothing wrong,” & “it’s in your head.” After months of excluding possibilities, I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), an invisible disease with no known treatment or cure. I was told to, “monitor energy expenditures wisely.” That was it. There was no conversation about root causes or how to heal.
I made lifestyle changes & with time began to manage. I got by for years, some periods better than others, never truly understanding that my body was crying out for help. As time passed, no matter how clean I ate or how routinely I exercised, I was never in a true state of health because I wasn’t addressing my root causes. I was left susceptible to carcinogens & eventually cancer cell growth.
I still get emotional when I look back on my health journey. All I went through to get here today — the medical gaslighting & how drastically Western medicine failed me — is overwhelming.
My experience has shown me my life’s purpose — educating & guiding others to identify their root causes, work through cellular detoxification, & live a toxic-free lifestyle. For 3 years, I’ve been doing just that & the results my clients have achieved fill my heart with joy!
If you’re looking for a deeper understanding of your health & a true root cause approach to healing, I’d be honored to work with you. Let’s create your personalized program so you can Thrive too.
